This is not a cheap place to stay at so you would expect a few basics
The WiFi was so slow you couldn’t get Amazon or Netflix on
We were in room 7 without A/C hot on the 13/7/26
We opened the windows the noise from the traffic was deafening
There are other hotels in this area with better facilities, I will look at them next time I am in the area

Welcomed by a very friendly receptionist and advised where best to park on site and where the room is located - the hotel has several separate buildings Large, pet-friendly, ground floor room with easy access to hotel grounds. Dinner at the hotel was ok, if a little on the pricey side for quantity and quality. Breakfast great with a good selection of hot and cold choices. Overall a great stay and would definitely stay again but personally, may choose to eat elsewhere.

Room was immaculate and the staff were very friendly and welcoming throughout our stay.

Unfortunately, we felt the quality of the food didn’t reflect the price. We paid around £100 for an evening meal which included two mains, a shared Camembert to start, and two drinks, but we didn’t feel the quality of the food justified the price tag. The meal itself was quite bland and lacked imagination. The sauce with the main was overly salty, and the bread was extremely dry, as though it had been left under a hot lamp for some time before being served.

Breakfast was also disappointing. We again felt the food may have been cooked some time before serving. The mushrooms were dry and had very little taste, and both the meat and eggs had a slight fishy residue taste.

Next time we would probably choose to have breakfast elsewhere. It’s a shame, because aside from the food, everything else about our stay was fantastic and the staff were lovely.

Overall, the hotel is very pleasant and well-presented. However, our room (35) had virtually no water pressure in the shower, which was frankly shocking. It’s difficult to understand how a room in this condition is still being offered to guests in 2025. In contrast, our family’s room had a newly renovated bathroom and functioned perfectly well, so the difference was quite stark.

Additionally, although we arrived late, the check-in process was unnecessarily slow. Despite having emailed a month in advance to confirm that we were bringing our dog—and receiving acknowledgment of this—the hotel initially claimed no dog-friendly rooms were available. While they eventually accommodated us, we were told our dog would need to be on her “best behaviour,” which felt unnecessarily pointed given the prior arrangements.

Quiet location, friendly staff, food good but needs restaurant menu changing nightly or some specials adding as when your staying for any length it gets a bit boring, also the outside at the side of the restaurant needs a good sweep and tidy up, I sat there one evening watching a mouse playing and looking for something to eat, which it found then popped back into the stone wall, which you expect to find things like that in the country but could put some people off being so near the dining room, but overall we really enjoyed our stay

Friendly staff and attractive surroundings were abundant. Unfortunately attention to detail, tired rooms and an obvious lack of training has let this Hotel down.
Cleanliness was one of our biggest concerns with dining tables that were not wiped down sufficiently prior to them being laid, our room was grubby with spiders webs dead flies and a dusty beverage holder to mention just a few from a fairly extensive list.
We are sure that with the correct training and an inspection of the room prior to releasing it to the visitor, all of these issues could be resolved without breaking the bank.

We stayed at the Hare & Hounds for a live music evening at nearby Westonbirt Arboretum. We booked a table for lunch in the restaurant beforehand which was delicious! The staff in the restaurant were welcoming and very efficient. Our room was beautiful with lovely full size Molten Brown toiletries to use and an excellent coffee machine. Breakfast the next morning was equally good with a plentiful selection. I mislaid an earring whilst I was there and assumed I lost it at the live music event but thought I would check with Reception in case it had been handed in. The staff responded with great efficiency and managed to locate the earring - huge thanks and credit to them! The Hare & Hounds really is a special place to stay in the Cotswolds and is a beautiful building with much character. It is quite remote and taxis are scarce but an absolute treat to visit if you’re aware of these factors.

A pleasant relaxing stay.

2 night relaxing stay in the Cotswolds. The hotel was quiet on this occasion which meant that I could relax and sit wherever I wanted.
I was attending Highgrove for Burns Night, so only being 3 minutes away was a bonus.
The only down side was none of the local taxi companies wanted to do a short run even after giving 2 months notice to the hotel. The matter was quickly resolved however purely by chance and I had an enjoyable evening.
I stayed in a quiet room overlooking the gardens so no noise form the main road.
The hotel was clean with fires lit in the lounge and bar areas.

A return visit.

Having stayed at the Hare and Hounds many times over the years, there is nothing quite like a visit over a festive period. The place was buzzing, lots of people enjoying their Christmas outing. If you prefer a quieter atmosphere then this is not the time for you...........the staff were working flat out to see that everyone was catered for, not in any way an easy task with such a rambling building. There seemed to be people in every inch of the hotel. My stay was as always most pleasant, all be it a short one this time.

Lovely hotel, a few rough spots

Lovely property, but a few things need attention before I’d recommend it. The rooms, though well-appointed, had a few rough spots — the windows wouldn’t quite close fully, which made the party in the hotel event hall very loud. The WiFi didn’t really work in the room, and the TV kept switching over to the hotel menu after about 30sec on a channel.

We were staying in the family room, which is right next to the event hall, and the music kept the kids up until midnight.

It’s a shame as the hotel is beautiful, the food was lovely, and the staff were all welcoming and helpful.

This was a lovely old mansion house with great history and character. Lots of long winding corridors. Lovely rooms to sit in such as the library. Outdoor grounds were pretty and ideal for weddings. Loved the cute Gin Palace van.

Dinner in the bar was good overall. Some items pricey for what they were. It was unusual to have a pork chop on a plate, a little piece of Pak Choi
and so have to order potatoes. I had the broccoli and quinoa salad which was delicious and so big I couldn’t finish it.
Classic room was fine but nothing special. Toiletries were Moulton Brown ones and tea bags were lovely tea pigs, with biscuits and fresh milk.
The bed was very comfortable and had a great night’s sleep. The pillows a stuck out of the pillow cases and the pillow protectors had seen better days.
Bathroom spacious with plenty of hot water, fluffy towels and robes.
Good value for an overnight stay. Breakfast to die for!
