Love this restaurant and everyone who works there . We have been three times and each time they have been great and the food amazing . They are great with my son who chose to go here for his 11th birthday last night . We didnt organise any special cake or let them know but the ladies serving and the chef made it special anyway . Thanks so much .

Fantastic hotel just outside of town centre. Far more superior and great value. Lovely staff and spotlessly clean throughout. Nice quality food and bar area. I always stay in this hotel when working in Northampton. 11/10 Neil Winstone Alfriston East Sussex

Very small portions, overpriced and after dining there once, we won't be back! It must be the only place in Northampton where you can pay a fortune for a meal and still be hungry afterwards.....We had a takeaway on the way home!

We had a ground floor room with a King size bed. The room was lovely, the bathroom large. The bed was super comfy. We had dinner the night we stayed and it was lovely. Highly recommend if you need to stay in Northampton

We stayed here for two nights and had dinner both times. Exceptional food with some of the tastes being extraordinary and unique. Dessert presentation was an art form. The staff were very friendly and kind, very hard-working, and went out of their way to ensure taxis arrived for us and that we had everything we needed. The location is leafy without being countryside. This is not billed as a four or five star hotel. The Hopping Hare markets itself as a four star inn. That is correct - there were no mattress toppers and the double bed the first night was a narrow one. There is also no separate check-in desk for the rooms; you check in at the bar and consequently the check-in process feels a little less welcoming than in some high quality hotels where staff appear, at least, to take an interest. The checking in is just one more job the bar staff have to do on top of their ongoing duties at the bar. On the other side of things though, both rooms had wonderful en-suites and fabulous deep baths, something you can't count on getting in high-end hotels. The Hopping Hare is not overly expensive and we would stay here again.

My family from different locations in the UK stayed for the weekend to celebrate my mother's 90th birthday with local family joining us. The service was great and nothing was to much trouble and all the staff were very friendly, the food excellent with super flexibility regarding some requests for particular meals 'outside' of normal hours (i.e. a later breakfast due to going park running!) and rooms were lovely and comfortable.

Last minute plans meant we stayed one night here at late notice. Firstly, the staff are lovely, and the meal was AMAZING. This isn't pub grub, this is a chef who knows how to cook. It's just unfortunate that the room wasn't great too. In context we ended up in an accessible room on the ground floor (not sure why) which is kitted out for disabled residents. I'm still unconvinced someone who's disabled wouldn't have the same issue we did with the bathroom. The main light and fan came on automatically when the door was opened, and stayed on for a full five minutes. If there's a way of turning them off, we couldn't find it. In the middle of the night, a blinding light and loud fan woke us up then kept us awake. I can't believe anyone is going to appreciate that. Other than that, and if you're only eating there, I can't stress enough how good the food is!
