Luxury riverside lodge in idyllic setting

'Hare House' is a beautifully decorated 'home from home' set in glorious Wiltshire countryside, yet within walking distance of shops, cafes and pubs in the ancient town of Wilton. It is perfect for couples seeking total relaxation in a luxury retreat. It is also great for home-working, with excellent wifi. This is a great base for exploring Stonehenge, Avebury, Salisbury, New Forest and Bath. Bournemouth is a short drive and some beautiful Dorset beaches are in easy driving distance. Wilton has a good range of shops including a bakery and supermarket, together with pubs and cafes for meals. It is home to the Earl of Pembroke who lives in Wilton House, which has been used as the setting for many films, including The Crown, and which is usually open to the public.

Hare House is a self-contained Lodge, adjacent to our home. It has a well equipped separate kitchen; luxury bathroom with bath and shower; and a super-kingside Hypnos bed with Egyptian cotton sheets.. The sitting area has a lovely Swedish log burner which provides warmth in the cooler days and evenings. The Lodge is very well insulated and always feels very warm and cosy.

Enjoy sitting by the lake, filled with water lilies or sit on our private island and cook on the fire-pit in the moonlight....

We appreciate how important a comfortable bed and offer a choice of pillows, Egyptian cotton sheets, together with fluffy towels and essential toiletries.

Your Welcome Pack will have everything you need to get you started for breakfast, and will include milk, local artisan bread, butter, muesli and granola and a variety of teas and coffee. You have a Nespresso machine if you wish to bring your favourite capsules. Cooking essentials such as oil, vinegars, seasoning are provided.

The River Nadder flows through our garden and provides the perfect spot to watch for the kingfishers, water vole, heron and fish that live on the river. You are welcome to wander on our island to meet the sheep and chickens that roam freely. You also have a very private area of the garden with your own riverside deck to watch the sun set. Or enjoy a swim in the plunge pool we have created in the River Nadder!

We are surrounded by beautiful countryside and there are many wonderful walks through the Chalke Valley and beyond. We have many walking guides of the immediate area and the New Forest and can offer advice on walking routes.

A beautiful place to stay. Quality furnishings lots of light set on a beautiful garden bordering a river. Wonderful hosts. Only problem was that VRBO had not taken our second payment and since we had already been travelling for almost a month we had assumed that the payment would be automatically taken as it always has been in North America where we live. Not good management on the part of VRBO. We had not received an email about this either. The owners could have denied us but they didn’t and it was left up to us to scrabble about with no local phone to get the payment done.

Lovely stay at Hare House
We so enjoyed our stay at Hare House. The garden, house and location is quaint, peaceful and ideal. The garden and river is the perfect setting for a quiet weekend. The house is setup with every convenience and luxury. The town offers a lovely bakery, fun pubs and restaurants and a close grocery for anything you left behind. We would visit again at any time we are in the area.

Great place.
The host was very kind and helpful. Sara and John made the experience wonderful. We were able to rest and reset in this little patch of heaven. The views of nature and the small village were splendid. Although everything was in walking distance, it was as if we were tucked away from the village and felt a sense of peace and tranquility here. Words cannot clearly express the gratitude.

Exceptional place and hosts
What an absolutely stunning place to stay. Whilst it's a lovely small place it has everything to make a great stay for a couple. From comfy sofas to a lovely dining space and a well equipped kitchen, there was nothing needed that was not provided. And a nice loaf of bread, milk, butter and some cake all ready on arrival. What makes it extra special is the location and the lovely hosts Sara and John. With outdoor seating looking over their beautiful garden ( complete with river, sheep, swans and the gorgeous dog Flo) it's idyllic, and Sara and John make you feel so welcome. This place is an absolute treet.

This place is magical!
A bit of heaven on earth! Surrounded by the beauty of nature...swans nesting by the gentle river flowing behind beds of flowers. Sheep and cattle grazing peacefully outside your windows to the chorus of birds. A sweet little dog that will visit if you leave a door open. A beautiful old churchyard right next door, and a spacious, cozy, sparkling clean cottage with all the comforts of home. Best of all, friendly and gracious hosts who welcome you and make you feel like family. We hated to leave this magical place!

Fabulous stay at Hare House. The hosts, Sara & John, are really friendly & have a wealth of knowledge of the local area, & are not intrusive but are there should you need anything. The facilities are great & there is absolutely everything you need. The garden is beautiful & tranquil & we have spent time walking along the banks of the River Nadder, which is a lovely bonus right on your door step. We have had a lovely restful long weekend in a little bit of paradise in Wilton, & we are looking forward to returning soon.

A most perfect place to stay.
My husband and I had a week at Hare House and it is possibly the most perfect place to stay. The peace and quiet of the garden with the river at the bottom is sublime, although we were not lucky enough to see otters or kingfishers we did see herons and a couple of fish. A very short walk away is the busy village which has a great bakery. There are lots of places to visit from here or you could spend time chilling and relaxing.The place is well equipped and the bed very comfy too. Sara and John were very friendly but not invasive , perfect.

Fantastic haven
A fabulous home with everything you could need. We arrived after a horrendous journey from the north, within minutes Sara and John, without question, went the extra mile and provided a very welcome drink. Hare House was spotlessly clean throughout with lovely furnishings and decor of good quality. The bed was huge and super comfy, the kitchen excellently equipped and many tourist guides for the area were available. There was also a vast collection of overseas guides which made interesting reading. We also like the big choice of dvds. The location of the home is good, in very easy walking distance of local shops and restaurants, a small river runs at the bottom of the garden and kayaks are available to use. A small island also belongs to the owners and we had a lovely walk around this, meeting the sheep!! The garden is beautiful and we often had our breakfast sitting on the patio watching the wildlife. Sara and John are lovely, friendly and helpful without being intrusive. Their little dog Flo is adorable. All in all the home is exceptional, we had a fabulous stay, thank you Sara and John.
