Situated among the breathtaking landscapes of the Lake District, The Wild Boar stands out as one of Windermere’s most distinguished and historic hotels. Surrounded by the timeless beauty of the Gilpin Valley, the hotel offers a remarkable level of service, charming traditional interiors, crackling log fires, and delectable seasonal offerings from the Grill & Smokehouse open kitchen.
With 34 uniquely styled bedrooms, The hotel offers a range of accommodation options across three categories. Classic and Feature rooms deliver all the comforts expected from a four-star Lake District Inn, while the Luxury rooms provide an extra touch of indulgence for those seeking a special experience.
There’s a 72-acre ancient woodland that spreads up the hillside behind the hotel. There are several walking trails, a tarn and wildlife spotting including deer, sparrowhawks and woodpeckers.
Lake Windermere and Bowness are less than 10 minutes away, while attractions such as Beatrix Potter’s house, pretty Hawkshead or Wordsworth’s Dove Cottage at Grasmere are a further 30 minutes’ drive. Windermere Golf Club is a short walk away.
Whether you’re drawn to the rich history, the cozy ambiance, or the culinary delights, The Wild Boar promises an exceptional experience in the heart of the Lake District.

Food & Drink
The Wild Boar Grill & Smokehouse
The Wild Boar grill and smokehouse delivers a delectable modern English menu (expect steaks and homemade burgers), championing a whole host of local produce and seasonal ingredients. Hearty meals are cooked up in a theatrical open kitchen. Embracing a passion for tradition, an effort is made to make use of Lakeland's natural larder when selecting produce for the menus.
The Wild Boar Lounge & Bar
The Wild Boar lounge and bar is a 'cut-above' watering hole with five real ales from the in-house micro-brewery (under the watchful eye of master-brewer Tim Bloomer, of Fell Brewery) and a restaurant-standard wine list from the well-stocked wine cellar. Pale ale or full-bodied red?
