Modern, spotlessly clean accommodation and super- comfy beds! There was even a TV in the bathroom! Lovely country pub and beer garden. Restaurant a bit on the expensive side, but the quality and presentation of the food was really good. The take away fish and chips were half the price of the eat in and were delicious. Would definitely stay here again without hesitation. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5DE8D2E27C9994C30EA5FFB4DF5EE36730D8451C1722524712253.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5A0EA8D8EECADF1FB6B869D1C4CD617DB83AF7611722524711884.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/F81DE379BCCF544FD56CCFFB2B1467AA6686AD571722524714835.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Colleen Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sandra Apr 7, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We had a great one night stay. The room was clean, very modern and with high quality finish. Our daughter loved the high sleeper bed which was very safe. Convenient location for Brimham Rocks and Fountains Abbey. Plenty of parking onsite. We had a great dinner in the pub and our breakfast was delicious too. Friendly staff, would definitely stay again. ##### Sandra Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Jason Aug 30, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We had a lovely one night stay. Sure, the walls are a bit thin but it really didn't bother us. It's the food that gets the rave reviews. You know when your eyes water with satisfaction and contentment....that! ##### Jason Stayed 1 night in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lyn Oct 24, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Tanya, Estelle, Tim and the Scouse supporter were so friendly and helpful. The accommodation was immaculately clean and well maintained. Food was lovely and reasonably priced. We definitely plan to revisit soon. The only improvement I would suggest is to have ironing facilities in the room for guest”s convenience. Thanks to all for such a great stay! ##### Lyn Stayed 1 night in Oct 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Richard Nov 18, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Me and my Wife time Fantastic place to stay But with some issues in my mind Room was very clean and comfortable with some very modern touches Then spoiled by plastic cups only two small biscuits very small tv then having to pay for breakfast I would expect a room at £178 would include breakfast Staff were very nice Parking handy for rooms ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5147F31956A27CE44D093B9F73CB53622FA89A461731948243250.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/FEABD69792DE213D13313169830847C914D5D46C1731948242371.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/16C6357928AF91F277537D95F5E90CF777583B5B1731948244334.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/868A7D1A82EE27F0DF349236995F58B81B20168B1731948244499.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Richard Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Colleen Aug 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Pricey, but lovely location and grounds. Our second stay here in the same room. The location is very peaceful and rural and the hotel is well located for trips to Ripon, The Forbidden Corner, Fountains Abbey and Deer Park, Grantly Hall and Brimham Rocks. The beer garden is lovely and parking very near to our room was really convenient. The beds were very comfortable and the bathroom and shower modern and spotless. What prevented a five star rating was the room had an adjoining door and the guest in the next bedroom snored. In addition there was a lot of pacing about in the room upstairs the next morning ( maybe staff remaking the room?) and the ceiling was creaky. Also, for the price of the overnight accommodation, without breakfast included, we would have appreciated ceramic coffee/ tea mugs rather than plastic. These points, however, would not stop us from returning here. ##### Colleen Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nadine Jun 29, 2024 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The room was great with nice bunk beds and Screens. However, we could not sit in the lower level bunk beds because of the upper bed and there was no place to sit. Otherwise, it is a great place to stay. ##### Nadine Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Peter Feb 17, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Potential- room for improvement. Stayed for five nights in an excellent room - first rate facilities, esp bathroom. Slight criticism: bed linen and towels unappealing colour and towels rather thin. Pub warm and comfortable, very friendly, staff helpful, excellent breakfasts. Dined in twice. Appreciated the special offer on steak night but winter menu otherwise rather dull, limited and overpriced. Over all an enjoyable stay but not outstanding value for money. ##### Peter Stayed 5 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carole Aug 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Sawley Arms A slight blip with a power cut but the staff couldn’t have been more on the ball and all was soon sorted The rooms were very well appointed and very clean. The staff were friendly, helpful and efficient and the breakfast was excellent. Would certainly revisit and can reccomend ##### Carole Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### henry Jul 20, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Good size room immaculate with beautiful bathroom and fabulous breakfast. ##### henry Stayed 1 night in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Mar 1, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort Well appointed, very comfortable, good food and drink, delightful ambience and excellent service. