Lovely feeling in the inn and room, nicely decorated and first impression was of how inviting it looked, but this changed somewhat when we spent more time in the room. The lack of curtains and ill fitting blinds meant we were woken up with the direct sunlight every morning which really impacted our stay. There were also numerous stains on the furniture and carpets, which while I’m sure they were cleaned were very visible. The significant limescale build up on the shower head made the shower unappealing, while functional. The people and service were lovely though!

Nice pub but the rooms need a bit of work. The blinds are terrible so you are kept awake by the outside lights and then woken up by the sun in the morning. The mattress was also terrible. Nice breakfast and the pub is lovely.

We generally had a good stay at The Blue Boar. It is an attractive building in a lovely, quiet location. The room was clean and good and the food in the evening was well cooked. Breakfast was a bit limited, with no fresh fruits, but was otherwise OK. Our only criticism was that our ( premier!!) room was above the kitchen and we were a bit disturbed by two loud humming noises from there overnight, one of which was constant and the other intermittent. Other rooms, in different places, probably wouldn't have been affected.

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.
