Excellent hotel, have stayed numerous times when I don’t want to be in central London. Short stroll to the station and into London quickly, and then back to tranquility and a lovely hotel afterwards. Lovely views of the river.

This is just the best…..
This was the most fantastic stay. The Petersham is a hidden gem. Easily my favorite hotel in greater London. The staff are professional, friendly and very accommodating. The hotel has a rich history and a fantastic location. I cannot speak more highly, book it and go, and enjoy understated luxury.

Lovely place to stay if you're simply looking to stay somewhere that's quiet, where you're able to spend loads of time meditating and being still, or one with nature ♡ Beautiful interior, very classy and old school.

Richmond Heaven
The hotel was well situated - up a private road and on the river. The balcony view from the bar area was. beautiful. I was in a standard room, but it was a decent size with a bath - something I was relieved about. The staff were all very friendly and helped with storing my stuff after checkout before going to the airport. I would stay there again in a heartbeat.

Good hotel, clean and free parking is a bonus, would be great if they had refillable shampoo/shower gels to be more sustainable than the disposable mini bottles.

Lovely location and view. Breakfast was lovely. Only issue is that many of the bedroom have showers in bath, which is something I don’t like.

Just a shame they don’t take Amex.
Simply means I can’t return as my company only use Amex for business trips and I visit Richmond quite often.

Rooms were very comfortable and food was excellent. Breakfast was super tasty and parking was plenty.
Staff exceptionally friendly and accommodating.
One thing they need to install is air conditioning in the rooms - it was not yet peak summer and the rooms were already over-heating.
Thanks for the great stay and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to others. The views the hotel has over the estate and river are also unmatched - great for special events.
