  • "We arrived on Bank Holiday Monday for 4 nights."

    The lodge was perfect for what we wanted, nice and clean throughout and even a little welcome basket on the table and stocked with all the essentials for a brew once we'd unpacked. The hot tub was up to temperature already which was great as we couldn't wait to get in. Lovely peaceful site as well and well signposted on the way in. The bed mattresses not the comfiest in the world but we both slept very well on them and a few of the blackout blinds had broken pull down strings but didn't affect the use of them. Overall a hugely enjoyable break away and would definitely return in the future

    Kids loved the hot tub and the view is great would definitely recommend this to friends and family. We usually go to west wales so this was a first for us in mid wales and we will be returning. The only problem was that the week went to quickly.

    We only contacted the owners a couple of times but were always available to help. The location is idilic and so peaceful, was a great base to go exploring. The accommodation itself is very well equipped and had everything we needed. The hot tub is a fabulous bonus and we will definately recommend.

Idyllically positioned between the Elan and Claerwen Valleys and the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Hares rest makes for the perfect base from which to explore this spectacular area.

Step inside the contemporary open-plan living space, with natural light flooding in from the towering floor-to-ceiling windows, and enjoy a moment of peace following a lengthy journey by putting your feet up and unwinding with a snug seat on the sofa in front of the TV.

Discover the well-equipped kitchen decorating the wall of the sociable space, where you can showcase your culinary skills with the help of the gas oven and hob before serving the fruits of your labor at the nearby dining table.

The private decked area adjoining your home-from-home provides a wonderful place for dining alfresco, whether it's starting your day with a hearty breakfast and a piping hot cup of coffee, or recounting the day's adventures over an evening meal.

If you're looking for a truly memorable experience, take a luxurious dip in the bubbling hot tub, surrounded by the pristine countryside of your holiday home.

As the evening grows darker, head back indoors and prepare for bed with an invigorating rinse in the spacious walk-in shower cubicle, before climbing the quirky ladder to reach the double bedroom nestled on the mezzanine floor; for additional sleeping arrangements, make use of the two pull-out beds conveniently positioned in the open-plan living space.
