"I loved the set up of the rooms , they were off the outside patio area and all self contained."
"We had the healthiest full english breaksfast ever, as heathy that it can be, with option for poached/ scrambled eggs instead of greasy fried eggs."

“The Running Horse strikes me as a reliably comfortable choice for families, especially those travelling with dogs; the rural setting, just outside Winchester, is appealing. I imagine the pub makes a welcome sight after a day exploring nearby attractions like Winchester Cathedral and the New Forest. I particularly appreciate the focus on sourcing local produce for their seasonal menu.”
