I was away working with work and needed to find a b&b and short notice, I rang and got a room at short notice. I have to say it was worth every penny with a friendly couple who ran it and they were very attentive. Breakfast was really nice, being given the choice of what I wanted was a bonus... More

We too needed a "stop over" stay, from Edinburgh to the Cotswolds, and are so happy we chose Fountain House. Except, as usual we found that there is much to do in this area that we missed and could have easily stayed here a few nights. Scott & Emilie were gracious and very friendly hosts with a warm welcome. Our... More

We needed a 'stop over' for a night in Ripon. We could not believe how lucky we were to choose Fountain Guest House. We received a very warm welcome from Scott, who could not have been more helpful. The rooms were well furnished and spotlessly clean. The breakfast was excellent and Scott and Emilie were very helpful with advice on... More

Stayed at Fountains during 2nd night on Way of Roses cycle route. Good secure cycle storage, bedrooms were comfortable and clean, excellent power shower. Good location as only a 10 minute walk into the centre of Ripon. Breakfast was very good and Scott the host did everything to make the stay an enjoyable one.

I had a... More

Stayed here at the beginning of July for a long weekend exploring Yorkshire on our motorbikes. Scott and Emilie were extremely helpful and welcoming and even cleared some space in their garage so that we could strore our motorbikes securely. Room was clean and spacious and breakasts were excellent. Would certainly use again.

My family of four stayed for two nights in the spacious family room which was perfectly clean and comfortable for us, plus saved us a little money (one room instead of our usual two). Breakfast was ample in quantity and excellent in quality. Scott was very welcoming and gave great advice on places to eat and visit. There is a... More
