    A Unique and Charming Stay at the Hare and Hounds Hotel The Hare and Hounds Hotel offers a truly delightful and unique experience. What immediately struck me was the clever conversion of former stables into individual bedrooms. This thoughtful design provides a sense of character and privacy that you don't often find. Each room exudes a rustic charm while still offering all the necessary modern comforts for a relaxing stay. Beyond the distinctive accommodation, the food at the Hare and Hounds is truly excellent. Every dish I sampled was clearly prepared with care and high-quality ingredients, leaving a lasting positive impression. Whether you're dining in their restaurant or enjoying a bite in their beautiful beer garden, you're in for a treat. Speaking of the beer garden, it's a real highlight. This tranquil space is the perfect spot to unwind after a day of exploring or simply to enjoy a drink on a pleasant evening. Its beauty adds another layer of appeal to this already wonderful hotel. If you're looking for a hotel with character, delicious food, and a lovely outdoor space in Newbury, the Hare and Hounds Hotel comes highly recommended. It offers a memorable and enjoyable stay that stands out from the more conventional options.

    We booked this place on a whim from a Google search. Complete pleasant surprise. The room was immaculately finished, the bed was comfortable and the complimentary Sloe gin was a lovely gesture. We had an evening meal which was delicious and plentiful (with a delightfully large rose wine) and breakfast was extremely good and freshly cooked. The staff were very helpful and friendly and the cost of the night was also competitive. Would definitely recommend and will be returning.

    We had our Daughters wedding reception at The Hare and Hounds last weekend, the staff were amazing, they could not do enough to help and make everyone feel so welcome. The food was very good, the rooms were excellent, it made for a very special day and evening. The facilities there worked really well with our own bar area, restaurant that turned into an ideal evening entertainment area. The Chef was very attentive making sure we were happy and the Manager Max and events manager Dani were incredible they did not stop working to ensure we had a great time. I recommend this to anyone looking for a family event or wedding for up to 70 people. Thanks very much Max and Dani.
