We aim to provide every guest with an enjoyable stay, and indeed, many of our visitors return time and time again. We aim to make every guest feel at home, and get the most out of their stay in this special area of England. The inn, which throughout its varied history was called The Blue Boar (until 1845) and the Oddfellows Arms (until the 1980s) is a grade II listed building, built in the 18th century and has been thoughtfully restored to reflect its past, whilst providing every modern comfort to guests.
Accommodation is in 2 rooms above the pub itself, or in 5 rooms at the back of the pub, which the present owners started to convert from the old barns and stables in 2001; work was completed in 2004. Many of the original features such as exposed beams and the characteristic wooden framed windows and sloping ceilings have been retained, whilst modern comforts have been added to provide comfortable rooms, equipped to a high standard.
Rooms have tea and coffee making facilities and are all en-suite. Televisions, hairdryers and shaver points are available in all rooms. Rooms 1-6 have showers, and room 7 has a bath. Room 3 is a Twin room, all other rooms are Doubles. Please indicate at the time of booking if you have a preference. All bedrooms are non-smoking, as well as the bar and dining room areas. We have some additional fold-down beds for children who wish to share their parents room. Well behaved dogs are welcome.
We offer an extensive menu with traditional British dishes, as well as dishes developed in our own kitchen from Matt's favourite recipes. All food is cooked to order using local produce where possible, in fact, most of the seasonal vegetables are grown by the landlord in his allotment about 2 miles from the pub itself. Other favourite local sources are the organic farm in Fadmoor, the fish farm at Yodeworth near Kirkbymoorside as well as the local gamekeepers and farmers who keep us in stock of fresh meat and game. |
