Home from home, the Hare and Hounds has it all.
This is the third time we have stayed at the Hare and Hounds, which rather says it all. We like the ambiance, its always welcoming, warm, and cosy. The staff are informative and helpful.
I love the breakfasts. One morning I had avocado toast with a poached egg on top, delicious.
We love visiting Tetbury, which is a few mlles down the road, and Westonbirt which is virtually next door. We will be back.
lovely hotel.
An excellent stay, despite the weather - it rained all day on the Saturday which was a shame but obviously no-one's fault! The hotel was lovely. Our one tiny negitive was the bar meal, which we had on the first night, but this was more than made up for by the restaurant meal on the second night. That was stunning. In retrospect, we should have eaten there on both evenings.
Excellent romantic stay in the beautiful Cotswolds
This was a lovely package that included 2 nights in this beautiful country hotel. The location was great - a mere 8 -10 minute walk from Westonbirt Arboretum - which was a truly divine experience. We (my partner and I) got lost in nature's beauty and explored the widely diverse selection of trees on display. The hotel is also a short drive away from the charmingly quaint town of Cirencester with its numerous charity shops and infamous amphitheater. This made for a very nice day trip.
The hotel was lovely with very friendly and helpful staff. The dinner was exquisite and the off the menu breakfast also provided a wide option of culinary delight to set you off on your day. The only downside I would say was that it was a tad bit on the pricier side. But this is only a slight downside.
I would love to visit again and would recommend this this as a nice romantic trip for couples.
