Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
The private garden opens directly onto the Thames towpath, placing Richmond Bridge, town centre shops, and Petersham Meadows a short walk away.
The rooms
Signature bedrooms pair soft pastel palettes with mid-century furniture and hand-forged copper soaking tubs overlooking the river lawn.
The spa
Holistic therapies fill bright treatment rooms, alongside yoga in a garden geodesic dome and an outdoor cold plunge.
Dogs stay too.
Riverhouse Restaurant
Chef Vanessa Marx focuses on low-waste British cooking, served in dining rooms lined with bookshelves and French doors.
Drawing Room Bar
Cocktails and plant-based afternoon tea are poured beside a roaring fireplace against dusty pink parlour walls.
How it began

The 1740s Georgian townhouses once hosted Victorian literary salons for W.B. Yeats before the Trinder family transformed them into a boutique stay.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.

The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
