“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 ...

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!). Robyn and Tom.

“Property was beautifully set out, great views, lovely linens and thoughtfully fitted out with everything you might need in the kitchen, plus bbq bits for outside.”

Friendly and Attentive but not intrusive hosts. We were really blessed with the weather, and saw amazing wildlife from the comfort of the ‘shack’ Would recommend for a get away from it all break

“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!!
