“What a fantastic find. The welcome and service is fantastic. The waiting staff in the restaurant in particular are friendly and attentive. The restaurant really makes this a brilliant stay. A classic menu beautifully presented and reasonably priced. The salmon was local and tasty, the duck probably the most tender I have had. The puddings were really interesting and flavourful. A good selection of beers and wines. The room was large and whilst no air conditioning a fan was provided. Ample parking. Just a great find. Can't recommend enough.”

“Yet another perfect meal at the Hopping Hare. The food is simply amazing and backed up by a calm atmosphere and friendly staff. We were there for my boys 11th birthday and they made his night with their friendliness AND his ice cream came out decorated wishing him a happy birthday!”

“Very conveniently situated on a bus route to the centre. Enormous bedrooms and great food. Unusual to find food being served on a Sunday evening, but we were treated to a fantastic roast beef dinner. We can't fault this hotel. The only point I would make is that when you open your bedroom curtain...”

“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! ...”

“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.”

“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.”
