We loved the charm of the property. The onsite restaurant was exceptional. Our Sunday dinner of pork, lamb, yorkshire pudding, potatoes and gravy were amazing. The chef works magic!

High expectations not met - both in terms of service given and in room amenities. Perhaps because I was so late to pick up room keys I was given the last room available? Wouldn’t say it was the cleanest or most organised room - where was the water?

The Hare and Hounds at Speen, Newbury

Enjoyed a wonderful overnight stay at The Hare and Hounds. Our room was The Fox, the room and furnishings were superb. The bar and restaurant are in the main building. Speen is an area just outside Newbury, with easy access to the town if required. Ample free car parking provided. Recommended as we found it to be of a very high standard.

Really good place to stay. Easy to get to as well connected to motorway without being so close you can hear it. Food is excellent and I would visit just to have dinner.

Lovely place. Staff super friendly and hard working. It was an overnight stay as we were dining nearby. Room was a bit too warm and, even though we had a fan, it didn’t do much to keep us cool. Not much you can do about a heatwave though. Breakfast was lovely.
