We sampled 5 B&B's this May 2013 and the Fountain Guest House was by far the best & most pleasant. The attention to detail showed care by someone who is very creative and takes pride in giving that little bit extra. Cooked breakfast was indeed cooked to perfection - bacon crisp; sausages tasty (not like the cheap ones full of... More

We stayed in room two which was very spacious, could of had a bigger television. En suite bathroom roomy and modern, water pressure was excellent. Had to park on the street just down the road which was okay. Scott was excellent to deal with.

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 chose well when picking this as a base to sightsee in Ripon. It is very reasonably priced and close to the city centre. The owners are friendly and prepared to make an effort in making your stay a comfortable and enjoyable one. The B&B is tastefully furnished, but cosy and homely and the breakfast is delicious. 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.
