St Wilfrids Loft

St Wilfreds loft is one of the best places we have stayed, spotless, comfortable, well equipped and has the added bonus of off road parking close to Ripon centre.

There are plenty of books, games and DVD should you wish to have a night in after a long day. Wendy and Phil gave us clear instructions for our arrival and we received a message on the day of arrival for early check in, thank you both so much for letting us stay in your wonderful place.

Once inside this property it certainly has the wow factor.

It is beautifully appointed. The open plan lounge/diner/kitchen is bright and airy and the furnishings are modern and very comfortable. We didn’t use the bedroom on the lower floor, except to leave out bags in and us it as a sort of dressing room, but it was lovely and bright. The bathroom has a bath and this was very welcome after a day out and about. The access to the main bedroom is via a stunning spiral staircase. It is quite narrow so some people might find it tricky (hence leaving our large bags downstairs). The bedroom itself is gorgeous. The bed comfortable and the room very light and airy. The ensuite was great with a lovely shower. We both thought long and hard about this property and neither of us could fault it. It has everything you could need on a stay away. There are stairs to the property from the main door but this wasn’t a problem. Very close to the town (5 mins walk and you are on the Main Street). Lots to see and do and some lovely eating places too. Thank you Wendy and Phil, your place is amazing. We loved it.

St Wilfreds apartment was so much more than we expected.

It was spacious and beautifully presented. There was everything and more that we needed as far as facilities were concerned. We really appreciated the quality of the towels and all the toiletries etc provided. The apartment was very close to the town centre and all of Ripons tourist attractions.

Lovely apartment, finished to a really high standard & spotlessly clean.

Everything was provided for a comfortable stay, and some lovely extra touches as well. Ripon & the cathedral were just a short walk away, and Fountains Abbey a short drive. Ripon itself is a lovely place with lots of independent shops & cafes. We would definitely recommend the area & in particular St.Wilfreds Loft :)

We had a lovely few days in this very comfortable and well equipped apartment situated in a great location in the centre of Ripon.

There is a Tesco store 2 minutes walk away and many other shops, pubs and restaurants within 10-15 minutes walk. There's so many places to visit in the surrounding area that we didn't find time to properly explore Ripon itself so we are planning to revisit St. Wilfrids Loft in the not too distant future. I must add that the owner Phil was easy to contact and quickly sorted out the minor problem we had.

What a lovely apartment.

Everything we could wish for, and more, was provided. It was all so beautifully clean, comfortable and obviously well cared for - a real home from home. Its close proximity to Ripon centre meant that we didn’t need to move the car from the designated parking spot all weekend and yet we could explore Ripon, its history and some lovely local eateries and bars.

Lovely accommodation, very well equipped, probably the best equipped we have stayed in.

Thoughtful design touches that help day to day life ! It was clean and provided with a nice starter pack of milk, coffee etc Close to Tesco and the town centre, so leave the car in the space provided. Two flights of stairs outside and spiral stairs within the accommodation but easily negotiated if you are fit and able. Would certainly recommend and hopefully we will return.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful apartment located within a few minutes walk to the centre of Ripon.

On site parking was a real bonus. The apartment is immaculate, extremely comfortable and is incredibly well kitted out with everything you need for a great holiday and we can definitely recommend it. The owners had thoughtfully provided milk, biscuits, tea coffee and a few cooking items. Thank you for a great stay.

What a great stay in St Winefreds Loft apartment No 8.

Lovely and clean apartment, everything you need. Very quiet and peaceful. Great wide bay, allocated parking slot. Great location 5 mins walk to Ripon Market Square with a great selection of shops, bars / pubs and restaurants for all tastes. Supermarket 2 minutes walk for groceries Lovely stay with friends Will come again John, Julie, Geoff and Lynda February 2026

everything was provided which was lovely ,road noise for use an issue,no black out blind in down stairs bedroom, oven very dirty ,had fumes coming off it when we used it.

A great apartment, really comfortable and well equipped and in a perfect location for exploring Ripon and its surroundings.

Particularly loved the walks from the door over to Fountains Abbey and along the canal. Would definitely go back!

Fantastic accomodation, Would definitely stay again and have no hesitation in recommending to friends and family.

Top Notch !

Wow, what a gem of a find.

Location is in the centre of Ripon with parking. Flat is immaculate. Warning the stairs to the upstairs room are spiral, there are hand rails and it is tight so may struggle to take luggage upstairs. However, once upstairs you don’t need to come back down. There is a coffee machine upstairs which is a lovely little bonus. The bed is quite low and the mattress is very soft, just beware also that it is only a double so it’s nice and snug . The Wi-Fi isn’t the strongest but tbh it’s nice to go back to conversations. We will be going back, the weather wasn’t great when we were there but tbh there’s still loads to see and do.

Great location and lovely apartment with everything you need - nice welcome pack and amenities.

The loft conversion offers really good extra space. A little traffic noise can be heard but didn’t affect us. Owners very nice when we spoke with them. Would recommend and return!

A very well appointed apartment right in the heart of Ripon.

Immaculately clean with a gorgeous master bedroom with the quirky stairs up to it. Neither my partner nor I could fault anything about the apartment and we will come back to this lovely little place again.

The apartment was amazing, very stylishly decorated with everything you could possibly need there.

The location was excellent too, only a short walk to the town centre.

Great apartment in a fantastic location with parking!

