Hare & Hounds Newbury

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.

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.

Cozy stay with a great dining option right on the property.

We booked multiple rooms for our company weekend, enjoying the races and staying at the wonderful Hare & Hounds. We will be returning next year!

Business Trip

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

One hour drive from Heathrow - good place to stay

Lovely accommodation and welcoming staff Arrived 18:30 to find Sunday food serving was finished however staff asked chef if he can do me something to eat which he did and was lovely food. Few things I question- I stood at bar to order drinks and food and service charge added on automatically without me realising I prefer to tip afterwards if appropriate then ordered again at bar dessert again service charge added on which I questioned this time and asked for it to be removed which it was however it should not be there automatically!!Room cleanliness overall good but small windows room was hot and no fan leaving windows open right next to seating area and smoking area isn’t great so at least get a fan in the room The shower tiles lower down lots of mould get your cleaning staff actually cleaning the tiles lower down as slimy mould can be remover with a bit of elbow grease On entering room it smelt dampHowever this did not affect my stay and would stay again if the above notes were improved this could be 5*****Very accommodating staff

Room was excellent very clean and everything you need.  Arrived late 11pm and met by friendly team great welcome. Breakfast was not the best and let the stay down overall. The smashed avocado on toast was like a thin spread on the toast. The streaky bacon was very fatty and should’ve been much crispier.  The best part of breakfast was the scrambled egg which was really good.

Lovely room but restaurant service is slow. Lots of time when there was no one in the restaurant.  At breakfast we sat down on our own accord as there was no one around,after what seemed like  a long time, I got us the menus and eventually someone came to take the order. They need more staff and better trained staff.
