Guest Reviews
- Sally (10/5): Fabulous stay at The Old Deanery - Our stay at the Old Deanery has been fantastic, we weren't sure what to expect having read up on the Old Deanery, as we usually stay at Inn's for hikers, with a standard breakfast. I'm so pleased that we chose a two night stay with breakfast included, as it was such a special experience. We were welcomed and made to feel at ease by friendly staff, who are all passionate about giving their guests a real experience, not just an over night stay. The rooms are specious, comfortable and have been decorated to keep with the period of the building.
- Daisy (10/5): Gorgeous Ripon stay - 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!

- Jenny (10/5): Fabulous! - We knew this place was special from the moment we drove into the grounds. Service was fantastic and our room was overlooking the garden, which was beautiful. Lots of character in the building. We wish we had our evening meal there after tasting the breakfast the next day. Truly excellent and a real treat.
- Mark (10/5): - Fantastic breakfast, and well located near to the cathedral
- Scott (8/5): Almost perfect for a night or longer. - Stayed for one night and the kitchen was closed but loads of options close by in town. Breakfast was amazing however and worth the trip. They opened breakfast early for me as i had an early start. Hotel was period in nature and some things are tired. Bed mattress was thin and awful, but the room was great. Molton Brown toiletries and plenty of good towels. Staff very helpful and friendly. Overall, worth the money and would return without hesitation.

- Neil (10/5): Lovely Independent Hotel - We stayed only for one night, but as soon as we got to the Deanery we were made to feel welcome. Our room was gorgeous, right up in the rafters overlooking the garden. The room was plenty big enough for us and was very peaceful. The breakfast was amazing. Can’t praise the staff enough. The Deanery is beautiful and right in the centre of the city and we felt very well looked after. Would definitely recommend.
- Karen (6/5): Lovely breakfast. - Impressive building and great to park outside. Staff and breakfast were exceptional. Our room was small stuffy and awful decor. Could do with some updating and mattress very thin, shower only suitable for anyone under 5ft3. Really enjoyed the breakfastt and all the staff were lovely.
- William (10/5): Little North Yorkshire Gem - We only stayed one night and discovered the taster menu at dinner which was readily booked (luckily for us). The food was superb and the sommelier did an excellent job of matching wines. Loved the take on a taster type breakfast too! Will be revisiting at some point that's for sure!
- Lesley (10/5): 2 day break - Great stay right in the centre of Ripon next to the beautiful cathedral Unfortunately the day we were there the hotel restaurant wasn’t open but we found a nice Italian restaurant round the corner Breakfast was very nice and different to what most b&b’s do Would definitely stay there again when we next visit Ripon
- Alasdair (4/5): Not for me - Poor wifi and poor breakfast service
- julie (10/5): - 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
