Hare's Furrow is a well-received cottage offering a peaceful setting and homely atmosphere. Guests appreciate the spacious, en suite bedrooms, well-equipped kitchen, and the added luxury of a hot tub. The surrounding countryside, complete with sheep and donkeys, enhances the rural charm. While some minor maintenance issues are noted, the overall experience is one of relaxation and enjoyment, with thoughtful touches like homemade cake and wine adding to the welcome.
There is no specific mention of cleanliness in the reviews, so it is not possible to provide a score for this category.
The location is consistently praised for its lovely rural setting and proximity to local attractions and towns. The peaceful countryside views and the presence of farm animals contribute to a relaxing environment.
The comfort of the property is generally well-regarded, with guests finding the bedrooms comfortable and the house warm. However, some guests mention that the mattresses lack support and the lounge seating is insufficient for larger groups.
Facilities are appreciated, especially the well-equipped kitchen and en suite bathrooms. However, points are deducted for maintenance issues like fridge repairs, door closures, and the need for more comfortable sofas and additional storage space.
Guests frequently mention the thoughtful gestures of a homemade cake and wine upon arrival, which are greatly appreciated. However, it should be noted that such gifts, while delightful, are not guaranteed with every stay.

An excellent short stay at Hare's Furrow - the cottage is in a lovely location on the farm property and not overlooked at all.The bedrooms were large and all en suite and comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped and there is a large dining table with plenty of chairs. The sofas in the lounge area are very low which made it a little more awkward for elderly folk !
