Three night stay at the Royal Oak, Ripon.

The staff at this hotel are first class and made our stay very pleasant. The rooms and outside areas need repair and updating but this did not detract from a very pleasant stay.

The Royal Oak is in a prime position near the centre and cathedral, lots of restaurants near by thought the food her is very good , good collection of beers and nice beer garden, the room on the top floor was clean and spacious though the tv reception poor and no bath plug, good views over the cathedral thought

Stay at Ripon

Comfortable room and excellent breakfast. Everything clean. All staff were very helpful. Had dinner at the hotel which was also excellent. A major downside was being disturbed after midnight by very noisy drinkers in the hotel's outside area. Free secure parking was a bonus

Disappointing

Room was nice apart from TV didn’t work properly, Milk in the room was off , no plug for the bath or hairdryer or bottled water as stated . Wasn’t told or asked if we had parked ok luckily a gentleman out the back told us where to park and gave us the code . Service at breakfast was disappointing , lady serving was on her own and clearly needed help and came across as unapproachable when asking for anything!
