Hares Retreat Reviews

Neil
Peaceful lovely location, idyllic, great for dogs. Beautiful walks and country. The ad for the cabin noted only 2 dogs however we wanted to take all three of our dogs with us. After a brief phone call the owner had no issue with us bringing all of our dogs and even managed to accommodate us a very short notice. Beyond pleased. Would return without hesitation.
Andrew
Very nice clean cabin, brilliant location if going out and about.
Paul
We chosen a quiet holiday our neighbour is very noisy so we needed to get away for a week. Though the weather wasnâ??t great it didnâ??t matter we just wanted peace and quiet and thatâ??s what we got. No noise at all, lovely part of the country. We did venture out every day. We had to walk the dogs every day but even the dogs were happy and seemed to enjoy the peace and quiet. We are thinking of going again hopefully before this year is over. Thoroughly enjoyed our time there.
