The Fountains roomhas a lovely sunny patio for breakfasts in the sun. The hosts are keen to make your stay enjoyable. It is a country pub with good food, good beer and a friendly atmosphere. The offer of gluten free food is a welcome addition to a range of quality local food and drink.

We booked a stay because of the great reviews given, we were a little surprised that the place did not live up to them. Were we unlucky? The room was small it looked like a single room with a double bed put in, a single wardrobe and bedside side table. Bathroom was nice and a good size, spotlessly clean?.....well the... More

Both our meals on each visit were really first class and an excellent bottle of wine at a reasonable price. Will certainly be back.

We stayed here for one night with our friends in two rooms. We wanted some accommodation to visit the Ripley Blues club which was reasonable taxi ride away. The accommodation is very good, lovely comfortable clean rooms in a converted barn. Also very impressed with the continental breakfast of cereals, fruit, ham and cheese and bread. Plenty to eat.

My wife and I were just having a short break to see Ripon and the local area.

The local area will need to be visited again to see more and we will not hesitate where we will be... More
