Set in a lovely location, this pub offers a clean room with complimentary body washes, shampoo, conditioner and the usual tea and coffee. Stopped here one Monday evening, found the owners very pleasant and willing to go out of there way to help. The breakfast was excellent and they even have parking disc's so you can leave your car on the roadside outside the place. All in all one of the best places I've stayed while traveling around the UK.
Warm, friendly and helpful staff. Rooms and bar a bit rough and ready, but suited my needs for a few nights stay. Good hearty breakfast, but no yoghurt selections. Would recommend a stay for solo travelling or a place to get the head down if visiting on a short stay. Area felt safe and only a 5 minute walk to town centre. Good value for money, with no real complaints.
Proper pub based B&B so you know exactly what you are getting. We had a room at the top with great views of the castle and obviously away from the bar! The room was okay and did the job for somewhere to sleep before we enjoyed a really nice breakfast. The staff weee all vert polite and helpful.
A 5-minute walk from Richmond Castle, this redbrick Georgian pub with guestrooms was built in 1800, and is also a 7-minute walk from The Batts park along the River Swale, and 8 minutes' walk from Culloden Tower.
