Host & Stay - Temple Terrace

Location is superb, on the edge of town. Road a bit noisy first thing, but not a problem most of the time. Parking was easy, either on the road outside ( unlimited time ) or using a parking disc then just around the corner for 2 hours or overnight. The house was lovely, tastefully decorated and welcoming. Beds were very comfortable, and the bathrooms were all of a good standard.

Kitchen floor needs attention - vinyl tiles moved and were uneven. A few minor cleaning issues, mainly cobwebs which are often a problem in older properties. The bathroom fan vents both could have done with a good clean. Hand towel would have been good in the ground floor bathroom, and a shortage of glass tumblers in the kitchen. All these minor niggles didn’t spoil our enjoyment of the property.

Great location for walking into Richmond town centre.

Inability to switch the heating up from 15°. House became quite cold when heating switched off. Instruction book no help. Tried calling host emergency number no one available, left a message but did not receive a call back. Would have pursued this further had we been staying longer. Car parking outside house very limited. Only received information about the town car parks on the arrival day. Would have been helpful to have had this in advance.

Really enjoyed our stay here. The cottage was extremely comfortable and stylishly decorated. We liked that the dining room had comfy seating where any of our party could read or play a game while others were watching TV. The kitchen, en-suite and shower room facilities were modern and the beds very comfortable. It’s central location close to the Market Square and amenities was a boon as we were able to leave the car parked for the whole of our stay. The Host & Stay staff (Charlie) was also very helpful and kept us updated with information about the property and what was available to enhance our stay in the area. Would definitely book again.

Lack of a dedicated parking space, but this was a minor inconvenience as Nun's Close car park was within walking distance and the property had a 2 hour parking disc that we used in a nearby street to unload/load our cases.

Excellent location, beautiful house with a magic outdoor area very spacious and log burner was a cosy addition.

Lack of kitchen utensils! A cooked breakfast was a challenge with no spatula etc we did buy one at a local shop for the kitchen , no microwave limited pans and overall poorly equipped kitchen which was such a shame as the house really is lovely and so comfortable We found a dishwasher full of dirty dishes on arrival and overall cutlery crockery just wasn’t clean
