Always stay at the Blue Boar when visiting Witney. Convenient being central. Parking, though not on site, is 3 mins walk away in the Woolgate carpark and free from check in until check out. Breakfast is exceptional - waiter service and chef prepared. Room are simple, but each have an iron and ironing board and hairdryer. Toiletries in bathroom. Aircon in my room much needed as room looked on to main High Street so not really able to open windows. The night I stayed the local council decided to clean the drains during the night. The noise made for a very disturbec night. The hotel were unaware and when i went to reception at 1am they were luckily able to find me another room at the back of the hotel. Had they been full, not sure what could have been done. Price comparison with local chain hotels is a no brainer - this is far better value.

This is a lovely central hotel in an old building which has kept its character but with sensible modern restyling

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.

The Staff were helpful, efficient, and very friendly at all times. No request was too much for them. Made my Christmas stay a very pleasant, stress-free, experience.

Hotel was fine and in middle of witney unfortunately they allocated us a Disability room so although a nice size the bathroom didn’t have a wow factor

No parking! Wasn’t told about no parking till the morning of arrival. Had to walk from a public car park and I have mobility issues. Not happy. Very expensive bar.

The history of the property is really interesting as is its location at the old heart of Witney. The restaurant is excellent.

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.

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.

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.

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.
