The reception area and lounge were wonderful - especially with log fires roaring. The restaurant was superb and the food was first class. However we had rooms at the back of the building in the ugly extension which totally spoilt the point of staying in an olde worlde pub. Rooms were very noisy (walls extremely thin), no door on wardrobe, mould on bathroom walls and no net curtains in bathroom (ground level looking directly out on to the car park). Really spoilt the whole experience.

Stayed for my birthday, got room at reduced price £64.00.
Bed very comfortable and room (14) decent size, had door to outside but no key (previous occupant had taken it home with them)
Bathroom very small, nicely decorated but only a shower which had no power so just trickled!
Had meal in restaurant which was attractive and had a nice bar.
Chose slow roasted belly of wild boar for main course which was pork fat with crackling on top and about one small mouthful of meat, this was served with mash and cabbage and cost
£16.00. My husband enjoyed his salmon .
Breakfast was very nice, on the whole we quite enjoyed our night away but shower was a problem and my meal a bit disappointing.
Send off for a relish card before you go and get discount on food.
Hotel not suitable for people with walking problems as lots of stairs.

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, it was clear the place was in a very poor state of repair. The carpets were tatty loose and a trip hazard. This was however luxury compared to our room which was located next to the rear carpark.

Conveniently all of the leaflets were placed on the wall next to our door, allowing all of our converstaion to be heard as well as all of the conversations of the visiting American groupoutside our door.

The room was filthy and had not been hoovered as there was grit on the floor throughout. The room was tiny with just enough room for one person to walk to the bathroom at any one time.

The wall paper on ceiling was peeling off and the poorly painted wallpaper on the walls was marked and torn. The carpets were freyed and poorly fitted and made the room look even darker. It was a bright day but the light had to be put on at all times.

The TV was not tuned in and some channels were blank and others unwatchable.

The bathroom was clean and in good order except the shower which was cold and a mere drizzle. The glass in the bathroom window appeared to be held in by some filthy chewing gum type substance. The bedroom window was frosted and let in little light. When both the bathroom and bedroom window were open they faced into a private garden with a childrens play area, this gave no privacy when the windows were open.

The tiny wardrobe was also dirty and had marks and chips out of it, the wall behind was some type of tongue and groove wood affair, that looked miss placed.

The double bed was a good size but made up of two mattresses one soft one hard leading to a very poor night sleep followed by aching in the morning.

The crowning glory of the room was the noise from the paper thin rooms, we were subjected to a full night of buffalo type snoring from the room next door.

The evening meal was good if expensive, however my girlfriends vegitarian meal was a cop out nut cuttlet disguised as a vegitarian roast.

Staff were both polite and helpfull.

All in all very poor value for money. I do not know how a 4 star rating was obtained, this is more 2 to 3 star accomodation.

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 extraction fan sounding noisy, and a poor view. We asked for the original room back immediately and oddly enough we both thought that room was without any doubt far better. the view, the bed position, and the bathroom standard. So if your offered an upgrade always compare. The food was very nice but the menu was not very extensive and would only suffice for a couple of days stay. The lounge and log fire made for a very romantic after dinner cosy spot. where we could both crash out and enjoy the bottle of wine we bought. The breakfast in the morning was very nice with a small buffet and a menu to choose from. The service was excellent as it was the evening before for our dinner. Some renovation to the rooms and corridoors would do this hotel a big favour but in general id be happy to go there again and stay a night or two.
