It was in a quiet location. I asked 3 times before I received an invoice. I spoke to a staff member about the fact the toilet didn’t flush properly which wasn’t fixed and meant I only dared wee in it! Both the cold and hot tap had boiling water coming out of them. I only drink tap water so I asked for bottled water (which I was given) I also bought more. It was very dark I the corner where the closest and kettle was. I meant I had to use the torch on my phone to make a coffee. The bed was very soft and as a result my back hurt every morning. Finally, the room had a smart TV but no internet connection.

It was little more than a pub. No food. Small room. Remote from main building. FAR TOO expensive considering that food had to be bought as extra in the town. The price taken at £301. was more than had been quoted on booking.

Was advertised for Breakfast and it was cancelled. Had a fan noise keeping me up for the first night of stay. ASked about breakfast and was asked to get a partial refund and was offered £5 for 2 people over 2 nights. So, cost us £40 extra and we got £5 when we asked for a refund. we paid over 200 for 2 nights. other hotels are better in that area.

No breakfast (apparently the chef had died), no hot water from the tap in the bathroom, too few parking spaces, the teaspoon in the room looked like someone had eaten a boiled egg with it and hadn't washed it -- but it was cheap, so I guess I shouldn't complain.

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.

Dissapointing stay
On arrival we thought it would be a good place to stay as the courtyard was nice with pretty potted plants that looked well cared for and secure gates but as soon as we opened the door it was very suddenly apparent it wasnt. The room stank of cigarette smoke and overall appearance was shabby. We had to keep the windows open for the entirety of the stay to try and get rid of the smell as it was quite overwhelming at first. The overall cleanliness of the room also left little to be desired. We looked in the bathroom and was shocked to find it filthy. The toilet was absolutely disgusting with fecal matter in the bowl of the toilet and on the seat. We mentioned this to staff and it was partially cleaned (toilet not shower) but we should not have been given the keys in the state the room was in. Very dissapointed with the stay as previous reviews are good but our experience was far from that. We actually ended up leaving at 7am and showered at our family's home as the shower was still not clean despite the request and we did not feel happy staying any longer than we had to or using the facilities provided. We won't be returning which is a shame as we have family in the area and visit regularly and the property was very convenient to where we wanted to be. We also won't recommend to others. We feel the room was very overpriced for the standard we received.

Don’t bother
We arrived to a very pleasant lady. The room was a twin. On entering the room it was cold and the heating wasn’t on. I asked the lady at the bar and she flicked a switch and said it would be okay later. Later the room was cold. The lady said she would find a heater. After her hunting around she said there was a heater in the wardrobe. After reading other reviews I realise that this room is never heated and the heater has permanent residence in the wardrobe. It was late so we accepted the heater. I then found the bathroom door didn’t close and the floor was dirty and cobwebs in the corner ( also previously reported in reviews) I asked to change room the following morning which was met with a begrudging ‘yes later’ .. later we returned to find our belongings had been packed up and dumped in the stairwell. Not happy I asked the manager about this. He failed to show any hospitality or management skills and blamed the housekeeper. His attitude and inability to accept the faults resulted in a refund and us leaving. Kitchen cleaning supplies were also storages above the breakfast service hatch. Thank you to the lady who checked us in though, she was very nice and helpful with the heater issue. I hope the hotel addresses the issues reported and that keep coming up in the reviews.

Great location and staff
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

Comfy bed and hearty cooked to order breakfast
4-night stay in a Stables Court room, slightly separate to the main building. The room (Room 9), which was housed in a square courtyard filled with baskets of flowers, was clean and tidy with the comfiest of beds. Other places provide you with 1 weedy pillow each - not here - I had 6 pillows and cushions all to myself, for a blissful night's sleep. The White Horse is ideally situated for the pretty city centre, being 5 minutes walk away, but also 10 minutes drive in the other direction and you're into the lush Yorkshire countryside. Parking onsite is a bit of a squeeze, but the quiet streets surrounding the property were freely available and I had no qualms leaving my car there, overnight. Breakfast may appear to be limited compared to other properties, but who needs croissants and endless varieties of exotic fruits. There were boxed cereals, fresh orange juice, tea/coffee, toast and the heartiest of cooked-to-order English breakfasts. Again, the golden touch was there - Other properties give you one butter sachet, and you have to carefully divide that over 4 slices of toast. Not here - a bowl full of butter portions, so I could lather the toast to my heart's content. All in all, I had a cracking little stay, and will definitely use The White Horse again, if I'm in the area, and you should too.
