A stopover on our way to Scotland - 4 or 5 miles from the M6. A warm welcome in the bar (and the beers) after battling the traffic on the M6 was just what I needed! We shared the fish platter which was great and finished off with a tasty pud. A good night’s sleep and an excellent cooked breakfast completed our night’s stay. All the staff were most helpful and friendly and the pub has lots of character. We shall call in again when travelling north!

It was very ‘quirky’ which I liked. It’s an old property and it hasn’t been spoiled by over modernisation.

A hidden gem
Better than expected, an absolute hidden gem! The room (barn annexe) was beautiful, all furnishings were high quality, you can tell the owners really care. We didn't have our dogs with us, but this room is suitable for those travelling with their paw-pals and even had a lovely dog bed in the cupboard if needed. The bed was amazingly comfortable (locally handmade mattress apparently!), the kitchen facilities were great, and the bathroom was luxurious. Everything was sparkling clean. We were travelling with our 4 month old, the owners provided a travel cot - best travel cot we have ever used! It was a super thick John Lewis mattress included, our baby slept so well. So many thoughtful touches - high quality toiletries, tea, fresh coffee & fresh milk, brownies etc. We ate in the restaurant for dinner and breakfast and the food matched the quality of the room, so tasty and well presented. The staff couldn't do enough for us and were incredibly friendly. I will be recommending The Hare & Hounds to everyone who will listen!

Excellent stay
We have family in Levens and regularly visit but this was the first time we had stayed at the Hare and Hounds. Our room (Bennett) was lovely and the bed was extremely comfortable. Breakfast was delicious and the staff friendly and helpful. We didn’t have dinner on this occasion but have eaten here many times before and can highly recommend dining here.

We stayed at the Hare and Hounds following a long motorcycle ride from Aviemore. We stayed in the Barn Annex, which was superb, with separate bathroom, lounge /kitchen, and bedroom. It was a perfect space to relax in after a long ride. We had a fantastic evening meal in the attached pub/ restaurant, and there was a good selection of dishes, wines and local beers to enjoy. There was a great atmosphere and the staff we very friendly. The restaurant was very popular and was fully booked, so I would recommend booking a table at the same time as booking the accommodation. Breakfast was also high quality, and set us up nicely for our return journey to the south of England. From a bikers perspective the carpark, which opposite the pub is gravel and on a slope, so not the easiest to navigate, but the staff allowed us to park on some hatch markings by the bin store, which was flat and made manoeuvring a lot easier. I would definitely stay here again, and look forward to the next opportunity to return

Happy!
A very friendly place which makes you feel immediately at home. The room was tasteful and so clean. Little touches like fresh milk and "proper" sized mugs in the room were appreciated. Good food and thoughtfully presented with a good choice of wine. Their array of local ales was impressive, sampled and enjoyed. I'd stay here again.

The perfect location.
A delightful stop during a long journey. Very comfortable room and squeaky clean en suite bathroom. Friendly, pleasant staff and tasty food. We loved the excellent village shop and found two marvellous plant nurseries nearby. It was just the right distance off the M6.

Fabulous find!
Fabulous! A last minute decision to have a night in the Lake District, led us to find this gem. From the warm welcome on arrival, to the beautiful room, we were smitten! Lovely welcome tray in the room, including chocolate brownies, fresh milk and chilled cans of water in a small fridge. A very comfortable king sized bed, beautiful quality fixtures and fittings and a really lovely bathroom with complimentary bath products. We ate in the pub, excellent, burger a big hit! After a restful nights sleep we enjoyed a generous breakfast, full English! Great location and have already recommended to friends!
