About Black Lion Hotel
Black Lion Hotel occupies a period building on Finkle Street in the heart of Richmond, the kind of solid, traditional inn that has long served travellers passing through this part of North Yorkshire. It offers 14 rooms, a manageable size that keeps things personal rather than corporate, and the building's character comes through in its bar and restaurant rather than in the bedrooms themselves.
Guests get a restaurant and bar on site, breakfast included, free WiFi, and drinks available in the room. There's a garden for quieter moments, meeting rooms for those combining business with a stay, and luggage storage for early arrivals or late departures. Pets are welcome, and free on-site parking is a genuine convenience in a town centre where space can be tight.
Richmond Castle is close by, and the wider Yorkshire Dales are within easy reach for walking or driving days out. It suits visitors who want a straightforward, well-placed base in town rather than a destination hotel in its own right.
