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.

Well run family hotel. Lovely breakfast. Appreciated tower fans as very hot. Not an overtly large room and some scuffing / painting / wallpaper areas to address but very clean. About a 40/45 min walk to town

We have stayed at the Hopping Hare a few times. It is a great pub, the food is very good, and the staff are very helpful. We would recommend the Hopping Hare to anyone. Only down side is getting to the rooms can be a little tricky - narrow passage ways and stairs.
