The beds were very comfortable and the room a good size. Staff were friendly. The food was OK with a good range of hot food for breakfast. We liked the "motel" like character. .

I had to wait 2 nights before my request for a non slip bath mat was met. For two out of the 3 days of our stay, we had almost dead daffodils on the tables in the dining area.. Thanks to Zalea (apologies if I've got the spelling wrong) , this was rectified this morning. It would have helped to know that there is no reception as such, and you have to pick your key up on arrival from the bar.. If we'd known, we would not have dragged our cases through a very busy bar.

It was fine - just adequate for our needs - we we’re visiting the festival of faith and literature in Winchester that weekend. Warm and comfortable. We had a free upgrade to room with king-size bed which was nice. It was nice to have a free welcome drink when we arrived and which we had with our evening meal. Really nice to have log fire. Breakfast was good - staff very pleasant and attentive. We had extra coffee for free with our breakfast which was appreciated. It was good to be able to make drinks in the room and good to have milk in a small fridge for this.

Nothing really. The decor in the dining area was a bit unusual and it took me a while to work out that it was all horse-related - but it was okay. The bathroom door lock needs a bit of attention.

The room was very comfortable, and I liked the outside seating area. The room was nice and quiet.

The kettle was placed at a height which I think is unsafe when dealing with boiling water. The radiator in the bathroom was dangerously hot given how close it was to the entrance to the shower. I appreciate that there is a warning but I don’t think it goes far enough. The light on the fridge was so bright that I had to put a cushion over it at night. I stayed with my sister, on her recommendation as she had stayed with you the year before after our family Christmas. The price was considerably more than the previous year. I think £171 is rather expensive, and I’m not sure I would want to return at that price.

The room had everything needed and wàs quiet, despite being just behind a pub

I asked to buy some milk from the bar. The young girl wouldn't as the fridges were "running hot" and I wouldn't like curdled milk in the morning. She pointed out the fridge was showing 41°. When she left I tried the fridge. Cold!! She needs to know the difference between C and F. Fridge was 5°C. I acquired milk elsewhere which was fine in the fridge. Sorry to go on, but it really irritated me on my arrival

It's a bit like an upmarket motel with the added bonus of being part of a pub/restaurant. The running horse was about 14 minutes from the city of Winchester. Lovely quiet area with ample parking. We had both breakfast and dinner here, and I have to say it was exceptional. The staff were really friendly and happy to help with any requests. The room itself was small; but it really is just somewhere to sleep. There is an espresso machine, kettle, coffee pods and sachets. Tea, sugar,sweetener, kettle and milk is in the fridge. The bed was incredibly comfortable and shower is brilliant. Definitely recommend this place.

Other half was miffed the TV remote didn't work 🙄

Bright character pub with mega friendly and professional team. Motel style with individual rooms away from the pub so no issues with noise or kitchen aromas. Room was spotless and stylish with a nice coffee station. Big room too and they had fired up a large Dyson fan to keep the room nice and cool and fresh. My waitress Sasha was a joy and made great recommendations from the menu - I had 3 courses in the evening and a quick continental breakfast option before I had to shoot. Will definitely stay here again when I’m in the Deep South

Food and drink came to just over £50 for 3 course and a pint of premium lager. Welcome to two thousand and twenty four!

The pub is lovely, with rooms hosted in a very pleasing ‘paddock’ arrangement. Our room was very comfortable with a lovely bed. It had tea, coffee with a Nespresso machine and biscuits, which was a nice touch. There was a smart TV and internet radio, so plenty of entertainment through the wifi. The staff were lovely and the breakfast tasty & good value. We also enjoyed eating at the pub for dinner and the surroundings were beautifully peaceful.

Not a dislike as such, but as an EV driver, a charging point would have been perfect. However, it was a short drive to Winchester’s Tower St car park to top up using the MER network (download the app).

The room was really nicely decorated. Radio was on and it was welcoming. Huge bed, actually two singles (I think) pushed together - but very comfortable.

There’s a little fridge in the room. There was a little sign saying there was fresh milk in the fridge. There wasn’t any. A minor problem, but we didn’t notice until the morning. We ate in the restaurant. Nice menu but the food was pretty average. Apart from that, all good.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. Superb breakfast, with a very flexible attitude to what you could pick. The bed was comfortable and the room well-equipped with kettle, coffee machine, iron, hairdryer. Very nice bathroom and shower.

It's great to have little tables to sit at outside each room, but if you're walking past to your own room it can feel like you're invading other guests' territory. Not a big problem!

My sister and I loved The Running Horse. The staff were amazing and looked after us so well. Special thanks to Sian, Ollie, Julia, Will and best wishes to all. We will recommend The Running Horse to others and hopefully can return ourselves. Hazel and Heather Room 4 Arkle

The only comment we would like to make is there was no rail in the shower which would have been useful for Heather's health issues. However, we did not request this specially and it certainly did not have an effect on our stay.
