We spent two nights at The Old Deanery last week and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Everything is spotless and minimalist in decor. Be aware that the slipper baths with overhead showers are unsuitable for anyone with a dodgy hip! We had to change one of our rooms to one with a walk -in shower. The hotel is set in lovely... more

Had a wonderful stay last weekend and would recommend to anyone. We were on the romance package staying in a lovely room with views over the garden. This is the place to come if you want to relax, spend time doing very little but indulging yourself. The finishing touches made this. The towels and bathrobes fluffy and white. The toiletries... more

This hotel is great - brilliant location, oodles of charm yet modern amenities and super clean. Very professional staff, and a wonderful restaurant - a must if you are ever in Ripon. I would not hesitate to recommend this place to others. more

This hotel has bags of character. The fact that the building is over 200 years old seems to be lost on one or two of the other reviewers - sloping floors and a few cracks in walls are part of the fabric of the building.... The hotel is decorated nicely throughout. Our room was gorgeous with an amazing four poster... more

Absolutely excellent, but the attic rooms are hard when you have heavy cases more

We stayed at the Old deanery for a friend's birthday celebration at Fountains Abbey. This was one of the hottest weekends this year. The location is excellent, the building is beautiful ( and we didn't notcie the Catherdal bells) However, the room was large,with a good & comfy bed, but rather shabby ( we booked a superior room) There were... more
