This is an excellent period hotel right next door to Ripon cathedral. If you’re coming by car then you won’t have a problem parking as there’s a nice sized car park. We came on bike as we were doing the Way of the Roses cycle route from Morecambe to Bridlington. Incidentally, if you are doing this cycle ride and are... More

Staff couldn't do more for you and are very friendly. Lovely hotel, food excellent and superb location. The gardens are wonderful and the sunny weather just made it even better. Highly recommended. An easy and pleasant 15 minute stroll to the races too.

Staff could not have been more polite and helpful but we found the hotel a little on the shabby side. Waiting for breakfast in the dining room the lovely outlook to the garden was spoiled by the chairs and empty glasses of the night before not having been cleared. Breakfast was lovely when served but we had to sit in... More

The building, the rooms, the food, the wine, the... More

My wife and I have just had our wedding at the Old Deanery and it was PERFECT! None of our guests actually knew where we were getting married (it was a magical mystery tour) and when the bus pulled up outside the Old Deanery they couldn't have wished for a prettier and more special place. The Deanery was the perfect... More

Having read previous reviews of the Old Deanery we had high expectations and were not disappointed. The welcome was very warm and staff could not do enough to make us feel welcome and make sure we were happy. The room was full of character, nicely appointed and very spacious. The bar area was warm and cosy. Unfortunately due to the... More

We stayed here to see whether or not it would be suitable for our civil partnership venue. We were looking for a small top quality, but not pretentious hotel, with excellent food, wine and friendly service. We were not disappointed at all and have now booked this for our partnership. We stayed in room 4 which is very spacious with... More
