Hare & Hounds Newbury

I have stopped here a number of times, usually to break my journey home if arriving late into Heathrow.

It's very well equipped znd decorated bedrooms are fabulous and a great treat after a long day. Beds very comfy znd road noise is very limited.

Staff always very polite, happy and helpful and the food is always very tasty if a little on the expensive side.

Good parking!

Stayed 1night for a business trip, have stayed several times so knew what to expect..opted for a deluxe room but didnt see any difference from a standard room..the room was very small but perfectly formed, had an excellent nights sleep.  Lady on reception at check in was lovely despite being very busy, and helped me out with no fuss when i locked myself out of my room. Will stay again next time im in Newbury.

Stayed here a few years ago and liked it, decided to pay a return visit as we were in the area on child minding duties.

We liked
• Easy to find & plentiful parking
• Friendly welcome
• Well equipped room & large comfortable bed
• Thoughtful  little extra touches (carafe of sloe gin)
• Complimentary drink at the bar for booking direct
• Good choice of food and drinks at dinner
• Friendly, welcoming staff 
• Breakfast a bit Fawlty Towers-ish but in a nice way
• Perfectly cooked poached eggs

What we didn’t like:
• Only being able to stay for one night

What stood out for us was how friendly and helpful all of the staff were, even when busily dashing around in the restaurant.

Lovely rooms, nice design, comfortable beds, with lots of little extras. Great breakfast, I had the full English - expertly cooked with local ingredients. Ideal location for Newbury races, friendly professional staff, we really enjoyed our stay.

Neat little touch with the slow gin and the room was great!

Property was lovely and cosy. Also we had EV and there was charging facilities. Food was reasonable and good quality. Rooms was amazing and clean. The price was unbelievable for the quality of the room. Highly recommend

It is an ideal spot. We went to the races at Newbury. The room was comfortable and clean. The food was excellent. The main issue was staffing, there were simply not enough. Apparently 2 of their bar / restaurant staff called in sick. It was chaos and very slow. Sophie (duty manager) did her best and was excellent, but it was an uphill struggle with the rooms, bar and restaurant all full !!

The staff and the Haire and Hounds absolutely made our stay. At check in Max was personable and friendly, helping us check in quickly and efficiently. Bar and service staff were attentive and made us feel very welcome. The cleanliness of the rooms were exemplary and the beds were very comfortable indeed.

Lovely stay, with unexpected extras, like the sloe gin sample in the room, coffee machine & kettle, pillow mist & lovely toiletries - some really lovely touches - room styling was very bespoke, with quality décor, styling & was very well presented.  Service levels do need improvement however, with the need for additional hospitality staff training & attentiveness, whilst not forgetting previous table service requests - the restaurant was only 1/3 full, but the staff looked very overrun.I thought menu choices for dinner were good and the pricing was fair.Our orders/requests for water/ drinks though, were forgotten about at least 3 times.  The waitress commented to us that I would need to go to the bar to get my drink as they were exceptionally busy, whilst I waited the 8-9 minutes at the bar, my food had already been brought to the table, so when I returned is wasn't very hot.. Breakfast choices were good, although the 3 times I went for juice/glass, there were none avail & no fruit juice & wasn't replenished during the sitting.I would love to return again, but some little disappointments - which could easily be improved on, without too much effort. Thank you.

Lovely room in the coach house, well equipped, clean and extremely cosy, Friendly service. Highly recommended. Good price reduction in January. Adjoining pub and restaurant very nice too. Would defintely stay again.

The food was great. All staff were friendly and helpful. It is very nice looking place.
That were the good part ends- the bed was like sleeping on sold concrete block,hard and uncomfortable. The carpet in the bedroom was full of dirty stains. God knows the last time the carpet was cleaned. The bathroom door and shower door was very dirty. The toilet seat was very loose.

A let down

Excellent inn!

Business Trip

We would rate the H&H six stars if we could

Mostly all good …

Lovely little coach inn with great staff

Lovely stay,

Lovely hotel, staff and the rooms are decorated very well. Only downfall was the breakfast…the restaurant when I came down at 8:30am was a mess, barely a clean table, almost every table had plates with left over food…. The breakfast itself I am sure was precious days food warmed up. This is shame as I’ve had lunch there before and it was really good…. Perhaps there was a staffing issue, I don’t know. I’d still come back, however fresh breakfast next time please.

Lovely rooms at a great price and reception are very helpful. Mildly disappointed with the food and drinks, very expensive for what it was and the staff in the restaurant don’t seem very organised.Also, adding the tip automatically to the bill for a table of two is a step too far for me, we aren’t in the USA, let’s not start pretending that we are. If you pay your waiting staff industry leading wages and then allow customers to leave tips for truly exceptional service instead of expecting customer to top up salaries on behalf of the business that would be a much better proposition for customers and drive better service (and yes I’m aware we can have the tip removed from the bill but that’s not the point here).

Brief overnight stay only,having stayed here nearly a year before on our travels,suited our purposes.to return.Room nbr1 was clean and tidy,good facilities,is obviously a  popular place on both stays-January and December -as dining and bar areas full.Room was on front next to main road,earplugs provided if needed due to traffic,previous stay was quieter in carpark area accommodationEasy access from M4
