Fantastic way to break the January blues!
stayed: January 2015
We stayed at the Hare and Hounds early January, we booked the Gamekeepers Cottage which was amazing, from walking in it was cosy, clean, well laid out, decorated perfectly and well just lovely. The bedroom was beautiful and we slept better than we have in ages, the separate double shower a real treat, the bathroom cosy and relaxing, a few candles and the music channel on the tv and I didn't want to get out. Lovely comfy living room and nice table area where we had breakfast one morning so we didn't even need to leave the room. Obviously the main additional extra to this room is the outdoor hot tub, a lovely treat completely private and something very special.
Once you get over how amazing the room is you then have the main hotel, staff polite, friendly and informative, the various rooms, bar/lounge/restaurant relaxing and well kept with a lovely roaring fireplace. As part of our stay we had the 8 course tasting menu which was a real treat, hats off to the chef here, also required is a massive thank you to our waitress who was lovely, talked us through each course, happy, polite and she made our evening. Breakfast was good, products, presentation and execution all great. We did also have Sunday lunch in the bar which was nice, the only thing I would say is get in early as they only had 2 roast options on and by the time we got there it was down to 1 but this I suppose is the sign of a good place!
I have one complaint, well its not even a complaint but one thing I would change is there is no wardrobe/drawers in the bedroom, you have to unpack and hang your clothes in the little cupboard out by the front door which, if you are like me is a bit annoying when you have to keep walking back out there when deciding on an outfit and I do like my clothes to be in the bedroom by the mirror. This would not however deter me from staying again, everything else was so good I would just go prepared with a clothes rail!!! Off Peak Luxury triumphed once again with both the package and service! Two very happy guests, very sad to leave!
