Lake District Hotel set in tranquil surroundings

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

Bursting with character, our country inn welcomes you with friendly faces, traditional beams, individually styled rooms, an open fire and plenty of ‘cosy corners’.

'The Wild Boar is a wonderful experience - a real rarity in the hotel business; providing excellent customer service with old-fashioned courtesy, all wrapped-up in a gorgeously historic building in a truly beautiful setting.'
Andrew Lewis (August 2019)

Set amongst the beauty of the Gilpin Valley, the inn takes its namesake from the local legend of Sir Richard de Gilpin, who bravely fought and killed a particularly ferocious wild boar.
