My girlfriend and I thought we would treat ourselves to a weekend away in the lakes and plumped for the famous wild boar, infamous wild boar more like. We were welcomed on our arrival in reception by the grumpiest old man in history, without raising his head from the desk he muttered "checking in". The room we were allocated was... more

I organised a Christmas Party for 25 people, I contacted the hotel direct and got an excellent rate, on arrival the staff were very helpful and friendly. All the rooms were clean, tidy and warm. The food served at the hotel was excellent and the price of drinks were reasonable. The hotel was very festive and we all enjoyed our... more

After reading some of the previous reviews, I wondered if I had made a mistake; however we had heard the food was excellent and decided to judge for ourselves. We booked via the English Lakes website and were quoted a rate of £64 per room which we... more

We have just returned from an overnight stay at this hotel. Definitely will not go there again and certainly won't recommend it to our friends colleagues. The only good thing I can say about this hotel is that the staff were very nice and willing to help. The bad things are, we were promised on booking this hotel, a room... more

Rooms were very noisy (walls extremely thin), no door on wardrobe,... more

We have just returned from a one night stay at the Famous Wild Boar Hotel. The price for B and B was over £ 100 pn, which did not bother us as it is supposed to be 4 star. On arrival the premisis looked very good from the front. However as we made our way to the room, number 24,... more

On arrival at reception to the hotel we informed the receptionist that we had booked and paid for a classic double room with breakfast.. We were offered an upgrade to the classic room that we had paid for and were not happy with the the upgraded room we were given. the bed being close to the door and the bathrooms... more

I booked this hotel for an overnight ( I wish I could have stayed longer) for a family celebration requiring six rooms. I contacted the hotel to ask for a room suitable for an elderly couple who were in our party and they met this perfectly and also ensured that all the other rooms were adjacent. The staff were pleasant... more
