The Wild Boar

The afternoon tea was amazing. Every hot item was hot and beautifully cooked, so much choice and just the right amount of each & for two people to share! The cheese cake was divine & the scones were so light & fluffy. If you like beer/ lager you get 3 small glasses or 1 glass of Prosecco , for none drinkers there is a Hugo spritz included , as much yea or coffee as you like, but other drinks off the menu are extra. The staff were efficient & tentative.

Loved our stay for my husband's birthday. The property is beautiful, a quaint country inn. The food is phenomenal - we had dinner and the alternative afternoon tea. We also got to do some of the onsite activities which were fun. Would definitely recommend a visit here!

Went for few drinks and a meal at lunch time before a weekend in bowness very friendly staff nice choice of beers having a micro brewery on site food was lovely will visit again next time I visit the lakes.had the lamb chops would recommend them but all the meals looked amazing.

I would give the bedroom a 3, and restaurant a very good 4/5, so overall it is a 4. Stayed in a twin bedroom, check in was easy and friendly. Bedroom cleanliness let it down, sink was dirty and cracked, bath the same. Mattess was split into singles right next to each other. However, mattress protectors were just laid on top of the mattress, not on properly. When I tried to put them on, they were too small, mattress under was stained with lots of various shapes of hair. Bedding was lovely and fresh. Dinner and breakfast were great, such lovely staff both times, very accommodating if a dish needed adjusting. Breakfast had lots of lovely touches like own honey and sourdough bread, fresh croissant and delicious looking muffins. Hotel itself is in a peaceful location eventhough just off the road, lovely building too. Nice touches like umbrellas and wellies at the back entrance for guests to use.

Returned from a two night stay to celebrate my wife's birthday, totally enjoyed our stay, mostly due to the staff who where not only friendly but very attentive and of course very professional in all the departments. Special thanks to Natalia, Anu, Shubham, Jacob, Janette, Meagan & Sanjay. You all were excellent keep up the good work. The food was of a high standard and enjoyed all our meals. Recommendations for anyone during your stay, book the Falcon Walk tour with Stephen in advance, it is fascinating lasts one hour and a great experience, well worth the cost. The small stairs might be a problem for persons with any disabilities, and all rooms do not have a walk in shower. All in all a very relaxing break in a great location.

ROOM At check in, we did have a bit of a disappointment at the start of our 3 night stay as the room allocated was not the one we had booked but we were moved to an acceptable, alternative room on the second day. Both rooms were generally well decorated, equipped and furnished although the first room (in the same room category) had only one visible, double socket in the whole room. FOOD The food at both breakfast and dinner, was excellent with very hearty portions. The food was fresh and generally appeared to have been sourced locally. For the trip, we were meeting up with friends we hadn't seen for a while and ordered the Beef Wellington for our "Gala" dinner on the second night. This was a hefty portion indeed and not sure how this could be consumed by only two people? However, a separate, lighter menu in the bar would have been good as alternative option, as we were not always up for a full meal on every night of a 3 night stay. STAFF All the staff we encountered in both the restaurant and reception were friendly and helpful when we needed them. FACILITIES/LOCATION There are lots of lovely open fires to sit beside and cosy corners which make the bar area and restaurant very comfortable. The hotel is also in a well placed location and we enjoyed lovely visits to Hill Top, Blackwell and Dove Cottage as well as a lovely walk, all within easy travelling distance. GENERAL EXPERIENCE Overall we had a lovely trip at the Wild Boar Estate with our friends, spoiled only by the selfish antics of the couple in the room above us on our last night. The sound proofing between Room 38 and the room above require immediate improvement as we had a very uncomfortable night’s sleep on Friday 14th/Saturday 15th March being forced to listen to the (shouting/screaming and thumping etc.) taking place in the room above. Unfortunately, not much was left to the imagination! We had nowhere else to go and being forced to listen to this until 2p.m. in the morning and again at 6:30a.m. was very disturbing. At one point, we weren’t sure if the female involved was being attacked due to the noise she was making. This is simply not acceptable and really spoiled our experience. Our friends in Room 39 were also made aware of the situation to some extent when they were in the bathroom of their room. I would be very surprised if other guests in the nearby rooms weren't aware of the situation too but, like us, probably too embarrassed/didn’t know what to do in the middle of the night?
