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

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.

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.

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 .

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.

A three night stay

Good clean room, although there were some works being done in the adjacent woodland with much noise and some smoke during the daytime. I assume that this was a short term activity. The contractors were parked in the car park and this was not mentioned during our stay and no apology given, although the impact was minimal for us. The decking outside the rooms was covered with a waterproof sheet meaning water pooled - again minimal impact. We did not eat here as the food was slightly expensive, although we did have a couple of drinks - again slightly on the pricey side. The rooms are outdoors with a decked walkway to the bar and breakfast area. The bed was comfortable, and the shower and toiletries provided excellent. The breakfast was very good - we did not try the cooked options however. The hot water dispenser needs a sign showing how to operate because more than one person got confused. It was only straightforward once you had been told. Limited choice of breakfast cereals, but excellent bread for toast. Limited choice of jams. Good range of yoghurts and fruit. Coffee good. The hotel is in a nice location, although public transport into Winchester from just outside is quite limited - if you want to return in the afternoon, be prepared to do some walking. Driving into Winchester takes about 15 minutes.

Lodge type accommodation, a little tired in places and very soft worn mattress. Staff were very pleasant, helpful, we booked dinner that was very good and excellent VFM, paid extra for a Cooke breakfast that was also excellent.

Very relaxing

What a gem of a find. We took our dog with us and it was a very pet friendly place. Our room was clean and tidy and the food in the pub was amazing. The service was very good. We will return for a second visit

A quiet place outside of town

I used this as a one night stay as part of a cycle trip. A good quiet restful stop, lovely bed and a good shower, all that I needed. It was let down for me in the evening when my previously booked table for one in the restaurant at 18:30hrs was not then available - work that one out. The only options in the bar area was a six seater table or a more suitable one which required a local being moved and then to cap it off the fish and chips was average at best. The good buffet continental breakfast though set me up for the day.

Our room was clean with nice thick towels a good selection of teas and good bathroom products. A plentiful continental breakfast was included in the price. We liked the little courtyard with seating and plants which was available for guests to use near the accommodation.

This is a charming dining pub with rooms, and I and three friends had a delightful overnight stay here. The staff were very friendly and the food was really very good at lunch and especially at dinner. Breakfast, however, was rather disappointing - very poor coffee, and very 'bready' croissants that I think had not quite properly been fully cooked. The rooms are fine, although rather stuffy in hot weather - little ventilation (and, of course, no a/c). But overall, a charming place.

A lovely find

Our first stay away from home in over a year, and it was just lovely. The general area was idyllic - quiet countryside with loads of trees, fields and birds. The room was great - nicely furnished with a modern twist, and a very comfortable bed. Even though they were practically full, it was really peaceful at night. Lastly the food was great. The roast Sunday lunch was probably the best meal of our whole trip. Breakfast was good too. Looking forward to returning.

Lovely place. Bedrooms comfortable. Great staff. The food very good... apart from breakfast which was poor on both days.

Maximum level of dirty I would accept

This was probably the maximum of dirty room I would accept without walking out, I don’t expect a hotel room to be forensically clean but the carpet in our room needs pulling up, burning and deposed of as a bio hazard! There were a few hairs in the bed and shower and sooo many cobwebs but you are in the country. We liked the good amount of hand and body wash you get, it’s nice stuff too. The milk sachets were mouldy though. Staff at dinner were overwhelmed but handled it really well, they were very nice but for the price you pay there’s a huge lack of attention to detail. I wouldn’t pay to stay here again as i think it’s al very overpriced for what it is. Food was nice but very expensive for what it is. We got a good special offer price but I’d be livid if we’d have paid anymore.

One night to see friend Excellent

We had a lovely night at the Running Horse. Staff were all very careful about safety measures. Our room was spotless and we had a very nice meal. There was a little confusion over breakfast but was soon sorted out, everyone is getting used to new ways of doing things. we shall return.
