Lovely old, quaint inn in beautiful countryside. Water pressure was low, but the hot water when it came was scalding hot. The food was good but would have liked more seafood choices.. Delicious steak and ale pie, and blackberry meringue dessert. Breakfast had good options for a hot meal or cold buffet.

Blue Boar Bliss

Our stay at the Blue Boar was very comfortable and welcoming particularly as we had a dog.We had a lovely sized room with very comfortable beds and beautiful white crisp cotton bedding. The bath was large with piping hot water- lovely to relax in after a days walking. The food was exceptionally good in the evening and the breakfast was plentiful with a good variety of cooked options. We are definitely going to return when we are in the area again.

Fantastic find….we’ll be back xx

Perfect place for us. We were able to take to dog away with us for the first time ever, as the Blue Ball is super dog-freindly. They even provided bowls, treats, doggy beer (yes, you read that correctly) & a ball to play with. Rooms were perfect. Walks were amazing. Staff were outstanding. Food was delicious.

Could do mych better. Under new ownership

This establishment as changed hands from last visit 2 years ago. Now owned st Austell brewery. Staff especially one yonger lady on in the mornings and evenings can be quite abrupt. Service no where near as good as 2 year ago. First night had booked table kept waiting for almist one half hours. Had to complain. Other tables came much karger were served. Did get meal for half price thou. Building work is ongoing which when asked how long for told 2 months. Builders start early by 8am driving machinery up and down pass the restaurant when your having breakfast. To make matters worst i had them outside my room one morning at 7 am making noise. I again had to complain. Car park opposite is half taken by builders and aggregate . Dogs are alloqed in the restaurant which i do not agree with . Myst have be y or 7 on one might. Bar ok but not restaurant. One early evening you could overhear the cleaning staff discussing the guests staying especially ones with dogs. Comment was made by them of a guest with dogs with room on a mess with the carpet covered in ticks and the smell was overwhelming. Obviously the inn does not keep specific rooms for dog owners as dog was in room next to me one one night. Food i would say overpriced for type it is. Now being brewery owned its a typical pub menu with perhaps half dozen items now per course. No where near as good as it was inder previous owners 2 years back. That was the reason chose this place to stay.woyld not stay again
