Liked A Wonderful Stay at Harebreck Holidays – Truly Unforgettable
From the moment I arrived at Harebreck Holidays, I was welcomed with warmth and genuine kindness by the lovely Cathryn Muncaster, who From the moment I arrived at Harebreck Holidays, I was welcomed with warmth and genuine kindness by the lovely Cathryn Muncaster, who truly goes above and beyond to make every guest feel at home. Her hospitality was second to none — thoughtful, attentive, and always with a smile.
The site itself is a little piece of heaven. Beautifully kept, peaceful, and surrounded by stunning countryside views. Everything was spotless and well-organised, and it was clear that a lot of care and love had gone into creating such a relaxing environment.
Cathryn has created something really special at Thornbank Farm. Whether it was helping with local recommendations or simply checking in to make sure I was comfortable, she made my stay extra special. Her kindness will never be forgotten.
I left feeling refreshed, cared for, and already thinking about when I can return. Thank you, Cathryn, for a magical stay — Harebreck Holidays is a true gem, and so are you.

Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Glad you enjoyed a peaceful stay. Our aim is for guests to leave feeling relaxed, refreshed and reinvigorated. We do have a lot of cats our own and strays. If you do not want them near you bring a dog or hiss at them to make them go away.
Idyllic location, perfect for escaping the busy world.

Liked Beautiful site with stunning views that go on for miles. Great location with plenty to do. The site itself was perfect. Such a quiet site with immaculate toilets and shower.

From the manager: Thank you for your review. We will be pleased to welcome you back. Our cats follow me around so think it's part of their duty to welcome guests too. For anyone who does not like cats around a quick hiss or growl let's them know they are not welcome.
Really great find. Takes 1 night bookings which was great for us.

From the manager: Thank you for your review. Wifi is not great although phones have a good four g signal on Vodafone network. Hopefully fibre is not too long getting to us and the signal will improve and a booster will be used to cover the glampong site.

From the manager: Thank you for your review. A farmyard tour can be arranged on arrival or a landscape walk with nature around the farm. So if you want to know how we care for our animals and work with nature in a sustainable and regenerative way speak to me after settling in.
