Really loved our stay at The Blue Boar. Enjoyed an excellent dinner in the beer garden, and the breakfast was wonderful. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. Parking was plentiful and the electric car charging station was the best and easiest we used on our travels. Would definitely stay again.

Nice country pub, was an ideal stop for us. Clean rooms, well decorated. We are in the hot period of July so the main issue was lack of aircon - fan was provided but wasn’t really powerful enough. Evening food was good, although would say my whitebait starter was very small. Overall though very positive.

Nice country pub/restaurant with rooms. Rooms are comfy the bathroom is modern the rooms quaint. Onsite parking and car charging for those with EVs. Food is good evening menu variety was an eclectic menu of À la carte, Indian food and pub classics. A new one in my experience. Breakfast was ok. Would stay again when back in the area.

Good size room, but furthest one away from bar \ restaurant. It was an accessible room which wasn't what i booked, but it was very quiet after some patrons going out to back for late smokes. Got a warm welcome when checking in, & there were good drink options, although surprised at how early the bar closed. Breakfast was excellent & well presened. Would recommend friends & family to stay there if cisiting the area. Only disappointing thing was the room rate was reduced by £10 the day after we booked, and although it said free cancellation up to 24 hours before, but when i tried it said I would lose all money if cancelled.

Lovely place to stay and eat

We had a great two night stay and enjoyed breakfast and evening meals. The menu is much better than your normal pub food and the Indian dishes are worth trying. Cannot be faulted for the comfort of the bedrooms bar and restaurant, service provided by the staff and quality of the food and drink

Great value, food and accommodation

Stop over after a family occasion. Excellent value and great rooms. Food in the restaurant was great and traditional as well as an Indian selection. Breakfast was good in the morning although it was from 7 - 8.30. A bit early and doable.would definitely stay again.
