I always consult trip advisor before booking holiday, so thought it time I added reviews. We stayed for 1 night at the Hare and hounds at Speen, Newbury on 15/6/13 and in our opinion it deserves a recommendation for a friendly welcome, efficient service, clean accommodation, easy parking and nice food. The position of the hotel gives easy access to... More

Having read the good reviews we were looking forward to our trip to Newbury and one night stay at the Hare and Hounds. We were put in the stable block and we were expecting the room to be small having read this in the reviews and the bathroom is only about two feet wide but adequate and clean so far... More

Stayed here last night between two days of meetings. Not the normal kind of place I would stay but i couldn't get in any where. The room was great comfortable newly decorated and clean, the bar served real ales and had some very interesting fellow travellers and locals in, who were all friendly and happy to share their evening with...

My whole family stayed here for a very special birthday celebration. The staff were extremely helpful with everything we asked for, and the rooms were comfortable and individual - we loved the accommodation being around a courtyard, separate from the main building but not far away. The hotel is pet-friendly, and the service was excellent. Food in the restaurant was... More

Dear Rory M it's always a pleasure to know we have looked after our guests and even more so on a special occasion! Our cottage rooms are very popular and I do believe worth that little extra cost following their refurbishment. Many thanks for taking the time to pass on your kind comments, Jonathan, Jean and all at the Inn More

We booked this hotel from the States as a nice way to breakup a trip to/from London and Bath without having any knowledge of the area. After arriving, the hotel definitely exceeded our expectations. The hotel and restaurant/bar area are very relaxed and we felt comfortable at all times during our stay. Jon, the innkeeper, made it feel like a... More

Stayed at the hare and hounds to go to the Highclere Game fair, how refreshing to find somewhere that treats your pets as apart of the family. We will definitely be staying here next year.... The restraunt food was also very good, all the staff were very pleasant and friendly.

We stayed here last night as we were going to a party locally. It's a really handy hotel for Newbury centre (which since its recent makeover has some fab shopping..hubby's card definitely had a flex) and was a really reasonable price at £59 for a decent sized room which was extremely clean with breakfast.

On arrival we allocated a first floor room in the annex, which gave a great view over towards Donnington castle, the reception staff were very friendly and helpful and advised booking a table for the evening meal, even though it was a Tuesday. The reason for booking the table was obvious, the hotel is in a catch 22 situation, having... More
