My partner and I stayed here for his birthday as a little getaway treat and we loved it! I wanted somewhere that was close to Bowness but not right in the centre and the location, pictures and food at this place are what swayed me. The staff were really friendly and accommodating and the room was beautiful and very spacious... More

We had a lovely romantic stay in this very stylish Hotel . Lovely little touches in the room and breakfast was really special. The Staff were very attentive. The whole place was relaxed but gave you the feeling of quiet luxury. Would have no hesitation in staying there again.

We stopped here en-route to Ambleside and were impressed by the quality of the food - to the extent that we went out of our way to return during our week long stay in the area. Thoroughly recommended..

A lovely hotel which we have used before. Staff very pleasant and we got a room upgrade on arrival which was very nice, but a bit more liberal use of a duster wouldn't have gone amiss in the bedroom (room 3)! Dinner was excellent, but breakfast was a terrible let-down. We both ordered the smoked haddock & poached egg which... More

What an amazing weekend break we had here! Food = We booked the hotel based on the quality of food, it was meant to be super delicious and it certainly was! 10/10 Gym/Spa = Is located at the sister hotel The Low Wood Bay at Windermere, which is a mere 10 minutes car journey. After a long day of walking... More

We have stayed at the Wild Boar for a number of years now, even before the refurbishment, it is the most relaxing place I know, the staff are very friendly, it always feels like we are coming home. The rooms and the food is to die for, I would recommend this hotel to everyone, and have done so for years.

I always judge a hotel by its initial impact but also by the way in which staff greet you. The Wild boar ticked all of the boxes warm lovely ambience and succeeded in making a perfect water with ice my special reques which reveals if people are listening to you. The room was smaller than expected and a little tired... More

What a delight to stay at the Wild Boar in the Lake District. Our family of five had two cosy, comfortable rooms in this delightfully old, rambling, traditional hotel. We just loved the ambience in the bar and restaurant areas - everything about the place is warm and inviting, and oozing history. Sensational food - one of the best breakfasts... More

very pleasantly surprised by the Wild Boar Inn. A lot of character in the building, warm welcome from the staff, lovely food. The attached forest offers nice walks. The smoked salmon (from their smoke house) was really good, as well as the lamb. I kept looking at the dishes passing by as wanted to try them all.
