Comfortable short stay

We stayed at the the Richmond Hill as a base to go to Wimbledon, but it's worth staying just to explore the local area anyway. Bed was terrific, food was delicious, and we had a really nice time. Thanks to all.

We stayed here for a couple of nights in the summer, when the weather was really hot. No air con but window open and they provided a fan, meant we still slept fine. Decent size rooms, good condition and good size bed. Staff were lovely, would recommend.

A great find with lovely staff!

A really lovely place to stay, plenty of parking on site and all of the staff from arrival, dinner and breakfast were fabulous. The rooms are a good size, comfy bed and plenty of amenities. The food was lovely for both dinner and breakfast. The bathroom was a little tired and the shower temperature a bit temperamental but that is being picky! Highly recommended and I will definitely stay again.
