    I just could not connect to the WiFi. I arrived quite late and so didn’t bother to contact anyone on reception but again the next morning it did not work. Not a particular problem for me as I was not there long, but it could have been frustrating if I had work to do.

    Lovely room, fabulous decor and very comfortable bed. Breakfast was great, staff very helpful.

    The tiny saucepans to serve peas and baked beans……too small. They look nice/presentation, but the amount they hold isn’t sufficient..

    Great location for visiting Newbury. Staff were welcoming and friendly. Room was very clean, cosy and comfortable - big soft quilt and huge white towels, Bradley toiletries. Dinner was very good as was breakfast….everything cooked fresh to order.

    Sliding toilet door, which had frosted glass and didn't fit correctly, leaving gaps on the sides. Very limited tea and coffee in the room, but more was available from reception.

    Beautiful room, comfortable bed.

    Staff and facilities were perfect. The food and the bedroom - couldn’t have been better. The ONLY thing - coming from somebody who works with interiors - is please change your white (3000K) lightbulbs to 2700k or warn white as it doesn’t feel homely. Apart from that it’s the best stay over possible and I will most definitely be returning.

    I think the cleaning staff in the room could do with more time - although they were lovely. Bed was quite hard. We had supper on the first night - portions pretty small on the lamb and belly pork.

    Staff were wonderful, helpful and thoughtful. Breakfast was fabulous. The ingredients were first class. Sloe Gin in the room was a lovely touch. Great shower. Decor in room and building was beautiful.

    It was very nice, staff were very helpful and our room in the courtyard was very tasteful with a nice big bed. I didn’t like the pillows - one was too big and crammed double into the pillowcase and one was feather which made me sneeze all night. The only other problem was a huge damp (wet in fact) patch on the wall which they said they were aware of and would fix it. And the remote had no batteries so I missed Laura Kuensberg! Would stay again great value for money

    Sometimes staff were not at reception, but this wasn't a problem.

    Great find and not far from where we live. The Bridle Suite was more than expected for our overnight stay, spotlessly clean and a large bath in the bedroom. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We had drinks at the bar and had dinner booked for the evening, Breakfast superb, ordered quickly and came hot and plentiful. I would highly recommend Hare and Hounds.

    Lovely, quirky and comfortable place to stay. Very dog friendly with bed, bowl, blanket and treats provided. Great food and lovely breakfast included. Staff were so friendly and would definitely recommend. Only downside was the noise of the A4 early in the morning but even this would not stop us visiting again.

    Stayed for 2 nights whilst at Newbury races. First class accommodation. Excellent breakfast but cannot comment on restaurant as only had breakfast. A bit of a walk into Newbury but pretty flat and easy directions. Attentive and friendly staff and wonderful room.
