Historic coaching inn on the Ripley Castle Estate in Harrogate
Amenities
The Boar's Head offers complimentary access to Ripley Castle gardens and grounds for all guests. On-site activities include archery and escape rooms, plus a tour or class about local culture. The hotel has two restaurants, a bar, a coffee house on site, a rustic beer garden, and a shared lounge with fireplace.
Rooms
The hotel has 23 individual bedrooms, including dog-friendly rooms in the courtyard with bowls, treats, and a rug-style bed. Rooms in Birchwood House offer a separate sitting room and large bathtub, while Gardener's Cottage suite adds a living area. Guests should book dog-friendly rooms directly as availability is limited, with a dog charge of £20 per night.
Dining
Two restaurants serve seasonal menus that highlight high-quality local produce, with options like steak and ale pie, ox cheeks, cauliflower steak, and Yorkshire breakfast. The bar offers a separate menu with pub classics such as fish and chips, plus a selection of wine, champagne, and local ales. Special diet menus are available, and the hotel can accommodate allergy-free and kosher requests with advance notice.
Location
Situated in the centre of Ripley village, the hotel is a short walk from Ripley Castle and its gardens, which are free for guests. The Nidderdale Way long-distance walking path passes directly by the hotel, and the Yorkshire Dales are a short drive away. Harrogate town center is a 10-minute bus ride, with stops right outside the hotel.
Pet-Friendly
A limited number of dog-friendly rooms are available in the courtyard, each supplied with pet bowls, a pet basket, and a rug-style bed. The hotel charges £20 per dog per night and asks guests to call directly to confirm availability. Dogs are welcome in the bar area but not in the main dining room.
