Comfortable, welcoming and a little different.

A really nice place to stay, proving that quirky doesn’t have to be weird. Comfortable bed, welcoming team, great food (perfect fish pie) served with a smile by Jess 😊

Style was really nice and it was silent and dark at night. Great attached pub.

Fantastic property with friendly helpful staff. Great secluded location but close enough to the town center. The restraunt is great food and a nice outside area to socialise.
Michael, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Easy check in and the hostess was friendly and helpful. The room had pretty much anything you could wish for in it. Very well equipped room, lovely linen and a super comfy bed with different firmness of pillows. Nespresso machine, mini fridge, DAB radio, large TV, Dyson fan, Iron, Hairdrier, all great! Checkout was easy the next day. Just a shame we couldn’t have stayed for longer and made better use of everything. Many thanks!

Great rooms outside a great gastropub

Stable rooms recently done outside a wonderful pub including great cooked breakfast. Also had a burger for dinner which was delicious!
Christopher J, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Too hot

We have stayed here before. The prices seem to have gone up. we did not feel we could justify breakfast as well. It was good last time though. Supper was pleasant although the portions seemed smaller than last time. However our main gripe was the temperature in the room. It was so hot that we got very little sleep. They did provide a dyson fan but that only recirculates the hot air. If summers continue to get hotter, air conditioning will be imperative here.
Roger, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Excellent spot for exploring Winchester and Downs

Lovely place and enjoyed the restaurant food and drink at lunch and for dinner. The burger and pork chop were particularly good. The rooms are good but I would say it's function over comfort. Beds were fine just a little sparce and nothing comfy to sit on apart from the bed really. So not a room to stay for a bit of a pamper stay ...but great if you are out and about. Amenities all present and correct and liked the DAB radio touch

Wonderfully themed place with great service.

What a great place! Themed with Horses! Who knew? Fantastic service and very excellent food, both dinner (evening) and the breakfast. Clean rooms, comfortable and a good shower. The dinner service team were great, the place gets quite busy (not surprised) and the hosts were still very attentive and efficient to serve the table. Overall a very nice place to stay and a thankyou to Belle (waitress) for the service we received.

Our experience

We have visited this accommodation before and was excellent. But unfortunately on this latest visit we had several issues, With the service of the room and the lack of concern from weekend staff. The pub is extremely nice and the food very good as was the service in the pub . Just not the same with the service of our room .After our complaint i hope they recognise this and amend the issues in future.

well worth consideration as a overnight stay

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.

Good restaurant, details missing in rooms

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.

8/10 Very good

Room was excellent with comfortable bed and good provisions. Bath was badly located and difficult to use as a bath rather than a shower. Food (dinner) was average for the price, beer good.

+ve Bed very comfortable. Very helpful staff. -ve some areas of room not clean - dust on carpet in corners, very small amount of toilet roll and no spare, in one room only one cup and no biscuits as in other rooms.

4/10 Fair

Great potential, disappointing experience. Our evening meal didn’t arrive, we asked about the food after 45 mins, and then again after another 45 mins, when they realised the order hadn’t gone through. Young staff not trained, no table system or else it would have been noticed, there was sufficient staff for covers. Surprised the Manager did not apologise for the error but left it to a young member of staff to do so, would have expected him to have acknowledged the error. Nice decor and ambiance, plenty of potential if the service element is sorted. Lighting in bedrooms is poor and needs improving.
