The Grill & Smokehouse Restaurant

We had an overnight B&B stay given to us as a gift and we then booked for dinner in the restaurant. Check-in was fine and efficient, our room was waaaaaaaaaaay down the corridor, pretty much walked to the other side of the hotel - a walk we very much needed after our dinner! 😂 Dinner was absolutely delicious, mouthwateringly so. Menu had traditional food choices along with some more unusual (but actually very traditional!) food options. I had the sirloin steak, smoked in their own smoker. I could have eaten it all again, it was just so good! He had the tomahawk - again, tasted amazing. Dessert was good too. Breakfast was ok. Continental buffet style of various cereals, breads, croissants available and a choice of hot food to order ( don't know if the hot food was included in our B&B price or just the Continental - didn't ask as I wasn't bothered! But you might want to check as it was £25pp). Again, a variety of food choices on the hot menu. Our room was lovely - spacious, with a complimentary bottle of Prosecco (thank you very much!) and a bottle of water provided. Lots of tea and coffee varieties available. Everything was lovely and clean. Check out, again, was efficient. Staff were lovely. Highly recommend dinner and a stay!

We have just had a fantastic stay at the Wild Boar Hotel. The staff could not be more friendly and helpful. The room was spotlessly clean with good quality towels, linens and tea tray. We also took our dog with us and I initially thought an extra £30 for the dog was a bit steep, however I was wrong the care and detail put in to him staying was brilliant. They had left him a water dish, treats, a ball, his own towel and bed, absolutely fantastic. But saving the best until last the breakfast is always outstanding at the Wild Boar, always great quality produce and a brilliant selection to choose from. We have stayed at lots of great hotels but the Wild Boar’s breakfast is the best of any. Fantastic stay and we will 100% be returning 😀

Visited The Wild Boar for their alternative afternoon tea which was fantastic. The food was delicious and something a bit different from the usual afternoon tea. The service was also brilliant with all the ladies very attentive, polite and personable. We thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon tea here! Our only recommendation would be that the seating area for the afternoon tea was a little uncomfortable sat at upright tables and maybe some more soft seating and relaxed areas for this type of meal would invite us to stay even longer.

Overall its very nice with open fires and decore. However the service charge is added to your bill without question so check before you pay, our room was a standard room but the bathroom sink was partially blocked and the beds were singles pushed together, not a huge inconvenience but worth noting. The food was very good, alternative afternoon tea was a mixed selection of hot savoury food, sliders ,monkfish, a slither of salmon on rye with some very nice desert choices. The breakfast was also very good with a varied selection of options and a good choice of cereals and options if your not a full English person. Well done to the kitchen and the staff are very nice. I would also set aside the cost of taxi if your not walking into Bo'ness or windermere as they are not cheap and it's approx 3.5 miles .

Stayed for a couple of days in January. The room was nice, with a comfortable bed. It was very warm with no obvious way to adjust the heating or radiators. The bathroom was clean with very good quality towels. The only issues were no USB charger point, which almost every hotel we visit has one, and the shower tray almost filled to the top whilst showering. The room was not made up during our 2 night stay, but this may just be how they work and wasn't a big issue. The food was excellent, and my steak was undoubtedly the best I've eaten. The breakfast was also very good. The food prices and especially the drinks are a little on the higher side, which we expected. I, however, could not justify the hefty service charge put on our evening meal. For this reason, we ate out at a different restaurant in the town on our second night. The restaurant staff in the morning and evening were very welcoming and friendly, with the exception of Christian. I found him quite rude. On 2 occasions, I said hello and good morning, and he completely blanked me. Check-in was straightforward, although the desk is situated next to the bar, so when busy, I expect this might be an issue. The WiFi was very good, thankfully, as we had no Vodafone signal whatsoever during our stay. There is plenty of parking and the hotel is in a good location, only 5-10 minutes to nearby town.

Fabulous Christmas break away. Wonderful staff (especially Jo and Natalia and Vaclaw in the restaurant who were so friendly welcoming and hilarious) . Greeted with a glass of sherry and a warm welcome on arrival. The hotel was gorgeous and perfect for Christmas with its roaring fires and oak beams. Such a beautiful setting. Fabulous Christmas eve with carols and a festive quiz. Wayne the quizmaster should be on TV!! We all said its one of our best Christmasses ever! We can't wait to come back
