“Nestled a short walk from Ripon's center, the Inn provides a charming base with its Christmas decorations and garden views, enhanced by a recent renovation, though the dining might be inconsistent. The staff's friendly service and the option to skip room cleaning for a free drink add to the appeal. I think it's a solid choice for those prioritizing location and a welcoming atmosphere.”

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Ripon Inn is often described as one of the nicest hotels, offering a clean and comfortable experience, especially with the big, comfortable beds in the rooms. Its location is ideal, with only a short walk to Ripon Cathedral and the town centre, plus proximity to National Trust locations. Guests appreciate the option to decline room service in exchange for a drink voucher. While most find the food enjoyable, some have noted that the food and service were ok, but not exceptional, and the hotel is very dog friendly with water bowls and treats.
