The prime location of this boutique bolthole in North Yorkshire puts it in striking distance of Ripon’s centre, only a ten-minute walk away. This cathedral city has a thriving market place, an array of independent shops and a wide choice of restaurants, pubs and bars. Why not spend a day exploring the beautiful Studley Royal Water Gardens in the grounds of Fountains Abbey on ther outskirts of Ripon. Close by are more family friendly attractions near Ripon, such as Lightwater Valley, Newby Hall, Ripon Races, Ripon Workhouse Museum (perfect for a rainy day), and the glorious Ripon Cathedral.
Enjoy breakfast at Oliver’s Pantry, before a riverside ramble into the market square (market day is Thursday and Sunday, and not to be missed!) for a spot of independent shopping. Try tapas from Manchega’s, or a slice of homemade cake from Realitea. A Sunday roast is done best at The Storehouse, and try to book an evening slot so you can sample their cocktails too!
