I must thank the staff at the Hare and Hounds for accommodating us after my father's funeral recently. They put on an excellent buffet and put up with a our party which contained everything from teenagers to the very elderly. My mum and dad used to eat there quite a lot, being quite local, and thought it would be the... More

Had the Sunday carvery and although we were offered a decent amount of meat which for me was over cooked,the vegetables were all frozen and not fresh even the potatoes and Yorkshire puddings were from frozen .Surely it isn't hard or expensive to offer fresh veg.Very disappointing meal and will not return

We visited without booking for Sunday lunch as we were in the area, The young staff were very helpful and showed us to a table. We decided to have the three course option, and both had stuffed mushroom with stilton to start, which we both thought tasted very good. Unfortunately down hill from then on as we progressed to the... More

Booked this hotel in July, for a stay in 27th December. Even though Paul shut the hotel for a family Christmas he still honoured our booking and even let our friends stay. The rooms are definitely quirky......slanting floors and walls but that all adds to the charm of this 18th century coach house. Paul was the perfect host even trusting... More

Stayed for one night whilst attending a wedding reception at the nearby Fennes Estate. Arrived just after 17:00 and were showed to our rooms, which both had en suites. The room which I stayed in contained two single beds, a small television, cupboard (complete with broken hangers) and a desk area with a kettle, but strangely no tea/coffee/biscuits. In the... More
