This was our 3rd stay at the Boars Head for the Wales v Scotland rugby International. The hotel has great charm and has maintained an old world ambience. The rooms were all newly renovated and were clean and comfortable. The breakfast was excellent - Holly looked after us every morning with efficiency and always a smile. Gonzo the chef even sourced some haggis for our breakfast to make us feel at home. We had a carvery lunch at the hotel which was delicious and good value for money. The beers were well kept and went down a treat. The hotel is situated in the centre of town and is the best location for exploring the town and it's many shops and restaurants. Overall a great experience and we will be back again in two years. Would recommend without hesitation.
There is nothing not to like.

Great location great menu
Room was too hot.
The Boars Head wall sign on the front bangs against the stop bars in the wind this needs sorted.

I booked a single bedroom which had ample storage space with wardrobe, bedside table, Tv stand/desk with Tv on, kettle and tea/coffee.
Had a large double shower which was really nice- waterfall shower with body gel/shampoo provided. Lovely and clean.
Good breakfast selection with cereals, orange juice, fruit, yogurts and hot meal options.
First cup of tea in the morning was Luke warm
Due to mugs being cold.
Bedroom and restaurant cold in the morning.
I had the full English breakfast which again was only Luke warm.

Room was nice and value for money.
Staff were all lovely and helpful.
Location was good for the shops/restaurants.
Stayed in the front rooms - very noisy outside throughout the whole night so didn’t sleep very well as constantly woken up. Road sweeper went past both mornings around 5am!! Which was a shame as the bed was comfy.

The staff were all lovely, my husband has Alzheimer’s and uses a wheelchair and they did all they could to accommodate us and my granddaughter who joined us for the second night. We missed breakfast and they made sure we had some to take away.

The room was nice.
The room had no double glazing only secondary so could hear all the noise from the street, the bed was uncomfortable. The breakfast wad ok but never what we asked for.

Great central location.
Free parking.
Comfortable room.
Powerful shower.
Breakfast included.
Nice staff.
Shower door kept falling off - not fitted properly.
Windows wouldn’t open.
Two of our rooms got made up but the 3rd didn’t.
One of the rooms - no14 - was right above extremely loud karaoke in the bar that went on until gone midnight on the first night and until 10.30pm the next night. The bass on the music was right up and the room was shaking and vibrating - no exaggeration - absolutely ridiculous that anyone is expected to stay in the room let alone sleep in it. One staff member was completely blase about it, the other did at least try to show some concern, especially as the occupant is 68 years. There was no warning about this prior to booking or on arrival. Utter madness the idea of having to pay for that.

Great food
The sign that hangs on the front of the building bangs against a steel bar in a breeze where I always sleep with the window open I had to close it making the room too warm. Sign should be fixed properly so it does not bang!!!

All the team we met were very friendly and professional.
I accidentally left my earrings behind and the team managed to return them to us. A huge thank you
This isn’t in the hotel’s control but it was terribly noisy from people walking past in the early hours.

Very friendly and helpful staff. I had a problem with my suit jacket being creased as I was on my way to a wedding. The young lady who was by herself went out of her way to bring me an iron and ironing board. On our arrival on Friday at approximately 15.00 the lady who greeted us was extremely friendly and made us feel very welcomed.
Overall an enjoyable stay with a decent breakfast to boot with plenty of choice.
We stayed in number 25 which was okay but could have done with 2 bedside lamps. Also my sister in number 23 had netflix. I would think that this would be same throughout the other bedrooms.

Breakfast was very good and the evening meal was excellent. Location handy for transport. Lovely bathroom.
The bed frame was dangerous as the frame stuck out as the mattress was sunken in the frame as its design, not ideal for walking around it.

Not the property’s fault but Saturday night, the road outside seemed to turn into a race track

Host was lovely, room was fantastic. Breakfast was lovely, but we had to ask for basics like juice, coffee, milk, and butter for toast as they'd run out on table.
It was lovely, wouldn't change a thing.

The room was cosy, clean and comfortable. Breakfast was good and the staff were very friendly and efficient. The hotel was very welcoming. I would stay again but might ask for a lower room. Great central location with parking.
The climb up the stairs was a bit challenging! The access to the car park was also challenging, however neither of things are the fault of the hotel!
