My partner and I stayed at the end of January, 2015. Lovely local pub, situated in the heart of…read moreRichmond, overlooking the cobbled streets and the castle. The room was small but clean with an en-suite shower. It was quite noisy until around 12.00am, but thats what you would expect staying above a pub in a town centre. As part of the price £59.00 (for a double room) my partner and I had a full English breakfast the following morning, which included cereals and fruit juice, set out beautifully in front of an open log fire. Would highly recommend if you want to visit Richmond, the waterfalls or castle, bars & restaurants as it's very central and great value for money.

However,…read moreI have had the misfortune to enter this pub on two occasions, the most recent one being yesterday. Back in September, I was proudly awaiting two newly acquired foreign friends to join me for beer and much merriment. The night was ok, but there was this thing at the bar that looked like the infected people from 'I Am Legend', but after 19 pints of thinners and a DIY brain operation .. He was luckily ignored by my overseas' companions, and given a wide birth. Yesterday's freak was the biggest, most racist numpty I have ever had the misfortune to encounter. He was also very thick, and looked like the sort of person that would like to fight you, for saying 'have you got a light mate' .. He also could not make his mind up whether he was in Richmond, Portsmouth or Newcastle. If you feel the need to enter this establishment, be prepared to be talked at by some serious pond life ..
