The cathedral is magnificent, the nightly at 21:00hrs Horn Blower in the square, plenty of eating establishments (Valentino's was particularly good; had to go there and stay because The Old Deanery (sadly) is closed on Sundays). Excellent location.

Delightful small city with attractive market square; lots of cafes and restaurants (open on Sunday afternoon and evening!) Dined twice at the excellent Valentino's. Went twice to choral evensong.

Fountains Abbey was very interesting. As was Ripon Cathedral. Ripon itself as a town/city was nothing special.

Loved it have visted before so decided to stay overnight to experience it fully. Great place.
"We loved our 2 rooms here. Beds were super comfortable, amenities were fantastic, food was tasty, we liked the history and decor, & we had great rooms with garden views. It was also nice to say someplace right next to the train station (especially since we brought my senior parents) and have the option of leaving luggage and exploring the city before check in / not taking your luggage all over town. For those driving, the car park / parking lot seem to be large enough to accommodate many visitors. "
"We enjoyed our two night stay all the staff were great very friendly
