River View Bed and Breakfast

A very welcoming B and B with great views of the weir on the River Swale from the attic room and across the country side. Very welcoming owners and nothing any trouble for them. Good food and aa great view from the terrace. Only grumble, too many stairs from the attic the breakfast room. Also low roof in attic a problem.

This B and B was one of the best I've had the pleasure of staying in. I found Jillian a very friendly and helpful host. The veggie option for breakfast was delicious. But be warned if you don't like stairs, this is not the place for you! ;-)

Staying here is like staying at your aunt’s house. Jill made us feel like family right away. Our attic room was small, but very cozy and was one of our favorite rooms on our entire trek. Its dormer window had a great view of the keep of Richmond castle. The other room overlooks the falls on the Swale, but is a bit smaller than our castle view room. The bed was very comfortable, and as Richmond was a two night stay for us, the room was a wonderful refuge for rest. The location couldn’t be better. It’s less than a two minute walk to the castle and town center, but far enough from it so you don’t hear the noise. And its view of the falls is amazing. We enjoyed sitting on the back patio, drinking wine and reading books while watching families enjoy the falls. Breakfast was delicious, and Jill was delightful company. We would definitely stay here again. A note if you have trouble walking or getting around: the road between the town and River View is somewhat steep, and the rooms are at the top of a couple of flights of stairs. But for us…perfection!

Landlady was wonderful, good breakfast, desperately needs updating, nowhere to put your clothes if you're in one of the attic rooms, there were no drawers, a small cupboard that passed as a wardrobe but you would need to be a hobbit to use it.

Amazing value for money. Warm, friendly hosts, beautiful views. Slightly old fashioned decor and a lot of stairs: so long as you don't mind that this place is great.
