Frenchgate Mews is a well-received cottage in Richmond, praised for its stylish decor, comfort, and prime location. Guests appreciate the easy access to local attractions and the thoughtful touches, including a welcome pack. The property boasts cosy and well-equipped living spaces, with some guests highlighting the convenience of parking and the quality of the bedding and towels.
Most guests found the property clean and well-presented. However, one review mentioned that cleaning could have been better, but this seems to be an isolated incident that was addressed with the owner.
The location is highly praised for its convenience to the town centre, shops, restaurants, and local attractions. Guests enjoyed the proximity to the market square and river walks, with easy parking noted by several reviewers.
The comfort of the cottage is frequently mentioned, with guests noting the comfy bed, lovely pillow, and quiet location. The upside-down accommodation was not an issue, and the living area provided pleasant views.
The property is described as well-equipped, with a good-sized ensuite, well-appointed kitchen, and smart TVs. One guest suggested an increase in mugs and plates, and another cleaned the dishwasher filter, indicating minor maintenance could improve.

Lovely cottage in a historic neighbourhood. Easy parking in the street on weekdays, but more difficult on the weekend. Lovely walks right from the doorstep. Cleaning should have been better, which I have already discussed with the owner. Thanks for the welcome pack!

Definitely had the wow factor as we walked inside. Perfect for our needs. Bed was comfy. Ensuite good size. Had a lovely bath, a treat as we no longer have one at home. Didnt use the kitchen much as we ate out most of the time. But was well equipped. Found parking wasn't a problem if we returned after 3pm. Can be busy at other times. Highly recommend.
