Pleasant stay. Would revisit and recommend.
We really enjoyed our stay at the Hopping Hare. Service was exemplary, room was clean and plenty big enough. Restaurant food was a notch above your usual pub grub and reasonably priced. Would definitely stay here again and would recommend to others. We stayed one night for a World Cup rugby match at Franklins Gardens which was within walking distance.

Great breakfast and helpful friendly staff.
Food was exceptional for both evening meal and breakfast and staff was on hand and very helpful and friendly to deal with during my stay. Rooms were of a very good and clean but of an average standard but would stay again just for the food.

I booked this for our staff who were away training.
They fed back to me that they really enjoyed staying at the Hopping Hare. The hospitality was amazing and the food was really delicious.
It’s definitely somewhere to return to.
Thank you for looking after them so well.
