Set amongst the beauty of the ancient Gilpin Valley, it boasts an exceptional standard of service within exquisite traditional interiors and a warming, friendly atmosphere.
The hotel takes its namesake from the local legend of Sir Richard de Gilpin, who bravely fought and killed a particularly ferocious wild boar.
However, these days The Wild Boar hotel is known more for its warm welcomes, roaring log fires and seasonal food and drink from its Grill & Smokehouse open kitchen.
'The excellent restaurant offers delicious country-style cooking'
