Book now with Booking.com

A beautifully restored Edwardian building in the heart of Ripon, The Ripon Inn is a true pub with rooms, mixing historic character with modern comfort, within walking distance of Ripon Cathedral and the city centre. Among its 58 bedrooms are rooms kept for guests with dogs, which makes this dog friendly inn an easy base for the cathedral city and the North Yorkshire countryside with yours alongside.

When you book, mention your dog so you're allocated one of the pet-friendly rooms, and as many as two dogs can come along. Your room can't double as a place to leave the dog unattended, but that hardly matters, since dogs are welcome to join you when you eat.

In the pub and dining spaces, the areas set aside as dog friendly have water bowls and treats waiting for your dog. Food is served daily, from breakfast through to hearty evening meals, with traditional Sunday roasts.

Most of the classic rooms look out over the inn's expansive gardens, and the accessible rooms have level access. For the dog's daily walk, Wildpack's River Skell Riverside Walk is just 0.1 miles from the inn, and Ripon Canal Towpath (Canal Wharf) is 0.5 miles away.
