    WiFi would have been helpful.

    No breakfast as the pub didn't open until later. Room was in a converted stables annexe with en-suite. Clean, if a little dated, with plenty of storage space. Bed comfy. Lovely little courtyard with 8 or so rooms off it and a couple of tables with chairs to sit out. Close to Ripon town centre and parking available on site. Nearby Fountains Abbey and Brimham Rock worth a visit. Staff very helpful and attentive.

    Contactless check in is always preferable. Sat outside for a minute calling the number that booking.com gave me which was wrong. The mobile number on the door could have done with being a bit clearer to say it was to check in for OYO White Horse as we weren't sure if we were at the right door. But it wasn't much bother!

    The stable area with the rooms was nice and a short distance walk into Ripon centre

    I've been communicating with Booking.com all week regarding an issue replating to a future booking but their correspondence is terrible, current OVO booking.com reference 32302568. Their failure to correspond has resulted in me booking elsewhere, I'm now staying in the GranthamArms instead as a result.

    Sam, the manager, was very welcoming, helpful and friendly.

    I liked the location, you still have to drive to places but this in turn didnt affect the stay. The rooms were clean and tidy and to have a holiday with taking the dog was a bonus. Good stay all round.

    Room smelt a bit damp but we put the electric radiator on and it seemed to sort that out. Shower is a very weak.

    Rooms have their own entrance and have everything you need for a night's stay. Bed was quite comfy.

    Couldn’t check in even though we had informed the property of our arrival time. Arrived at 2.30pm but nobody turned up till 3pm to open up. Rang the number on the door several times before getting an answer.

    It was in a good location for Ripon centre. Room was pleasant.

    Our room was quite small ok for me but the toilet was very close to the wall for my husband . No table to put down your cups or if you’re eating. Tables are outside though if weather permitting will be handy

    I liked that our room wasn’t in the main building but one of the rooms in the courtyard which was better than walking up and down stairs through a pub. It was close to the town and the added bonus of free parking

    There was no WiFi in room no.9. (But available in the pub or the outside smoking area). Smell of drains in the room.

    The location, near to amenities. Quietness, comfortable bed. The room was small, but adequate for our two night stay. Pleasant, approachable staff.
