My husband and I have just stayed at the Boars Head for 2 nights b and b. It was a lovely quiet room, comfy bed and lovely breakfast. As we went for long walks during the day we also chose to have our 2 evening meals there which were huge and equally delicious. The staff were welcoming and helpful. We... More

Just arrived home from a wonderful stay at The Boars Head. The rooms are very clean, warm and spacious and very unique as they are converted barns with beautiful open oak beams. The bed was perhaps the most comfy I have ever stayed in and myself and family had a fantastic nights sleep. We ate dinner and breakfast during our... More

After reading some of the reviews we were a little apprehensive about staying here. However, the service was excellent from start to finish. The room we stayed in had a single bed and a double, the mattresses were a little soft for us, however, that's our personal preference. The room was large and spacious with a good supply of tea...

Charged 80 quid for a room we expected to pay 20 for. There is no discussing legalities with the manager Darren Price as he just wont have it. I am contacting trading standards. A friend had booked this room after seeing the advent on the boars head website which clearly states 20 per night on a minimum booking of two... More

I am yet again in complete dsimay as to why we have recieved such a review. The writer of this is obviously completely mad, as he states in his review that we have rooms available at £20 for people staying two nights, but we made him pay £80! Thats quite correct we do, but you seem to have missed out... More

Whilst visiting friends we went to the Boars Head to relax in the bar after a stroll in the amazing country side. There were 8 of us all adults. We did not have a room here but went there for a drink. First impressions were good which were shortly changed but the rude staff who made us feel unwelcome. We... More

Thank you for reveiwing my property, Feed back even when it is lacking somewhat in truth is always entertaining and at times useful. You seem to have missed out the bit that your group had consumed large amounts of alcohol in only a few hours, and despite being asked politely by my bar person if you wouldnt mind moving to... More

I read the reviews before booking the family room for three adults, Im never put off by extreme negative views, as, in my opinion, the writers usually have an unreasonable axe to grind, Stuart and Darren are really nice guys and run the Boars Head very efficiently. The rooms are very clean, everything you need is provided, and if it... More

We found the place well run by friendly, helpful and pleasent people, in particular Darren and Stuart. The food was execellent, the real ale was just right, and the service was very good. The overall value was excellent, and we would have no hesitation in recommending this place to anybody.
