Hot, sunny weekend, no opening window in room but could leave ensuite bathroom window & door open for fresh air. Hospitality tray and bottled water supplied as well as mini fridge, but that had terrible smell.
Only « continental » breakfast which was disappointing. The toaster didn’t work too well to toast crumpets.

I hate leaving things like this but I think everyone would agree with me here when I say this. I pulled up in the car park and decided I would book a night there and then as it was in a gorgeous setting and a lovely day. Anyway as I was 2 hours away from
Check in time I went for a walk, I then got a call from my mams care home saying she had taken a tumble and could I come straight away. This was at 2.15pm ( 15 mins past check in time) but I was still out on my walk and had not checked in. I went straight to the holly hill inn and explained my situation, I simply asked because I had booked through hotels.com and had not checked in yet if I could simply move my booking to another night maybe tomorrow and come back and I was told no! I explained again and said I am not asking for a refund but simply to switch the night stay for another so I wouldn’t lose out. To be told no! I spent over £100 for nothing and I really don’t understand why they wouldn’t just let me switch the night ( obviously like for like, so not a weekend) as I had not even got the key and entered the room! Not how I would treat my customers this much I know!

We enjoyed our stay at Holly Hill Inn, the room was quiet, clean and comfortable. The view from our room was nice as we could see horses in the field and an overview of Richmond.
The owner was very friendly. It is a in a good position to visit Richmond - a 10 to 15 minute walk downhill and obviously uphill on the way back!

There was a slight problem regarding breakfast as we had booked our stay including breakfast. We assumed this would be a traditional cooked one, however on arrival we were informed that we had to pay more if we wanted a cooked breakfast. This should be made clearer on the booking site, especially as the reviews mention the \"cooked to order\" food.

Good experience marred by a few things

The Holly Inn is a beautiful place. Atmosphère and staff friendly and helpful… phone first if you need to eat !
Room was clean beds ok and sheets although pillow had a blood stain( droplet on it)
Although I paid for better room was given a cheaper one upstairs. Here the room smelt of fried cooking and bathroom whilst clean was old and mouldy in the corners .. water from shower good. I would stay in this room again at the cheaper rate. Not full . Lovely garden for dog and our furry friends welcomed by all . Breakfast good although my bacon was inedible as hard. I think it’s worth noting ownership has changed in last month or so which may have an influence , could be so much better it has the makings of……

Dreadful service & misleading details

Booked for bed & breakfast with normal property details on hotels.com. Had cancellation to 24 hours before. On arrival, I was told by staff that the kitchen had been totally removed for ‘maintenance’ purposes so there was no food available & breakfast would cereal only. I stated I wouldn’t be getting the service I expected so she went for her manager. When I asked why I hadn’t been informed of the this prior to my cancellation period expiring, I was told the kitchen issue was an ‘emergency that day’ & therefore unforeseen. I just don’t believe this because how were they able to identify a fault, get tradesmen in & totally strip out a kitchen in one day? Also, if the fault related to plumbing, why take out the kitchen cupboards & carpentry? This is only done when re-fitting a kitchen & this type of work should be communicated to booked guests. I was told this shouldn’t be an issue as my breakfast was ‘free’ The price was advertised as bed & full breakfast which now wasn’t available but they also told me breakfast isn’t served before 9am which isn’t advertised anywhere on their property details. I started work at 8.30am so I would never book a room with breakfast after 9am so this was misleading but she stated ‘I should have called ahead to ask’ Why would anyone think do this when a vast majority of hotels serve breakfast before this time? As a final insult, they refused a refund because the cancellation period had expired. Hotels.com were also totally ineffective in helping me

This is very conveniently situated close to Richmond. It does require a hill climb though either side of the river.
Welcome very good, shown to my room and provisions of Milk and Water checked. Coffee wasn't replaced on the second day though and No Housekeeping done to the room, which wasn't too good.
Shower OK, but there wasn't really anywhere to put Shampoo and Shower Gel, which made things a bit awkward and no hairdryer in the room.
Bar area very good and drinks good quality. Full English Breakfast excellent, but my own personal preference is to have coffee at the end not at the beginning as it was cold by the end of Breakfast.
I would say overall my experience was good, but there is room for improvement.

Disappointing Stay

The room we were given was nice, however the mattress was soft and dipping and you could feel the springs. It definitely needs replacing. There was a pair of black thick used tights left next to the bin in the bedroom. There were no cereals, fruit, yoghurt etc. put out or offered at breakfast you had a jug of orange juice on the table. During all my stays in hotels, guest houses and there have been plenty, there has always been cereals etc. You were offered a cooked breakfast. This came with two halves of toast with a pat of wrapped butter on each piece which had melted so you didn’t have to use a knife to butter your toast you just poured it on and your hands were full of melted butter. There were no side plates to put the butter wrapper on. The mugs of coffee were given to us on a not very clean tray. We were disappointed with this stay as the reviews for this hotel were good. However rumour has it that it has just recently changed hands. We saw a welcoming sign with the names of the previous owners placed in a bin outside.

Whilst the room was a good size and clean, unfortunately the en-suite shower didn't work. At best there was a tiny, scorching hot dribble which you could barely wash soap off with. Although after about 2 mins, that stopped completely and I ended up having to wash myself and rinse my hair with a mug filled up from the sink. I mentioned this to a couple in breakfast who said they'd had the same experience.

I raised it with the owner on reception, who was extremely rude. Apparently the accommodation is very good value for the local area, which seemingly excuses having an en-suite which doesn't work. And in the same breath, she then told me that they'd had problems with all the bedroom bathrooms and had a plumber out recently.

My advice? Save your money, please! Go choose one of the other lovely B&Bs that are all around Richmond - don't waste it here.
