    A Fantastic Dining and Stay Experience

    I had a wonderful stay at this charming pub! The room was stylish and comfortable, featuring a coffee maker and lovely toiletries, making it feel like a home away from home. The restaurant offered spectacular meals, especially the homemade dishes that truly impressed us. The staff were attentive and genuinely friendly, enhancing our overall experience. I noticed a lack of hairdryers in the room, which could be an improvement.

    beautiful room
    friendly staff
    good value
    cashless payment
    overpriced breakfast

    During my stay, I appreciated the beautiful, well-decorated room that offered a very comfortable atmosphere. The location in a scenic village just outside of the city was a nice touch, even though it would be challenging to get around without a car. it was good value for money with friendly staff and quality toiletries, though I found breakfast to be somewhat overpriced for average ingredients.

    tasty meals

    Staying at The Running Horse was an absolute delight! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Our room was tastefully decorated, with a cozy corner to relax in, and the bed was exceptionally comfortable. The food was fantastic, especially the pub-style meals, which made our dining experience truly memorable. Plus, the attention to detail in the room, like the Nespresso coffee machine and lovely toiletries, was much appreciated.

    Nice stay, great beds!

    We had a good time staying here for one night. The beds were amazing, super comfy! The rooms are clean and have outdoor seating. Loved the fresh milk for our tea. Only thing is, the parking lot was a bit tight. The restaurant had a solid menu and the pub area felt cozy.

    Had a one-night stay in a Double Room. The BEST part was the bed – seriously comfy! 😍 The staff were friendly, but the lighting in the bathroom could use a boost. a lovely experience!

    A Comfortable Stay with Charming Details

    We enjoyed our stay in a large double room. The decor featured a delightful horse theme. Dinner was a highlight, with a beautifully presented beef roast. Staff's warmth made us feel welcomed. Pro tip, reserve a table in advance to fully relish the dining experience.

    comfortable bed
    excellent breakfast
    limited sound insulation
    slow service
    crowded parking

    The Large Double Room offered ample desk space and a very comfortable bed, complemented by easy-to-adjust heating. Breakfast featured a great selection, and the pub’s busy atmosphere hinted at quality food, with well-prepared pub grub and a variety of choices. the limited sound insulation between rooms can be a concern. Some aspects of the service could be swifter during peak hours. The parking area might feel crowded on busier evenings, affecting guest convenience.
