Disappointing...
My wife and I stayed here, as it was halfway, en-route to our final destination, Aberdeen.
It started very well - comfy room, quiet location and very friendly staff.
Had dinner in the restaurant - my medium rare steak was incinerated and virtually inedible. The steak was replaced - much, much better, second time around - disappointing that the kitchen didn't do it right the first time - waste of a rib-eye steak/loss of profit for the pub.
This next section is nothing to do with the Hare & Hounds directly. Our car was involved in an incident in the pub car park - some guys had been drinking at pub - they got in their car, smashed into our car and careered over the embankment. Police were involved etc but our car was left immobile - rear quarter smashed and a huge hole in the tyre.
We finally crawled into bed, only to find our room was above the kitchen - the ma-hussive kitchen extraction system made sleep impossible until it was shut down at 2330hrs...
We spoke with staff and they were most apologetic - mmm, an apology after the fact is useless for the lack of sleep.
On a positive note, breakfast was excellent.
