In a secluded location near Bowness Bay, The Wild Boar offers en suite rooms, just 3 miles from Lake Windermere Ferry crossing. The Wild boar is a former coaching inn, named after the legend of Richard de Gilpin, who bravely fought a wild boar nearby. The individually designed rooms are all en suite and have a TV. Some rooms feature copper baths or log burners. Full of character, the Grill and Smokehouse restaurant has a theatrical open kitchen, and serves locally-sourced produce. The Wild Boar also has a bar with real local ales, a wine cellar and an open fire. Windermere Golf Club is a short walk away.
