The Running Horse is a very good personable country pub with rooms which are very well appointed with comfortable beds. The staff were very welcoming and friendly and we had a business lunch in their semi private room which was simple but excellent. The only reason I marked them down a little was because of several carpet stains that I do feel should be removed - or if not removable then they should put in a new carpet as they were large and off putting. Highly recommended!

The Running Horse is the perfect pub and Inn for a day or evening destination. The grounds are absolutely beautiful and include beautiful walking paths around a cold. The restaurant is creatively decorated in horse stable themes and has lots of cozy nooks. The best part was the service from checkin to dinging to breakfast. Shout out to Ollie who was working his tail off with a big smile. The outdoor seating is soaked in fresh flowers and things to keep the kids playing on long summer nights. Rooms could not have been cuter. Styled rustic yet warm modern with a comfortable bed and excellent shower. Love this place.

Apart from some small minor issues, the Running Horse proved to be a great place to stay for my two night trip away with two "old" friends. Comfy rooms but I had to turn off my fridge at night due to the noise. Liked that we could sit outside our rooms in the evening, chatting. Good food, hot and tasty. Accept Blue Light card for meals. The staff were all very friendly and helpful, couldn't fault them. It's very near Winchester and we enjoyed a visit to Mottisfont Abbey nearby. We would stay again.

This was our second visit as we had thoroughly ended our first visit. And we were not disappointed. We stayed in the winners enclosure ( if you book direct you get a room upgrade, a drink on arrival and later check out til 12 and breakfast included!) The welcoming drink was very well received and all the staff that day were welcoming and polite. The room was warm cosy and bed so comfy. It’s a great place to stay as a couple or with other friends/family. We will be back again in a few months to enjoy another evening away. Thank you to all at the Running Horse.
