The room was quiet and separate from the main building. It was kept spotlessly clean. The food was excellent; breakfasts were varied and excellent and the meal I had in the restaurant was also of a very high quality.

I cannot recommend THE INN highly enough!

This was our 3rd visit to The Inn at South Stainley.

We had 4 days and 3 nights and again we enjoyed ourselves.

We had our dinner for 3 nights at The Inn which were filling and excellent.

Likewise can be said for the breakfast we also had.

The room we stayed in was in premises alongside The Inn which was of a high standard and serviced daily.

Hopefully we will be back.

Amazing stay at The Inn South Stainley. I booked this stay as a surprise for my husband for his birthday and my birthday being the week after. We’d planned to visit the tractor show at Newby hall so was ideally located. The staff at the hotel were so friendly and helpful. They even left a birthday message and treat in our room which was greatly appreciated. The food for dinner and breakfast was outstanding. I would definitely return in future.

This was a lovely Inn. It was spotlessly clean everywhere and very well maintained.
The staff were all friendly.
The breakfasts were excellent with plenty of choice for everyone.
We had a room in one of the ouside lodges with a bacony. These were in a block of 6, 3 at the front overlooking the grounds and gardens and 3 at the back with views of trees.
The back rooms had a problem with seeds from the trees dropping all over our balcony and on the seating area. I felt sorry for the room maid having to clean those rooms as the seeds trod in everywhere. However this did not detract from our break and the management our trying to deal with the problem. Rooms at the front would be better but not as private as the back ones.
South Stainley is a quiet place within easy reach of Harrogate.
Our room had everything needed. The towels were large and of excellent quality. Beds very comfortable and we both slept like logs on both nights.
We enjoyed our stay . Thank you

The Inn at South Stainley
Stayed one night only
Stayed in room 6 in the annexe, a short stride from the main building.
Super king bed, spacious warm and welcoming room, spotless . Good size bathroom with both rain shower and body shower. Complimentary toiletries including shower caps! Dressing gowns and slippers, a lovely touch). Luxury teas and coffee (only uht milk, but I’m sure the main building would offer fresh).
Veranda with seating.
The evening meal was amazing. Fresh, well seasoned, hot plates. We were offered water for the table which I personally feel is a nice touch. Breakfast was equally delicious.
Staff were a credit to the hotel. Smart , professional, polite and attentive. The service just topped it off.
This has to be one of the top places we’ve stayed and although we don’t have a dog it is fabulously dog friendly too.
Absolute 5🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
All in all, a fantastic stay and wished it was longer.
Thank you all so much.

I have stayed here before and really liked it
However this time we checked in and then had to walk 100 yards out side in the freezing cold to what turned out to be a large wooden hut, now it would not have been a problem if I’d known as I wouldn’t have stayed, but to find out on arrival was annoying. It was cold but it could have been pouring down and that would definitely have been an issue. You then have to walk for your meal and back again then again in the morning!! I haven’t got the best mobility and I also found it really annoying getting wrapped up for a 100 yards!!
The however are very good and breakfast was excellent
I wouldn’t stay again just in case I’m in the hut, albeit a nice hut

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.

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.

There was plenty of parking. You have to record your registration number at reception to avoid a charge.
We received a friendly welcome and were shown to room 4. The room was quite large and was well appointed, however, despite the radiator being on, the room was very cold and unwelcoming. When we returned after our meal in the bar, the room was still very cold and remained so throughout our stay. The bathroom was also very chilly.
I mentioned this when we checked out. The receptionist said that the boiler must be on the blink again, but did not offer of an apology.
The evening meal and service were good, but the whole pub was not very warm. Fortunately we sat in front of the log burner.
