Bill, France

Richard, United Kingdom

We stumbled across this little gem whilst visiting Stratford. We initially stayed for an evening meal with friends - which was wonderful. We returned to stay a couple of nights for bed and breakfast and were not disappointed. The rooms are immaculately clean - bright and spacious. The staff were all very helpful and knowledgable. The food is excellent - good size portions - well cooked and great variety. I would happily stay again and recommend.

Helen, United Kingdom

Staff

With comfortable, well-equipped accommodations, traditional charm and attractive original features, the Blue Boar represents the best of an old English country pub, where traditional values and atmosphere still survive.

The oldest parts of the inn date back to the early 1600s and records show that there has been an alehouse on this site since that time. The bar is filled with authentic original character and history, with pictures on the wall, original documentation and memorabilia complementing the charming open fire and original flagstones. For the past 5 centuries, the Blue Boar has been welcoming guests in to enjoy its warm and friendly atmosphere.

Experience the Blue Boar’s historic past and stay in one of the attractive and well equipped rooms with private bathrooms. The rooms have all of the modern comforts and facilities you need, while many still retain impressive original features, such as wooden beams and stone walls.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 8 for a two-person trip.

눉Directions, VERY difficult to find. The directions on Booking.com not clear at all. Nos signposts etc and the address is OUTSIDE Alcester, a few miles away in fact! We had to telephone the Blue Boar for directions.
눇Fabulous people, Fabulous accomodation, Fabulous breakfast, Fabulous place!!

“Pleasant stay at the Blue Boar Inn”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Double Room
- • Stayed 2 nights
눉The rooms were clean and comfortable, but it was the attention to detail that was lacking. The Bathroom light did not work, once the bulb was changed it broke again, soon realized that a tap on the light fitting fixed the problem. The shower tray was blocked so the next person had to wait for the tray to drain before it could be used. Toilet one color toilet set another ! -
눇Very nice Bar and restaurant situated in the countryside.

“Could recommend the food but not the Hotel”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Double Room
- • Stayed 3 nights
눉On My booking confirmation it said the room had wooden beams stone walls and a private bathroom. Our room was small with no beams or stone walls and the smallest shower room only just big enough!!!! the water didn't drain away from the shower tray so you had to wait 30/40 mins before the next person could shower.
눇Food was very nice

“Disappointing”
- • Leisure trip

- • Double Room
- • Stayed 2 nights
눉The service, our breakfast server was keen to tell us what he had for breakfast ( coffee and cigarettes). We were offered a choice of cooked breakfast or not. There was no hot water on either morning, had to shower in cool. When asked if it was cheaper to have a glass or buy a bottle of Prosecco the barman suggested we buy champagne!
눇Location, some of the period features, flagstones and well/pond

“Maybe it's all about the location ...?”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Double Room
- • Stayed 1 night
눉Small + muggy double room with no air-conditioning. Located next to A road = results in loads of road noise. Shower did not drain - so tray filled up. Adequate rather than splendid English breakfast. A little overpriced for what you receive, unless it's all about location.
눇Lovely Cotsworld setting.

“Good comfortable rural pub.”
- • Leisure trip

- • 2 rooms
- • Stayed 1 night
- • Submitted from a mobile device
눉No fault of the Blue Boar, but I would suggest not using the postcode to GPS navigate here! We ended up in the middle of a cornfield, and the farmer told us that another car load of prospective Blue Boar guests had done the same the day before!! The GPS worked fine if searching by street address. The photo which pops up on Booking.com is not that of the pub, but a nearby stately home, in case you are expecting something more imposing after your booking.com search!
눇Comfortable beds in a reasonably spacious room. Good shower pressure, though hard not to end up with a puddle on the floor! Large English breakfast. Good ales. We didn't eat here, but the food looked tasty as we walked through.

“OK... Lots to consider.”
- • Business trip

- • Single Room
- • Stayed 2 nights
눉Whilst WiFi was included, this was incredibly slow when connected, and that's if connection was even possible. In the room I was staying, I couldn't even access this. I was also concerned that this was an unsecured network. Not something I would be happy to use anyway. Might I suggest investing into an improved service, and have this secured - providing a password wouldn't be particularly difficult. The bathroom is dated, and could really do with an update. The walls/ceiling were not in the best of shape. Even a lick of paint would help here. Breakfast was decent, although I found it strange that nobody was around to great you. This would have been helpful, as when I first came down, no-one was around, except for a couple other guests. It would have been nice to have been asked how I wanted my eggs also. I was presented with a single fried egg, when perhaps scrambled would have been more to my taste. Its these little things that make a big difference. I noticed on my second night that the bedding had some holes in. So is obviously well used. I would recommend checking these before using them, and replacing what has become worn. After all, nothing lasts for ever.
눇The room was a good size, and well presented.
