It was fine for an overnight stop well stocked bar, breakfast a bit pricey if you do not take advantage of the full buffet, we had an evening meal that was fair.
Our room 14 was right at the top of the building and not best access for a couple in their seventies very winding steep stairs, but we do appreciate it is a very old building. We also had a very strong smell in the bathroom and had to leave the fan on to keep it at bay.
Staff were friendly and helpful

A lovely stay in this beautiful old pub/hotel. Perfect location for bars and restaurants. Staff very warm and friendly.

I had the single room for a one night stay visiting my son at Catterick. The room was spotless. Very comfortable single bed, gorgeous bathroom with products and well stocked tea and coffee (very important and usually lacking in hotel rooms!). Don’t forget an eye mask if you are a sensitive sleeper though as there’s a small green flashing light on the ceiling!

The staff were very welcoming and made me feel at ease as a lone traveler.

My room location was less than ideal at the very top of what seemed to be a never ending staircase, however the room itself was very nice, albeit a smell in the bathroom which smelt of drainage. It was however clean and spacious.

The breakfast and evening meal were great and again all staff lovely and helpful.

What a great place this is, full of character warm and friendly atmosphere and the staff were great. It was always busy with people eating and the food we had on both evening's was very good and the waiting staff excellent, we had breakfast both morning's which again was very good the only down side was there was no fresh fruit available in the breakfast room ( we didn't inquire if this was an option though ) the pub is ideally located for everything and there is parking available but on a first come first served basis although there is plenty of parking elsewhere. All in all we had a great stay and will be back next time we visit Richmond, we would definitely recommend the black lion as a great place to stay for sure.

A great last minute overnight trip here. The room was lovely, quaint and cosy. We ate dinner in the pub and cannot fault the food. I had lasagne and my husband had gammon. Breakfast was great. Cereal, toast, juice and hot drinks available to help yourself to and then order hot food. I had eggs bennedict and my husband had a full English. Great value for money and would definitely recommend!

Invest in your bedrooms

Lovely, friendly and helpful staff and great bar area. Unfortunately the rooms and lack of investment let the place down.
Comfy bed and clean sheets but that’s as far is it goes.
Broken toilet, dirty bath, kettle had old water in and hallways and carpets really dirty.
Unfortunately the place isn’t what it used to be, and really needs some upgrading to the rooms. Definitely didn’t warrant the price we paid, and we’ve been coming many years.
Also breakfast a huge let down compared to how it was. A start would be to sort the toaster out!!

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!

Very disappointing.

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 .

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!

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.

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

Good area and the pub looked nice when I booked,hardly any parking,slow disjointed service overall especially checking in and evening meal ordering (breakfast was a lot better)

Rooms are very dated and not in a very good condition my room was on a slight slant and next to the high street,was woken up at 6am with the shops outside receiving deliveries then the obvious noise from staying above a pub you hear every noise.

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

Decent stayover

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.

Very comfortable bed but breakfast poor

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.

Perfect for Young Families

We had a fabulous stay! There are a few parking places on site but there was always space available throughout our stay. We had an amazing family room (although flat is a better fit which had two bedrooms, a hallway and a bathroom included). A travel cot was available for our one year old and was assembled in our room prior to our arrival. Beds were really comfy and we all slept like logs (including my little one which is a rarity)! Even though breakfast service did open 10 minutes after the time we had booked, the food was exceptional! However, the highlight of the Black Lion is the staff: everyone you spoke to went above and beyond and clearly cared about the guests and the hotel itself. We were treated like royalty and felt rested and recharged after our visit here. Full credit to all staff. We will definitely be back and recommend the Black Lion unreservedly!

The Black Lion is in a great location for seeing Richmond, just off the market square. The staff were welcoming and friendly. Locals come here to eat in the evening and for lunch. Breakfast was really good. There is on-site parking, but also lots of places nearby to park. It's just a short walk to the very impressive Castle and all the shops are just around the corner. A great place to use as a base for seeing the Dales and County Durham.

This is an old inn that has been extended considerably and is now a complete rabbit warren, with no elevator. Our room was the last available when booked, and turned out to be on the 3rd floor up a particularly steep staircase for the last floor - not suitable for everybody. Room was okay, and fire exits well designed (just as well 'cos there was a false alarm at 4.00 in the morning....) It is well located in the middle of Richmond, and the staff and food were very good.

Plus and minus in Richmond

In general all good. A nice room with good breakfast. My wife and I had dinner once - my meal was very average and service was on the slow side. My wife ( A Yorkshire girl) commented on our stay with \"it could have been a little more friendly\" and we both thought the rear of the hotel needs tidying up. Very central location though and the parking is free.

Accommodation was clean and tidy beds comfortable. We had a meal in the restaurant on the evening wide range of delicious food, and breakfast in the morning very substantial. Choice of cerise’s toast and cooked.

I would say parking is a bit awkward car park is small and manoeuvring round was tricky, but staff do offer free parking cards till a space is available.

I would highly recommend a stay here very central to the bars a must enjoy stay thank you
