A little break for our team.

We’re closed this week while everyone takes a well-deserved breather ahead of the festive season.

We're a small hotel, but there's a lot of work goes into keeping things running smoothly everyday. There's lots goes on behind the scenes everyday to keep things running smoothly.

This is Liza, our lovely housekeeper, who helps make sure everything is just right for our guests. She works incredibly hard, often without guests ever seeing just how much goes into making their stay special.

From getting the rooms ready for arrivals to all the little details that make a difference, Liza plays a huge part in making The Old Deanery feel like home.

So here’s a little appreciation post for Liza and all that she does. ❤️

Sometimes a cup of tea needs a little something on the side. ☕️

From Saturday 24th October, we’ll be serving cream teas every Friday and Saturday at The Old Deanery.

A fruit scone, jam, clotted cream and a hot drink for £8. No need to book, just pop in!

Whether you’re staying with us, stopping by for a drink or just fancy a cuppa and a scone in a cosy corner of our rather lovely old building, you’re very welcome.

👀 also keep an eye on our socials about winter Sunday lunches, which might be making an appearance very soon...

Come on in.

This is the first room you’ll find when you walk through the doors of The Old Deanery. Part reception, part bar, and somewhere we hope makes you feel at home straight away.

There’s a big fireplace, comfy sofas and views across to Ripon Cathedral.

Find a seat, order a drink and make yourself at home. 🥂

Breakfast at The Old Deanery is a little different.

There’s no menu to choose from and no decisions to make, we bring you a little bit of everything.

Homemade crumpets and pastries, Yorkshire charcuterie, home-cured fish, granola and more, followed by our own take on a good old English breakfast.

It’s quite a spread. And honestly… it’s one of the things we hear about most when guests leave.

Breakfast is included with all overnight stays 🍴

We were looking through some old photos and came across one of the very first pictures we took after picking up the keys to The Old Deanery!

And look at that Mini… Chris & Rebecca’s 1960 Morris Mini-Minor. 🌸

We think it looks right at home outside!

We’re investigating, but the important thing is that the Hawkstone is still flowing at The Old Deanery. 🍺

Four years ago today, The Old Deanery featured in Yorkshire Life Magazine, following its transformation by Chris and Rebecca.

It’s still an ongoing project, and there’s always another little detail to discover, but we think that’s part of the charm.

Here’s to the next chapter at The Old Deanery. ❤️
