Excellent location and facilities, peaceful and quiet, yet a short enough drive from Richmond town centre. Stunning views across the countryside from the large front window, and just everything was spot on. Slight glitch early on with the lights going off was fixed very quickly. Great communication with the owner, who was lovely to deal with. Hot tub was awesome, and it was a very relaxing, peaceful break. Highly recommend
