Welcome to Boars Head Boutique Hotel - Your Cozy BnB in Sunderland (Tyne and Wear), England

The hotel provides free private parking directly on-site for all guests, a rare convenience in the city. A shared kitchen is open for guest use, stocked with bread, cereals, milk, and jams for self-service breakfast. The terrace off the kitchen offers panoramic views of the River Wear and the Stadium of Light.

Each unit includes a private bathroom with free toiletries, a flat-screen TV, and an electric kettle. The Deluxe Triple Room with River View accommodates larger groups and offers direct river views. Some rooms, like the Laurel & Hardy Suite, feature original letters written by Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy.

The on-site Italian restaurant, Knowledge, serves dinner and drinks with river views from the bar. Guests can also order takeaway pizzas from the same kitchen. The restaurant is closed on Tuesdays, but the shared kitchen remains available for guests to prepare their own meals.

The hotel sits 1 km from Roker Beach and the same distance from Sunderland city centre. The Stadium of Light is 2.2 km away, and the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art is 21 km from the property. Newcastle International Airport is 33 km away, with a direct train from nearby Sunderland station.

The building dates from 1724 and retains original steep staircases and timber beams. Memorabilia on the walls includes photographs and correspondence documenting local maritime and cinema history. The hotel's historic status is reflected in the uneven floors and narrow doors that add authenticity to the stay.
