The place
This sleek, Scandi-style dog-friendly cabin is a stone’s throw from the River Wye and just 6 miles north of Ross-on-Wye. Hare is the spot you’ve been looking for to take your dog away. Whether you’re coming with your better half (the dog), or with the 'other human' in tow, it’s perfect to unwind and let off a little steam. With views of rolling hillside and forest from the giant picture window, it’s impossible not to feel your shoulders drop here, and even easier when you pick one of the many activities, like facials and Ayurvedic massages or wildflower walks and paddleboarding lessons. Or if you’re feeling lazy, head to the little stretch of private beach! This part of the world is surrounded by uninterrupted countryside, with plenty to do and explore with your dog, so go on adventures, or take it as easy as you need, just ambling in your field and taking long soaks in the outdoor bath!
