The staff went out of their way to be helpful to find a room for someone with mobility problems at present. The food in the restaurant was excellent. The accommodation itself was in a terraced house across the road from the main hotel, and had been beautifully converted to include a bedroom with a comfortable double bed, a bathroom, a kitchen with numerous appliances (including a kettle, microwave, fridge/freezer, washing machine and more), with a modern bathroom and back door which opened onto a small terrace. Everything was spotlessly clean and tastefully decorated. My only minor criticisms concern some points which could easily be put right. Although the accommodation was clearly intended for two people, there was only one chair in the entire place, and not even a small table, which is odd when you have cooking facilities provided! The electric blind in the bathroom did not work, nor did the bedside lamp (presumably just a battery and a bulb which needed replacing). I would recommend this place highly.

An enjoyable experience

We stayed on two occasions over one week and were booked into a small flat each time - this was just across the road from the restaurant.  Excellent stay and we ate at the hotel both nights - one was a Sunday and we thoroughly recommend the Sunday lunch. Manager and staff very friendly even though the bar and restaurant always seems busy.  The food is really nice from a very hard working chef and kitchen.  Melbourne is a small but lovely town with lovely buildings and walks around an estate lake.  Seems to be quite an active community for things going on during the week.  We would definitely stay if down this way again.

Lovely stay and very good food

Brief overnight stay whilst attending an event at Donnington. Easy to find, free parking if resident. Very noisy on arrival early evening but that's to be expected on a Bank Holiday weekend and we were able to have relaxed pre dinner drinks in the courtyard garden. Beautifully appointed bedroom and bathroom (though would have appreciated bottled water in room).  Dinner was fine but what made this stay so enjoyable was the wonderful staff, especially the two young guys who looked after us extremely well and this was most appreciated. Would definitely stay again.

Wonderful staff

Harpur's is a busy, vibrant community pub, with several guest rooms.  Our second floor room was comfortable and warm (thanks to an oil filed radiator as well as central heating), with a well fitted and attractive en-suite shower room.  The staff are friendly and efficient and we liked the informality of the hotel.  Breakfast on Sunday morning was excellent; on this occasion we did not dine in the restaurant.

A lovely three night pre-Christmas mini-break in this interesting village

I have stayed overnight at Harpurs upon quite a few occasions and have always been made to feel very welcome.  It is not overpriced, the rooms are clean and modern, the highlight of the stay is usually dinner in the restaurant, which has a real buzz, the food is high quality with plenty of choice, the service friendly and very helpful, the wine list is extensive.  It’s rather hard to understand the handful of poor reviews here from. my perspective.

A good place to stay

My wife and I were bowled over by the friendly personal welcome we received at this busy bar and restaurant. We were particularly impressed by our waitress, Kacey, whose genuine warmth, wonderful smile and superb efficiency made our evening. The food was really good too!

Great food and brilliant service

Thank you Freya for the great service this evening.  As ever great meal, great environment, great ambience and great service from you.  Great menus with perfect choice.  Phishing selection if you can manage it - awesome.  Thank you and see you again soon.

Great Friday Night treat

Great hotel and excellent service. We stayed here to attend a wedding. Even though our room was not ready on arrival, the manager gave us a room to change in, which was very kind. The room we were finally allocated was in an annexe of the hotel, across the road. The room was very small and the bathroom was so compact, there was not enough space between the shower and toilet.  The mugs in the room were large, which was excellent as I love a large mug of tea. The only downside was the size of the room and the fact they don’t offer breakfast on a Monday, so as it was a bank holiday, there was nowhere else to have breakfast, which was very disappointing.

Great service

Celebrated a family party here, Food was excellent and the service was impeccable: friendly, flexible, attentive and caring, 
We also stayed over in a Harpur’s room but in a cottage over the road rather than in the main building (Victoria Mews). It was adequate but rather small and cramped and noisy to boot. Also at £170 ro incl dog supplement it wasn’t cheap, 
Think we’d return as the village is lovely and we’d like to explore it some more.

Nice room but dear

Stayed at Harpurs for a night on business trip.
Initially on check I was a little concerned as the staff member checking me in seemed a little disorganised , I was also disappointed as I was told breakfast wouldn’t be available the following day. 

Room was ok. Tv placement a little odd, also difficult to open windows to get airflow through. Given the heat opening the windows was important.

I had dinner in the bar. The barman was a breath of fresh air. I am so accustomed to staff that don’t seem to care. Have no knowledge of menu or drinks. This gentleman was the opposite. No request too difficult. I ordered the squid and the pizza. Both very good. Served with nice locally brewed beer.

Overall a good nights stay. I would recommend and will stay again if I need a hotel in the area.
