Excellent
I loved Ripon. Plenty to see, good food for all tastes. I watched the horn-blower, visited the cathedral, walked along the river Skell. Even on a winter day with wet snow, the place was lovely

We had a great experience,watching the Remembrance parade at The Bath Gardens. I managed to meet the Hornblower yesterday, after the staff told me about the Tradition Met a couple at the Square we walked back to the Hotel and had a drink or two.

A beautiful little town and well worth a visit for the restaurant alone, but also a pleasant marketplace and cathedral.

Stunning countryside, but meeting tractors on the tiny twisty roads with few passing places was daunting!

Ripon is a lovely towns and Jervaulx Abbey is also lovely as were the surrounding priories with lovely laid out grounds and gardens etc but ours was disappointing with just gravel but there were nice tubs of flowers which were pretty.
"Lobby restaurant better than roof-top restaurant. Shower very good. Toiletries plentiful. Too many unmarked light and electrical switches. Luckily some seemed to come on automatically. Location is excellent for trains and easy walking access to York Minster and the tourist attractions. National Railway Museum currently very distant to access, due to reconstruction."
"This was our second stay at Grantley Hall and it didn’t disappoint. It is the best hotel I’ve stayed in. Lovely spa area provides for a relaxing break."
"The reception staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making check-in smooth and pleasant. The room was clean and well-maintained upon arrival, and the service the next day was truly impressive. Housekeeping did a fantastic job — they cleaned thoroughly, changed the bed linen, and neatly organised everything in the room while we were out.
I had booked a King Size Room with a City View. While the room itself was comfortable and spacious, the view was a bit underwhelming as it included a nearby construction site with a noticeable pile of sand just a few meters below. That was the only slight letdown in an otherwise pleasant stay.
Aside from that, everything was superb — excellent service, cleanliness, and a comfortable stay overall. Thank you to the team for the warm hospitality!"
