The individually designed en-suite rooms feature stylish décor, flat-screen TVs, and thoughtful amenities—some boasting copper baths or log burners for an extra touch of luxury and romance in a setting that feels both cosy and refined.
The Grill and Smokehouse restaurant is full of character, with a theatrical open kitchen serving the best of British food focused on fresh local produce and unique dishes incorporating flavours from the onsite smokehouse. Guests can enjoy real local ales, an extensive wine cellar, and drinks by the open fire in the bar—creating a welcoming space for relaxed meals or celebratory evenings.
Wild Boar Estate is perfectly positioned near Bowness Bay and just 3 miles from the Lake Windermere Ferry crossing, with Windermere Golf Club a short walk away. This exceptional hotel delivers warm hospitality, exceptional dining, and the ideal setting for discovering the Lake District's natural beauty, historic sites, and peaceful woodland trails.
