Guests say

Frenchgate Mews is a well-received cottage in Richmond, praised for its stylish decor, comfortable furnishings, and excellent location. Guests appreciate the proximity to local attractions, the thoughtful welcome pack, and the property's cleanliness. The accommodation's upside-down layout and the ease of parking are also noted positively.

Most guests found the property clean and well-presented. One review mentioned that cleaning could have been better, but this seems to be an isolated comment rather than a common concern.

The location is highly praised for being central, convenient, and within walking distance to Richmond's market place, shops, and restaurants. The ease of parking and proximity to local attractions contribute to the high score.

Guests consistently mention the comfortable beds, lovely decor, and cosy atmosphere. The property is described as a 'home from home' with a 'lovely pillow' for a perfect night's sleep.

The property is well-equipped, with mentions of a well-appointed kitchen, smart TVs, and good WiFi. Some guests suggested the addition of more mugs and plates, and one noted a dirty dishwasher filter, indicating room for improvement in maintenance.

The welcome pack is frequently mentioned and appreciated by guests, adding a touch of thoughtfulness to their stay. However, it should be noted that such gestures are a bonus and not guaranteed.
