The Boars Head Pub

I booked this pub for a friend's stag do for the weekend. It is fair to say that it delivered on every level! Darren is the most responsive and helpful host, always on hand to help with any queries and requests and he made the whole booking experience incredibly easy. The actual pub is just as advertised perfect for any occasion and has something for everyone. I would wholeheartedly recommend this experience to anyone who is considering it. In fact, every member of our group of 23 would!

Had a fantastic stag do weekend at the Boar's Head what a great experience to stay in a pub! All amenities, including hot tub, sauna and games room were perfect for our stay. The pub even has the added bonus of Sky TV which meant we could watch all the weekend's sports. The bedrooms, especially in the Curly Tail, were of a high standard and all the bathrooms and other facilities were in excellent condition. Darren was fast and reliable with his communication and explained everything effectively in the buildup to our stay. Thank you again for hosting us! All in all, I'd highly recommend The Boar's Head!

We had a absolutely wonderful time at the Boars Head Pub for my wife 40th birthday, its an amazing venue with everything you need, from pouring your own pints to relaxing in the hot tub or playing darts and pool. All bedrooms were lovely from inside the pub or in curly tail apartments and Darren the owner was excellent in responding to my messages. The area in general has everything you need, with other restaurants and shops to look in during the day. Thank you again for letting us share your beautiful venue and making so many memories.

We had a great stay here for the stag do we had booked. A great pubfacility that had loads to do and in a great little town as well

We had a fantastic stay at the boar's head with 20 of us there for a stag do. The accomodation was absolutely amazing and having a working bar was a really unique feature. All the rooms were made to a high standard. Loads of great features including the games room, hot tubtiki bar area outside and a large kitchen which is well equipped. Darren was an absolute gent and was excellent at communicating throughout the booking and stay. 1010 experience.

Wow just wow. This property and its facilities are truly exceptional. We booked The Boars Head to celebrate my husbands birthday, with friends travelling from various parts of England, and it exceeded all expectations. Bishops Castle itself is a wonderful location, and the venue is simply fantastic a real hidden gem. The reviews we read beforehand were absolutely spot on. Darren, the owner, and Sykes were incredibly helpful and attentive from start to finish. No question was too small, and every query was answered promptly and professionally, which made the whole experience seamless. The facilities are second to none everything you could possibly need is provided. A fun highlight was friends who had never been behind a bar before! learning how to pour a pint. We also visited The Three Tuns, as recommended, for Sunday lunch, and it was excellent. This was a truly memorable experience, and we will be talking about The Boars Head for years to come. In fact, were already planning a return visit next year.

Everything about this property was stunning from start to finish, it is a five star accomodation that is worth every single penny, I am already looking for an excuse to book again! The village itself was so welcoming and lovely, the whole experience was perfect, we loved every moment!

We had an amazing stay at this wonderful location.

The property in the pub is very comfy, the bar and snug areas are just perfect for gathering or just to retire off. The Curly tail accommodation also was superb for that extra bit of escaping the pub and very spacious. The layout of the whole place was perfect, nobody felt under each others way. Just a tip, pub bedrooms are slightly on a hill no its not how drunk you are. It was that good there, one of our family members got proposed too in the bar area. Xxx

We hired this beautiful pub to celebrate three 50th birthdays, and it was absolutely perfect. The place has a lovely rustic feel and was spotlessly clean, with everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay. The hot tub was a massive hit with everyone, and the ladies especially loved the sauna, which you can access from inside the property. The fire added such a cosy, homely touch to the evenings. We also had a barrel of beer, a barrel of Guinness, and Pepsi on tap all of which were excellent and really added to the whole experience. We would love to come back and stay longer next time, as the surrounding area looks beautiful and well worth exploring. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a special group getaway.

A surprise weekend, for my wifes 60th. Could not have chosen a better venue... Absolutley perfect, in fact the photos don't do it justice. All 21 people in our party had a blast and our whatsapp group has bearly stopped this week with comments and photo's. The recommended caterers were superb, thank you Helen and Joe from Oak Apple Catering for a teriffic spread on the Saturday evening, also a massive thank you to Darren and his team for letting us use such a fantastic venue. WE WILL BE BACK!!...

