Certainly an odd place for a hotel but looks lovely as you drive up. We booked to stay one night in a king sized room. The room was beautifully decorated, the bed was enormous and comfortable with clean and crisp white linen. The en-suite was huge, a good shower with plenty of hot water. Tea and coffee for the morning... More

Dear Emjay, Thank you for your review. The Hopping Hare is a former Manor House and a wonderful building and I am pleased to say very well situated for both Northampton town, nearby villages and tourist attractions and the M1. At the week-ends we offer a room rate of £50 for couples dining in the restaurant, subject to availability. Full... More

We loved the Hopping Hare! Great rooms, amazing house, lovely staff, delicious food. We felt so welcome here and came across it through recommendation. We would stay again tomorrow. The setting is a bit strange as it is in a very residential area but even sitting in the garden you dont realize this.

Dear Terry, I am pleased that your breakfast was excellent and that you considered that the room was to a high standard. Our laundry is packed and stored for collection downstairs. Unfortunately our cleaners forgot on this occasion and the laundry bag was left overnight in the corridor. Our apologies. Kind regards, David. 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

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.

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.
