Hotel Christmas Breaks

Boar's Head Hotel (Hotel)

Set within the magnificent Ripley Castle Estate, it has won numerous awards for its food, high levels of service and comfort. There are 25 luxury bedrooms. Its 2 AA Rosette Restaurant and Bistro both serve inspirational seasonal menus. The wine list is personally put together by Sir Thomas Ingilby. The bar is complimented by traditional brewed local ales, an invasion of Highland and Islay Malts and some fine Cognacs. All those things which used to make English feel so much at home - lumpy mattresses, discoloured walls, uncomfortable chairs and staff chosen for their ability to communicate with all the charm of a monolith are not found here. Our staff are encouraged to wear a smile and make all guests feel welcome - nothing is too much trouble. Children and well behaved dogs are welcome. There are some wonderful walks around the area and it is situated on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales - an area of oustanding natural beauty. The beautiful spa town of Harrogate is only 3 miles away. Ripley has all the perfect ingredients for a gentle stroll - art gallery, ancient church, delicatessen, historic castle, gardens and gift shop.
The menus in both the Restaurant and the Bistro are inspirational and we believe in serving meals not sculptures on a plate. You will never be bored when dining at the Boar's Head as the menus change seasonally to capture the essence of each season.
Traditionally brewed local ales and an invasion of Highland and Islay Malts ensure that whatever your tipple your memories of the Boar's Head will always be good if somewhat blurred.
