“Brilliant stay at Three Hares Cottage.”

Made to feel very welcome by Jackie and Ian (owners) arriving to an amazing hamper. Cottage was very comfortable and relaxing. We (two adults and two children (9 yrs and 6 yrs)) all had an amazing time and would highly recommend.

“It is a beautiful cottage in a quiet countryside setting.”

The owners were very welcoming and helpful. It is a great place to stay and a good location to explore the surrounding area.

Mr Hind April 2021

“We loved the location and the setting of the cottage within a very quiet farm - idyllic.”

The hosts were perfect, living close by if we needed anything - but left us to our own devices. The cottage also had absolutely everything provided, all cooking and kitchen equipment, DVDs, milk, local farm eggs, butter, firewood and even clotted cream to go on home made scones - amazing and quite unexpected. We shall certainly be booking here again.

“From the moment we arrived, we were absolutely astounded by the reception from our hosts.”

The property is absolutely beautiful, and totally exceeded our expectations, from the welcome (with delicious local fare), to the warmth and comfort of a stunning cottage. Nicky and I felt completely at home, and the surrounding countryside is absolutely stunning, and you are never far from anything, but far enough away to feel like an idyllic escape away from everything. The walks are outstanding, and even the rain in December was not enough to deter our enjoyment. Log burners, warm rooms, the AGA style oven heating silently was just beautiful. We will definitely be back. Thank you to our wonderful hosts Jackie and Ian.

“Three Hares Cottage, WOW if you would like a cosy, comfortable bolt hole away from the crazy World, look no further.”

We a have stayed in many holiday lets over the past 30 years and we have never stayed in a cottage that was as good as this. Jacky and Ian greeted us on our arrival and made us feel so very welcome and did everything they could to ensure that we could rest and enjoy our holiday in their lovely cottage. Even got the kettle ready for our first cup of tea! They showed us around and ensured we could use/find everything that we may need. The cottage was spotlessly clean, which is no mean feat with a cottage of such character. The beds are both king sized and have very comfortable mattresses and lovely fresh top quality white linen on them. We all slept really well - such a peaceful location. Such an lovely welcome, fire already lit and a carefully chosen and very generous selection of edible treats (some of which are home made and all were delicious). Ian and Jacky live in the adjoining farm house achieve the almost impossible balance, of being readily and easily available without intruding in any way. They are fantastic hosts. I'm scratching my head to think of any negatives for Three Hares Cottages: I'll just mention that there are x3 internal steps into the upstairs bedroom and the main stairs (split by a small landing) have steps that are shallow in depth (there is a rail and walls for support if needed), if your mobility is restricted on steps this may cause you an issue. This is a beautiful character filled cottage that has been carefully restored to a very high level. The fixtures and fittings have been chosen with care, a lovely mix of old and new. We just loved curling up together on the comfortable sofas in front of the woodburner after exploring the 'great outdoors' - you have a choice of woodburners to use! Location is 10 mins off the A30 and situated just on the edge of Dartmoor. A great location for heading onto the moor or further afield. Thank you so much Jacky and Ian - we've arrived back home feel rested, revived and refreshed - ready to dive back into our busy lives. We'll be back!

“We really enjoyed our stay at Three Hares Cottage last year.”

We wanted somewhere quiet and cozy and we were very satisfied with the property. The welcome was warm and generous; we were made to feel immediately relaxed. Inside was full of character and fully equipped with everything you could possibly need. Our particular highlight was enjoying eating breakfast by the fire. Thank you and we hope to come back in the future.

“A great base to explore Devon and Cornwall.”

Beautiful cottage. Spacious and comfortable with everything you will ever need on holiday. Excellent welcome hamper with local produce was very much appreciated. Our hosts Ian and Jackie made us feel very welcome and provided us with a wealth of local knowledge. All in all a lovely holiday for me and my partner.

“Jackie and Ian were amazing hosts.”

Lovely people who are very knowledgeable on the whole of Dartmoor and it’s amazing countryside. It was a real pleasure to stay in their cottage. Fully recommend it. Matt, Christine, Edith and Eric!

“Beautiful property, perfectly equipped, delightful garden with nesting house martins, peaceful location in the heart of the countryside, Ian and Jackie are the perfect hosts, keen to ensure we had a wonderful stay, we are looking forward to returning in the winter to enjoy the log burners!”

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, thanks for having us!

Mrs Odd December 2019

“Jackie and Ian made us so welcome.”

It was a really good chill out break. The welcome pack was far above our expectation. Although the weather was very wet and windy we really enjoyed ourselves. Will definitely go back.

Miss Eden December 2019

“This is a beautifully decorated period cottage with modern facilities inc a powerful shower, plenty of hot water, central heating and comfy king size beds.”

The owners live in the converted barn next door and are very approachable and helpful. We were struck by how clean the place was on arrival, and very pleased to have been left a delicious home baked loaf. We thoroughly recommend this cottage to other couples. One word of advice is if you need a taxi around the Chagford area, book well in advance (day before) as we wouldn't advise walking the journey back to the cottage after dark. We went on some lovely walks from the cottage during the day, there are very few cars on the surrounding roads and the drivers we encountered were all careful.

