Top Lightwater Valley Theme Park Hotel Reviews

Cosy and comfortable cottage, pet friendly, woodburning stove, near village pub

10/10 Excellent

"Enjoyed our return just as much as the first time. Thank you."

The Old Deanery

10/10 Excellent

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Deanery. The staff so super friendly, accommodating and helpful. I can’t say enough about the phenomenal breakfast. The food was amazing and the staff was on it with impeccable service. Location just the across from Cathedral with a short walk to the square and ample free parking. Would definitely stay there again if in the area."

The Ripon Inn - The Inn Collection Group

10/10 Excellent

"All good - food excellent."

The Old Coach House

10/10 Excellent

"Gorgeous property with lovely rooms. Excellent breakfast. Lovely friendly staff."

Valentinos Restaurant With Rooms

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing place. The best breakfast I have ever had in a hotel. Great location. I would definitely stay again. Well done to all the staff."

Country Hideaways | Cobblestone Cottage | Ripon

10/10 Excellent

"What a wonderful place to stay with a very generous welcome pack and helpful and friendly hosts. It is located on a quiet road with easy access and we enjoyed the walks around the area and into Ripon, along with trips to many other attractions. The pictures of the cottage are misleading as looking from the front it looks quite small but it is extremely spacious inside with all the rooms extending backwards from the lounge and dining room (at the front) so it has an excellent kitchen, small bedroom with a single bed and then a good sized main bedroom with patio doors leading out onto a quiet and sunny patio. Absolutely wonderful."

Country Hideaways | The Hay Loft | Ripon

10/10 Excellent

"This was our fourth stay at The Hay Loft, and hopefully it won’t be our last. It’s simply a perfect cottage for two, full of charm and with wonderful hosts. The walled garden and off-street parking is a major bonus."

Boutique and spacious luxury lodge, perfect for a romantic escape.

10/10 Excellent

"Just excellent."

A stunning luxury lodge, perfect for a couples retreat or family break.

8/10 Good

"As per main comments, some of the soft furnishings, particularly the sofas are past their best and require renewal. Both bathroomâ€™s flooring could do with replacement and some remedial work to address blackened silicone sealant etc. is required. The lodge is still nice but starting to look slightly tired in places. Not a big task to get it to an excellent standard once again."
