We had a lovely stay at this working farm, where Maggie served the best black pudding for breakfast! Just wish the shower had a bit more pressure, though.

You must try the breakfast! It’s a hearty feast with locally sourced goodies, including the heavenly black pudding. The room was warm and spacious, and waking up to the farm’s animal sounds was a delight. Plus, it’s just a short stroll to Fountains Abbey, which is a must-see!

Check-out was a tad early at 10am, but Maggie graciously extended it to 11am, so not all was lost!

Maggie's personal hosting style and attention to guest comfort made us feel truly at home.

The stairs can be a bit steep, which might pose challenges with mobility issues.

Here’s why it’s a mixed review

Staying in a historic farmhouse with inviting touches was delightful. Breakfast was a sensational experience—Maggie's homemade shortbread and the farm's fresh eggs truly stood out!

Access to local shops is limited, which may require car travel for essentials. the narrow staircase could pose challenges for those with mobility issues.

Just back from an amazing stay at Mallard Grange! Huge comfy room with lovely touches like quality toiletries. Breakfast on locally sourced food was incredible, especially the black pudding! A few challenging stairs, but the cozy farm atmosphere made it all worthwhile.

Loved the comfy room, though check-out was a bit early for us.

Lovely escape to Ripon! 🌾🐄

Brekkie was just superb! So much choice, and the food was really top-notch. The room was massive and always warm—felt like a lekker little hideaway. Plus, the location is spot on for visiting Fountains Abbey. you can just pop over for a stroll!

Just a heads-up, it can get a bit dusty from the farm, so don’t rock up in your best shoes!

Fantastic stay with lovely hosts!

Just spent 2 nights here and it was awesome! The room was spacious and super clean, and the shower was great. Maggie's friendliness made it feel like home. Breakfast was a highlight—seriously delicious. A little more shelf space for toiletries would’ve been nice, but everything else was spot on. Picnic area outside was perfect for a quick bite!

Just a perfect match for a mini-break over the weekend in Ripon with good value. Breakfast was delightful with engaging conversation and locally sourced food. Don't forget to try the homemade shortbread—they're fantastic!

The cozy farmhouse ambiance is enhanced by breathtaking views of open fields and nicely restored rooms offering both luxury and a homely vibe. Breakfast features an impressive locally sourced menu, catering thoroughly to dietary restrictions and serving top-notch dishes like fantastic black pudding.

The narrow staircases can pose a hassle for anyone with mobility issues, and the standard 10 AM check-out could leave you yearning for a few extra minutes of sleep. accessing local stores might require a car ride due to the limited proximity, and while the farm's environment is charming, be prepared for some noise from the daily operations. Connectivity can be patchy, which isn’t ideal for those who need robust internet, and the dust from the farm roads can make for a messy arrival if you’re not careful with your footwear.

mallard grange is a lovely spot near the market square, which has been vibrant for over 1100 years. everything about our stay was first class, especially the breakfast that had a wonderful variety, showcasing local ingredients. The service was exceptional. the friendliness of the staff truly stood out, making us feel at home during our three nights.