Mrs Smith December 2019

“What a lovely cottage to stay in with lots of homely touches.”

Ian and Jackie made us feel very welcome and were most helpful. A very generous welcome pack was much appreciated. The area has always been a favourite of ours but more so now having experienced our holiday at Three Hares Cottage. Thankyou both for making it a super week! Looking forward to returning in 2020.

Mrs Gebler September 2019

“Welcome pack of goodies was a lovely surprise.”

the owners were very wildlife friendly so it was great to be able to use our bat detector and wildlife camera to see what was in the area. walking on Dartmoor was wonderful

Mrs Tomblin September 2019

“The fact that some people might not like driving down the long and narrow lane which leads to the cottage.”

We had to drive very slowly to avoid a collision with traffic coming from the opposite direction.

- Mrs Tomblin, September 2019
Mrs Johnson August 2019

“We were warmly greeted on arrival by the owners, who showed us around the cottage.”

There was a welcome basket, which included some homemade scones, cream and jam, bread, local produce and tomatoes from the garden, which was a lovely touch and very much appreciated! The cottage was cosy and well equipped - the best equipped holiday let we’ve stayed in, with every piece of kitchen utensil you could possibly need, as well as books about the local area, maps and DVDs, and USB sockets! The cottage was set in beautiful surroundings, with easy access onto Dartmoor National Park, close to Fernwood Reservoir, Chagford and just half an hour from Exeter. We had an enjoyable week, the owners were friendly and happy to give us advice on places to go and would definitely stay again at Three Hares Cottage.

“Unser Aufenthalt in diesem wunderschönen Haus war ein absoluter Traum!”

Angefangen beim freundlichen Empfang mit einem Willkommenskorb, der keine Wünsche übrig ließ (Kaffee, Tee, Wein, Chips, selbstgebackenes Brot und frisches Gebäck, Konfitüre, Milch, Butter, Kekse, ...) bis hin zur perfekten Ausstattung der Wohnung war einfach alles hervorragend. Ich habe selten eine Ferienwohnung erlebt, die so liebevoll und gemütlich dekoriert war und so gut ausgestattet war wie diese. Egal, ob Küchenutensilien, Geschirr, Besteck, Reinigungsmittel, Textilien - alles war mehr als ausreichend vorhanden und in tadellosem Zustand. Die Gastgeber selbst waren sehr aufmerksam und jederzeit ansprechbar. Das Haus hat die ideale Lage, um Devon zu erkunden. Man ist innerhalb von 6-7 Minuten auf größeren Straßen, so dass man sowohl die Nord- als auch Südküste innerhalb von 45 - 60 Minuten erreichen kann. Im Herzen des Dartmoors ist man in 10-15 Minuten. Einkaufsmöglichkeiten sind in etwa 15 Minuten Fahrzeit zu erreichen, Pubs in knapp 10 Minuten. Wir haben uns absolut wohl gefühlt und können die Wohnung uneingeschränkt empfehlen.

“We arrived after a very long drive and received a very warm welcome from Jackie and Ian, Jackie gave us a guided tour of the cottage whilst Ian made us a much needed cup of tea.”

The welcome basket was the most extensive one I've ever seen, so many delicious things to eat and drink. The cottage itself is lovely and very clean, it is exceptionally well equipped, I really couldn't think of anything in the kitchen that it didn't have, so unusual in most cottages we have stayed in before. The bed and pillows were very comfortable and we slept really well, it is so quiet. The garden is very well kept and although it is in front of the owners house it always felt very private, we sat out there everyday after our days out and it was a lovely little sun trap. The cottage is situated on a very quiet road, just into the edge of Dartmoor, a really good place to stay to explore all over Devon, so many National Trust places to visit, so many things to do. We would highly recommend this cottage it is fabulous.

“This cottage is exceptional.”

It has been renovated to a high specification with all the modern comforts you would need. We arrived and were greeted by Jackie who was lovely and friendly. She provided us with a helpful tour of the property and answered any questions we had. When we entered the kitchen we were greeted by a lovely hamper of home made sour dough bread and apple juice, a variety of teas, coffee, cookies, eggs, crisps, bread buns (similar to scones but we can't remember the name!), and in the fridge was locally made butter, fresh milk, clotted cream and jam. And let's not forget the free bottle of prosecco too! Basically, a free feast! We felt right at home and, although the owners live next door, we never felt that we lacked privacy and our own space. It was good to know they were there if there were any questions or problems (which there weren't). The outdoor space was available to us throughout our stay and we took full advantage. As a younger couple (early 30s), this was a really lovely romantic trip away for us. There were lots of things to do, a pub a short walk away, and the peace and quiet was perfect for a detox from the hustle and bustle of normal life. We would highly recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a romantic break or even a group getaway, as there's two lovely sized bedrooms. Thank you, we had a brilliant few days :o) Chloe and Dan Arden