Absolutely love this place and Darren has been great with us. This was our second stay at The Boars Head and we love it so much we have all planned to keep going every other year for as long as this property is available! The accommodation is perfect for the size of our group and so much for everyone to do, children and adults all had the best time!

I booked the Boars Head a year in advance for my 70th birthday, with 19 members of my family staying. Inevitably, you wonder how it will work out, but my fears were unjustified. The communication from the owner was excellent, staying in a Sixteenth Century pub was a delight and we had a lovely time. Many special memories were made.

We had a wonderful stay at the Boars Head pub. The facilities and accommodation was amazing. Such a unique experience to share with friends and family. The games room was a hit with us all. Our resident chef was very impressed with the kitchen and equipment and the Guinness on draught was superb. Messages and conversation with the owner were excellent We will definitely recommend and cant wait to return for a second visit

WOW Just spent a week at the Boars head celebrating my 50th Birthday. The 18 of us had the most amazing time. We honestly couldnt fault a thing. The owner Darren was quick to reply to any of our queries and couldnt be more helpful. Some of us got to meet him and he was so kind spending some time telling us about the history of his wonderful pub. The place is perfect for relaxing time, but with your own bar to party the night away. If you ever get the chance to book this place, just do it. You will have a blast! Glen

Best place iv ever stayed at. Having your own pub is brilliant, me and my friends had such an amazing time and would use again for sure, too notch

This place is an absolute gem. We had a brilliant weekend here and made some awesome memories we will remember forever. Accommodation was comfy and well presented. The bar and pub area is one of the cosiest places I've been in a long long time. With a great room to watch sport on a massive TV. We had activities planned in the afternoons but the real star and excitement was from being at the venue itself. Having been a barman 10 years ago it was great to get behind the bar and have fun with it. The location has plenty of food establishments with a wide range of cuisine and there's a huge spar shop across the road which was super convenient. This place is incredibly unique and the owner Darren was very helpful. Would 100 recommend and come back.

This place is amazing! ! We were a group of 18 people, with dogs in tow, who stayed here to celebrate my husbands 50th. We were a mix of ages and all had so much fun. The bedrooms are lovely, kitchen facilities are fantastic, and the pub itself is just so full of charm. We loved the hot tub in the garden and our teenage kids loved the games room. We had a dabble with the karaoke. It was really fun having our own lockin every night. All in all such a unique experience, I would highly recommend it.

We had a blast at the Boars Head, stayed for the week and didnt want to leave. Would highly recommend for others considering booking for group staysfamily gatherings. The property was presented beautifully, the bar area was great for getting together in the evenings, games room went down well with the kids & adults, the beds were comfortable and the kitchen was ample to cook up dinner for everyone. The local butcher is well worth ordering from, we even ordered to take some home with us. Communication with Darren was great throughout and he was always quick to respond to any questions I had. Thanks for a wonderful stay.

What a great place to stay ! Right from arrival it gave the wow factor ! The bedrooms were all great , nicely presented , very clean and comfortable beds. Lovely to have the more cosy areas too! Great that we could have shopping delivered before we arrived and it all put away for us . Always had quick responses from Darren about any questions . Would definitely stay again !

What a fantastic property to celebrate your special occasions! On arrival Darren the proprietor had put fresh flowers and fresh fruit for us, bed linen was of a high standard, beds very comfortable, toiletries were provided in bathrooms, facilities are great, nothing was a problem as Darren very quick to respond to our queries during our stay We will definitely be returning for future celebrations! Thank you Darren

Great spacious anccomodation and set up. Fun for all the family and plenty to keep everyone entertained. Nice location with plenty of places to eat and drink and nice walks within close proximity. Darren was great to deal with. Very proactive with communications and quick to respond to any questions we had.

Absolutely fantastic property for a large group of friends. All the facilities you could want. Rooms are well appointed and very comfy. Having the bar set up with kegs of beer and traditional bar snacks made the experience even better. The group really enjoyed the games room, big tv room to catch up on sport, hot tub and garden area with bbq. Due to the large open plan kitchen and crockery on open shelves, some items were found dirty. Could have done with a slightly later check out time to allow for cleaning before departure. It was a very early start.

We had an amazing time at Boars Head. The rooms were lovely and there was so much to entertain us, especially with children. Darren was very helpful and responded immediately with any questions or queries during our stay.

