The Inn South Stainley

Great place will be staying again

Rooms were lovely and clean and food in the restaurant was excellent

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.

Amazing service and so well looked after by the staff. Made our stay so much

Superb property everything 5 star

Celebrating with friends. Comfortable, parking easy, close to Ripon, Harrogate, Knaresborough, lovely drives nearby. Menus provided good choice, staff excellent.

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.

Very clean Service and food very good

Lovely welcome and lovely room in the garden. Enjoyed the evening food too, friendly hosts. Will stay again when in the area, recommend.

Very much enjoyed our stay. The room was very clean and had everything we needed. Bed was very comfortable and staff very friendly. Food at the inn was also very good and it had a nice atmosphere. Would definitely stay there again.

Start to finish a great experience

Pub & room was lovely, no complaints. Food and drinks in pub were good. Bus stop directly outside to Harrogate, saved us driving in so that was a bonus.

Had a lovely room in the grounds with it's own balcony. Loved to see and hear nature on the doorstep. Didn't have Dinner but breakfast was excellent. Loved the fact we were central to visit quite a lot of historic towns.

Absolutely Amazing! Extremely clean rooms and entire pub/restaurant. Staff were friendly, lovely breakfast Will definitely book again

We have had the best experience. this stay was more of a stop off and it’s turned into one of the best stays we have had. We travelled with a dog and he was fully catered for. He could stay with us for our evening meal and also join us for breakfast with the addition of a sausage just for him. The food and the choice for both evening meal and breakfast was vast and absolute quality reasonably priced. We were in a lodge overlooking the garden which was warm and cosy and had everything we needed. We are sad to be only staying one night, this place is a total gem

Wow what a find, the place is really nice to stay at our room was lovely with loads of space and a nice on suite. The room and the pub/ hotel is very clean and spacious. The staff are absolutely lovely nice people to talk to who are very helpful and attentive and the food well the food is excellent nicely presented and very tasty. We will have no hesitation in booking here again for another stay it’s very quiet at night even though it’s on a main trunk route and has a big car park so no problems parking. There seemed to be a fair few people in the place on an evening to eat even though we were there on a Monday and Tuesday so it shows that the place is well regarded for its food. All in all a really great place to stay or have a meal.

Our stay was perfect. The staff we spoke to were friendly and helpful.

Very pleasant stay, nice decor, food and good cleanliness. Felt very comfortable and staff were friendly and attentive

Last year we stayed at the Inn to break our journey from Hampshire to Northumberland, and it worked so well we’ve repeated the exercise. It’s a few miles off the A1(M), it worth the short detour. Our rooms have been in to main building, and both have been recently fitted out to a good standard. Breakfast. Is held in a room with good garden views and is excellent. We ate in the restaurant and bar on different evenings. The menu is identical for both segments. The menu is interesting and the food itself is really good. When next we venture to the North we would plan to return to the Inn.

We were in one of the lodge rooms , which was very nice . Heating was good and very comfortable bed and a small place outside with table and chairs . Luckily our room was at the back as the main road is quite busy , but we heard nothing Would gladly stay here again
