We enjoyed a fantastic few days at the Ripon Inn, our first since it has been refurbished. Previously we had visited the Ripon Spa many times. We loved the new decor, comfort and style of the refurbished hotel. Visually it looks great, and so clean and comfortable too. The Staff are all helpful and friendly, food was very enjoyable, and not too over priced. I have two negative comments. The stair case up to the first floor is nice and wide, but in my opinion, for safety it should have a handrail on both sides. Particularly for us oldies. I was a little wary of passing people on the stairs. ( There is a lift ) Second point, as a gardener I was very pleased to see trees have been planted in the garden. However they are not being looked after very well and have been very badly staked. I would like to suggest you engage someone who knows what they are doing to give them some attention, and re-stake them, or more will be damaged by adverse weather. I used to love wandering around the attractive garden, and croquet lawns, I'm sure if the trees are looked after and when the new roses mature, it will look better again. Another asset is the gate through to the adjoining Spa Garden We will be back again, to stay, we love the Ripon area and the hotel is a rel asset. Very well done to the staff and designers.
