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.

Not good enough, needs a refurb and a clean

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.

Absolutely awful! photos will not upload

Absolutely terrible. I booked this venue on the basis of excellent reviews and I'm either assuming we were given the worst room there or the reviews are fake. Room was filthy, cobwebs over ceiling, filthy bed base, mould spores in shower, dust everywhere and I have taken photos for evidence. The room was absolutely tiny, to the point the phrase big enough to swing a cat is a mockery. I didnt get more than an hours sleep, between the two girls next door giggling and singing until 2am and the extremely poor mattress I got next to no sleep. The walls separating us to other rooms were paper thin, I do appreciate these used to be stables and have been hand made but very poor. The shower door handle came off as I opened it, the smell from the toilet was god awful...I'm guessing I'm not the first to mention as there was an air freshener placed directly next to it on the floor. The TV controller wouldn't work so we had no choice of watching tv, except ITV1. No wi-fi at the property which is a basic these days. I am extremely disappointed and will be seeking a full refund. The bar was completely locked up by the time we returned from dinner at 20:30 however I was advised this may be the case if its quiet. Alarm bells began ringing when locals we spoke to seemed to show sympathy when we said we was staying at the White Horse. The only saving grace was the women at the bar dealing with punters and hotel guests, she was so helpful, friendly and overall just a pleasure to speak to.

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.

Ok, but lacking in many features.

Room was clean and spacious, but beds uncomfortable with broken springs. WiFi not available in the room. Advertised free breakfast was not included. Very tiny car park. Friendly staff.

Disappointing

We were in room 6, there were no windows in the bedroom or the bathroom, the only natural light came from a small skylight, we were woken up early with the light coming in through said skylight as we were unaware that there was a motorised blind on it, the controls were hidden in the bedside cabinet & we did not find them until the morning - we should have been made aware of this. The furniture was mis match, the stool had a loose top, the light fittings were covered in cobwebs. The bathroom door did not shut, the extractor fan did not work, the shower cubicle was tiny (There was plenty of room in the bathroom for a decent sized shower cubicle) & the doors did not close properly. The worst thing was that the towels smelled bad, the only way I can describe it is the dirty oily greasy smell you get from some industrial kitchens, like they had been stored in said kitchen before being put in the room. The signage on the pub said Bed & Breakfast - there was no breakfast!

Would not recommend.

Dirty room, stained mattress showing through the sheets, no hot water in the bathroom taps, electric heater which sparked during the night and paper thin walls so could hear every word and action of the neighbouring rooms. Needs a thorough clean and renovation.

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.

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 .
