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.

Damp beside bed on wall .
Very basic amenities, sachets coffee , tea bags, kettle - no milk. No bulbs in bedside lamps . Broken blind so when light on anyone could see in the room. Had to come through the pub to find the receptionist.
Didn’t know where to put keys as pub was locked when leaving .

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 included but price remained the same. Rooms smelt musty. Furniture falling apart. Cobwebs. No remote for tv so was unable to use it as you needed the remote to operate the tv. Staff pleasant enough

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
