About this property

'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.

Wonderful stay in perfect setting

We had a wonderful 5 night stay in this luxurious and tranquil lodge. It was set at the end of a private road and was very quiet and relaxing. There was a wonderful view from the panoramic doors leading out to a private patio. The lodge contained all mod cons and had a very comfortable king sized bed. Sara and John were fantastic hosts and always willing to help whenever needed. We can’t praise them enough. We only wished that we had stayed longer, and intend to make every effort to return in the future. Keith and Glenda, Australia.

About the host

Hosted by Sara Hunter

I love meeting people which is why I decided to join Homeway as a host in September 2015. I also know how important it is have privacy when you are travelling - my husband John and I travel widely and we love it when we can find somewhere which offers the perfect balance of leaving us alone to get on with our holiday, but being on hand to offer local knowledge and advice - ideally over a cold beer! I hope we can achieve this with our guests.
We have sheep and chickens and have a friendly working cocker spaniel called Flo. Our guests are welcome to roam free in the garden and on our island over the river. John and I look forward to meeting you and sharing a special part of Wiltshire with you.

Why they chose this property

Hare House is a beautifully furnished, contemporary lodge which is well-equipped for everything you might need for your stay. It is very light with views of open countryside, and the River Nadder runs along the south side of the lodge. Spacious, warm and with everything you need for your holiday within walking distance in Wilton. This includes two excellent pub / restaurants, coffee shops, baker and supermarkets.

What makes this property unique

Peaceful and quiet with uninterrupted views of countryside yet within walking distance of good pubs, baker, and supermarkets. Private riverside garden, wild swimming in our own river pool and a canoe for quiet paddles up the river Nadder.