What more could you want for break in lovely Ripon? With all the shops and great choice of eateries within 5 minutes walk this place is a real find. Easy to get out and explore everything that North Yorkshire has to offer. Highly recommended!

St.

Wilfred's Loft proved to be an ideal base for our short break. The apartment was well presented, well equipped and most importantly was clean and comfortable. The bedding and towels were good quality and toiletries were provided. An added bonus was it's location being just a short walk from the shops, bus station and Cathedral. We wouldn't hesitate to recommended this accommodation unless you need to avoid stairs ( there are approximately 30 but it wasn't an issue for us)

St Wilfred's loft was brilliant, in all ways, immaculately clean.

Being (older) people we found the beautiful looking sofa not so comfortable, but that was due to our age and lack of flexibility!! In reality probably a property for slightly younger people, we, four of us range from 75-80years old. We all managed the two flights of stairs up to the property, bit puffed after carrying luggage up and down. Very well situated in Ripon, literally five minutes from some good shops restaurants etc.

very good

Superb apartment.

The owners have thought of everything to make it home from home.The standard is extremely high at St Wilfrids Loft and our stay there was very comfortable In a great place so near to the city centre and having its own designated parking space meant we used the car very little Would recommend it without a doubt

A wonderfully equipped delightful apartment.

Thanks for the kind touches that often aren't found - soap, shower gell, shapoo, biscuits - even bubble bath !!

St Wilfred’s loft had everything and more for our stay.

Great location in a quiet street minutes from the city centre. Spotlessly clean, bright and airy and the loft bedroom was just brilliant. We will definitely look to stay here again when visiting Ripon.

Great location.

Easy Parking ( especially considering the narrow streets round there) However, it doesn't get five stars because - the main settee is totally inappropriate for the flat. Much too 'deep' and impossible to get comfortable in. - there are a fair few minor maintenance snags, some in relation to the restrictors on the windows in the lounge. These need restoring to full efficiency straightaway as if someone pushes past up they are going to end up falling out and will sue. Finally the lack of any welcome pack whatsoever is just sloppy. It does what it says and makes guests feel welcome. Merely a packet of fig rolls is a coded message for ' we've got your rent - get on with it.'

Fabulous apartment with huge en-suite loft space.

The whole apartment is spacious & comfortable. The owners have thought of EVERYTHING, anything you could need is there. Allocated parking space a real bonus. Would stay again in a heartbeat.

Well equipped, centrally located, with off road parking - what’s not to like about that combination?

We used the property as a base for local walks and driving to various tourist attractions in the region.

Thank you for a wonderful week in Ripon!

The apartment was incredibly comfortable, excellently located and the car parking space well valued. Ripon had much to offer the whole family, meaning that we did not get as far afield as we had planned. That said, where we did get out the location proved to be an excellent base.

great accomodation lots info about appliances parking very easy shops 5 mins walk lots to see in the surrounding area will reccomend to family and friends

Clean, comfortable.

Well equipped and very central in Ripon.

A really wonderful property which DID live up to expectations from the description (not always the case we have found!

) Couldn't really find any negatives and would definitely stay here again. Many thanks to the owners and to the team at Sykes.

It's a great property warm, comfy beds and a well stocked kitchen.

It's in a great position with parking on site and a easy walk into Ripon centre.

St Wilfred's loft is perfectly placed so as to explore Ripon and the surrounding countryside.

The property is uplifting to walk into being light and bright and airy, tastefully decorated and well appointed. The owners, Phil and Wendy really do care about giving their guests the best possible experience for their visit and they are just on the end of the phone to answer any questions, in a very helpful and friendly manner. Whilst in Ripon don't miss the blowing of the horn every evening at 9pm, in the market square, under the obelisk, by the Ripon Horn Blower, as it has been performed for over a thousand years, dating back to the time of King Alfred. And during the day the Wakeman Cafe, an ancient building in the corner of the market place, associated with the Wakemen, as the Horn Blowers used to be called, is a delicious experience. We enjoyed Ripon very much which was full of warm hearted northern hospitality, it was well worth the journey up from Surrey, and we would love to return.

So pleased we found St Wilfrids Loft!

Clean and homely. Both practical and luxurious accessories. The biscuits and coffee were a thoughtful touch :-) Will definitely return and recommend. Thank you!

Lovely property, great location, ideal for a trip to Ripon with bonus of a parking spot.

Thank you for the lovely biscuits and great information.

St Wilfred’s Loft is beautiful.

Stylish, warm, quiet, comfortable and so very clean. It has everything you could need during your stay, and it’s in a great location, only minutes, for all the lovely shops, cathedral and eateries, didn’t use my car all week. If you book, you won’t be disappointed. Hosts made contact with me, and easy key access. Everything was just perfect. Thank you Wendy for sharing your lovely home from home, also, thanks to the cleaning staff (who often get forgotten when the praise is given out). They obviously take the greatest pride in their work as the apartment was spotless.

Excellent accommodation, furnished to a high standard, everything u need is there and the second bedroom is extremely spacious.

Brilliant for solo travellers, couples or ideal for two couples as both bedrooms are private and the second bedroom has an En-suite which is in addition to the full size bathroom with over shower.I The parking space is a good plus and it's only five to ten minute walk into Ripon where you can even catch the bus into Harrogate that runs every 30 minutes. Definitely stay here again if I'm back in the area.
