We stayed at Hare’s Furrow for my daughter’s 40th birthday. We had a really lovely time, and enjoyed the house and hot tub immensely. All was lovely, clean and very comfortable and well equipped.. The owners, Sarah and Mark were really nice and friendly. Thank you.

We stayed last week for a family getaway the weather wasn’t fantastic but the overall facilities were. Couple of things could do with changing bigger shower enclosures & larger fridge along with a fully covered seating area. But overall excellent the owners were brilliant as well we would stay again

Lovely accommodation, the hosts had made a cake for us which was lovely for when we arrived . Also the hosts were happy to chop some wood for us so we could use the fire pit outside. Hot tub very clean and nice with lights. Would have been excellent all round but one of the taps was not working in the bath tub upstairs and some of fittings need changing for the bathrooms as they had quite a bit of wear and tear (down stairs shower handle and bathroom door). Overall thou and excellent place to stay, would recommend, the host Mark was very helpful and accommodating.
