I found this idyllic place a few years ago when I was commuting by road between Aberdeen and London. I was especially pleased as my dog was always accommodated for with no worries. The woodland was fantastic for walks. I stayed again this weekend for the Kendal Mountain Festival and brought some friends who had not stayed here before. They... more

We stayed just one night at the Wild Boar and were really impressed. The room was in the old part of the hotel and was cozy and welcoming. The curtains were drawn and there were nice little touches like bottles of water and sweeties and a lovely little soft toy dog on the bed whose collar acted as a do... more

I was very impressed by the great customer service of this B&B. Everyone was so friendly and service was prompt. It has a very romantic and cozy feel. I didn't mind having a mobile phone reception even :) I highly recommend. more

We had a lovely relaxing stay at the Wild Boar. The food was wonderful with a menu to suit all tastes. My husband said that the deep fried oyster is the best started he has ever had.... priase indeed. Charlotte was a delight. She brightened up our evenings in the bar with her pleasant personality and helpful ways. Our room... more

We had a two night stay on 28th and 29th September 09.We stayed in room 9 and we were anticipating quite a high standard for the level of hotel. We were sadly disappointed with our room. It was adequate, but on the small side. The bathroom was the real let down, as it was absolutely tiny, with a caravan size... more

Dear Jel1959, Firstly please accept my apologies for the issues you encountered during your recent visit to the Lakes. Unfortunately the room you were given had not been serviced which is completely unacceptable, which was however a genuine mistake, the room had been missed by housekeeping. I am however glad that Geoff the Duty Manager, was able to find you...

We cannot fault the service, the staff were friendly and very attentive. The food was of the highest quality,altough we were on B&B we tried the restaurant on our first evening and were blown away by the variety on the menu. There were some lovely touches such as the bread board on your table with fresh bread,olives cheese and a... more

Dear BignigeBrighton Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback and the positive comments relating to the team and the food. Obviously I am disappointed that stay was spoilt by noise, we have already spoken with supplier reference delivery times and this has been sorted. With regards to the people on the field opposite as you have...

The sign of a good hotel is how the staff cope with a complaint. The staff here well and truly surpassed expectatiuons. We stayed here for our honeymoon in 1978 and this was our first re-visit. Within the first ten minutes the old adage 'Never go back' sprang to mind. The room we were allocated was dark, smelt musty, was... more

We visited for three nights in early August. On entering reception we were pleased to see the hotel looked as quaint as the photos on the website suggested. As we were early our room wasn't ready so we decided to have lunch in the dining room. We ordered the smoked salmon sandwiches which were excellent, thick crusty bread and plenty... more
