Amelie Jul 11, 2026 06:23:31 PM
Summary: Had a very short cosy stay for a work event at The Running Horses. It was unfortunately a little too cosy for the heatwave as there was no a/c but just a little fan in the room. The bed was very comfy, loved the bathroom - was very clean and some lovely complimentary toiletries. Thank you!

Summary: Great place to stay. There is no air conditioning and in the hottest week of the year the bedroom was stifling and despite having a fan provided it was difficult to sleep. This was the only negative point about our stay. Everything else was excellent
Hannah Jun 27, 2026 06:21:21 PM
Summary: Lovely place to stay for one night on a business trip.
Catherine Jun 14, 2026 09:41:36 PM

Summary: Really nice place to stay Food delicious Lovely quiet area Highly recommended it
Joanna May 11, 2026 02:22:45 PM
Summary: The bed in our room was very comfortable and the room and bathroom had everything we needed for a nights stay. We had breakfast and was disappointed with the quality for the price - the poached eggs were hard and instead of the sourdough it stated on the menu, it came with cheap white bread. This was rectified, however we had to (obviously) wait for our breakfast to be re cooked and our family (who had ordered something different) had finished their breakfast by the time ours arrived. They did take our drinks off the bill, but for £14 each we feel it should have been right the first time.
