15 April 2008 After having just returned from the Wild Boar for a surprise birthday bash I can honestly say our stay was almost perfect,that is apart from the Lakeland weather which does change every five minutes from sunshine to snow we had it all !

My girlfriend and I thought we would treat ourselves to a weekend away in the lakes and plumped for the famous wild boar, infamous wild boar more like. We were welcomed on our arrival in reception by the grumpiest old man in history, without raising his head from the desk he muttered "checking in". The room we were allocated was... more

Rooms were very noisy (walls extremely thin), no door on wardrobe,... more
