The Hare on the Hill Warwick

The magic Hare: friendly people, inspired breakfast (veggie & carnivorous), green ethos, colourful & contemporary rooms. Philip Larkin stayed in 1941, and described the food as 'b**g*ring good'.

The cook has changed but the spirit remains. This is no typical b&b: Prue seeks to make your stay a special one with memorable bedrooms - some with 4 poster beds and organic mattresses - equipped with all the usual extras plus a cd player, CDs, organic Bombay mix and Green and Blacks chocolate. There is a gorgeous garden with terrace and chickens, a large sitting room in which to socialise with your friends and off-street parking. The Hare offers fabulous food for breakfast using organic, Fairtrade and locally sourced ingredients and won the Coventry and Warwickshire food and drink award for 'Inspired Breakfast of the Year 2005'. This award is given to the place which, in the judges' opinion, provides the best breakfast in the county and champions the use of local foods. This is a haven for corporate refugees who are fed up with anonymous hotels. There is wireless internet connection throughout the house, tables in some rooms and plenty of table space available. The landlady is a Warwick MBA and is happy to be a sounding board, even if ignorant...but often articulation is more important than response. Laminating and photocopying services are also available, but not fax.

Rooms

Cliffe Hill ()

The Cliffe Hill is a quiet and soothing cream and tan room with ample fitted wardrobes and a large bay window overlooking the front of the house. It is home to 2 lovely Australian landscapes, one an aboriginal dream painting.
Number of Beds:

Lord Leycester ()

Pink and gorgeous - ideal for lovers and honeymooners. The Lord Leycester is a funky pink room. The room overlooks the garden and has a distant view of the castle. It is Prue's take on a honeymoon suite, furnished with some Gordon Russell furniture, including a dressing table made especially for Prue's mother in 1950s style.
Number of Beds:

Philip Larkin ()

The Philip Larkin is a cosy (yes, that does mean fairly small) coral- coloured room that is large enough to invite a couple of friends in.
Number of Beds:

Castle ()

The Castle room has a Betty Joel chest of drawers and Gordon Russell bedside tables. Pictures include a large painting about life and fate by Hugh Dunford Wood, another strange semi abstract by him and a fine Mary Moore.
Number of Beds:

Garden ()

The Garden overlooks the garden but is situated off a small internal lobbya. For this reason it can be let in conjunction with the Guy's Cliffe room, a single bedroom (or twin with put up bed), immediately opposite across the landing. It has several pictures by Hugh Dunford Wood: a pair of landscapes showing the same vista in different seasons, an early drawing and a small painting of the garden at his old family house, lovingly created by Hugh and Emma, his wife then, out of an old milking yard.
Number of Beds:

Wear Giffard ()

The Wear Giffard room, with organic mattresses, is located on the ground floor, with one small step up into the shower room. It has a fabulous painting by Jila Peacock called 'Learning to Fly' and a very interesting Ethiopian/Eritrean painting.
Number of Beds:

Warwick ()

The Warwick is a large room. Its furniture includes wonderful 1920s furniture designed by Betty Joel: a fabulous dressing table and a pair of tall thin chests of drawers. There is also an interesting late Victorian ash wardrobe with ebony rounds, which perfectly compliments the modern Scandinavian sixties-style fabrics. The art work is mostly by Mary Moore, an Australian artist who studied in London.
