Sharron
The views were breathtaking even on a rainy day. Inside hares shack, nothing was forgotten, it was so well equipped and it felt like home. The bed (which is always a concern when away) was extremely comfortable and we slept like babies all week. We honestly cannot find any fault, not even a niggle with this place, and the host Chris is so lovely and helpful, and so full of knowledge! We honestly wouldnât hesitate to come back again.

Beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The hosts were very lovely and left us a welcome pack which was very kind. Chris, who showed us around was very informative about the local area. The area is stunning, it really feels like you are getting away from it all.

Having a bath outside, log fire in the bedroom and living room, wonderful. Everything you would need is there, from logs to a disposable bbq, binoculars etc. Lovely welcome pack and Chris is an amazing host. 3 nights was not enough.
