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

Lovely country pub with good beer and food in a small, quiet village. Nice, well kept garden with seating. Excellent room, a good size and very well appointed with a nice bathroom. Highly recommended.

2/10 Poor

Bad night’s sleep

Very poor night’s sleep. The room above us had very creaky floorboards. Our bathroom had a fan that set itself off every 20 minutes throughout the night. I raised both these issues via an email to the hotel which went unanswered. Not what I would expect for the amount we paid.
Antony, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

This is a relaxed small hotel - a bit like a guest house / hotel with good dining and bar for locals. Sawley is very convenient for Fountains Abbey but isolated - a car is essential. The Spanish chef was very good, as was the room andvthe staff attentive

henry, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.

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.

Country gem.

This is a wonderful little country pub and hotel. The staff were super friendly, it’s spotlessly clean and we had the best breakfast ever. We’ll definately be back.

Best night’s sleep in a long time!

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.

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
Richard, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

Excellent break

We had a 2 night stay, the staff, service and accommodation were to a very high standard. Everyone was very welcoming. The accommodation was spotlessly clean and tidy and very comfortable. Loved the lighting in the room. Also the bar/restaurant service was very good and the food was excellent We would recommend this hotel and will definitely return there.
Christine, 2-night trip

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!

Amazing!!!

Stayed for 2 nights over the bank holiday. Cannot say enough positive things about this place, we were a family of 4 and the rooms were perfect. The staff, especially Estelle ( I think this was her name) literally could not do enough for you. Dinner and breakfast were fantastic and the overall cleanliness of the place was the best I’ve ever seen. Great place in a great location with amazing staff
