    Mattress was lumpy and bumpy. We had to get a replacement towel because ours was dirty when we arrived (but this was provided with no hassle). When we got there they'd put us in a twin and a double room despite booking twins, however they corrected this when we realised.

    The location was perfect, on a road but very quiet. We sat out in the garden and then inside the pub for hours Saturday evening. Food was yummy and nice range of drinks. Bathroom was newly refurbished, shower was great.

    Lovely breakfast - full English was served and there was a choice of some cereals too. The room was clearly recently refurnished and was lovely and the bathroom was really nice. Bed was a double and the mattress a little too soft but that's personal choice. Lovely place, full of character.

    The traffic speeding on what is a country road just alongside the property , is noisy and possibly dangerous for animals and pedestrians.

    Slightly noisy late at night from guests up & down the corridor. Some breakfast items had ran out.

    The pub itself is spotless, warm & welcoming! Staff were very pleasant, evening meal was sooo good, the waiter who served us was so very pleasant. Our room was very comfortable & roomy! Great to see bottled water too!

    We loved it all . there was live music one night, which unfortunately we missed due to such a busy day in Stratford upon avon .yet we did not hear a thing from our room.out of our 3days the only time there was some noise from the downstairs bar was on the Saturday night some of the locals was a little loud & could be heard from our room above our tv ,but it all went quiet at 11.30pm.also tv speaker was distorted but to be fair to the managment we never reported it. but im sure they would have replaced the tv if they had been notified.

    We had a wonderful time at the blue boar. fantastic location beautiful setting & ambiance. The food was superb.out door seating area with heating & music & very friendly efficient staff team.

    Needs a little bit of updating in rooms and stairwell but balance that with a very reasonable £60 for bed AND breakfast with toiletries in room.

    Close to the venue I was at next day. Good value for money. Tasty dinner if a bit pricey. Very obliging owner/manager served me dinner even tho I arrived just after kitchen closed. Very tasty breakfast.

    Stairs were awkward to climb as it's an old building. Breakfast was plentiful, but I didn't like the seasoning on everything, so I just had cereal and toast. We had an evening meal on Saturday, very busy, and it was really noisy. The lady did apologise for it being so noisy, but it wasn't her fault.

    Very clean and comfortable room. Accommodation and the restaurant were really good. Perfect for Stratford-upon-Avon and sightseeing.

    Check in time was 14:00. After a long journey we arrived at 15:30, were given a room key, went to the room but it was not ready and we were told by the cleaner it would be between 1-2 hours before we could go in. Initially we were not compensated in any way and were not very happy, but afer pursuing this with bar staff and then the manager we were offered another room which was bigger and better, but did have to still wait around 45 minutes.

    This is a delightful traditional country pub. The bedrooom and bathroom were very clean, comfortable and well equipped. The evening meal in the restaurant was excellent, as was breakfast. Great value for money. Despite the issue with the room not being ready upon arrival, we are prepared to assume this is a one-off and would still recommend this property for all the good things it has to offer.

    We were greeted by a really friendly member of staff when we checked in however there was no one around to check us out in the morning, except one staff member (we assumed the manager by his attire) who left the restaurant area when he saw we came in. We had to leave the room key just on the bar and leave as we had somewhere else to be.

    The room was clean and cosy with fantastic bathroom facilities. The overall feel of the hotel was so lovely, we definitely want to return and have dinner in the restaurant too!
