An upscale, 18th-century coaching inn with boutique style inspired by the area’s racing history, in a perfect position for exploring the North Wessex Downs – includes breakfast, dinner credit options, late check-out and more
-
Well-heeled style: As boutique pubs go, Hare & Hounds Newbury is seriously stylish. The hotel (and former coaching inn) has taken inspiration from the equestrian world, decking the place out in equestrian prints, photography and traditional fittings. Drive a few miles down the road and you’ll spot the real thing, charging up the gallops of the Berkshire Downs.
-
Farm-to-fork approach: The award-winning dining on offer is a celebration of local grub, designed around freshly sourced ingredients from the immediate area. Menus change with the seasons and pub classics are given an innovative twist. Breakfast options include the full English, eggs any way you can imagine and filled brioche baps.
-
Smell the roses: When the sun shines, make the most of it with a cocktail outside in the pub’s charming rose garden, where there’s a sun trap terrace for soaking up the rays. For a truly special occasion, book an afternoon tea service and sip bottomless tea and coffee (or a glass of champagne) while you nibble sandwiches, scones and miniature cakes (fees apply).
How to get there
You’ll find your boutique bolthole just west of central Newbury in the village of Speen, about six minutes’ drive (two miles) from Newbury’s station. Trains from London Paddington take about 90 minutes.
Entry requirements
The passport, visa and health requirements at the time of booking can be viewed on the Foreign and Commonwealth Office website for UK citizens, and on the Department of Foreign Affairs website for IE citizens. It is your responsibility to ensure that you and all members of your party are in possession of all necessary travel and health documents, and in compliance with any other immigration/entry requirements before you travel, including whether your passport must be machine readable or which visas/waivers may be required for entry, such as ESTA for USA travel and/or ETIAS for EU travel. Please also be sure to check the validity of your passport and allow up to 10 weeks for passport renewals.
Newbury
Make a horsey weekend of it and time your stay at the Hare & Hounds with a day at the races; Newbury Racecourse has 31 days of action per year, on the flat and over jumps, with different enclosures available to suit. If you’d prefer a more up close and personal experience, many of the area’s racing trainers open up their doors for visits, so you could get to know the horses personally before you put a bet on.
Locally, the North Wessex Downs has excellent walking – bring your wellies for a bracing stomp up to Watership Down and the chalk downland hills encompassed by the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Nearby you’ll find the Kennet and Avon Canal; dreamy days can be spent gliding along the waters on a hire boat, spotting all manner of wildlife. You're only a short drive from Highclere Castle – one of the most recognisable country estates in England, and the filming location for the much-loved TV drama Downton Abbey.
