Staff were friendly and check in was good, the room was ok for one night, I think the thermostat on the shower is broken as it was either burning my skin off or freezing cold
Great parking good courtyard, nice bit for dogs easy walk to centre

Spacious room and bathroom (located in converted stables behind the pub) with TV and plentiful tea/coffee supplies. Wifi connection a bit limited in the room, but excellent in the pub itself. Friendly staff.
Solo trip with the dog. Very friendly easy check in and cute accommodation in an old stable yard.
When I was shown the room the main light didn't work but I said it didn't matter as the bedside and bathroom lights were fine.
Very convenient with the dog to nip out for a quick pee rather than walking through a hotel.
Car park small but parked ok and felt safe.
I left early for and no one was around yo check out so ended up leaving door unlocked and key inside.
Good value for money.
Super service price good local to town with parking 👍

Was Ok for a night
Room was tiny, bathroom door would not close without a huge shove.
The room smelt damp on each entry.
The cups were stained and the shelf they were on was very stained
The people were friendly enough, the bed was comfortable and the night quiet.
There was no food at all on offer which is not clear in booking information.
It was ok for a night but wouldn't want to stay longer and probably wouldn’t stay there again.
Friendly staff always approachable and with good local knowledge

It is perfectly located for the centre of Ripon and the lady checking us in was lovely. The room itself felt and smelt damp, the beds were not very comfortable and we couldn’t cover the window to make it dark which was an issue when getting our 1 year old to sleep. All that being said we would definitely stay there again because it made visiting Ripon on a tight budget possible and if we hadn’t had our daughter with us none of the above would have been an issue.
Great location. Good value, good staff. Warm welcome. Stayed in the stables, room recently decorated, just needed finishing touches.

The hotel was in a good position for Ripon’s attractions ie the cathedral and the old
town with its cafes and eating facilities. The rooms were fresh looking and away from the pub in a separate stable block and were self contained but as the property had just been taken over and the pub itself was being refurbished I can’t comment on the food etc .

No breakfast as advertized on hotels.com. manager daid this problem has been in place for a year. Yep, thats a long while for people to be mis-sold. Manager blamed head office and the agent. Said we needed to pay full.price and then claim back lack of a free breakfast. My advice. Dont book hete simply stay elsewhere. Plus the room had three air fresheners in it and they could not mask the bad drain smell. Shame, as the bed was comfortable and ripon has a lot of charactor

Friendly Staff
The staff were friendly on arrival and swift checking in. Due to closure of the kitchen, no food was available so had to seek further options... was not aware of this upon booking. The room was clean and comfortable with all facilities as stated, although the remote was missing for the TV so had to figure out how to switch it on and change channel. Parking is limited so had to park on the street.
Service was great, the person who checked us in was lovely but this accommodation needs a refurb. It also needs a good clean! The toilet facilities was horrendous - SO noisy we were woken up 2 in the night, and the bathroom stunk of sewage. I would not stay here again.
Great location and super friendly staff. Excellent breakfast- never been offered a choice of smoked or unsmoked bacon before.
Bit noisy in the pub into the early hours but at least we were on the top floor so didn’t disturb too much, plus never known such a noisy toilet - electric I think.
Overall would recommend

One night stay in May 2024.
The White Horse is a pub no more than 5 minutes walk from the centre of Ripon and the cathedral.
The rooms are converted stables at the back of the pub. The decor is basic and a little tired but if you’re going to book somewhere like this then you mustn’t expect opulence.
The staff were friendly and helpful and I would certainly stay here again on a return trip to Ripon.

A night on a cold winter day with snow
I stayed just for one night on a cold day with snow.
The owners are very friendly, I enjoyed the evening in their pub.
The room was clean with a narrow window blocked by a blind and felt very claustrophobic. The wifi BT open network in the room worked for an hour the longest, then needed re-setting every hour, it was also unsafe to use.
I waited several minutes for hot water, but could not get even warm water in the sink. The towel rail fell down.
I was glad that booked there only for one night.
