Average at best

Great location in centre of Witney. Nice bar and restaurant- if a little gloomy for breakfast and seats could do with a bit of attention. Room was basic and looked like it needed a bit if tlc. Bathroom looked like it has or had damp issues and smelt musty. Noisy at night until bar closed as our room was across the courtyard at the rear. Stay was ok but have had better for same price . Not sure we’d stay again.

The room at a glance was tidy but there was a damp smell upon walking into the room. The bathroom extractor fan was not working, bathroom had lots of mould and extremely damp smelling. The room itself was also mouldy in places. The soundproofing was terrible. The next door room decided to watch Jurrasic Park or the likes, and tv must have been at the highest level possible because we could hear everything and subsequently took my son ages to fall asleep. Then at 1am I was woken by some people out on the street bellowing and making such a racket that I lay awake for a few hours. Terrible experience and won't be returning

Very quaint, great atmosphere being a pub downstairs with rooms above. It wasn’t noisy even on the weekend. We had a large room for 3. Breakfast choices were fabulous. The staff in the dining room were extremely nice and helpful. I would definitely return to the Blue Boar.

Stayed for one night. Staff were lovely, friendly and helpful. Breakfast and coffee was great! Rooms were very tired looking, clean but tired. Bed was uncomfortable, as were pillows, it was fine for one night but wouldn’t want to stay for any longer than that.

The bed was comfy and room clean. There was no parking within a quarter of a mile in a shopping carpark. London prices not London experience. Dining staff young and inexperienced. Food took over two and a half hours. Pizza had raw ball of cold mozzarella on it. We were in attic room despite telling them i am disabled with mobility issues. For safety there should be a grab rail to assist getting in and out of bath after shower due to height of bath and slipping possibility. Pleasant bar staff even if bar shuts at 11 on a Friday night. The biggest priority was car parking and narrow stairs.

Buzz buzz buzz

Great venue, great room, great breakfast. The only negative was the lack of sleep caused by a loud buzz every 2-3 minutes which can only be likened to someone repeatedly pressing an intercom button. Almost considered spending the night in my car.

Deeply disappointing

Bright green “exit” light in room 12 made sleep difficult. No curtains and inadequate blinds ensured early waking. Pillows old and lumpy. Towels old and torn. Very noisy street outside. Over-priced for what it was. One saving grace was a very good breakfast hi h was included in the price.

A lovely find

Stayed for two nights. Great spot and would return. Rooms comfy and clean, 2nd floor ones are a bit of a trek. Ate in one night, food good, service dodgy at first but ended up fab. Smelly downstairs disabled toilet that we walked past on our way to the room was the only real negative.
Can’t beat an espresso martini to finish. Even the decaf one was good.
Great artwork
Artichoke, pardon peppers and meatballs- small plates whilst we were choosing.
