We stayed overnight as we were visiting relatives to celebrate my grandmother and fathers birthdays. We booked 7 rooms and every room was beautifully furnished and spacious, no expense has been spared in the quality of the fixtures and fittings.We booked into the restaurant for dinner and the food and service was faultless. Breakfast was again excellent although the light... More

I am a business traveller mainly and don't like business hotels. However, I still need certain criteria when I am staying. Mainly comfortable and clean room with attention to detail, good sized bathroom, Wi-Fi and (as a lone female traveller) a sense of security and helpful staff. Although this is essentially a pub with rooms, it is so much more.... More

Having read the reviews online we decided to call as we'd not arranged anything for our wedding anniversay. We spoke to David who very kindly managed to get a lovely table for us in the conservatory at short notice. I'm always dubious of local resturants as Northampton has many wannabe fine dining pubs. Well all I can say was I... More

We stayed here recently on business. Having had bad experiences in the past with hotels in the Northampton area this is a real find. The restaurant is the best in the area, and the staff all went that extra bit for us all. I would certainly recommend the Hopping Hare to anyone working in the Northampton area.

This is an "inn with rooms" style of hotel. The rooms are small but are tastefully furnished with shower rooms rather than bathrooms (at least in all the rooms I've ever stayed in, 4 for the record). The hotel offers free wifi which is a bonus and there is a room service menu which offers some really tasty options. The... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
When my family bought the Hopping Hare in 2006 our aim was to create an escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, somewhere just a bit different. A place to dine, stay or meet up and relax with friends, family or colleagues. We didn't want it to be stuffy, intimidating or over the top. We set about creating luxurious rooms, a subtle, sophisticated bar with a great selection of quality drinks and a restaurant offering some of the best food to be found in Northampton. As a family owned and operated business, we set the standards on service, value for money, atmosphere and personality. No detail has been overlooked in creating a hotel, restaurant and bar in Northampton with an individual blend of 21st-century chic, high standards and a laid back friendly feel that we are sure you'll begin to notice as soon as you step inside. We've got to know some of our guests well because they come back time after time. In fact, 2010 saw the completion of an extension to the hotel to meet increased demand for accommodation from a growing clientele. My team and I would love to welcome you to stay for brunch, lunch, dinner or just a drink. Once the Hopping Hare is on your radar we guarantee you'll be back.
