A great place to stay and very comfortable - particularly given the building is around 300 years old. Diana was very warm and welcoming and made us feel very at home. We also enjoyed a lovely meal in the restaurant downstairs.

Nothing bad to say but perhaps the rooms could do with a revamp at some point but still doesn't take away how much we liked staying there.

A lovely, quirky hotel with history a plenty, we loved it! Our hosts were the warmest, friendliest people and we loved hearing the story of how the hotel came to be in their hands! The room was clean, beds comfy, shower hot and our little window looking out to the river framed the view perfectly and was spectacular at night. The shared kitchen worked well and there was plenty of cereal, bread, tea, coffee etc for a simple brekkie which was perfect. The restaurant downstairs was fantastic, definitely recommend eating there and again, the views were fab....apparentley the Sunday roast is something special.....next time we'll make sure we're there for that! Would stay here again for sure!

Didn’t stop us coming back but just an FYI it’s a quiet a quirky old building on different levels witha variety on steps and stairs. The access staircase is quite steep with narrow steps so something to consider if you’re bringing a lot of luggage or have mobility issues.

Diana is a lovely host. Property is above a very nice Italian restaurant. Due to a cancellation, as we were returning guests we were given a free room upgrade which made our stay even more comfortable. The property doesn’t do breakfast but guests have use of a full kitchen where cereal, bread, fruit juice, milk etc were all provided and being able to store food for our package lunches in the fridge was extremely helpful.

The history, the staff, the food, the location.

Nothing really, would be nice to have a few more options for breakfast but that’s about it

Nice rooms, good sized shower room, great terraced area over looking the river with a fire pit in the centre, tried the Italian restaurant downstairs and was not left disappointed, communal area good offers some breakfast cereal and toasts

if there was one negative and this was not on the hosts at all but just want to make a mention so others who stay can be bit more courteous to the other guests: the building is an older building and some of the doors to the rooms are heavy doors. We had one set of guests who would let their room door just bang close behind them instead of holding it to close it (like what we did) when they were coming in and out of their room. This was a tad annoying when they were in and out a few times in quick succession ( one time at 7am). So again not on the owners but would be nice if the other guests had thought about this.

Had a really good stay - the host Diana was very accommodating. Allowing us to arrive earlier than the stated check in time due to the early kick off on the last game of the season. We only requested to be able to park the car here and check in later but the keys and rooms were ready for our arrival. We were shown around on arrival and very informed. Also free wifi was good. Communication as well was amazing. This was a big positive for us and we really appreciated this. Rooms were clean and comfortable. We had 2 rooms Peggy Potts and Jack Crawford - both fine! We had researched the facilities so knew of the stairs (as stated in description) they were of no issue to us. It was nice to have the use of the kitchen area and the cereals/ bread provided for breakfast. The outside area just off the kitchen was nice - giving views of the riverside. We ordered a take out cake from the restaurant downstairs which was delicious and would definitely love to eat in there next time. Decor was very interesting to read - a lot of pictures showing the history of people and the place.

This was my third visit to the Boar's Head. It's clean and comfortable, overlooking the river with free parking. Five minutes walk from the city centre. Always a warm welcome from Diana & Tony.

The stairs need to be more specious.

I liked everything except the stairs, which are too narrow.

Stayed in April 2024

There wasn't anything we didn't like . The stairs to the first floor are narrow treads and may not be suitable for guests with poorer mobility but this was mentioned in the description.

Diana , the owner , met us on our arrival and showed us around the property. She was very friendly and extremely helpful. Breakfast was cereals / bread / toast / preserves etc ,which was self service in a communal kitchen. Great views over the river but sadly the weather wasn't warm enough to use the outdoor area. An Italian restaurant (Knowledge) is situated on the ground floor of the hotel which was very nice and reasonably priced.

Convenient place to stay for our purpose. Easy to find,. Good parking. Restaurant downstairs. Nice views of the river and bridges with a shortish walk into town. Clean and comfortable. Serve yourself breakfast worked OK might be more of a problem if it was busy.
