One of the nicest cottages we have stayed in. Everything you could possibly want was there. Easy access to all the delights of the Durham Dales and surrounding areas. An excellent holiday and we would love to come again in the future.

This is the second time we have been to Hare Cottage and will use it again. Extremely comfortable and cosy. We like the separate living room which at night was so warm and cosy. So close to so many areas of natural beauty and just a stones throw away from the coast.

We love Hare Cottage! Its a perfect size for us, plenty of space for crafting or working. Close enough as a base to go into Durham regularly. Very peaceful and in a really beautiful area. Clean and tidy, lovely towels and bedding, great shower room, comfortable furniture, bright and airy. Parking alongside.

Hare cottage is great for a couple or single occupancy. My wife and myself had a lovely 7 night stay there from the 20th to the 27th of June 2025. It is situated in a lovely part of the country. It has all you need and would expect. It was money well spent. Great value. And the farm cafe next door was a nice bounce

We enjoyed our stay in this delightful little cottage. Clean, comfortable and peaceful. In a beautiful area. We mentioned a few minor issues to the owners, after we returned home, as they were not worth disrupting our holiday time to get them sorted. If these little niggles were rectified, wed stay in Hare Cottage again.
