Hare and Hounds Newbury

We have stayed at the H & H several times and it just gets better and better. Food & drink is excellent, rooms beautifully appointed and always a lovely warm and inviting atmosphere. Rajesh & his team are simply the best!

superb, comfortable and well fitted out rooms with lots of attention to detail. Excellent food at the restaurant and helpful & friendly staff. Would not hesitate to recommend.

This was such a stunning property. The room, bar, resturant were all so lovely. Especially so close to Christmas with all the Christmas trees! Tea and coffee in the room, a free bit of gin too. The staff in the resturant were beyond lovely and the food was Devine. As was the breakfast that was included. Stunning. I honestly couldn’t recommend it enough. I won’t lie, I was slightly kept awake by the people in the room above walking around until the late hours of the night and I could hear them talking however everything else was so perfect so I can’t complain. Oh and the parking was free and easy!! Plenty of spaces. 10/10 recommend and can’t wait to return.

I am delighted to give the highest possible review to Hare & Hounds. Before we arrived, we received an email asking us questions in order to give us personalized service. Our room was small but cozy, and well-equipped. The food was also very high-quality.

Very handy for making a weekend out of a trip to the theatre. Amazing food.

Having previously lived in Newbury I already knew of the Hare and hounds reputation. The whole weekend was a pleasure, with the the staff being helpful and the meals were excellent.

We absolutely LOVED our stay. We were so comfortable, the staff were wonderful and friendly. The food was excellent. I would totally return and highly recommend !

The hotel has been recently renovated and is clean, new and comfortable. The dining room prepares their own food and is on the whole very good. The wait staff and assistant manager were very professional and service oriented. We had a negative experience with the owner or overall manager, Mr. Joshi. We booked thru *******. When our Blue Badge guide attempted to be helpful and drop off our bags in advance of our evening arrival, Mr. Joshi was at the front desk and refused to accept the bags. He said we had booked on ******* and he had had no credit card information on us so he could not accept our bags. Our guide reached out and said Mr. Joshi refused to talk with us, and had walked away from him. A confirmation email we received stated we could leave our bags if we arrived before regular check in time. Fortunately, our guide was service oriented and went above and beyond to take care of our bags. He drove back to Highclere Castle, worked out for our bags to be locked away by the gate guard, and contacted our taxi driver scheduled to pick us up. It was unfortunate as Mr. Joshi marred an otherwise pleasant expereince presumably because we booked thru *******!

Bedrooms are great. The thing that lets the hotel down is the poor service in the restaurant. Was sat down with a menu, no drink order taken and then left on my own. I had to go into the kitchen to ask if there was any staff around to take my order after nearly 15mins. Ordered a starter and a main. Sat for nearly half an hour and then my main turned up without my starter being served. Had to wait again for my starter to come. On top of that,the restaurant is cold and draughty to sit in.
