The Famous Wild Boar for Christmas and New Year

Christmas

Picture a traditional scene, with Father Christmas outside a snow bedecked coaching inn situated in the English Lake District with cosy log fires showing through the windows. Picture yourself as a guest of the Famous Wild Boar. Although we cannot guarantee a white Christmas, you can be assured of a relaxing, traditional holiday. Low oak beams, original flagstone floors, combined with friendly, courteous and attentive service, complete the unique character and ambience that is the Famous Wild Boar.
