Perfect location. Excellent breakfast. We stayed in Room 11 with a view of the cathedral which is just over the street. The hotel is a very old building so it's a bit quirky which I like and obviously not modern. We are already planning our next visit.

Stunning building, great location. But won’t be for me in future as I don’t travel light and too many stairs for me (no lift). And no a/c which was okay for one night! But can’t beat location for town centre. Food lovely

I don't normally write reviews but was very pleased with our stay at the Old Deanery The staff were very helpful and pleasant to talk to. The breakfast was excellent and unique. Parking was good and even the owner of the Old Deanery suggested that we moved our classic car as it was parked under a tree to a more open space. The property is more or less opposite the Cathedral in Ripon so very convenient for the centre of town. Due to the unusual hot weather there were even fans in our room to help cool things down.

Parking and location are excellent. Staff are helpful and the food was great

Beautiful property in a great location.

We arrived late Saturday night, the staff were welcoming and helpful. Diners were leaving the restaurant and having a late drink in the reception lounge, so we went straight down as the atmosphere and service was again great. The next morning the breakfast was brilliant and the service personnel and informative. The location could not have been any better for the historic part of town and a great starting point for a long walk on Sunday.

Liked: the sampling breakfast. Some continental items served first with cooked English breakfast after. No buffet is good. Disliked. No lift. 42 stairs to my room (10).

Fantastic location next to the cathedral with grounds and parking. It's a beautiful very old building but some of the decor is tired. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast is a set menu served in two parts, first part is continental style which was lovely, the second part was more traditional English breakfast which had real potential however it was spoiled as the sausage was overcooked and dry, but the bacon was murdered and just shattered as it was extremely overdone, inedible really. We stayed two nights and the bacon was the same each morning! just not to my liking. Hawkstone beer was very good though. Our room was large with a nice view of the rear garden, the water was hot, tea & coffee facilities were good, bed was comfy, decor a little tired. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and thought it was good value.

Friendly staff, rooms are stunning just so helpful

It is very quaint, with a beautiful garden. Lovely location opposite the cathedral.

Staff very friendly, clean and our breakfast was amazing! Very close to the town centre. Thank you

I couldn’t have been happier with my stay at the Old Deanery. Incredible location for the Cathedral, Hornblower, etc. My room looked directly onto the Cathedrà and was such a treat. Lovely comfy bed and the room was spotless. Delightful staff, who couldn’t do enough for you. Special shout out for Tom, who is just the nicest chap, but everyone was wonderful. The most beautiful breakfast with homemade breads and granola plus a fresh home cooked breakfast. I will absolutely be coming back again.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Old Deanery. The room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. The breakfast was amazing and we loved the attention to detail. All the staff were very helpful and obviously enjoyed working at the hotel. We also liked the location and ease of parking. We will definitely recommend The Old Deanery to our friends.

Fantastic breakfast using only quality ingredients, best smoked salmon I’ve ever had. Had the taster menu one evening, never before have I tasted such wonderful food, chef Adam is a master of the culinary art.

Breakfast beautiful. Easy parking

The Old Deanery is brilliant if you appreciate a sense of the historic! The rooms are full of charm and character and the staff were excellent. The 'Tasting menu' is a delight on the taste buds and well worth every penny! As is the breakfast which is a wonderful way to start the day. It is situated over the road from the beautiful Cathedral in the heart of the ancient city of Ripon and well worth the opportunity to forget about the car and explore the city on foot. Well worth the money.

Parking good breakfast food could not eat smoked bacon to hard mushrooms dont like tried dont like smoked salmon on morning and parma ham no toast tried to be too fancy lots people left breakfast.

Lovely old building, delicious breakfast and welcoming friendly staff
