I found a room advertised on laterooms.com for a double bed with private bathroom. Originally priced at £65 but with a special offer of £15 off bringing the price down to £50. When trying to book through laterooms online, a message indicated that the booking needed to be made with the hotel directly. I called up the blue boar and... More

Dear Madam, Thank you for taking the time to review the Blue Boar. I am sorry that you feel you had a bad experience in booking a room but perhaps I can explain the situation again. Laterooms do not sell rooms independently of hotels, the hotels themselves manage discounts and number of rooms available to Laterooms. The discounted price you... More

After spending a few days trawling the web and finding nothing but overpriced B&B’s and hotels in Norwich I finally found The Blue Boar, and what a good find it was! We stayed for 1 night. The room was spacious, clean and tidy with a firm bed, large TV... More

Although from the outside The Blue Boar Inn doesn't look like anything special, the staff and services provided were great. We stayed there for one night with two small children and it was just what we needed. The rooms were spacious and the restaurant downstairs served lovely food! We went to BeWILDerwood the next day and it was around a... More

We had an excellent stay at the Blue Boar. It was very clean, airy, bright, very well stocked with tea coffee etc. and had a well stocked mini-bar. The staff were totally wonderful and breakfast was very good. It is unusual for us to find accommodation that exceeds our expectations!! We will certainly return when we next visit Norwich. Thank...

Been here twice this last week! Once on an evening where our party took over the conservatory, and once for my work's Christmas meal at lunchtime. Both times the food was excellent, piping hot and plenty of it, the staff attentive and polite and the price very reasonable. All in all two lovely visits - will definitely be going back!

A large group of us took over the conservatory for our annual christmas meal out. The service was first class, the waiting staff were attentive and very pleasant. The meal itself was absolutely delicious, very hot and the vegetables were still crunchy! The price was very good for three courses plus coffee, and we were made to feel very welcome.... More
