About 66 Frenchgate
66 Frenchgate is a family-run guest house on the lower part of Frenchgate, rated 4-star plus by both the AA and Visit Britain, and known locally for having what many guests consider the best view in Richmond. Its breakfast conservatory looks out over Richmond Castle, Easby Abbey and the River Swale, a genuinely panoramic outlook rarely matched by accommodation this close to the town centre.
The house offers eight bedrooms of varying sizes, each en-suite with free wi-fi, tea and coffee facilities and a 32-inch television, and free parking is available on Frenchgate itself, a genuine advantage in a town where parking can be tight. Hosts Mick and Rachel are frequently mentioned by returning guests for their warmth and local knowledge.
A five-minute walk from the Georgian Market Place, the guest house suits visitors who want to be close to the castle and theatre while still having a quiet, largely residential street to return to in the evenings, with the view from the breakfast room a strong enough draw on its own.

What guests say
A lovely place where we stayed overnight on our coast-to-coast walk. A great view and good service. The rooms are very beautiful and clean. Definitely recommended for everyone. We had to leave earlier due to a long day of walking, and the hostess and host were very accommodating so that we could have breakfast earlier.

Fantastic place, only a few minutes away from the centre of town. Rachel and Mick are perfect hosts. Would definitely stay here again and highly recommend anyone coming to Richmond to book Frenchgate Guest House 👍

After arriving soaked from our hike, Mick and Rachel greeted us warmly, drying our boots and showing us to our room. It was at the rear of the building with a magnificent view over Richmond. The room was superb and their additional touches ( welcome chocolate) show how much they care about their guests. The view from the breakfast room is wonderful, as was the breakfast and packed lunch they prepared. Thanks R + M for all your extra efforts.

What started off as ‘just a place to stay’ is now somewhere we look forward to returning as often as possible. When a friend moved to a pub in the local area (The Shin Inn) we wanted to visit. A room at 66 Frenchgate was booked for us with an assurance it would be lovely. This was a complete understatement. Mick and Rachel are the most friendly, down to earth, helpful and general nicest set of B&B owners we have ever come across. Being a young couple, we wondered if they would worry about how we would be as guests returning from an afternoon/ evening of drinking, this has never been the case. Even when a large group of us stayed for a birthday, they could not have been more accommodating to all 9 guests staying that particular time. Initially we planned to visit the friend in his pub, explore the area, wondering how many times we would make the 2 hour journey. We have completely fallen in love with Richmond, and within a space of 18 months have visited approximately 5 times. Mick and Rachel have contributed massively to our love of Richmond through their kindness, generosity and warm welcome. See you next time! The kids x
