Alice
Beautiful lodge, housed three adults and two large dogs just fine. Pretty much everything you need is there. Knives aren’t very sharp so could do with a sharpener for those that like to cook. It was windy when we were there and it created some sort of knocking at the back of lodge where the bedroom is. We really loved the stay and didn't feel like going too far from the farm, the Alma inn was really the only place we went which is absolutely brilliant.

The Hare lodge was perfect for us, 2 x adults, 1 baby and 1 dog. It had everything we needed for a really relaxing few days away. Everything is so nice and new and all just feels super clean and fresh. The whole lodge is just so cosy, and so we didn't get out much, opting to stay inside chilling, cooking, watching tele, admiring the views. It was perfect!
