This is a relaxed small hotel - a bit like a guest house / hotel with good dining and bar for locals. Sawley is very convenient for Fountains Abbey but isolated - a car is essential. The Spanish chef was very good, as was the room andvthe staff attentive

Best night’s sleep in a long time!
Modern, spotlessly clean accommodation and super- comfy beds! There was even a TV in the bathroom! Lovely country pub and beer garden. Restaurant a bit on the expensive side, but the quality and presentation of the food was really good. The take away fish and chips were half the price of the eat in and were delicious. Would definitely stay here again without hesitation.

Lovely place to stay and all the staff are so helpful and friendly. A little too much noise between the guest rooms and the window blinds could be improved but otherwise a perfect place to stay while enjoying the beautiful surroundings near Ripon.

We had a great one night stay. The room was clean, very modern and with high quality finish. Our daughter loved the high sleeper bed which was very safe. Convenient location for Brimham Rocks and Fountains Abbey. Plenty of parking onsite. We had a great dinner in the pub and our breakfast was delicious too. Friendly staff, would definitely stay again.

The room was great with nice bunk beds and Screens. However, we could not sit in the lower level bunk beds because of the upper bed and there was no place to sit. Otherwise, it is a great place to stay.

Country gem.
This is a wonderful little country pub and hotel. The staff were super friendly, it’s spotlessly clean and we had the best breakfast ever. We’ll definately be back.

Excellent break
We had a 2 night stay, the staff, service and accommodation were to a very high standard. Everyone was very welcoming. The accommodation was spotlessly clean and tidy and very comfortable. Loved the lighting in the room. Also the bar/restaurant service was very good and the food was excellent We would recommend this hotel and will definitely return there.

We had a lovely one night stay. Sure, the walls are a bit thin but it really didn't bother us. It's the food that gets the rave reviews. You know when your eyes water with satisfaction and contentment....that!

Tanya, Estelle, Tim and the Scouse supporter were so friendly and helpful. The accommodation was immaculately clean and well maintained. Food was lovely and reasonably priced. We definitely plan to revisit soon. The only improvement I would suggest is to have ironing facilities in the room for guest”s convenience. Thanks to all for such a great stay!

Amazing!!!
Stayed for 2 nights over the bank holiday. Cannot say enough positive things about this place, we were a family of 4 and the rooms were perfect. The staff, especially Estelle ( I think this was her name) literally could not do enough for you. Dinner and breakfast were fantastic and the overall cleanliness of the place was the best I’ve ever seen. Great place in a great location with amazing staff

Sunday stay in Sawley
I love this pub, the food is great and the rooms are lovely and so modern. We stayed to be near work which was great. It was quiet, but it was a Sunday evening. I think some training is needed with the young staff - no need to say help yourself to wine I’m no sommelier! The man with his father was very helpful and friendly.

Potential- room for improvement.
Stayed for five nights in an excellent room - first rate facilities, esp bathroom. Slight criticism: bed linen and towels unappealing colour and towels rather thin. Pub warm and comfortable, very friendly, staff helpful, excellent breakfasts. Dined in twice. Appreciated the special offer on steak night but winter menu otherwise rather dull, limited and overpriced. Over all an enjoyable stay but not outstanding value for money.

Everything was nice, clean and modern. Lovely staffs 10/10. Only issuse I didn't like was that the Bunkbed Room had no kettle and space at all felt very confined, especially for the kids, but they did play around the back which had a lovely green grass garden which made up for the none space room. Thanks Tracy.
