The food at dinner was a bit too rich for me

The breakfast was delicious. The Crab and Boar is informal and friendly but also very well run.

There was nothing to dislike.

This was an absolutely amazing pub with rooms. As soon as we entered, we were greeted warmly and immediately shown to our rooms, which were beautifully decorated, very well furnished and extremely comfortable. We were even given a little flask with fresh milk to be able to make a drink in our room. We returned to the bar and I have to say, the cocktails were fabulous. It was such a lovely warm relaxed failing in the bar that we felt very much at home. We went out for the evening and returned once again to spend a couple of hours in the bar. We had a fabulous night’s sleep in an extremely comfortable bed and breakfast in the morning was again, superb. We would have no hesitation in staying at this pub again and look forward to returning sometime in the very near future.

Nothing. Everything was excellent.

Conversations beforehand, to arrange dinner, organise menus and ensure the rooms had the right number of beds were all excellent and really personable. The landlady was great when we arrived, managing a group of 15 of us, some who were staying, and some who were just dining. Same was true the next morning too. Really professional as well as friendly. Really enjoyed by our entire group.

The rooms and in general the hotels need updating.

Lovely countryside around the hotel, the layout of the rooms and bar area are nice with the garden to to rear which is quite and piece full.

The road could get a little noisy at commute times but quiet the rest of the time.

I loved the spacious clean room and the view of the farm field. They provided us with americano coffee's in the morning that we could take back to our room and enjoy the view. The food was amazing and I highly recommend Sunday Roast dinners. The breakfast was items off the menu. All menu items were fresh and cooked to order. Other Inns we stayed at offered cold options on a buffet. Crab and Boar was exceptional as Pub and Inn goes. I highly recommend it.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Lovely room with own private patio area. Breakfast was high quality and nothing we asked for was too much trouble.

Bathroom very small. Plumbing for sink in bathroom not actually sealed! Opening the ‘plug’ resulted in a flooded bathroom, and shower unit not sealed, resulting in more leaks. Noisy bins banging at 6am! accompanied by barking dogs! Lunch was ok, nice restaurant with nice countryside view (outside seating also available) but would have been better if salting left to consumer, far too much salt on chips pre-salted by chef! Staff seemed ‘busy’, so completing one job at a time is usually best, and good idea to ensure the waiter knows what food is being served each day. Rustic bathroom decor is an acquired taste. The lighting in the bedroom extremely poor, and in bathroom was very poor, woefully inadequate, and ‘illuminated’ mirror didn’t.

Interesting hotel. Nice rural location, with pleasant grounds, extensive free parking. Friendly helpful staff. Some issues with bathroom plumbing, which were noted and hopefully fixed for the next guests. The steep narrow external stairs to access our room were a challenge with bags, and would prohibitively challenging for less able guests. Noise was an issue early on the first morning, seemed to be early bin collection, and what appeared to be inconsiderate guests with large barking dogs early in the morning. Overall a good experience, but could be improved by the absence of the aforementioned. Good cooked breakfast, with individual requirement kindly fulfilled. Excellent coffee on first morning, strangely not so on second morning. Nice restaurant.

Comfortable beds. Excellent evening meal with a good wine list. A great breakfast. All the team were extremely helpful.

I doubt breakfast could have been better. We were waited on by Rebecca, the hard-working and cheerful manager rather than being subjected to a soul-less buffet. The food was freshly cooked and piping hot. However......the room was a real disappointment! The king-size bed was a standard double (135cm wide, not 150cm) which matters to oldies of ample dimensions. There was no dressing table or drawers (other that bedside) and no hanging space apart from a broom cupboard with a rail masquerading as a built-in wardrobe and the shower was completely inaccessible to geriatrics as the bath sides were too steep to stand in and there were no safety handles for those less stable to hang on to. Our room looked directly onto the main road and the wooden window had warped so couldn't be properly closed and we were subjected to traffic noise and wind noise all night. We spoke to Rebecca, the Manager about these at breakfast in the morning and she informed us that refurbishments were in hand. But until then we can't recommend the Crab and Boar despite the otherwise lovely atmosphere, staff and excellent cooking.

The breakfast was excellent.

As my husband is a little unsteady on his legs a bath mat to put down in the bath for showering would have been useful. (not a complaint though)

The Room being on the ground floor suited us very well and was comfortable. Breakfast was excellent and nothing was too much trouble. A lovely start to the day

Room was very tired and Iin need of updating with peeling paint and stained carpet

Loved our room on the ground floor. The little outside private terrace was perfect for relaxing and was a bit of a sun trap.
