Consider requesting a packed breakfast if you plan an early start. it’s very convenient and a nice touch.

Room was lovely and bigger

I had a fantastic stay, especially enjoying the delicious breakfast and the cozy room setup. The bathtub was a delightful surprise compared to what I expected from the photos. I'd definitely return!

Comfortable beds and well-equipped en suite bathrooms. Cozy atmosphere with easy access to a bar serving delicious food, including some awesome burgers and a fantastic breakfast with quality ingredients. The small car park, while a bit tight, is manageable for medium-sized vehicles.

The hotel had some quirks. Cobwebs in the bedroom and the ceiling slope made it tricky when getting in and out of bed. Poor lighting on the outside stairs can pose a hazard after dark, especially when combined with muddy surfaces. Some bathrooms showed signs of wear and could benefit from maintenance. There’s no waste plug in the washbasin that might cause inconvenience. The area lacks street lighting, which might feel daunting if you're sensitive to driving in the dark.

a cozy retreat for food lovers with wonderful breakfasts and supportive staff

Comfortable rooms, delightful food.

would happily go back again

Stayed for a couple of nights in an en suite double room. The room had a flat-screen TV, free toiletries, and tea/coffee maker. Bed was super comfy. Breakfast was spot on with freshly baked croissants. The location was nice and quiet, making it perfect for a relaxing getaway.

The atmosphere at this charming cricket-themed pub was delightful, and service was friendly. While the menu could use some exciting new options, the cooked breakfasts were fantastic. Be cautious of the tight entrance to the car park, but overall, a lovely place to unwind in the countryside.

beautiful gardens and charming village walks for city explorers

I had a wonderful stay with a comfy bed and friendly staff. I enjoyed a lovely stroll to the nearby Waterperry Gardens, known for its stunning floral displays and peaceful atmosphere, which added so much to my weekend exploring. it's just under 5 km away, making it a perfect walking distance for anyone who loves to appreciate nature while staying close to city attractions.

cozy, cozy, cozy

I absolutely loved this charming little hideaway! The room was not just cozy but warmly heated by electric heaters that worked wonders. Plus, breakfast was a delightful treat that kicked my day off perfectly!

100% recommend 💖🌟

Tasty pub grub!

Stumbled into this cute pub for a quick bite. The fish and chips were epic—big fish, thick chips, and homemade tartare that was delish! The staff were super friendly, and even though the parking was a bit tight, we managed just fine. They could add more breakfast options though, like croissants!

comfortable bed but chilly room

The bed provided a restful night's sleep, which was essential for our short stay. Breakfast options exceeded our expectations with fresh ingredients and attentive service.

The room was quite chilly during our stay.

I chose to stay at The Bat & Ball for its convenience to Ripon College, just a short walk from the function I was attending. The room I had was a bit small and chilly. I appreciated the comfortable bed, which made a difference for the short time I was there. the noise from other rooms and the stairwell was quite intrusive. An electric heater was provided, but I didn’t use it as I was hardly in the room. Breakfast was good and provided a nice start to the day. Unfortunately, some aspects need attention, like the cleanliness of the room. I noticed cobwebs and a slippery, muddy outdoor staircase that was poorly lit. There was a lack of food options on-site, which was surprising. my stay had its ups and downs, balancing comfort with some significant inconveniences.

Bring some earplugs if staying in room 8 as noise from the pub can be disruptive at times.

do recommend for a city break

Comfortable room, good breakfast, the free wi-fi in rooms is a nice touch for planning your day out.

Couldn't have been better.
