Staff are brilliant. Was able to check in sooner 1PM instead of 3PM because was attending a wedding nearby. Room was a bit pricer. The Bathroom smelt a very dampish / musty. Great staff but room was a bit pricey.

Superb hotel, friendly staff, modern decor and comfortable rooms. The smoke house and grill serve exceptional food - perfect for a celebration or treat. Ideally located for Bowness, Windermere and Kendal and is also dog friendly with a good walk in the wild boar woods. Have been here a few times and never disappoints.

There were six of us, three couples, staying from Thursday to Sunday. We have stayed here previously and hoped our companions would experience the same standards we had enjoyed on our last stay. Not one of us was disappointed. Good accommodation, good food and drink and very pleasant staff to boot. Weather was also stunning which was an added bonus.... More

I have just returned from my second stay at the Wild Boar in as many months. This is the best hotel in the Lake District in my opinion, made even better by the amazing staff.

We stayed at the Wild Boar on the 20th May for a short break away and loved it! The food was outstanding as always and we had a lovely relaxing evening (even though the connect4 was pretty competitive). The giant copper bath in one of the rooms is still a wonder to be seen and we're looking forward to sampling... More

My boyfriend and I came here as a 30th birthday treat for him. On arrival, we were upgraded to a feature room which was lovely. We ate in the restaurant on the first night, both choosing house smoked cuts of meat. Although not cheap, it was certainly a lovely treat!
