Nice overnight stay

We stayed for 1 night on the Thirsty Thursday deal. The staff didn't seem to know what it was which was a little embarrassing when we got into the restaurant but was soon sorted! We enjoyed our stay. The Blue Boar is in a very good spot in the middle of Witney. The parking could be a problem because although free parking available on the street and car parks it is only for 3 hours and it means keep moving the car!

Parking was a big issue and explaining where to go was happy hazard but once sorted it was OK. Everything else was excellent.

Nice place to stay for short break

We stayed at the Blue Boar for a very enjoyable long weekend. We ate in the restaurant 2 nights and enjoyed 2 breakfasts , food and service was very good despite it being busy, nice friendly atmosphere. Although the room was very nice and fairly quiet given we were in the centre of town, the temperature around the whole Hotel was extremely hot even in mid March? Also there is no on site parking, so you have to park away from the hotel and carry your luggage a fair distance, so pack lightly.

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

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.

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.

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.
