The Buck Inn

This pub is very busy during the evening which shows how popular it is. A full, plentiful breakfast was served each morning. However, the accommodation is tired with ill fitting curtains and a bathroom shower that leaks and black mould on the tiles. It does not warrant 3 stars imo.

Arrived to a friendly welcome, quick check in and upstairs to our room. The room itself was spacious, clean and had the usual tea, coffee with the added bonus of biscuits! The en-suite was spacious but could’ve done with an update. Toiletries were provided. Breakfast was included, small menu but nice choice. You pre order the night before, but if you need to change it in the morning they didn’t mind. Good quality products all freshly cooked and a decent sized full English set us up nicely for our day ahead! The Buck inn is also a pub , so be prepared for some noise. On the whole this was a lovely place to stay in Richmond , walking distance to restaurants and shops. Very reasonable and happy to recommend and will return.

We recently visited this pub for a quiet afternoon out with family. The bartender was welcoming and the beer garden is well-kept. Unfortunately, the visit was overshadowed by an upsetting encounter with another patron. A woman with a grey pixie haircut shouted aggressively at our young daughters, who were quietly playing with some wood chips and stones, pretending to run a little café. They weren’t damaging anything or disturbing anyone—just enjoying harmless, imaginative play. The woman claimed they were “messing with the garden” and spoke in a needlessly hostile and confrontational tone. Her behaviour left both the children and the adults in our group feeling shaken and very unwelcome. It’s incredibly disappointing to see children spoken to this way in any public space. While the staff were kind, this experience left a lasting negative impression. We won’t be returning.

The information on the booking site was very misleading stating parking was included. When we arrived it turned out that parking was by disc parking for two hours then you had to move your car to a paid car park then move it back to outside pub where it is free from 6pm till 8am then put disc back on for two hours. As my husband has difficulty walking we found the walking back and forward to car park would be too much we decided not to stay. We got a refund for our room but we were very disappointed as we had driven quite a distance and we had wasted money on petrol and our time..

We stayed here for two nights as our start to mini tour of the north of England and Scotland. The room we had was very basic but clean and suited our needs as a base for the time stayed. It is looking a little shabby and could do with redecoration but the hosts were welcoming and the breakfast was good. Parking in Richmond town centre is a disc based scheme that gives two hours free parking (free between 6pm and 8 am). A disc was available at the hotel and there is on street parking outside.

We stayed at the Buck Inn for 4 nights as a base to explore the Yorkshire Dales, it’s a lovely traditional cosy pub. We were in room 6 which was a really good size and had beautiful views from the window. Breakfast was included in the price and was probably the best b&b breakfast we’ve had. The produce is beautiful quality from a local butchers, cooked really well and not greasy like some English breakfasts can be! Paul and Fiona who run the pub were really lovely and friendly, on hand if we needed anything and sharing local recommendations for our stay. We also found when having a drink in the bar in the evening all the locals to be very friendly. I’d highly recommend the Buck Inn as place to stay, it was excellent value for money, I would have been happy to pay more. I would recommend booking with them directly if you do decide to stay. Location was also excellent, just off the main market square, parking is a disc system in Richmond, we found it easier to park in the large Nunns close car park, very reasonable charges, we actually bought a weekly parking pass and it was only £18.
