The pricing structure at this guest house was bizarre to say the least - £60.00 for one night or £19.99 per night for 2 nights or more. It didn't make sense. Unfortunately because the stay was for only one night, the charge was £60, excluding breakfast, for one person staying. The bed so uncomfortable that you could feel all the... More

The room this gentleman is talking about is the twin room no 3, for which we have no previous complaints about, so it came as a suprise to us when my partner was presented by this gentleman at 1am in an intoxicated state complaining he could not sleep and wanted a full refund! We had to guide him back to... More

My wife and I recently booked a night at the Boars Head through Expedia. Big mistake. They did not inform them of our reservation and we arrived to find all rooms taken. Although it was no fault of the Boars Head I cannot praise enough the helpfulness of their staff who went beyond the call of duty in offering refreshments... More

Stayed at the Boars Head as we had a family wedding to attend in the area. From the moment that we arrived till the moment we left everything exceeded our expectations. The rooms were set in a converted barn over the carpark from the pub and the nice thing about it was that we had our own front door, meaning... More

Bath room disapointing entrance hall shabby as wallpaper has seen better days, apart from that good food friendly staff apart from manager who was not helpful. After staying several nights at the boars head it was apparent that this old establishment needs some tlc. If less money was being spent on flash cars and more on the actual accommodation I... More

Having ignored the one bad review we booked a two night stay. On arrival we popped into the bar for a drink before booking in. Attentivly dealt with at the bar with tasters of the real ale on offer before asking to book in. All efficiently done, but note that prior payment was requested. The room (4) was in the... More

We booked 2 rooms on the spur of the moment whilst walking through the stunning surrounding countryside. The rooms were lovely, very spacious with large en suite rooms and all the amenities you could ask for. The room was cleaned every day, with big fluffy towels in abundance and toiletries were even provided. The staff were fantastic, friendly and helped... More

I stayed here for three nights on 2-4 June as I was involved in a wedding in nearby Walcot Hall. The staff were friendly and the room perfect for my circumstances. As it is situated across the car park I could come and go as I pleased without disturbing hotel staff late at night for keys etc. The room itself... More

I booked up front for this, leaving my credit card details. We turned up when we say the room, we were really disappointed - take a look on the website... Look's like a nice enough pub? Well, the rooms are cheap port-a-cabin like boxes out in the car park. Paper thin walls and no windows (what little light there is... More

This reveiw is completely unjust, the truth is that two cyclist from the city booked a twin room with us several weeks in advance, and our cancellation policy is 7 days notice or one night chargable, on there arrival they asked to see the room before they would sign in. Our rooms are in a converted barn to one side... More
