The Experience

Come for lovely walks, the river Dee, a fascinating bridge packed with history and this sweet little cottage at the back of the pub to return to. The sitting room is small but charming with a double sofa, two armchairs, a wood-burning stove, TV and books – perfect for rainy days, or you can go and sit in the pub if you prefer. The kitchen has all you need to cook for yourselves or you can wander across the car park for brunch on weekends or a daily changing menu of lunches and suppers made with local produce.

Two bedrooms are up a steep staircase (not set up for those with wobbles or toddlers) and each have their own modern bathrooms – this is perfect for two couples wanting to explore the area or set off on beautiful walks – you’ll find maps in the cottage.

Use the pub outdoor tables and chairs on sunny days, treat yourselves to a pint of something local after a hearty day out while you leaf through the menu or saunter back to your own kitchen.

Reviews

The atmosphere at The Hare was welcoming and comfortable. The staff team obviously take pride in providing a high quality service while remaining at the heart of the local community. The cottage has been thoughtfully renovated and would be very comfortable to stay in. You could have a really relaxed meal and enjoy the hand pumped beer or specially selected wine and be home in seconds.

Location

The neighbourhood

Farndon is very pretty and quaint and has some interesting local shops and cafés. The river with its ancient bridge is about 150 yards away and St Chad's church with Saxon beginnings, in the village. Holt is half a mile. The sandstone paths are close by with Chester about 15 minutes by car - you can walk along the ancient city walls. There are lots of good places to eat in the village and beyond.

Local points of interest from Jerry Brunning

  • Farndon is a quaint, country Cheshire village. Explore the quirky local shops, cross the Historic Holt bridge over the river Dee, visit the 17th century church or sit in the local pub (we know a good one) and watch the world go by at village speed.
  • The sandstone trail is our most notable walking route, but there are plenty of beautiful areas to explore nearby. Not least of which we have a set of circular walks leading from the pub itself! Pub to pub, it doesn't get better than that.
  • Chester city is a wonderous blend of Roman history and an urban shopping experience so the choice is yours. You could tour the ancient city walls in a pair of to-die-for heels!
  • Bolesworth castle is the site of some of the most prestigious events in the North West. 'Car fest' is an annual feature and the international horse show is a world renowned event!
  • Chester zoo is world recognised for i's conservation efforts, and if you're new to the area it's one not to be missed!
  • Thomas Telford's incredible aqueduct is a 200 year old engineering marvel. It's a premier tourist hotspot for North Wales for good reason. The crossing itself is stunning but the view from atop a horse drawn canal barge is hard to beat.
