Good size room, but furthest one away from bar \ restaurant. It was an accessible room which wasn't what i booked, but it was very quiet after some patrons going out to back for late smokes. Got a warm welcome when checking in, & there were good drink options, although surprised at how early the bar closed. Breakfast was excellent & well presened. Would recommend friends & family to stay there if cisiting the area. Only disappointing thing was the room rate was reduced by £10 the day after we booked, and although it said free cancellation up to 24 hours before, but when i tried it said I would lose all money if cancelled.

This was the second time to visit The Blue Boar. They had a problem beyond their control in that the boiler broke so we had three dsys with no hot water . The rest of our stay was great . Steve front of house manager was great and keeps things running like clockwork. Lucas the barman is an asset to the establishment what an absolutely nice person . We were wonderfully greated by Roxy a waitress who remembered us from our previous stay . All in all a great three day's and I'm sure in time we will return .

Nice country pub/restaurant with rooms. Rooms are comfy the bathroom is modern the rooms quaint. Onsite parking and car charging for those with EVs. Food is good evening menu variety was an eclectic menu of À la carte, Indian food and pub classics. A new one in my experience. Breakfast was ok. Would stay again when back in the area.

Very disappointing. A lovely character property but a dire stay. Upon arrival we were told unapologetically that the boiler wasnt working and were unable to have a hot shower. Our evening meal was quite pleasant but service was very slow. Breakfast was dreadful with an apple being the only fruit offering. No apologies upon leaving summed up the attitude of the staff
