We haven't B&B's for a time now, and with Castle House Guesthouse we realised what we have been missing. Such great hospitality from the host Nigel who also produces the best \"All English\" breakfast I have ever tasted! If anyone is heading to Richmond then don't miss a stay at Castle House.

We had a top floor room which had very low ceilings (it’s an old building) so my husband was unable to stand up fully! And it was quite a hot day so the room got quite warm. But it had a comfy bed and a nice bathtub. The staff we very helpful and friendly and breakfast filling and delicious!

Castle House B&B is perfectly located right in the centre of Richmond. It is a lovely elegant Georgian property (c1809), full of charm and history with an inviting lounge to meet other guests. The breakfasts are exceptional, catering from light buffet to full English. Our room (Redmire) is probably the smallest (on first floor), but ample enough for a three days stay. Bathroom and carpets could do with a refresh, which have been done to the other rooms (but clean enough not to affect our short stay). Nigel was an excellent host and we would recommend staying here!

Great location right next to the market place, plenty of choice for food and drink.
Nearby parking could be issue gets busy but long stay car park few minutes walk away and well priced.
Everything you need, comfy bed, bathroom suite in keeping with the room however we would prefer an actual proper shower.
Breakfast offering very good would have made it luxury if offering of pastries.
Nigel and other staff are brilliant and welcome drink offered with early room checking which was a bonus for us.

The property is very old and full of character. With that comes as expected, lots of steps/stairs and uneven floors. Our room was a little cramped but pleasant, and the breakfast was lovely.
The location is great - a couple of minutes walk from the castle and river, and right in the quaint town centre.
Parking is limited outside the property but we managed to get the last one.

What a lovely BnB, such character within the whole building as its so old. Parking is just outside if you get a space but dont forget to get a parking disc from the property.
Our stay was just for one night sadly but would defiantly stay again. there is a honesty bar if you dont want to venture out to the local pub across the road.
Breakfast was chosen the night before which we didnt have an issue with, the offerings were excellent including the buffet choice with fruit/cereals and juices etc...before our chosen full English...yummy
Didnt have time to stop and look around Richmond itself but it looked when driving through to be a great place to wander and shop in the cobbled square.

Room was clean. I would not class this B & B as Luxury.
Bathroom sink was cracked. Issue with dripping taps on the bath, difficult to turn off.
Sink hot water tap needed turned sereral times to get a good flow.
As the run was a family room, there was no warnings for the hot water and a child could have scolded themselves as it was so hot.
Heating was very hit and miss althoughh electric heaters were supplied in room.
Couldnt get the large window to shut.

Breakfast snug was cold and drafty.

Sitting room had a fire but never lit. Too cold to sit in.

Host Nigel was very nice and friendly.

Parking an issue, had to move vehicle every 2 hours through the day. That is a general statement for parking in Richmond.

Property is very old. Our room was completely lopsided so wouldn’t be good for someone with mobility issues. Needs a bit of spruce up as the photos don’t show the property’s current condition. Carpets need replacing and flooring in bathroom had cracked tiles. Very quiet though and couldn’t hear the noisy pubs around which were playing loud music with noisy shouting in the gardens. Windows have secondary glazing which kept it quiet. Breakfast was nice but tables close together. Property asked for cash - no reason given but felt odd. Okay for a nights stay or as a base to explore the dales.

We just turned around and left. The host describes this place as LUXURY 😂😂😂😂 in reality it’s the opposite!!!! Do not believe the description on Expedia.
We contacted Expedia who in all fairness reached out to the host to see if we could get a refund but to no avail.
Do yourself a favor and give this one a miss.
Dirty! Old furniture!! Cluttered NOTHING like the pictures on Expedia. We paid for the suite upstairs. You could not have paid me to sleep in that bed.
If you go through the reviews there are only about 4 that give this place a POOR rating, I do not believe all the positive ratings unless all those people live in a cave!!
This place is a disgrace and Expedia should delete it from their selection..
You have been warned!!!!!!!!

