2 night mid week break
Very friendly staff, gave me a map on arrival for a walk, delicious cream tea on return. Plenty of comfy seating areas, separate bar area, where you could have lunch or dinner. Lovely dinning room for breakfast and dinner. Both meals were really good. Dog friendly. Very relaxing few days which was what we wanted.
A lovely short break
This has the potential to be 5 star. However the proliferation of piped music tended to spoil our enjoyment, and to be told by reception that it can ben intimidating to enter a silent room was sheer nonsense. At the age of 91 and 84 we should not have to suffer being called 'you guys' by a number of members of staff and certainly not be addressed as young lady or young man. We felt patronised. What a pity - it could be so good. Why not build on those wonderful breakfasts! We would need persuading to stay here again.
Amazing dog friendly hotel
I ve never stayed in a place that was so dog friendly before. Welcoming and friendly from the moment we arrived to the moment we left. Loved that the dogs got their own little sausage breakfast included as well. We will definitely be back and have already recommended the Hare and Hounds to our other dogs loving friends and family.
