We have just spent our third Christmas break at this venue and cannot fault the comfort, food, and friendly staff - plus the whole package from Christmas Eve to 27th Dec. is terrific value. Relaxed atmosphere but plenty of chances to dress up, with live music and a Dinner Dance on Boxing night. Don't understand the comments by some visitors about the rooms - ours, number 19, was clean, comfy and spacious with every facility.
We'll be back!

Just returned from a weekend break at the Boar's Head.

The weekend consisted of 2 nights stay, 2 breakfasts and 2 evening meals.

This was our second visit and we found the service very good and the food excellent.
The hotel had a couple of 'do's' on over the weekend but this in no way affected our stay.
The only negative, as commented on several times by other reviewers, were the bedrooms which were 'tired' and bathroom which was in need of a refurbishment - definately 2*. (Drinks in the main bar were expensive.)

Set in great countryside I would recommend and stay again for a relaxing weekend.

Any queries please drop me a line.

A much looked forward to family gathering was spoilt by very poorly cooked and presented food that evening and a most uncomfortable night's stay.
We were asked to have our pre dinner drinks in the residents' bar but there was no one to serve us for a considerable time. The meal itself was dreadful....I hope it was just a bad day for the chef because I really can't believe that we were eating in the same place as previous reviewers of this restaurant.
Our bedroom was large but with dated furnishings, a stained table and damaged bedside table. There was considerable noise from people walking around in the room above us and it was impossible to ignore the noise of the traffic from the busy, fast road nearby.
It was one of the worst mattresses that I have ever slept on. it was sagging in the middle and noisy each time either of us moved. Looking at earlier reviews, it seems that this was highlighted with the Hotel staff a long time ago but clearly no action taken. Other members of our group had similar experience of discomfort and we would suggest that the management replace these cheap/? old mattresses without delay. I can find little to recommend a stay here.

I have stayed at this hotel several times now as it is a firm favourite with my grandparents. The hotel itself is nothing to write home about, the rooms and bathrooms are basic and perhaps a little on the chintzy side. However the restaurant is amazing. There is a wide array of exquisite dishes, perfectly cooked and delivered with some of the best service i ahev ever experienced.

I also made use of the beauty spa where i had a lovely back and neck massage. The beauty spa is small, but functional.
