The way we were greeted and put at ease from the start. This pub/hotel reminded me of how country pubs used to be. The whole community support this pub and its busy every night and the locals are great as they make you welcome The food served here is some of the best we have eaten and the chef cooks it exactly as you want. The portions are perfect and always hot. The deserts are amazing. We are recommending this hotel and are telling our friends about it. Thanks guys.

    A quiet retreat on the edge of Ripon, beautifully and interestingly decorated, very clean, and well equipped within easy reach of the Yorkshire Dales and the North York moors. Our hosts were friendly and very helpful. We stayed for a long weekend and would definitely stay again.

    Everything was perfect, exactly what we needed! Beautiful home with stunning views all round. Lovely short walk into the town centre and a great location within the Dales. The hosts were kind enough to supply us with a cot for our little one and we also made use of the high chair which really came in handy for the weekend. In particular our crazy cocker spaniel had the time of his life doing zoomies around the huge garden! Lovely hosts, thank you would love to stay again.

    Jo was an amazing host and made sure to check in with us via text and make sure everything was ok. We got a late check out free which was so appreciated. The location is perfect. Very near to the city centre but lovely and quiet. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen was just what we needed for the couple of nights we were there. Shower is amazing! There's a guide to use everything and there's a Tele with netflix and Freeview. The blinds are great for light control and privacy
