Top Fountains Abbey Hotel Reviews

The Old Deanery

10/10 Excellent

"."

The Inn South Stainley

8/10 Good

"Accommodation was great, especially with a dog. Breakfast was great too and I barely needed lunch as I was so full. Only disappointment was evening meal which was pretty average. For example pizza base was hard and cheese was chewy and tasteless. Shame as staff were great. For dog owners a fridge would be helpful too"

The Chequers Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Great find near to local places. Lovely staff. Excellent food. Lovely clean, modern and comfortable room. Would definitely stay again."

The Ripon Inn - The Inn Collection Group

10/10 Excellent

"Staff very helpful,room clean and tidy breakfast good selection,parking is a bit tight to get a space when busy"

Cottage in Grantley Near Fountains Abbey

8/10 Good

"Very good and clean property, something missing from the description it is directly on the main road in to the village which generated a significant amount of road noise and especially large agricultural vehicles from 5am, SO not great sleep being woken by this each morning. The photograph of the outdoor area is actually a balcony so despite the property accepting pets there is no outside space for them"

Church Farm Annex

10/10 Excellent

"Anne, out host, had thought of just about everything and a bit more. The annex is compact with a friendly feel to it and all equipment is excellent quality. Anne’s efforts to welcome us with necessities went beyond expectations and our stay was without hitches of any kind. Brilliant!"

Swallow Cottage

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay, just outside of Ripon. The host was friendly and helpful. The cottage had everything we needed and more. Will be staying there again!"

OYO The White Horse, Ripon North Yorkshire

8/10 Good

"All staff excellent- parking and pet friendly. Thai kitchen located in the restaurant area of pub excellent. "

Lake Farm Cottage

10/10 Excellent

"The cottage was beautiful, very clean with everything we needed. It was so peaceful! Hot tub was brilliant, so relaxing first thing in the morning watching the sunrise. Hosts were fantastic, great communication and really helpful. There were so many lovely places to visit in the surrounding area. Our favourites were Pately Bridge, Brimham Rocks and Stump Cross Caverns. We would definitely stay here again and will be recommending it to everyone!"
