The Unicorn Hotel Wetherspoon, hotel in Ripon

With parts of the building dating back 700 years, this former coaching inn stands on the market square in the ancient city of Ripon, at the gateway to the Yorkshire Dales.

We like the unicorn as it's central to everything, it has cheap drinks & friendly staff. We visit Ripon quite often & would be nice if could get discount on the rooms while staying there a lot.

    The workhouse, victorian prison and the courthouse were fascinating. Also a beautiful Cathedral, lovely river walks parks. Excellent bus service to Harrogate and surrounding areas, all for £2.00 or bus pass. Nice places to eat and a very pretty little city. Would recommend as once there you don't need a car unless you want to explore further.

    Ripon Cathedral was holding a Spring Fayre fundraiser - lots of stalls and a choir festival! There is a Museum walking Trail There are independent places to eat and one of the larger chains in the market square which suited us! Unfortunately the Spa Swimming Baths is closed - would've loved to see inside!

    Ripon is a lovely small city in Yorkshire. A city due to the amazing cathedral. Good selection of eateries, especially recomend the Stonehouse as food is perfect with quality staff. Local area has loads to explore and easy access to the A1(M) which allows access to all areas.

    Ripon has 3 small museums which are well worth a visit. Try to catch the horn blower who sets the watch every night at 9pm. A pleasant town to walk around and of course the cathedral is a must, including the saxon undercroft.

    Ripon had so much more to offer than expected.

    Ripon had so much more to offer than expected. Everyone was so friendly, it has a Cathedral, three museums, a beautiful square, market day is on a Thursday. Just 5 minutes drive away is Studley Deer Park and Fountains Abbey, it had a racecourse, beautiful canal and riverside walks , at 9pm a must is a visit to the square to see the Ripon horn-blower blow the horn at the obelise and give a brief history of the Cities traditions. We stayed at the Blackamoor with its own restaurant, and had a light lunch at Tates Garden Centre , both exceptional.

    A great location for exploring Yorkshire Dales and surrounding areas. Ripon itself is lovely. A very quiet residential area. We could park next to the house. The house itself is very spacious and kitchen is very well equipped. We also enjoyed a great selection of DVDs and books. A very useful welcome folder with great tips on what to see and where to eat.

    It was off the main road into Ripon, so not one that you could walk. It said on the website, '2 minutes' from Ripon and it was, but by car. I had misread it and thought we were staying in Ripon and could walk around the town. The food was delicious and Seamus tried hard to be helpful and was very friendly and informative.

    the hosts were very accommodating, we travelled up from Dorset for a funeral and they allowed us slightly early entry. The key safe was easy to locate and use. The house was located in a quiet street around 15 mins walk from Ripon centre. Lovely house with everything you need.

    Small but well equipped cottage for two people. The host was lovely and the location ideal to access Ripon centre on foot.. Having use of the garden for breakfast and in the evening when we got home, was very relaxing. The off-street parking space was welcome too.
