About The Sawley Arms

Seventy-eight rooms make The Sawley Arms a sizeable base for a traditional inn, set on Fountains Road in Ripon within easy reach of the surrounding North Yorkshire countryside. The style is straightforward and unpretentious, with en-suite bathrooms throughout, family rooms and accessible rooms available, and drinks can be brought to your room for those who prefer to unwind away from the bar.

Food and drink are catered for on site, with a restaurant and a snack bar alongside the main bar, and kids' meals are available for family stays. There's a garden with outdoor seating for warmer days, free WiFi throughout, and meeting rooms for those combining business with a break. A 24 hour reception and luggage storage add convenience, and free on-site parking makes driving in from further afield straightforward.

The area suits walkers and cyclists, with plenty of routes through the surrounding countryside, and there are pubs, bars, restaurants and other eateries nearby for evenings out beyond the hotel itself. Ripon's historic landmarks are within reach too, making this a practical spot for those keen to explore the wider region on foot, by bike or by car.
