This AAA 4-Diamond resort offers guests a glimpse into the past on top of a host of activities -- from spa days and swimming to hiking and tennis matches -- plus modern amenities like marble bathrooms, in-room coffee makers and free Wi-Fi.
Rooms decorated in neutral hues with pops of bright color feature either a king or two queen beds, as well as colonial colonial accents -- like prints from the Revolutionary and Civil Wars -- that mirror the resort's storied past. For more outdoor space, we recommend upgrading to a Premium Room, which comes with its own private balcony or patio -- some with lakeside views.
Dining options at the Boar's Head run the gambit from poolside snacks from the Firefly Bar & Grill to sustainably harvested oysters at the resort's Mill Room restaurant. Although there's no shortage of on-site activities, the University of Virginia is less than ten minutes away. In addition to strolling the school's historic campus, guests have complimentary access to UVA's 33,000 square-foot McArthur Squash Center.

We went for a short getaway and to relax. We spent one full day at the adult pool which we haven't done in years.

Beautiful spacious room with nice pillow top mattress. Water pressure was inconsistent but bearable.
Bathroom amenities were lovely.
Our A/C unit was acting up upon arrival however maintenance was promptly sent to correct the problem. The only negative I have is that there were about 4 unsightly huge laundry bins left at the entryway to our hall the entire time we were there.

I was not pleased that my spa treatment was cancelled the day of No backup person to cover someone who called in sick. Ithis was reserved well in advance and I had to scramble to find an alternate spa for my friend and myself. Very bad customer service. Would never attempt to book the spa again.

The resort and the room were beautiful and the restaurant had wonderful food and atmosphere. The big negative was that I went there for a girls spa weekend celebrating my retirement. We made Spa reservations weeks in advance but were called in the middle of our three hour drive there and tolf that the staff person who was performing our treatments called in sick and they did not have a backup. They also had nothing available the following day and offered nothing as compensation for our troubles. This was very disappointing and it was handled very unprofessionally. Basically the spa receptionist did not seem interested in helping to resolve this problem. She did not even offer to have a manager call us . For a resort of this caliber they should be more customer oriented.

We had a good dinner and a good breakfast. The service was exceptional at both.
Location to wineries, Charlottsville and Monticello was great. This would be a good venue for someone who wants to swim, play tennis, play racquet ball, use the gym and visit the spa. Otherwise, less expensive lodging is available elsewhere.

Had to change rooms. First one looked out (at eye level) at infrastructure on top of kitchen roof. Second room was good with balcony but the hotel cleaning supplies were always lining the entrance hallway with large bins of dirty laundry and the door to the workroom always open, etc. Not very professional, We wanted to sit around the adult pool but the facility was just "ok". Nothing very inviting. The walking trail towards the golf course direction was "ok".

the hotel resort commodities are great. The only thing is that the front desk forgot to include the $30 credit from our bill when we checked out. I have to remind them to deduct it after the full amount was charged to my card.

It was advertised as balcony rooms overlooking the gardens or courtyards, yet our window looked straight at ductwork. Not even sunshine! The first thing said to us upon checking in was not “ Hello” or “Welcome”, or even “How can I help you?”. It was “checking in” without even a smile. The most unwelcome feeling. Front desk service was inhospitable.

Small room and difficult to sleep because of noisy climate control system and the inappropriately heavy blanket. You either had to use only the sheet -- which was not enough -- or the very heavy blanket, which was much too warm. Also, the resort fee made it a poor value, given that we didn't use any of the resort's features and activities.

Travel zoo needs to make it clear that Boars Head charges your card for the room and the resort fee prior to your arrival. They will ask for a card for incidentals at check in. Also, even though there is a resort fee they tack on a “service fee” and “gratuities” on top of that. I had a massage and tipped with cash only to learn at check out they already tacked on a 15% gratuity and “we cannot take that off the bill even if you already tipped with cash”. It’s a beautiful property and the beds are extremely comfortable.

I loved my stay at Boar's Hear. The room was lovely and the grounds beautiful. Easy access to all area attractions. The $30 credit per day allowed me to eat there once each day with no charge so quite a value. Loved the power green salad at the racquet club. Would definitely return to this resort.

We think that one of the great things about being there offseason was the quiet and the ability the staff had to cater to us. The only sad part was the restaurant options were very limiting to the Rackets Club. They were really nice for both dinner and breakfast but I have been to the buffet once and that was 4 star for sure. The food was ok enough and the staff was really wonderful. They even made me a special warm cider drink for dinner.

Not the best time to be there, with a gas leak in the area which meant only limited food options were available in the on-site restaurants. Then ALL the powere went out, meaning no light or heat in the rooms. Despite conditions that were out of their control, the staff remained patient and courteous.

The hotel was undergoing a large construction and we were unable to use the very nice bar and restaurant. Even though construction was mentioned in the small print, it was not at all mentioned to what extent the actual facilities were unavailable. The value for money was not at all good in this case.

They are doing some construction/upgrades in the grounds which were not a hindrance. There was only one restaurant open during the time. It had a limited menu but was adequate. We ate there a couple of times where the service was fine but it took 45 minutes to get served breakfast-the one day we wanted to get going quickly. Overall a good vacation but the service was lacking.

This is such a great place. Went for our 19th wedding anniversary. It was so romantic!! The rooms are beautiful and newly refurbished. I will say there is a lot of construction but nothing that disrupts the stay. It’s a great place in Charlottesville, VA. Location is good to for dinning outside the resort.
