Excellent stay, good food and excellent beer.

Fabulous stay apart from the white emergency exit sign inside the room, over the door-kept us both awake for most of the night. Mixed with the snoring staff member who was behind room 15 šŸ˜‚ We would return.

Friday night in Stratford.

We stayed overnight with friends in another room. Enjoyed a meal in the restaurant which was nice. Breakfast was also very enjoyable. Bar closed at 10pm although signage indicated it would be open till 11 it wasnā€™t a massive issue but why put a sign up if itā€™s not the case.

We are travelling from city to city. It is what we call a "tent room". This was "more than a tent"!!! The hotel was EXCELLENT!!! We were only there for one night, has good showers and beds and restaurant. We had supper in the restaurant (they had live music the night we were there), the breakfast was included and excellent. We would go again for one night, or many nights to explore the surrounding area.

Good quality updated pub in a rural location

Rural quiet location. Easy parking. Room was exceptional and included a double and 2 single beds in a separate attached room (evidently a family arrangement when required!). Food and drink excellent, service very good. Ambiance good in the bar/restaurant.

Definitely recommend!

Wonderful stay and the staff are both professional and friendly. Loved my dinner in the restaurant (I don't normally eat alone preferring to go to my room) however felt very comfortable to dine in the restaurant - food was EXCELLENT! Room was modern and clean with a lovely bathroom and shower. Bonus for me was the electric car charging - made my return trip much easier.

A lovely building and covered outdoor space, Superior Double room was small and a very small shower room. Should have booked a king... staff grumpy except two your staff and the older lady on the first evening. On a busy road which didnā€™t quietened until 1pm. Sound seemed to travel from the corridor (had people screaming on the second night) and the adjoining rooms.

Our only problem was our room window had a Venetian blind and there was a major building flood light next to our window that kept us awake on night one as it didnā€™t go off till 3am. We covered the blind for night two. Easy fix would be a thick curtain over the window and blind. Otherwise great place and great food.

From arrival were welcomed & shown to our room which was excellent. Very clean. Meals were also excellent with a good choice of menu. It didn't help only having a short stay as we would have liked to sample more from the menu. Breakfast was perfect & cooked to order. Staff were friendly & very helpful. The outside area was well kept with beautiful flowers, a lovely tranquil area for quiet contemplation. Would definitely recommend this hotel & will definitely be going again.

Disappointing

Stayed here whilst attending the nearby Midlands Air Festival. The rooms are generally prefixed with the word ā€œsuperiorā€ but thereā€™s nothing superior about them. The room that we had was small, noisy (facing the road) and the bed was extremely uncomfortable - the mattress was clearly worn out and you could feel the springs through it. Not somewhere that weā€™ll be returning to

Very enjoyable stay

We enjoyed our stay at the Blue Boar. The staff were very friendly, the room was comfortable and large. The restaurant had an excellent selection of very good meals. Breakfast was good although a little early for us, it was served from 7 to 8.30. Overall we would recommend it. Very convenient for the park and ride into Stratford.

Hidden gem

Spent two nights at The Blue Boar - superb location. Mattress on first night a bit uncomfortable but moved to a second room for next night, which was excellent. Ate in restaurant on last evening and Indian platter was a revelation, which weā€™d recommend. Will certainly be going back.
