Ideal Location

Very good stay . Lovely location, great staff and friendly and professional service. Only disappointment is the breakfast time 0700-0830 during the week. Nice when relaxing on a break to lie in and enjoy breakfast a little later

Great value, food and accommodation

Stop over after a family occasion. Excellent value and great rooms. Food in the restaurant was great and traditional as well as an Indian selection. Breakfast was good in the morning although it was from 7 - 8.30. A bit early and doable.would definitely stay again.

A lovely charm about the Blue Boar, staff were friendly and welcoming, a real feel of a country pub! The room was a little basic but cosy and comfortable, and well maintained.

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 😂 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 wasn’t a massive issue but why put a sign up if it’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.
