Planning a trip to Ripon with your dog? You'll find welcoming pet-friendly hotels that keep both you and your four-legged companion comfortable. From the historic The Old Deanery, set opposite Ripon Cathedral with free parking and garden views, to The Bull Inn West Tanfield, a 17th-century coaching inn with a traditional restaurant and easy access to Lightwater Valley Theme Park, these hotels combine practical amenities like free WiFi and private bathrooms with a relaxed, homely feel. Budget-wise, expect moderate rates-many include breakfast and free on-site parking, so you can allocate more to exploring the Yorkshire Dales.
For a truly exceptional stay, consider The Old Coach House, a guesthouse just 7 km from the cathedral, praised for its superb breakfast and beautiful garden. If you prefer a central location, Oyo The White Horse puts you minutes from Ripon's market square and offers free parking and non-smoking rooms. When booking, check each hotel's pet policy-some may charge a small fee-and confirm the availability of outdoor spaces for morning walks. With a range of options from family-run inns to boutique guesthouses, you'll find a dog-friendly base that suits your itinerary, whether you're visiting Fountains Abbey or enjoying a day at the races.
