Lovely pub, room was great, clean tidy and a little mini fridge with water and fresh milk. Bed was comfy. Cafetiere provided too. Food was very good and the staff were very friendly and helpful. We hadn't booked for dinner but they provided a little table for us which was great. I recommend booking a table as it gets very busy. We stayed on a Friday night. Good access to many of the lakes attractions and some good walks nearby. Would definitely stay again and recommend.

Disappointing...

My wife and I stayed here, as it was halfway, en-route to our final destination, Aberdeen. It started very well - comfy room, quiet location and very friendly staff. Had dinner in the restaurant - my medium rare steak was incinerated and virtually inedible. The steak was replaced - much, much better, second time around - disappointing that the kitchen didn't do it right the first time - waste of a rib-eye steak/loss of profit for the pub. This next section is nothing to do with the Hare & Hounds directly. Our car was involved in an incident in the pub car park - some guys had been drinking at pub - they got in their car, smashed into our car and careered over the embankment. Police were involved etc but our car was left immobile - rear quarter smashed and a huge hole in the tyre. We finally crawled into bed, only to find our room was above the kitchen - the ma-hussive kitchen extraction system made sleep impossible until it was shut down at 2330hrs... We spoke with staff and they were most apologetic - mmm, an apology after the fact is useless for the lack of sleep. On a positive note, breakfast was excellent.
