Very central to the area and town, great place to eat and excellent helpful staff.

Scott United Kingdom

The breakfast was great, lots of choices and the flexibility to order just what you'd like. Start with the yogurt, fruit, croissants, juice, cereal table then order from hot food menu items like full Yorkshire Breakfast, Avocado Toast with poached eggs and Smoked Salmon and scrambled eggs. Coffee was excellent. Pub menu had nice choices and we liked all we tried. Great place to stay to visit Fountains Abbey/Studley Royal and Deer Park and for cycling in the wonderful Dales area Nidderdale AONB.

Holly United States of America

Staff couldn’t have been friendlier. Nice pub with a good atmosphere.

Louise United Kingdom

friendly atmosphere, excellent staff, great food and beer 🍻 room was perfect 👌

John United Kingdom

Bed particularly the pillows was excellent . Room was large and quiet

Anonymous United Kingdom

Fantastic location just off the main square, cheap 24hr parking less than 2 mins walk, spacious room traditional furnishings and a fantastic shower (best we've had) lovely friendly staff and a fantastic breakfast to see us on our way. Not to mention a Timothy Taylor pub so win win. Will definitely return when we visit Ripon....

Caroline United Kingdom

Excellent food in the evening and at breakfast. Venison on the second evening even better than Pork belly on the first. Lively restaurant but not noisy. Helpful staff. Quiet at night (due to 10pm rule?).

Graham United Kingdom

Nice clean property, the atmosphere was brilliant and the staff are very attentive. The food the in the bar is delicious and the breakfast was very nice too.

Rebecca United Kingdom

The location was perfect right in the heart of Ripon . The rooms were spotless and the facilities great. The food was top class so much so we booked a couple of evening meals there. Don’t let the no parking put you off a large long stay car park literally at the back of the pub is 2 mins walk away and just £2:50 for 24 hrs

Alison United Kingdom

The food was brilliant. Much better than average pub food. The chef really knows his stuff and presentation and service all great. The room was also well thought out. Good shower and comfy bed and blankets provided on request as well.

Sarah United Kingdom
