What guests think

At Black Lion Hotel Richmond North Yorkshire, travellers highlight the central market place location and notably friendly, helpful staff, alongside generally well liked pub meals and breakfasts, making it a convenient base for exploring Richmond and the surrounding area.

Rooms range from cosy and sometimes spacious to dated or worn, with some reports of maintenance issues and noise from the street or the pub. Cleanliness is mostly acceptable but inconsistent, with some dusty areas and tired décor noted. Parking is very limited, and several guests found breakfast service or choice inconsistent or poor value. Expect a friendly, characterful town-centre inn with some quirks.

Easy friendly check in but once left the actual bar area the building in very poor condition, carpets on stairs/corridors dirty , paintwork on wall terrible. Room 11 which was ours very dark and dreary , ceilings covered in water stains and loose plaster , paint work chipped everywhere, bathroom very dated and dark and basic. Only mirror available was in the bathroom where obviously there's no power point , luckily I had a small hand mirror in my bag . Four poster bed had comfy mattress but every time you moved it creaked ! Bed linen very clean which was the only thing that kept us from leaving straight away . Car Park only had room for around 6 cars and full when we got there so had to find long stay car park. Can't fault the staff they were friendly. Very very disappointing definitely way over priced at £130 for one night .

We have stayed here many times as a stop over to the north east. Pub has been refurbished since our last stay and our room comfortable with all we needed for an overnight stay. Unfortunately this time breakfast wasnt included in our stay now costs £12.95 which we thought was a bit steep for a pub so did not have breakfast there. Had a nice evening meal in the pub though lots of choice. Parking very limited.

This is a wonderful traditional inn located within a nice, quiet, walkable village. Wi-Fi and cable television are unreliable, but that's what you get when you are out in the countryside. The dinner we had, along with the breakfast, was wonderful, and we loved taking a stroll near the river and the waterfalls.

Breakfast was from 8 am to 10 am booked breakfast at 9.30 am. When we ordered english breakfast items were unavailable because they ran out of them! The second breakfast was booked for 9.30 am we could not get a seat in th dining room as all tables were being used even after booking our table time! We were made to go down stairs in the bar and have our breakfast down there. Once again we had English breakfast with items unavailable again! No cups left to get a cup of tea as they were all used upstairs had to use a very small coffee cup to use for tea! This is not good enough from this hotel. As a Disabled War pensioner this is very disappointing from this hotel staff!

Our room was on top floor, it was really big! All 3 beds were very comfy, we slept like in the clouds. The room had plenty of tea/ coffee/ biscuits etc. The bathroom was large too. The building had things like chipped paint and dust in staircase etc, but building is a few hundred years old, so some things are hard to modernise. But we had a lovely stay. It was fun flicking through old books in our room. All staff were great. The evening sharing platter in pub downstairs was delicious, as well as breakfast in a lovely Parrot room. Thank you so much!

Arrived at the bar at 2.50 and asked if the room was ready to bb told we will call you when it’s ready so we had a drink at the bar . After 3 we asked another member of staff who checked us in straight away . The room was very dusty so we told them they sent someone to clean it Mold in wardrobe , toilet dripping all night . Breakfast was just just ok , some of it cold . Overall very tired rooms . Certainly not worth £140 a night

Nice town for a stop on the coast to coast trail. It's too bad we didn't take a full rest day here as it's the biggest town on the trail. Accommodations were wonderful and staff was welcoming as we were dripping wet on arrival. Also the 2 twin beds were glorious and probably new (most are springs poking your body at the different stops). The breakfast avocado/eggs were delicious! The room was very cozy. Highly recommend

Bedroom small but very comfortable bed - but despite providing a hairdryer there was no mirror in the bedroom! Breakfast was disappointing and not worth the £12.95 - apart from the full English just mini cereal packets - no fruit, yoghurt or muesli offered and they wouldn’t do a cheese omelette when asked.