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Feb 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Rich Jul 8, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Lovely place to stay and all the staff are so helpful and friendly. A little too much noise between the guest rooms and the window blinds could be improved but otherwise a perfect place to stay while enjoying the beautiful surroundings near Ripon. ##### Rich Stayed 1 night in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dayle Mar 27, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The rooms were really lovely and the staff were exceptional especially Tracy who collected us from Grantly Hall ##### Dayle Stayed 1 night in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Wendy Jun 3, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Good staff especially helpful especial jenny ##### Wendy Stayed 1 night in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dianne Sep 16, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A gem in yorkshire The Sawley Arms was a gem in the countryside ##### Dianne Stayed 1 night in Sep 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Ruth Aug 28, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Good place but a bit overpriced we thought ##### Ruth Stayed 1 night in Aug 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Saffron House Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Ilfracombe-Hotels-Saffron-House-Hotel.h4252372.Hotel-Information) > > [Luxury Beach House Rental with Hot Tub, 30 meters to Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Looe-Hotels-Luxury-Beach-House-Rental-With-Hot-Tub.h27313935.Hotel-Information) > > [Cosy Cottage](https://www.expedia.ca/Northallerton-Hotels-Cosy-Cottage.h31001064.Hotel-Information) > > [A sudeley castle cottage that sleeps 4 guests in 2 bedrooms](https://www.expedia.ca/Cheltenham-Hotels-George-III-Sleeps-4-Guests-In-2-Bedrooms.h21786542.Hotel-Information) > > [Hex Wildlife Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Doncaster-Hotels-Hex-Hotel.h74151245.Hotel-Information) > > [Stonehenge Courtyard](https://www.expedia.ca/Stonehenge-Courtyard.h97558122.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Leeds Garforth by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Leeds-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Leeds-Garforth.h4595.Hotel-Information) > > [Barnett Hill - Luxury Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Guildford-Hotels-Barnett-Hill-Luxury-Hotel.h1452100.Hotel-Information) > > [The Old Coach House](https://www.expedia.ca/Ripon-Hotels-The-Old-Coach-House.h13172407.Hotel-Information) > > [Stilworth House](https://www.expedia.ca/York-Hotels-Stilworth-House.h33900336.Hotel-Information) > > [OYO The Leven](https://www.expedia.ca/Middlesbrough-Hotels-OYO-The-Leven.h16573899.Hotel-Information) > > [Cliveden House](https://www.expedia.ca/Maidenhead-Hotels-Cliveden.h518646.Hotel-Information) > > [The Feathered Nest Country Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Chipping-Norton-Hotels-The-Feathered-Nest.h44085381.Hotel-Information) > > [Sixteen B](https://www.expedia.ca/York-Hotels-Sixteen-B-Bed-And-Breakfast.h57403272.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyll Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Chipping-Campden-Hotels-Classic-Lodges-Charingworth-Manor.h517248.Hotel-Information) > > [Legacy Rose and Crown Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Salisbury-Hotels-Legacy-Rose-And-Crown-Hotel.h14780.Hotel-Information) > > [The Snooty Fox](https://www.expedia.ca/Carnforth-Hotels-The-Snooty-Fox.h83435597.Hotel-Information) > > [The Evenlode Rooms at Firehouse Oxford](https://www.expedia.ca/Witney-Hotels-The-Evenlode.h41258809.Hotel-Information) > > [Hall Farm Hotel & Restaurant](https://www.expedia.ca/Grimsby-Hotels-Hall-Farm-Hotel-Restaurant.h19132510.Hotel-Information) > > [The Sun Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Windermere-Hotels-The-Sun-Inn.h104452889.Hotel-Information) > > [Beadnell Towers Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Chathill-Hotels-Beadnell-Towers-Hotel.h37976931.Hotel-Information) > > [Cowley Manor Experimental](https://www.expedia.ca/Cheltenham-Hotels-Cowley-Manor.h1662540.Hotel-Information) > > [Red Lion Todwick by Chef and Brewer Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Sheffield-Hotels-Red-Lion-Todwick-By-Greene-King-Inns.h2621699.Hotel-Information) > > [Ocean Blue](https://www.expedia.ca/Truro-Hotels-Ocean-Blue.h30994563.Hotel-Information) > > [Wild Boar Estate](https://www.expedia.ca/Windermere-Hotels-The-Wild-Boar.h20698.Hotel-Information) > > [The Pointer](https://www.expedia.ca/Aylesbury-Hotels-The-Pointer.h18547451.Hotel-Information) > > [Ivy Cottage - sleeps 6 guests in 3 bedrooms](https://www.expedia.ca/Hunstanton-Hotels-Ivy-Cottage-Sleeps-6-Guests-In-3-Bedrooms.h113380581.Hotel-Information) > > [The Queens Arms Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Hexham-Hotels-The-Queens-Arms-Hotel.h29476804.Hotel-Information) > > [The Redlands](https://www.expedia.ca/Birmingham-Hotels-The-Redlands.h3504305.Hotel-Information)
