Short break
The pictures make the room look larger than it actually is. The room had a damp issue which required a plug in air freshener to mask the smell. Food was above average price for pub food and beware service charge added even for bar drinks.

Almost perfect
The staff were all very helpful and pleasant whilst remaining professional throughout. The room was spacious and very comfortable, we had the usual tv, kettle, iron and teas and coffees but we also has a coffee pod machine, with a selection of pods, an iron and ironing board and a digital radio. The Sunday carvery was very tasty and good portions. My only complaint would be the full English breakfast which was very bland and nothing to write home about, overall it was an excellent experience and we will be staying there again.

Relaxed and friendly
The Running Horse is nestled in a forest area and is relaxing and quiet. The staff were all friendly and helpful. The room was modern and the bed was comfortable. Lots of power outlets in the room. The restaurant menu was very extensive and breakfast was comprehensive. I would definitely stay there again next time I'm in the area.

A favorite place but..
A hotel and restaraunt where we love to stay. Great food and terrific staff. This visit spoiled by the room allocated - #6 - located on a corner with frequent periods of outside noise in the evening and obstructed access in the morning.

We liked the "cabin' style room. There was a large dent in the wall, i assume caused by the door handle.

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 .
