The Hare & Hounds Reviews Summary

Accommodation

Pros:

• "The room was beautiful and very clean. Lots of extra details to make your stay feel special."
• "The bedrooms are small but have everything you need including a big comfy bed, coffee maker and filtered water."

Cons:

• "Room was small and had one harsh light bulb overhead and no water pressure in shower."
• "Great restaurant for dinner but below average accommodation."
• "The booking of rooms and breakfast was an epic failure on the hotels part so much so that one of our guests spent the night on the hotel room floor as they hadn’t provided the extra bed specifically requested months in advance!!"
• "Our room was in the back building. No street noise but VERY loud due to a small maintenance building, employee area, and trash bins behind these rooms."
• "Rooms on the top floor have very low, slanted ceilings. Watch your head!"

Cons:

• "All the waiters were young and, although perfectly pleasant, were disorganized, slow and had little idea what they should be doing."
