Stayed for business. Ample parking. Super friendly staff. Great dining. Comfortable room, but if I had to be picky I'd say the bathroom was a little dated, the TV was old and being so close to the road, the passing traffic could be a problem for a light sleeper. There are however rooms further back.

We've driven past the Crab & Boar many times and always commented how lovely it looks. We finally had lunch today for my birthday treat and will now kick ourselves for not visiting sooner. The service was spot on. Wine lovely. The food was utter perfection. Each dish was stunning and tasted as good as it looked. Can't wait to return.

Had a simply perfect break this weekend. Room with Hot tub lovely and private. Sumptuous room calm and relaxing. Excellent cakes on arrival in the room. Warm welcome and wonderful staff. But it got better, had dinner which was presented beautifully and the taste was another a level. Breakfast delivered to the room in the morning and one last chance to get in hot tub with check out not till 11am. Thank you very much for a lovely stay, we plan on a return visit soon
