The room was lovely, and we even had a small fridge with fresh milk and quality waters in. Had lunch on arrival, and it was very tasty. The nice waitress let us check in early, which allowed us time to wander around the square before going to the races. Had a great night's sleep, and the 11am checkout was relaxing. Breakfast was amazing, there were 2 different homemade savoury croissants, and we then had poached eggs with smoked salmon, fresh juice, and great coffee. The young man serving us was a credit to the business.Highly recommended.

Lovely little city with lots if interesting places nearby to, good bus services if you don't want to use your car. A delight to see how proactive the residents are to decorate their city up for the forthcoming d day anniversary, it is a real credit go them. The nightly horn blowing ceremony is very interesting as well

The workhouse, victorian prison and the courthouse were fascinating. Also a beautiful Cathedral, lovely river walks parks. Excellent bus service to Harrogate and surrounding areas, all for £2.00 or bus pass. Nice places to eat and a very pretty little city. Would recommend as once there you don't need a car unless you want to explore further.

Ripon Cathedral was holding a Spring Fayre fundraiser - lots of stalls and a choir festival! There is a Museum walking Trail
There are independent places to eat and one of the larger chains in the market square which suited us!
Unfortunately the Spa Swimming Baths is closed - would've loved to see inside!

Ripon has 3 small museums which are well worth a visit.
Ripon has 3 small museums which are well worth a visit. Try to catch the horn blower who sets the watch every night at 9pm. A pleasant town to walk around and of course the cathedral is a must, including the saxon undercroft.
Everything was great except the room temperature. Broken sleep as it was a cold night and there was definite chill in the air. I tried turning up the temp on the rad but the rad never came on.
Otherwise, my dinner and breakfast were excellent, service was also excellent. Nice fluffy towels, room was spotless. Big thanks to the staff who provided breakfast even though I was a bit late.
I would recommend The Royal Oak in Ripon. Just turn up the heat. 😉
The hotel is in the centre of Ripon Close to shops, bars and cafe. It has it's own private parking at a very reasonable rate. Our room was clean and well appointed with a really comfortable bed, great pillows, and a view of the cathedral.
Breakfast was good. My partner had a full English, and I had the veggie version, which was delicious.
The staff were friendly and helpful.
We will stay here again and highly recommend it.
Situated in a the lovely village of Sawley , next to the village green and opposite the pub. Very comfortable cottage with all the mod cons ! Dog friendly .Down the road from an ice cream shop and easy drive to Brimham rocks, Fountains Abbey, Masham and Ripon. Owner was easy to contact with questions relating to new heating system.
It was off the main road into Ripon, so not one that you could walk. It said on the website, '2 minutes' from Ripon and it was, but by car. I had misread it and thought we were staying in Ripon and could walk around the town.
The food was delicious and Seamus tried hard to be helpful and was very friendly and informative.
Beautiful, tranquil setting in the English countryside. Neil is so accommodating and will help you with anything you need during your stay. The room was decorated beautifully, and the breakfast was exceptional. North Stainly is only 10 minutes from Ripon town so you’re close to shops, pharmacies etc if needed.
The host Seamus and his staff were very welcoming. The food was delicious and tasted home cooked. The bar area and dining room was lovely and little details like linen napkins made it feel special. The property is located outside of Ripon which is fine if you have a car as there is little nearby.
the hosts were very accommodating, we travelled up from Dorset for a funeral and they allowed us slightly early entry. The key safe was easy to locate and use.
The house was located in a quiet street around 15 mins walk from Ripon centre.
Lovely house with everything you need.
Ripon is a beautiful place to visit and the White Horse is well located in a central position. Our room was quiet. The bathroom was large and everything was spotlessly clean.
The lady who served breakfast on our first morning was friendly, cheerful and very helpful.
Small but well equipped cottage for two people. The host was lovely and the location ideal to access Ripon centre on foot..
Having use of the garden for breakfast and in the evening when we got home, was very relaxing.
The off-street parking space was welcome too.
Immaculately clean, Gail the owner is very professional and has gone above and beyond on the finishing touches of this property.
30mins walk to Bishop Monkton,(excellent meal in the Mason Arms)
1 hour walk to Ripon easy walk along the canal tow path.
