The Blue Boar

Sweet and nice hotel, fantastic breakfast. Great location in a small and beautiful little city. Friendly staff

We booked the disabled room for a Saturday night for £150. V friendly staff but access to disabled room (across cobbled courtyard) entailed 3 separate doors. The first at the top of a steep ramp (inaccessible key code touch pad to a w/c user). Sharp, narrow turning into short corridor. TV channels pixilated continually and radiator in bath room set to nuclear hot (no way of turning off - really dangerous). On the positive side, bed was huge and super comfy, slept really well. Room dated and run down but hotel well located and breakfast was just about OK for £15.

My wife and I stayed for one night at the Blue Boar as part of the celebrations for her birthday. I booked and paid for what was described as an "Executive Double Room". The room that we were allocated (Room 5) was at the top of a steep and narrow staircase and posed somewhat of a health and safety risk to guests like us who are in their 70s. especially as there was no offer to help us with our luggage. The room had supposedly been refurbished but that clearly hadn't included dealing with the cracked paint and mould on the lower half of the window or the sun-faded top of one of the bedside tablesThere was nothing about the room that deserved the title of Executive. It did have a 5 foot bed but otherwise it was only the size of a single room and the shower/bathroom was so small that you had to leave the door open while towelling oneself dry. The shower was certainly not a "power shower" as advertised. In summary I felt that the quality of the room had been significantly overstated and in consequence that I had been "mugged" which was very disappointing.
