  The Hare and Hounds was the most wonderful venue for our reception, and we couldn't be happier - we had the absolute best day. We booked a late availability winter package with around 5 months between booking and the day. The team at the Hare and Hounds were outstanding - patient and enthusiastic, which are the most important qualities in organising an unique wedding. The setting was gorgeous - christmassy and festive, but classy and opulant. It allowed for stunning photos by the trees, both inside and out. We had an Afternoon Tea when we arrived, with the wedding breakfast later at dinner time. Both meals were incredible, and our guests continue to talk about the beef! As the bride was vegetarian, the Chef was flexible to allow the same meal with a vegetarian alternative (pithvier) to the beef. The team worked with one of our guests who had numerous allergies to create an alternative, and our guest was really happy. The service was so well organised - we had 45 guests, and the team got the meals out almost at exactly the same time, so everyone was eating together. Meals were placed in front of the table at the same time, which was a lovely touch. Service was brilliant on the day. The wedding coordinator, Mia, looked after us for most of the day, and then left us in the hands of the duty manager and a dedicated barman. The team was really flexible with our photoshoots - we had inside and outside photos across the hotel and grounds, and a sparkler shot. The day was above and beyond what we expected, and we are so grateful to the time, dedication and care from the team.

  Thank you so much for your lovely message and for organising such a fantastic wedding weekend! We had a wonderful time and loved every minute.
  We can’t thank all the staff at the Hare & Hounds enough, everyone gave such exceptional and friendly service which all our guests commented on. Nothing was too much trouble and really made us feel special.
  Everyone has also highlighted how amazing the food was, so please give our utmost thanks to the kitchen team as well.
  Thank you for being so helpful, responsive and completely on it with all the planning. Robbie and I felt so reassured by your management of everything.
  No doubt we will be back to stay at the Hare & Hounds in the future!

  We are not remotely exaggerating when we say the day was absolutely magical ! You all pre-empted issues and had solutions in place before we could even notice and the difference you and the team made from the room we set up in the evening to the morning/rest of the day was insane! We couldn't believe how well your team could transition the rooms between everything and all our guests said what a lovely, relaxed and amazing day they'd had! This was all down to all of you, so thank you so much!!
  We couldn't have asked for anymore for our special day and will be recommending the venue to all our friends (including the happy couple who got engaged that evening) and will definitely be returning ourselves in the future.

  I just wanted to express our thanks for your help in making our wedding such a special and memorable occasion, it really was everything we were hoping for.
  The venue was perfect for our winter wedding theme and all our guests really enjoyed their stay also.
  I think you and your team deserve so much praise as everyone was friendly and attentive and the service we received really was faultless. The food was also fantastic across our entire stay.
  So thanks again for a genuinely exceptional experience.

  Now the dust has settled following Rebecca and Jamie's wedding, my wife and I have had time to reflect on the whole occasion. From the day that Rebecca met with you and decided to have her wedding at the Hare and Hounds Hotel, everything has been handled with outstanding professionalism and a complete understanding to what was required.
  
  The actual wedding day was just about perfect from start to finish. The guy who seemed to be orchestrating everything was superb, his attention to detail was outstanding. But this was not just about one or two people, all of the staff involved at the hotel played a significant part in our enjoyment of this occasion. From reception, to Bar, Waiters, Housekeeping and Chefs/kitchen staff are all a credit to the hotel. Also, the hotel is magnificent, the décor, furnishing, seating, rooms and cottages in the grounds are stunning. So many people came up to me and commented on what a wonderful venue for a wedding.
  
  So, I would just like to thank you and everyone who was involved in what I can only describe as one of the best run hotels I have stayed in for a long time. Nothing was too much trouble and everything was done with a smile, wonderful. I would be grateful if you could make sure my comments are passed on to everyone concerned at the hotel.
