Guests say
Hare's Furrow receives glowing praise for its beautiful rural setting, spacious and well-equipped interiors, and welcoming atmosphere. Guests particularly enjoy the peaceful countryside views, hot tub, and en suite bedrooms, making it ideal for families and groups. The hosts are frequently described as friendly and helpful, adding to the homely feel. While a few minor maintenance issues and suggestions for improved seating and fridge space are noted, these do not detract from the overwhelmingly positive experience. Thoughtful touches such as welcome cake and wine are often mentioned, though not guaranteed.
Cleanliness is consistently highlighted, with guests describing the property as spotless, comfortable, and well-maintained. Only one review mentions slightly mouldy outdoor cushions, but this is an isolated comment.
The location is highly praised for its tranquil countryside setting, lovely views, and proximity to local attractions and amenities. Guests appreciate the peacefulness while still being close to shops, pubs, and places of interest.
Guests find the cottage spacious, cosy, and comfortable, especially appreciating the en suite bedrooms and homely décor. Some mention low sofas and mattresses lacking support, but overall comfort is rated very highly.
Facilities such as the hot tub, well-equipped kitchen, and ample parking are frequently praised. Minor issues include limited lounge seating for larger groups, a small fridge, and occasional maintenance needs, but these are outweighed by the positives.
Many guests mention thoughtful touches like homemade cake, wine, and welcome gifts, which enhance their stay. However, as these are not guaranteed for every booking, future guests should not expect them as standard.

What a special time we had at Hare’s Furrow. There were eight of us so we really appreciated four en-suite bathrooms.We had glorious weather for April so could sit outside to eat and chat. A large field surrounded the cottage with a few sheep and lambs to keep us company.The cottage was in the countryside but had easy access to all the walks and places to visit nearby.Two of our party enjoyed the hot tub, an added bonus.The cottage is decorated comfortably and tastefully.Thank you for a lovely weekend.
