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.
