Witney, OX28 6BH
Autumn break
Parking limitations make it a little awkward other than that everything was good value for money and we would visit and stay again

Disappointing
Witney is such a beautiful place but unfortunately, our stay at The Blue Boar was disappointing. The hotel description is so misleading. As a result, instead of the boutique hotel that we were expecting, we found a restaurant with some rooms attached to it. There are no spaces dedicated to the hotel guests apart from the busy restaurant and pub. The room we were given was a very basic ground floor room with people having their beer literally just outside our window. A mouldy bathroom with missing light bulbs and an extremely noisy ventilator completed the picture. Although the members of staff at The Blue Boar were all friendly and polite, it was definitely not the experience we were hoping for. And, most annoyingly, when we contacted the Country Hotel Breaks customer service to complain about the misinformation on this website, they didn't seem to care too much.
Blue Boar
Fantastic hotel. Both managers probably the nicest we have met. Incredibly warm, friendly, professional and helpful especially when we had a slight problem with our room. Excellent food too. Our first time staying in a pub hotel and so impressed. Would definitely return.
Blue Boar
I guess the place was for what we paid I did expect even sure we had the
Superior room paid for - room was a bit tired and drab , but the superior part was probably the toilet
Seat held together with white gaffer !!
Rooms accessed via hall and stairs that also service toilets, so most times there was that particular
Bouquet . On the second day en route to breakfast confronted with vision of staff attempting unblock
Disabled loo , which was a test for more than one of the senses I can assure you , but it did calm my appetite some what.
Restaurant itself was were not bad , but overpriced.
Enjoyed our trip but have to say the hotel / pub disappointed.
Rooms a little tired
We had a lovely 2 night stay overall.
It's a terrible location to find parking. Not the hotels fault but this does really let it down.
The hotel itself is lovely but we found the room to be pretty tired. It needs a lick of paint as the walls were very stained and the bathroom has suffered mould as the bath panel was made out of wood. Everything available and a fridge in the room which was a bonus.
The manager kept everything running efficient and smooth and was a very hard working gentleman.
Overall we had a great stay and witney is lovely, it's just a nightmare to park.
Great food and lovely staff but shame about the room
We spent 2 nights at The Blue Boar whilst visiting Blenheim Palace. The location was good and the food in the restaurant very good. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Unfortunately when we entered our room we were very disappointed as it was more shabby than chic! There was nowhere to put our clothes other than 2 hangers each in the wardrobe - no drawers at all. There were naked light bulbs, the bath was coming away from the tiled wall and no dials on the shower so it was down to guesswork. We also had a broken toilet seat and battered bin. Our room was number 16. We were aware that due to staycations everywhere was fully booked up so we just got on with it. We have complained to the Blue Boar since we got home but have had no response. If you just want a meal here then we would recommend it but not the place to have a luxury weekend away.
