A great birthday present (if tricky to wrap)
Whilst planning my wife's 40th, I thought it would be nice to find us a place to stay that was grander than our normal choice of hotel and offered some great food in a special setting.
The Hare and Hounds turned out to a fantastic choice. Set in a lovely location, with friendly staff, wonderful food and spacious, comfortable rooms. I'll certainly be staying there again. Hopefully before my wife turns 80.
Great welcome, friendly helpful staff, had a wonderful stay.
Great little hotel, made all the better by the friendly staff who could not do enough to help, but not intrusive. Rooms were decent size and comfortable. Food was good perhaps a little on the pricey side for the menu. Hotel was beside the stunning little town of Tetbury which is a walk away. would stay again.
Relaxing escape
We had a single-night stay and found everything exceeded expectations - proximity to a main road (that was a slight concern before we went) was not noticeable, the room and the service were both exceptional. All my pre-arrival requests were carried out (things like Champagne and flowers in the room). We both felt very relaxed through what was a flying visit really. The restaurant was lovely although the menu choice was on the small side.
Overall a lovely relaxing experience. We will be going again.
