The Running Horse

The Running Horse is a very good personable country pub with rooms which are very well appointed with comfortable beds. The staff were very welcoming and friendly and we had a business lunch in their semi private room which was simple but excellent. The only reason I marked them down a little was because of several carpet stains that I do feel should be removed - or if not removable then they should put in a new carpet as they were large and off putting. Highly recommended!

Good food, good choice of beer, easy to park. My room didn't have any toilet paper and there wasn't any no tea mugs.

Its a shame our stay in this unique hotel was spoilt by a heating issue and amateur service. Instead of informing us of a problem with the heating upon check in, we were expected to accept a noisy fan heater blasting hot air like a hairdryer for the night. When it was brought to the attention of the staff, i expected a quick response but nothing happened for over an hour with sub zero temperatures outside. The staff were very dismissive of the issue and thought it was perfectly acceptable. Although they did source a portable heater and extra duvet while we had dinner, it would have been courteous to know what was happening. Service at breakfast was painfully slow and all the staff showed no interest in rectifying the situation. We have stayed in other hotels within the chain and professionally trained many staff with the hospitality industry, I am very disappointed with the level of service at The Running Horse.

Overall this was a lovely stay away from my home in a built up environment, the pub is set in a lovely area and not a sound could be heard apart from the local wildlife. We had a very welcoming reception from all staff members and the atmosphere was very friendly The food was fantastic but the accommodation let it down! We paid £220 for a king size but unfortunately in my mind it wasn’t very king size!!! The room was very small and nothing special about it especially considering the amount that was charged. Also the price did not include breakfast !!! In my experience this should have been a maximum £150 per night plus breakfast .

Had a good two night stay,the room was very comfy with a nice selection of hot drinks available,the room was lovely and warm as the heating was on,the bathroom was a good size with a great shower,I loved the toiletries,it was a well thought out room for a comfortable stay. We ate only one night in the restaurant it had a good menu and was very nice,it was busy due to the time of year but the staff were pleasant and coped well,enjoyed our stay.

What a nice and interesting hotel that this one! in an environment of ranch, the hotel propose small and "cosy" bedrooms apparently made from paddocks. My room was comfortable and well equipped. At the same location, a very good restaurant proposed very good items. I took my lunch, my dinner and also my breakfast and was totally satisfied by all my selections. I definitely recommand this hotel-restaurant managed by very a nice and discrete young couple. THANK YOU!

We had a short 1 night stay at this Wonderful pub. Great location in a rural village but only 10 mins drive to Winchester. We only regret our stay was not longer and we will be back. Lovely breakfast choices and a truly lovely welcome.

It's such a cute place, I love going here, it was my second stay and im going back again in a couple of weeks. Really nice comfortable place,

don't bother booking some faceless hotel in the area if you have the option of staying at the Running horse. well worth your money. Shame we didn't arrive early enough to taste the evening meals on offer.
