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.
