The space

The Ground-Floor Cottage

Located at the rear of the building, the ground-floor cottage offers a peaceful and beautifully finished retreat, ideal for guests who value ease of access and calm surroundings.

Entered via its own private entrance, this charming space blends period character with contemporary comfort, creating an inviting atmosphere that immediately feels like home.

The heart of the cottage is a thoughtfully designed open-plan kitchen and dining area, perfectly suited to relaxed family meals or slow mornings over coffee. The living space flows effortlessly, offering a warm and comfortable setting to unwind after a day exploring Ripon. Natural light and tasteful interiors ensure the space feels both elegant and welcoming throughout.

Two beautifully appointed bedrooms provide restful accommodation, finished with high-quality bedding and calming tones to encourage a great night’s sleep. The modern bathroom is sleek and well-equipped, while the private courtyard offers a quiet outdoor space — a rare and welcome addition in such a central location. Tucked away from the street, the cottage feels secluded and serene, making it ideal for grandparents or family members seeking a quieter retreat while still being part of the wider stay.

The Three-Bedroom Apartment

Accessed via a separate private entrance at the front of the building, the three-bedroom apartment unfolds over three elegant floors and offers a refined, townhouse-style living experience. Designed with space, privacy and comfort in mind, it is perfectly suited to families who enjoy gathering together while still having room to spread out.

The first floor reveals a stylish kitchen and dining space, beautifully finished and fully equipped for everything from informal breakfasts to celebratory evening meals. Elevated views towards Ripon Cathedral provide a striking backdrop and a constant reminder of the apartment’s exceptional location.

Ascending to the next level, guests will find a sophisticated lounge — a comfortable and inviting space to relax, socialise or enjoy a quiet evening in.

Across the upper floors are three generously proportioned bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom, ensuring comfort and privacy for every guest. The master bedroom occupies the top floor, offering a calm and luxurious retreat away from the main living areas. Throughout the apartment, original architectural features are paired seamlessly with contemporary finishes, creating a space that feels both timeless and indulgent.