Standard at best

We were disappointed by this B&B. Advertised as 'luxury' I booked this for me and my partner as a stopover travelling home from an extended time away due to an unexpected family bereavement. I'd be interested to know how the proprietors consider their B&B to fit the 'luxury' description. The room was tired and dominated by oversized furniture. Bed OK. Bathroom functional. TV in the room was shoehorned into a corner and consequently unwatchable. Not worth what we paid for the room. Breakfast was mediocre. Welcome drink a nice touch.

The property was very clean and room spacious. The bed was terrible, most uncomfortable bed I have ever slept in. Hard and lumpy. It was so bad I had to sleep on the duvet with my sweater on as I was cold. Mattress needs to be replaced

Parking was supposed to be free, we thought there was parking on the property but we had to find a parking spot in town and then ask for a free disc, which need to be changed every 12 hrs

Breakfast was excellent

Staff were immensely helpful and friendly, the cooked to order breakfast was excellent and the check in process easy. It’s a traditional B&B which is good value for money, our room (Wensly) was spacious and traditional, if you want ultra modern then this is not the place for you. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay would go back again and highly recommend to others especially the ideal location for shopping, National heritage, museums and walks.

Disappointed

On arrival we was asked to fill in a form which included our personal information this was left in the hallway as we stepped in the front door.We waited for someone to show us our room, on entry to the room we was offered a welcoming drink, The room wasn't what i expected due to the dust and dirt and old worn-out furniture .Windows with cobwebs and dirty ,Broken blinds, Fire place was covered in dust from the fire which must have been left for weeks due to the weather.
Ornaments filled the walls and all around the room wasn't cleaned completely dusty.
The chairs that sat in the room wasn't safe the legs were nearly off , the cover of the arms had holes in. There is a beautiful bath in the room, but not useful due to no place to put toiletries or towels. Dressing table was in the darker side of the room, no lights too be able to see to do make-up, nor no plugs for hairdryer, i really didn't expect to have to sit on the floor to do the above mentioned. The bathroom, was truly awful for hygiene reasons, who wants to use glasses that are sat on a shelf in line with the toilet.The bed itself was very comfortable and clean linen. Room service wasn't quite what we expected, the welcome drinks glasses were still sat in the room on Monday even though they staff been in the room to place the breakfast menu. No serving was given.Breakfast was good selection. dining room wasn't good, you sat in line alongside the other guests, table and chairs don't fit unless you sit at an angle.

Clean and food lovely

Check in was exactly 4pm and not a minute before, especially if you wanted to get a parking space outside of the place, and you arrived there earlier. Some places we've visited have let us book in slightly earlier. You paid for the accommodation straight away on arrival, instead of when you check out as normal. Bed was comfortable and room was clean, but could have done with a lick of paint, and sofa in room and other bits of furniture were looking well worn. Apart from that, breakfast was lovely, and owner was very accommodating. Brand name toiletries, biscuits, tea/coffee, and an alcoholic drink on arrival.

Great location, feature room, lovely breakfast

Location in centre of Richmond. Stayed in 1st floor Richmond suite which was very spacious, full of character and very comfortable. Minor hiccup no milk provided- soon rectified. The shower handle in this room handle needs repair. Super bath and comfy 4 poster bed. very romantic. TIP: Do not have window open on a weds night as thursday morning the very noisy bin men arrive at 6.45am. Breakfast lovely, although we were a little uncomfortable in the allocated richmond table by the snugs window which was quite squashed. As new visitors to Richmond we were confused with parking in this town. You must use a free 2 hour parking disc available from most shops or the B&B to park near the B&B. If you are arriving early and exploring town i'd advise parking in a pay and display carpark and move car later nearer the B&B. Owners really helped us with our particular needs and we were grateful).

This hotel is an absolute find! It really could not have been better. Exceptionally clean, warm welcome, you feel very 'looked after' by Nigel and his Team but in an unobtrusive way. Little touches like really good quality toiletries and a large bottle of water in the room all come together to make for a 5 star plus stay. Is superbly situated in Richmond Town Centre.

We only stayed one night but was very impressed with everything. We had a good nights sleep and a beautiful breakfast of our choice, we was not rushed and checked out at a reasonable time 10am. We also had an evening stroll around the castle that was practically next door. Plenty of places to eat and If you fancy fish and chips there’s one near by. Lots of history and beautiful scenery. Would recommend and would stay again.
