Relaxing weekend
We had a lovely stay. The team were super friendly. Our bed was a zip and link that wasn’t overly comfortable, and it was a Shane having no dinner available on the Sunday night? Otherwise, great great stay,

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Loved our stay at the Crab & Boar, a quintessential English country inn. The staff is friendly, easygoing, quite helpful and even went above and beyond for us. Dave and Tammy were fantastic. The food was quite good. Prices seem reasonable. Drive to close by Newbury is a short distance. Very nice and handy Speedy Queen launderette in town. Quiet but for the occasional car whizzing by. Being from the USA and driving for the first time in the UK, the location on Wantage Road and pulling in and out was a little scary. Getting an available Uber was challenging, but the local cab service was very quick. Other than the tricky road visibility, no complaints.

Lovely place for a night away.
Lovely place for a romantic night away. Our room was nice and spacious. Bed comfortable and meals good. The only downside would be it’s right on the road so a bit noisy at night so take earplugs if you are not used to hearing traffic however it didn’t bother us too much. Staff friendly.

A Pleasant Stay
After a day negotiating bad traffic and poor weather, this was a welcome sanctuary and both the food and the service were very good. There was an issue with a discrepancy between our Hotels.com booking and the details held by the venue. They dealt with this fairly and equitably, my advice book direct.
