We stayed two (separate) nights again on our way up to Scotland and back. As usual, we had a very pleasant stay. The hotel is elegant, the rooms spacious and comfortable, and the meals in the bar very good, as well as copious. On the second morning there weren't many guests staying, so the chef cooked everyone's breakfast to order,... More

My husband and myself and our dog "Bertie the fox terrier". Have just returned from a wonderful weekend spent at The Ripon Spa Hotel in Ripon, Yorkshire.

From the moment that we walked in we wanted to walk out. Very Strong musty smell hit us the moment that we walked in and got worse and worse as we walked down the corridor to our room.

The staff were welcoming, the parking easy, hotel grounds were a good, room was spacious, beds were comfy and best of all they are pet friendly.

Room was clean and had usual things, I.e. hospitality tray, bathroom toiletries, hair dryer etc. If I had to nit pick, I would say the room was a little dated and could... More

We have had Sunday lunch at the Ripon Spa restaurant on a number of occasions, and each time the food has been excellent, last Sunday, our Wedding anniversary, was no exception. The main course roast was of a very high quality, my wife said the pork crackling was the best she had ever tasted! The choice of cold deserts is... More
