Black Lion Hotel Richmond North Yorkshire

Very friendly staff, food was great, room very comfortable. Very dog friendly. We were just stopping over for one night on our trip, just the two of us and our little dog.

What a beautiful, historic hotel and Pub. Our stay was only for one night, but we had an exceptional visit and the Hotel was very clean, our room was beautifully decorated the bed was so comfortable even with the Pub below us we heard nothing . You thought of everything from the tea kettle, teas, biscuits, breakfast in am which we sadly had to miss due to our early departure. The food in the pub was exceptional! Sophie the young lady who sang last night in the pub had such a soulful, beautiful voice she sounded just like Amy Winehouse. The Staff was so accommodating. We especially loved the dog friendly city and seeing the many dogs in the pub.. Which we were giving lots of belly rubs to many of them.. we just couldn’t resist. As we had left our three at home.. and miss them terribly. Your town is enchanting! With the beautiful cobblestone roads, historic buildings, old architecture. We came to see your Artist Mackenzie Thorpe whom I absolutely love and have several of his beautiful pieces of Art. The gallery was just beautiful and finally was able to personally meet Mackenzie and his lovely staff. Hubby loved your historic Military Museum and Castle. The lovely boutiques and other wonderful lil restaurants looked like wonderful places to try had our stay been longer we would have definitely tried. Beautiful city and beautiful people ❤️‼️

Staff were super friendly and helpful, the food was amazing, and the atmosphere in the pub was warm and relaxing.

The location is perfect, 30 seconds walk from the bustling market square and a great base for exploring Swaledale and Wensleydale. The breakfast was delicious and there were a variety of options. Our cockapoo, Jackson, particularly enjoyed the sausages the chef cooked for him each morning! The bar is very welcoming and extremely dog-friendly. We struck up several conversations built out of initial compliments of other people’s dogs! We ate in the hotel each night; there is a lot of choice, the set menu is great value and the food is excellent. There is also a good range of drinks with excellent local ales on tap. Would definitely stay here again if visiting Richmond.

Great location. One minute walk to the main square with loads of restaurants, shops and pubs. Market on Saturday morning was a bonus. Free parking, just a bit tight. Lovely brekky with lots of choice set in a really nice room. Tea/Coffee facilities in room had lots of choice. Staff friendly and helpful. Quality bedding and pillows. Good TV package. Lunch at pub decent.
