About The Royal Oak Ripon

Families and couples after a straightforward base for exploring Ripon will find The Royal Oak Ripon a practical choice. This is a traditional B&B set above and around a working pub on Kirkgate, in the centre of Ripon, with parking available for anyone arriving by car after a day on the road.

Rooms come with en-suite bathrooms, drinks available in room, and free WiFi throughout, while breakfast is served each morning to set guests up for the day. The bar downstairs offers a proper local feel, with kids meals catered for and 24 hour reception meaning arrivals aren't tied to a strict schedule. There's a garden for warmer days too.

The location suits visitors keen to see Ripon Cathedral or Fountains Abbey, both within reach, and there's no shortage of things to do nearby, from fishing to entertainment, plus other pubs, bars and restaurants dotted around Kirkgate for evenings out beyond the on-site bar.
