What guests think

Reviews of Wild Boar Estate highlight warmly welcoming staff, consistently praised food and breakfasts, and characterful, comfortable rooms that are often spacious, all within a cosy countryside inn setting many find ideal for Lake District breaks and dog-friendly stays.

The location feels quiet and rural near Windermere and Bowness, but several note it is not walkable to town, so a car or cab helps. On-site parking is available but often comes with an extra charge, and some guests mention added fees such as dog surcharges, service charges, or an opt-out donation. Some report cleanliness lapses and very warm rooms without air conditioning, plus lots of stairs that may challenge those with mobility needs. It suits travellers seeking a cosy countryside base who are comfortable with a few practical trade-offs.

Very nice hotel and breakfast. All staff very friendly. Only thing is we had to pay a charge for parking (£12) as we booked with Tesco Club card, charge service charge for drinks and they added a £1 donation for plant a tree. It would be nice if you were asked if you wanted to contribute before adding it to your bill.

Hotel room was really nice and spacious. Friendly staff and helpful. Large carpark for your stay but no electrical ports for electric vehicles so not that eco friendly. On check out after a 2 night stay had to pay £12 parking fee even though there’s no alternative as your in the middle of the countryside so seems rather cheeky, also £1 to plant a tree, I didn’t plant a tree and then £12 service charge, this on top of the hotel cost and the parking fees. Restaurant food was very nice but not alit of choice so went into Windermere in our second night,

Great stay, high quality food, comfy beds. Parking is additional cost £12 as is a dog staying £30, both we thought was high. We dined in the bar area, food was brilliant but think the lighting could be dimmed in the evening to create more ambiance.

Really nice little inn, service was good. The extra charges I thought were a bit overpriced. £30 per day per dog was £120 for us but the worst charge was the £15 per day for parking. There is no option as it’s quite out of the way and there is other option. It goes as a 5 star - not sure about that. We had a double bed which is really small maybe we are used to a bigger bed, so was not that comfortable and there was mould in the shower, which is an easy fix.

This is the 3 rd time we have stayed at the Wild Boar and we decided to Upgrade our room this time . Unfortunately the shower had not be cleaned and had cobwebs hanging from It clearly Indicating it had not been cleaned throughly for some time . All staff were friendly and the meals are fantastic unfortunately the standard of cleanliness of the shower somewhat tarnished the stay as the room upgrade was significantly more expensive than the standard rooms.
