The Wild Boar

Recently visited for lunch. Enjoyed the food. But disappointed to be charged so much. A service charge added to our bill for a party of 3. Also a £10 food chance charge added. Im not exactly sure what this is supposed to be. Is this a charge for not booking a table ? This made are bill go from expensive to really expensive. £90 for 2 burgers a drink and a childs fish goujons and chips. Terrible value for money.

We had s lovely stay again at the Wild Boar hotel.Lovely friendly staff welcomed us with a complimentary drink at reception and dinner was delicious.Great wine,whisky and a cracking selection of lagers and ales too.All the staff were lovely and friendly and always happy to help.The garden is a beautiful place to sit and relax,with lovely trees all around and swallows flying around.Another lovely stay.

We hadn't visited for many years but a recent two night stay proved to be a good decision. The staff were all warm and friendly, the service and food excellent and the room was very comfortable and cleaned to a high standard. Receommended.

Bought the clay pigeon shooting experience for my husbands 60th birthday. What a great experience, we both fully enjoyed it and we shot sum clays! Pete was lovely, friendly, patient and had a lot of knowledge. Lots of hints and tips too! Would definitely recommend! Thanks Jan & Ian

Our check-in experience started on a positive note: friendly, welcoming staff who were more than happy to assist, even offering to carry our bags to the room. Unfortunately, the initial good impression quickly faded once we settled in. Upon entering our room, we were immediately struck by the lack of cleanliness: dusty fixtures, cobwebs, clumps of hair on the floor, and a dirty bathroom plughole. While we initially chose to overlook these issues, things took a turn for the worse after using the shower. The bathroom flooded, and we had to call reception. To their credit, the staff responded quickly, apologized sincerely, and moved us to a new room without fuss. The second room was a noticeable improvement: spacious, modern, with a comfortable king-size bed and large windows. However, by this point, our expectations of a 5-star experience had already taken a hit. The highlight of our stay was the breakfast. The variety and quality were exceptional, offering everything from a full English to a continental buffet. The food was delicious and well-presented, and this part truly lived up to the five-star label. As we prepared to leave, we encountered several staff and maintenance workers in the hallways. While most were polite, the cleaning staff seemed disinterested and inattentive, a stark contrast to the professionalism shown by other employees and even the workmen, who were more proactive in helping us navigate blocked pathways. In summary, this hotel did not meet our expectations for a five-star experience. Cleanliness and staff training, especially in housekeeping, are areas in urgent need of attention. The food service is a standout, but it’s not enough to justify the overall price and reputation. Regrettably, I wouldn’t return. There are better options in the area with more consistent service and better value for money.

It is hard to believe that this hotel is 5 star. We checked in to room 27, very outdated and nothing like the pictures. We were met with dust, cobwebs, hairs, dirty mugs and a disgusting plug hole in the shower. The reception staff, happily changed our mugs and apologised but the worst was yet to happen. I get a shower after 5 mins the plug was blocked and the whole bathroom flooded making it extremely dangerous and slippy. We called reception to say that this wasn’t acceptable and that room was very dirty. They were great and moved us to another room, a nice modern looking room. It’s a shame that a hotel has such a big comparison in rooms. We managed to get a good night sleep with a very comfy bed. Breakfast was great, when we were sat, a surge of tables came in and other tables were served before us but we understood that these things can sometimes happen. On the way back to our new room (from breakfast) we were met with a very rude cleaner, who looked us up and down and didn’t respond to us when we spoke. After awkwardly passing through the small corridor we felt very uncomfortable. Finally, there was a lot of work being done (due to the summer season starting), but as the corridors are so small awkwardly passing work men with loads of wires just wasn’t the best. I’m currently disabled after having major knee surgery and this was a worry. Their equipment was also left over night, making it difficult to manoeuvre (also blocking a fire exit route!) Overall, we definitely wouldn’t stay here again, the staff were lovely but would choose other places to stay in the lakes next time!
