Elegant Ripon Stable Retreat

A stylish stable conversion in a quiet courtyard near Ripon’s historic centre. The Stables sleeps 4 in two king bedrooms with a cosy lounge, modern kitchen, and private courtyard with BBQ and fire pit. Enjoy shared gardens and parking for 2 cars. Perfect for exploring the Yorkshire Dales, Fountains Abbey, Newby Hall, and more. One dog welcome. The Himba, next door, can also be booked for larger groups. The main house is also available for even larger families. 

Escape to the Yorkshire countryside with a stay at The Stables, a beautifully restored 19th-century stable block nestled in a private courtyard just a short stroll from Ripon’s historic city centre. This two-bedroom retreat blends heritage charm with modern comfort across two stylish floors — the ideal base for couples, families or friends exploring the Yorkshire Dales, Moors, and beyond. 

Thoughtfully converted to an exceptional standard, The Stables offers generous accommodation for up to 4 guests. Both bedrooms feature luxurious king-size beds, cosy throws, and characterful decor. Downstairs, a relaxing lounge with a smart TV and feature fireplace invites cosy evenings in, while the well-equipped kitchen-diner upstairs makes self-catering effortless and sociable. 

Step outside to your private courtyard, complete with outdoor dining area, BBQ, and fire pit – perfect for balmy summer evenings. Beyond the courtyard, guests enjoy access to expansive shared gardens and private parking for two cars. Part of Hutton Mount Retreats, this cottage shares its setting with another lovingly curated holiday home (The Himba), making it ideal for groups travelling together but wishing to retain their own space.
