The Wild Boar

There are plenty of reasons to choose The Wild Boar estate when there are many choices in the area. It's secluded,but you are in the bustling towns within minutes. The rooms are very comfortable and have character. Probably one of the best options and breakfasts I have ever had. Own little brewery and the alternative afternoon tea was excellent,albeit savoury biased. I don't mind paying a bit extra for excellence,and in truth the service was that, so no qualms about paying the service charge. So overall we had a great couple of nights,and would recommend the hotel. I did have one niggle,my wife ordered the scallops as a starter,which came with black pudding, at £16, I thought a bit steep, however a tad disappointed when just one scallop was served. Of course I raised the point after eating but really too late to make amends. The menu should read scallop if only one is served. A very minor point, that didn't spoil our break, but not good value on that point. The breakfast though, WOW.

Booked a room and also a table in the restaurant Arrived just before check in and found hotel busy so had to park at rear car park had to go up and down a few stairs to get to reception which wasn’t ideal as my wife is struggling with a bad knee but it was manageable. Greeted at reception by a member of staff who was really polite and helpful we were offered a whiskey or a sherry for free if we wanted one Found the room to be very spacious although slightly dated it was very clean , bed was very spacious and comfortable. We had a table booked at the restaurant a two hour slot that we booked online , restaurant is amazing set out is awesome staff and service really good the food was absolutely out of this world highly recommended

We checked in directly after our marriage in Gretna green and were told that we had been upgraded to the bridal suite... we were absolutely overwhelmed and proceeded to our room. Upon entering the room we again were overcome with emotion as the room was simply beautiful, beyond our wildest dreams,. The whole two night experience will be remembered by us for the rest of our lives.The wild boar is simply stunning in every aspect from the politeness of all the staff to the simply sublime food and drink on offer. Thank you to the wild boar for making our wedding stay so special Scott and Polly

Our 5th stay at this lovely hotel and we will certainly be back. We love everything about it from the location, the beautiful rooms, the fabulous breakfast, the cosy bar and the friendly staff. We stayed in a luxury room and it was exactly that - luxury! Thanks to all the staff who made our stay so wonderful and especially to Jorg in the restaurant who served breakfast with a smile .

Great menu and excellent food, good public areas with 2 log fires and lovely restaurant. The bedrooms we and our two friends had were well away from the reception and people with mobility issues might have had problems

Wonderful food, amazing staff and extremely comfortable beds. We enjoyed the countryside for walks as we had very cold, bright weather. Wellies were provided if the grounds were muddy. There were open fires and a welcome sherry on arrival. Minor problems with heating were immediately solved by the great staff. We stayed for four days. I would highly recommend for overnight, lunch or dinner. I hope to return soon.
