We recently had the pleasure of staying at The Inn South Stainley, and it exceeded every expectation. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and genuinely pet friendly something we deeply appreciated as we were travelling with our dog. Our superior room was beautifully presented, spacious, and featured a comfortable bed that guaranteed a restful night’s sleep. The balcony opened onto the garden, offering a serene spot to enjoy a morning coffee while our dog explored the safe and well-kept outdoor area. It truly felt like a home away from home—for both us and our four-legged companion. The dining experience was nothing short of exceptional. Breakfast featured local, glorious produce, and the bacon and black pudding were unlike anything we’ve tasted before rich, flavourful, and perfectly cooked. For dinner, we had the sirloin steak, and it was genuinely the best we’ve ever had tender, cooked to perfection, and served with real attention to detail. What truly sets The Inn apart, however, is the staff. The team was friendly, caring, and impressively efficient. Their attentiveness and warm hospitality added so much to the overall experience. The location is great for easy access to Ripon, Ripley Castle, Harrogate, & Knaresborough, is a perfect blend of comfort, quality, and genuine hospitality. Whether you’re looking for a romantic getaway, a base for exploring local gems, or a luxurious pet-friendly escape, this gem of a place ticks every box.

Anyone looking for a short stay, or base for visiting Fountains Abbey or other local attractions should consider the Inn. The property is clean bright and feels new. The room we stayed in was small but beautifully finished and set out. All the meals were really good, Haddock was huge and the Steak pie delicious. Staff friendly and helpful. All so good.

Good place for weekend break.

The hotel staff were all friendly, welcoming and happy to help. We mentioned it was our 50th wedding anniversary and we were surprised by a lovely complimentary desert.

Has potential but needs a few extras!

Lovely looking room, with a great shower. Visitors should be aware that 10 of the rooms are in a separate building, which we were in. The room only had a radiator, and no aircon, which meant when the heating was pumping out it was boiling. There was a fan in the room but took forever to cool down. When we turned the radiator down it was then freezing in the morning. The mattress was too firm for us and the pillows are terrible. One pillow is not enough, two is too much and both far too firm! There is also no fridge, which is silly when the room is big enough and you’re away from the main building. There is also no shelf/stand to put your luggage on. Again, there is plenty of room to add this. Breakfast was disappointing, with only standard tea and coffee included in the price. We waited over 30mins for our food to be served. I had the boiled eggs which were really nice, but my partner ordered poached eggs (these were nice), mushrooms and tomatoes. The mushrooms were burnt and crunchy and the tomatoes were still hard. We notified the waiter who took them back, but when the new plate was delivered, this time they were both under cooked. Overall, we would not stay again.
