The Inn's allure extends beyond its interiors, inviting guests to dine al fresco with their furry companions in the charming courtyard.
The location is a gateway to exploring the enchanting Cotswolds, with numerous market towns waiting to be discovered. Embark on scenic adventures such as the Witney Wool and Blanket trail or enjoy the dog-friendly grounds of the nearby Blenheim Palace. Whether savouring the historic charm within or exploring the vibrant surroundings, the Blue Boar stands as a testament to timeless allure and modern comfort, providing a haven for travellers seeking a delightful blend of history, hospitality, and canine-friendly charm.
