The stand-out features were definitely the level of service and quality of food. The breakfasts were delicious - the best of any hotel we've stayed in. The experience was let down slightly by the accommodation, which wasn't by any means a five-star room. There were signs of mould around the windows, the bathroom hadn't been thoroughly cleaned prior to our arrival, and the general decor was faded and worn. This was a real shame, since the main guest areas of the hotel were immaculately presented.

lovely stay at the wild boar. The room was clean and nice and bright. Extremely comfy massive bed. nice decor. food was excellent. very friendly efficient staff The only criticism I would have is that the door sort of dropped when it was opened and you had to lift it up to shut it and the shower curtain needed changing. i would stay again but probably upgrade my room option
