The Old Deanery - Restaurant With Rooms

This is a very good...

Liked: The breakfast was different but very good indeed.
Disliked: Nothing comes to mind

Magical location and magnificent food

Liked: Absolutely loved this place, from the location (right opposite the gorgeous cathedral) to the beautiful building itself. The food was amazing (don't miss the degustation dinner, it is worth every penny!) and the staff were all incredibly friendly and helpful. Free parking was also a boon. Ripon is one of my favourite places in the UK, and the Old Deanery will certainly be my preferred place to stay when I return.
Disliked: Not being able to go back on a regular basis when the fabulous menu changes with the seasons. Seriously, it was all wonderful, no complaints at all.

Lovely building but hot rooms...

Liked: The property is in a beautiful setting and is clearly very old and very well looked after.
Disliked: I had a room in the eaves, it was very hot in there (the hotel had provided a fan); only one of the windows was open and the heated towel rail in the bathroom couldn’t be turned off. Overall this meant that it was difficult to sleep.I know they pride themselves on the “taster menu” breakfast but, I’m sorry, I found it something of a waste. Stick to milk; cereal; bacon and eggs and a toaster and you’d do a lot better.

Very good

Exceptional

A lovely property set in...

Liked: A beautiful property set close to the heart of Ripon. The staff were really friendly and helpful
Disliked: It was a heatwave when we stayed. There was a fan but it was not sufficient to prevent us from having an almost sleepless night. A mobile air con unit would have been better. The ‘highly rated’ breakfast was not to our liking at all. We like to choose what we would like and not have a tasting breakfast thrust upon us.

Lovely weekend away

Liked: Excellent hospitality by all the staff members, the taster menu was phenomenal and definitely worth the money for the whole experience. Breakfast was exceptional. The character of the whole building and perfect location.
Disliked: Due to warm weather it was very warm in the bedroom that we stayed in, however a fan was already in place.

Absolutely fabulous with wonderful staff...

Liked: Everything, really pretty and quirky.

Great break
