    Room was very comfortable, with a good sized en-suite. Breakfast was very good quality with lots of choice. We also had dinner in the bar which was very tasty and in line the price you'd expect in this more expensive part of Yorkshire.

    The unique village situation that is Ripley; the Boars Head, along with everything else in the village belongs to the Ripley Castle Estate. The location has an upmarket vibe, yet the hotel is old style comfortable that focuses on customer...
