"Such a lovely place to stay."
Everything that you could need was provided and the furnishing was done to a very high standard. It was so relaxing and comfortable. The surrounding area was great for walking and exploring straight from the lodge and coming back to the comfy living room with its real log fire was so cosy. We would highly recommend The Hare’s Shack.

"Hands down the most beautiful place we have ever stayed."
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 wouldn’t hesitate to come back again.

"The Hare's shack is all you see in the pictures and more."
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.

"Absolutely fabulous stay!"
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in The Hare’s Shack. It was so clean, beautifully decorated and cosy. The weather outside might have been poor but to be honest we were pleased as it meant we could spend all our time inside with the fire on. The lodge has everything you would need. Chris and Julie have thought of everything. Thanks to Julie for the welcome pack and Chris for showing us around upon arrival and making sure we had enough logs. The estate you have created is something to be so proud of. We have already booked to bring our family back to The Old Water Mill in December 2025!!! As it was already booked up for 2024. If you are contemplating staying here you will not be disappointed. Book quick and discover a real gem.

"Very welcoming on arrival Chris made sure we understood everything when showing us around the cabin."
Julie made a complimentary basket a lovely thought. The cabin was amazing so comfortable and relaxing and bonus phones dont work unless on wi fi. The view was amazing. It had everything you need for a weeks stay. It has been done to a very high standard. It was very clean on arrival over rall we would say 10 out of 10. And it's a first for us and we have stayed in lots of places. Oh and the log fire was lovely being able to light it and see it from the living area and also bedroom was fantastic. Thank you Chris and Julie we will definitely be back. We would highly recommend this cabin . Alex and Leann ( Sunderland).

"The Hares Shack was absolutely perfect!"
Chris and Julie have thought of absolutely everything and the attention to detail is incredible. There has been no expense spared on this property and it really shows. Chris met us when we arrived and he was so nice and knowledgeable. Julie had made us up a wee basket of local goods and everything to start our holiday. They truly do think of everything. Our time there was absolutely perfect and we were so sad to leave. Definitely recommend this to everyone and we will most definitely be back! Thank you Chris and Julie, it was fab!

Spotlessy clean, extremely well equipped and
So obviously created with love and attention to detail. Faultless in every way.
Chris welcomed us and showed us everything we needed to know and told us about the local area. Extremely friendly and informative.
We climbed the mountain that is literally in the back garden. Highly recommended, the views are outstanding.
This is one of, if not, the best places we have ever stayed. We can't wait to return.

"This property is absolutely fantastic!"
It exudes comfort and a warm welcome. Located in a serene spot, it's truly a breathtaking place to stay. The wonderful views of the hills and the beautiful sound of the running brook creates a deeply relaxing atmosphere. We were delighted by the thoughtful additions like local coffee, milk, cake, and even a BBQ setup. Our holiday was truly made special thanks to your attention to detail.

"Absolutely beautiful little shack, great views."
Well equipped and thought out. Great location just 4 miles away from Kendal but private enough to be hidden away. You really wouldn’t know it was there as you drive past the A road above the property. A real gem.

"This was such a gorgeous accommodation to stay in if you are visiting the Lake District with clear routes to Kendal, Windermere and also Barrow in Furness!"
On arrival to the Hares Shack we were met by Chris one of the property owners and he was so friendly and chatty which made us feel so welcome! He recommended very delicious pubs such as the Masons Arms, The Black Labrador, and also the Hawkshead Brewery (if you do go here go to Kimi’s Gelato). Chris also recommended walking up the mountain that is literally in the garden of the Shack, it is a must climb if you go!
I would love to come back and stay again at this amazing accommodation. We felt so relaxed and at peace when we were here and would 100% recommend to anyone looking at this lodge!
P.s keep your eyes peeled for wildlife as you may see the local resident Harry the Hare while you are there as we did and he was very cute :).

Chris and Julie the owners are very welcoming and very helpful on where to visit and where to go to eat. The shack itself is lovely and clean and set in an ideal and tranquil place surrounded by nature, but also in an ideal spot to get to all the lakes and other attractions easily. Will definitely be visiting again soon as still a lot of places and walks to still to do. Highly recommend

"Our stay at The Hare’s Shack was perfect."
Chris welcomed us after a long drive and made sure we understood everything at the shack. Everything was really clean and it was fully equipped for anything you need for a break away. So often there are things you wish you had but that was not the case here. There is a fridge and freezer, dishwasher and also a washing machine as well! For cookware there are plenty of pots and pans and trays and even some baking items as well. The description of the shack is accurate and the outdoor tub is great (it’s not a hot tub but a jacuzzi bath so not nasty chemicals). Chris and Julie were really knowledgeable of the local surroundings and are super friendly and welcoming. We can’t wait to return again!

"Everything about the Hare's Shack was perfect!"
From the warm welcome to the beautiful decor and the gorgeous scenery, we couldn't have asked for more and enjoyed our stay immensely. It was nice and clean, the bedding soft and luxurious and there were lots of lovely finishing touches that made the place feel very special and left us wanting for nothing. My absolute favourite thing was waking up and seeing the sheep, the deer (including two beautiful fawns) and even glimpsing the shack's namesake, Harry the hare, at the rear of the lodge whilst sat eating breakfast on the decking. I am only sad that we had to leave in somewhat of a hurry (for personal reasons) and I couldn't find a pen to write in the guest book. Sorry Chris and Julie that we had to exit so hastily, but thank you for providing us with a truly wonderful place to stay whilst visiting the Lake District and we hope to return in the future (maybe in Winter next time so we can utilise the log burner!).

"We found the Hare Shack last minute online."
From the second we got there, we were in heaven.
The accommodation was absolutely stunning in the most beautiful location. It was in a quiet area near Kendal but only 15 minutes drive from the town centre. We were able to go for lovely walks along the fields and see the wonderful scenery and see all of the sheep and walk along the stream that runs through where the accommodation is located.
The owners, Chris and Julie were the sweetest, most caring and kind people and amazing hosts. They were always there to help, chat and let us know about any good places to go and see. They had literally thought of everything in their welcome book, even how to do the fireplace correctly. We found some amazing restaurants and cafes from their book and visited some of them twice.
I cannot recommend this place enough. Chris, Julie and their lovely daughter came out to see us off, which was so thoughtful. We have already spoken to them about returning next year with our family.
If you can....GO!!