Really enjoyed our stay. Darren was really helpful and quick to respond to any queries. Would highly recommend this property to others

Excellent mixture of old and new Everything you would need for a relaxing time away Loads of places to eat or take always if you dont fancy cooking yourself we used the Happy Bap cafe for catering Saturday evening Great stay spotlessly clean

It was amazing from start to finish! A lovely and quirky place. The area downstairs was just beautiful and well maintained, along with the kitchen being great never seen anywhere as well equipped! The out door area was lovely too, and the hotub was brilliant. All of the beds were amazingly comfortable and we all had a lot of space each 20 of us all in one place! we absolutely loved the pub and definitely want to go back. As well as this, Darren was brilliant from start to finish and we communicated a lot leading up to it always very responsive. If you're thinking of booking, book it you won't be disappointed!

We had a fantastic time from start to finish! A lovely way to spend a 50th birthday! The property had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable and would definitely return

Wonderful property and unique experience, I spent my 40th birthday with friends. The host was very responsive to messages and answered our queries quickly. We had such a brilliant weekend and were never left with nothing to do or new areas to explore. Really felt like running my own pub, but with only my friends as guests. The village is lovely and was really nice to also get out an about for a few hours in the beautiful surrounding area. Will definitely be visiting again. Thank you very much Darren for being a great host. Adam

Thanks so much for our stay, we all had a fantastic time. This is such a great and unique Airbnb and Darren is a brilliant host! Would recommend it to any group looking for a fun weekend! Best regards!

Wow what can I say, we came here for my friends stag do and it didnt disappoint. Great facilities, beers on tap easily sorted before the stay and turned up with everything ready to go. Theres something for everyone here. Darren is great, had a few questions on facility use during the stay and Darren was quick and responsive to any questions. Treat the property with respect and youll have the best time. 1010.

Excellent accommodation. Spotless and well presented. Would highly recommend to anyone.

What a fantastic place to stay. A group of us came for my husbands 50th birthday. The pub is fantastic. A great place for a party. Kitchen is brilliant and everything you could possibly need. Outside garden is great along with the hot tub and sauna. All rooms were lovely and clean and spacious. We had a problem with one of the toilets but this was rectified and someone sent out within a couple of hours. Could not fault anything and would highly recommend

This was a brilliant venue for my friends hen weekend, the place was spacious had everything we needed for the weekend, we couldn't of asked for better, the weather was beautiful the beer garden with hot tub was fabulous, Darren was brilliant any questions or concerns answered quickly. The beautiful original characteristics of the pub with welcoming warm vibes made as all feels at home, can not wait for a return visit, highly recommended

We a group of 24, 12 adults and 12 children have just returned home from The Boars Head, having booked it for 3 nights for my 30th birthday. Booking process was really easy and the owner Darren, gets back to your queries before, during and after your stay, very quickly. We ordered ale on tap and a shop to be delivered before we checked in. Ale was ready and working from the moment we arrived and all our shopping had been put away for us. Little touches like this I found really helpful amongst the chaos of arriving with so many people. The idea and property is really unique and a fantastic experience to hire your own pub for a celebration. There are lots of different things at the property, the games room really kept the children entertained, the hot tub and sauna was a favourite with the adults and the tiki bar outside made a great addition to our themed cocktail hour. The bar and kitchen is stocked with plenty of glasses, dishes, cutlery etc for all different uses, my only suggestion would be that the kettlestoasters could do with being renewed but this didn't really impact our stay. We managed to cook two big breakfasts, 3 nights of buffet food and a roast dinner, so the kitchen had plenty of use. General overall cleanliness was good, the beds were really comfy, the annexes were more modern than the pub but I loved the character of the pub as it went really well with all our themed nights. We had everything from a glam night to a western, and even a slumbergames night, we got some fabulous pictures and had a fantastic time celebrating. Location is good, having a shop over the road came in really handy and a few members of the group enjoyed going on walks to explore over the 3 days. Overall, we had a fantastic stay and it is definitely somewhere we would book again, should another event come up and we recieved our deposit back in full the day after leaving without any issues. Thank you again for a lovely stay, its made my 30th birthday something to remember for sure.
