The Famous Wild Boar Hotel
Traditional 3 star
hotel in tranquil surroundings close to
Windermere
Set in the ancient beauty of the Gilpin Valley, this former Coaching Inn takes its name from the local legend of Sir Richard de Gilpin who bravely fought and killed a particularly ferocious wild boar close by. However its fame these days has much more to do with the warmest of welcomes, fine food served in a superb restaurant complemented by an extensive wine cellar, and an eclectic mix of cosy rooms and suites. Indeed The Famous Wild Boar has a very special quality that is often best experienced whilst relaxing by the open fire.
If you want to unwind in tranquil surroundings, for a special occasion, a weekend break or just to spend some time in this beautiful location - this is the place to stay. Secluded, yet close by Windermere village and Bowness Bay to give you the best of both worlds. With Windermere Golf Club virtually on our doorstep and free membership of the Low Wood Leisure Club, who could ask for more!
