It’s been 14 years since I first came to Richmond – finally spent two nights staying here. Hollyhock Cottage fulfilled my every expectation. I left the car in the driveway and enjoyed the cottage and everything Richmond has to offer. I appreciate all the little touches and the cottage garden is beautiful too. Thankyou.

We have had the most lovely and relaxing holiday here – hardly used the hire car. We were just content to sit and read and enjoy this beautiful cottage and Richmond with its sweet quaintness. We have every intention of coming back.
