The Boar Reviews

We had a fabulous time at the boar. There is plenty to do, the hot tub is a welcome delight at the end of the day and the views are fab to wake up to.
Had a great stay. Very friendly.
Lovely cottage in a beautiful location. Host was excellent and added some nice touches to make us feel welcome.
A little little property, cosy and just what we were looking for. In a beautiful area and the hot tub was a welcoming bonus.
Although quite unassuming when first viewed the TalletBoar is an absolute hidden gem, it has everything you want and need for a relaxing stay, perfectly situated to reach an endless parks, lakes, woodlands and of course the amazing forrest of Dean and breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside. We both agreed it was one of the best weeks away we've ever had together and this was as much down to our wonderful hosts Jeremy and Becky as everything else. We have already recommended a visit to friends and family. Unforgettable!
