The accommodation we stayed in were converted stables. The rooms were well appointed, recently decorated and warm (we stayed in winter). The accommodation is annexed to the hotel. The hotel is the epitome of a country pub with traditional pub fair, eight ball and friendly locals in their seats at the bar. Not a refined experience but everything we were after, we were comfortable, fed well and welcomed.

Quirky and comfy

I was pleasantly surprised by this place. I was not expecting much but the room was a really good size with a dining table and 2 seater couch. I loved the unusual angular shape of the ceiling and the “window to the sky” was a cool idea. The bed was very comfortable and location was great, in the main st Richmond. We had the private ensuite room and it was up a few stairs so I was glad we did not have too much luggage! The attached bistro had good meals and was a popular spot.

Go back to 1893

If you were riding your horse all day in 1893 and needed a bed for the night then the Richmond Arms would be perfect. Just basic rooms with squeaky beds and squeaky floors. Highlight was the shared shower rooms with excellent water pressure. Food in restaurant was great pub grub. Staff very pleasant.

Avoid this place

One of the worst hotels I've ever stayed in. The carpet was filthy, the room had 4 chairs but no tea/coffee facilities or fridge. The staff gave me no information. When I went down at 8.40pm to request the WiFi password, I promptly discovered every door was locked and I was trapped inside! Miserable night - no food, no internet and left as early as I could! Shower was good though.

An attractively renovated space above the stables, but it had been closed up and was very hot and stuffy when we checked in.

After a couple of hours of windows open it was a comfortable night.

Initially ignored at the bar, then a lovely staff member helped us check in. Never saw a staff member or cleaner after that. Double bed was small, but the linen was clean but mattress very old. Zero airflow so tried to open a window and found more spiderwebs than Charlotte’s web. Blinds were filthy and didn’t work. Taps are not secured in the shower, but it has a lovely view across the mountains when you open the window slats. Bathroom had no light globe. The shower room had a bunch of insects stuck to the ceiling. Carpets were dirty and dusty and the floor creaked more than aunt Ethel‘s hips from 1825. Stairwells are thin and very steep to carry bags up. Great location, right in the middle of the town and good parking. You do get what you pay for, but with some regular cleaning this would’ve been a much better stay for my sinuses.

Comfortable one night stay overall apart from a noisy compressor at the back of the hotel which ran intermittently during the day & night. Stayed upstairs in the Stables. Kept the windows shut to muffle the sound & aircon on to cool the room. Some folks may find the noise too irritating & some may sleep through it. Otherwuse a comfy pleasant stay.

Shared bathrooms were NEVER cleaned in three days.
