The parking was very easily accessible and was perfectly adequate for the number of rooms in the property. The evening meal was fantastic and the breakfast was extremely good with a very helpful and professional team. I would definitely recommend a stay or a meal here.
The parking was amazing and we were able to check-in early, situated within a minutes walk of the cathedral and shops were located very near. The facilities were brilliant and the staff were so helpful. Breakfast was out of this world. If you get the chance you must pay this place a visit the whole experience was magnificent.
Gorgeous old building with amazing access to Ripon, couldn’t beat the location with the cathedral in view from the window. Lovely breakfast and really friendly staff who helped as much as they could on a hot day!
Loads of character, unique presentation and fabulous setting. Room had everything necessary and the staff were helpful, informative and seemed to really love being hosts.
Fantastic weekend at this lovely hotel. Great location, with fab views of the cathedral. Incredible breakfast and our room was huge, with a massive comfy bed. We'll definitely be back!
Beautiful house with easy parking and lovely friendly staff. Loved the food and the atmosphere..my room was very spacious and the bed was very comfortable . I will definitely stay again
Second time at the Old Deanery and we had another lovely stay. We included the evening tasting menu this time and weren't disappointed. thoroughly recommend this venue if you like old world charm coupled with good hospitality
A lovely place to stay. Old deanery with many original features giving it real character. Central location for local amenities. Clean and comfortable with welcoming staff and fabulous breakfast.
