Lake District Hotel set in tranquil surroundings

The Wild Boar is one of the Lake District’s finest and oldest Windermere hotels.

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 Wild Boar is proud to be a member of The Great Inns of Britain, a unique collection of 21 leading independent historic inns, all sharing a passion for traditional hospitality, excellent customer service and seasonal menus focused around fresh, local produce.

The Wild Boar offers hotel guests a number of things to see and do.

Explore woodland trails in the hotel's own private woodland, or enjoy a round of golf at Windermere Golf Club. Get out on the lake with Low Wood Bay’s Windermere boat hire, or enjoy free use of The Health Club at Low Wood Bay, just a short drive away.

When it comes to hotels in Windermere, there are none that provide quite as refreshing a stay as The Wild Boar.
