Our stay at the Blue Boar was actually an error on my part. If I'm honest the booking was an error on my part as I was supposed to book another hotel with the same name with the same street name but in another county! Online I just didn't check what I was doing before hitting the proceed button! As... More

The recent remodel really has taken the old "Marlborough" from a dated, crusty hotel/bar to a modern, contemporary, inviting place to stay. (I know, I grew up in Witney and wouldn't go near the place). The room was very clean and well appointed. Complimentary coffee/tea were provided (along with iron, iroining board and hair dryer) and a mini bar was... More

We booked a Saturday night as we were taking an elderly member of our family to stay with a friend and wanted to be close at hand. Our first problem was that on arriving at the hotel in our car we realised there was no obvious parking either attached to the hotel or close by. We found somewhere to stop... More

This was my second visit to the Blue Boar for dinner in 13 months (left it so long between visits as the first time for my husbands bithday was a huge disappointment and I wrote to the BB to let them know of our poor experience). Giving them a second chance, my friend and I entered the bar on a... More

Booked because really good rate offered but having read reviews was a bit worried what awaited us. What awaited us was stylish, warm, well equipped room with big beautifully fitted bathroom. Weather very chilly so didn't venture out but instead tried restaurant and bar. Again very agreeably surprised. Perfect attentive service, well prepared tasty food, reasonably priced wine and lovely... More

Took both sets of parents out to dinner as they had just helped us move house. We had seen the Blue Boar in passing and thought we would try it. What we had was really disappointing. I had the chicken and mushroom pasta, when it arrived it looked beautiful, I cut into a piece of chicken only to discover that... More

Booked a night at the Blue Boar as the place I wanted to stay at in Witney was fully booked. For £100 I expected a room slightly more impressive than an IKEA showroom when in fact I get a square box with a laminate floor, and the most basic of furniture you could imagine. The room felt cold, empty and... More

Having read the varied comments on the Blue Boar and having had both evening meals and breakfast here I can see both sides. I've only ever had meals here and not stayed overnight so my review is purely on the restaurant side. Breakfast - I had the full English and my wife the Vegetarian option , both were well cooked...
