Perfection

“Review of restaurant AND hotel,because in our opinion, they go together . This is possibly our 7th stay over maybe 3 years , with at least 3 more booked this year.. it suits us as a halfway stop between Kent and Oop north. We always have the same room as the hotel knows. Love it love it love it! ...”

Very nice experience

“For a pub/restaurant/hotel this was an extremely pleasant experience. I think the AA 4 star is justified. The staff (particularly Maddie) were all very pleasant and professional, nothing too much to resolve even the smallest issue. We had an evening meal that was way above the usual in terms of quality and presentation. We extended our stay and tried a different room which was equally as good as the first as a test for a few weeks time when we intend another visit.”

Brilliant

“When I arrived at the Hopping Hare, I was a little worried that it was yet another grand establishment run by a major brewery. How wrong could I be! From the moment I arrived, the staff were charming and efficient. My room in the eaves of the building was well appointed with a comfortable bed and good sized shower.”

What a gem! Highly recommended

“What a great find! Very pleasant, clean bedroom and a fabulous restaurant. Food was beautifully presented -more Michelin star type of presentation than the usual 'pub grub'. Having said that- they do also have all the pub usuals eg burgers and fish and chips. My salmon starter was fabulous- done with fennel, microherbs and zingy avocado…. and my cod was beautifully cooked. The cottage pie that my husband had was made of good lean steak, not the usual mince. Very well priced. Lovely staff. Couldn't fault it. We'd definitely go again if in the area.”

Fantastic staff and room

“My wife and I stayed for 2 nights, while the British MotoGP was on at Silverstone. The Hopping Hare is a great location for a stop over with Silverstone only 20 minutes away by car or bike. The staff are fantastic and really give out warm welcomes. We had room 9 and it was a good sized room. I love the decor of the pub. The pub is in a 5G area so no need to hook into the Wi-Fi for quick speeds. Loved the breakfast. All freshly cooked to order.”
