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.

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
