We are finally back in beautiful Richmond and our favourite B & B, 66 Frenchgate Guest House. Having walked the C2C five times so far plus many additional trips to the UK and partial walks, we wouldn't think of staying anywhere else! We seem to run to Richmond to arrive at this beautiful guest house with it 's million dollar... More

Overall this is a good B&B, with very comfortable rooms and a friendly host in Ralph. We were quite happy during our 2 night stay but there were some minor things that could be improved. Although bathroom was clean, minor issues such as dusty towel rack and exhaust fan could be addressed (this sort of thing doesn't bother my boyfriend,... More

We were welcomed warmly and professionally by Ralph throughout our stay and found our room comfortable, attractive and well equipped (including an unexpected bottle of wine and chocolates). The small shower room was more than compensated for by the fantastic view over the Swale and Easby Abbey, which was also a feature of the breakfast room/lounge. A good breakfast and... More

My wife and I have just spent 4 nights at Ralph's B & B and we truly could not fault the service. Ralph is a quiet, inobtrusive and very welcoming person with a great knowledge of the area and its history. He recommended two restaurants to us both of which were excellant. We stayed in room 4 which was very... More

Review written in the context of undertaking Wainwright’s Coast to Coast Walk. Accommodation arranged by Macs Adventures. At the top end of Frenchgate so slightly off the route. Warm welcome and farewell. Breakfast room and lounge combined, with a good view over the river. Comfortable room. Evening meals not done. Host recommended good local facilities. Good breakfast at two big... More

I actually ended up staying here by mistake - there was a bad leak in the B&B I originally booked to stay in. Ralph is quiet and unassuming, but very hospitable. The B&B is tastefully decorated and very clean. I stayed in Room 1, which has the most awesome views over the River Swale and Easby Abbey. A lovely cooked... More

Have stayed at Ralph's place several times now when on business in the area. I have used several hotels and pubs in Ricmond in the recent past, most of which have been fine, but if there's room at the Frenchgate, I prefer to stay in this homely, comfortable Guest House. As mentioned by others, the view from the breakfast room... More

Not the most welcoming host but a decent B&B with amazing views over Richmond. Our room was huge with nice touches such as water and mints - but no shower gel in a £140 room? Breakfast is at communal tables with more limited choices than most.

Warm welcome, comfortable, clean room, good shower, good breakfast, conveniently placed for Richmond town centre attractions. We were visiting the town but I think other guests were walkers and they seemed to be well catered for.
