Just had the most lovely tasting menu dinner here. Food was delicious and Liz is the consummate hostess. Paul was clearly working very hard in the kitchen producing spectacular food. We are staying in one of the beautifully decorated garden rooms - it is all absolutely delightful. Highly recommend staying and dining here.

This was a really memorable experience, in a good way. Parking was easy just in front of the inn. It was built by the monks of Rievaulx abbey in the 12c to store their beer. It does look French. Elizabeth is a very attentive host and obviously proud of what they have created here. The tasting menu started at 7pm and was a lovely discovery of taste over several hours crafted by the Chef Paul. Every course was delicious and served at a nice pace. We did really like it and the restaurant is comfortable and not stuffy. We had wine at £30 per bottle and it was good. Our room was nice with a very comfortable bed. One tiny niggle, the bath lotion was on the wall at the end of the roll top bath so couldn't be reached. Breakfast was superb. We had a lovely walk near Rievaulx Abbey and a pint at the Star at Harome, all in the sunshine. Takes some beating.

Another Fantastic visit for my birthday . Liz gave us a lovely welcome on our return. We stayed in Leveret room which has a small patio area enabling you to sit outside. Wonderful Tasting menu with wine pairing and excellent explanations given with each course. Our favorite was the long horned steak tartare and jokingly said we would have it for breakfast! Thank you Liz and Paul We will be back

We had a wonderful time at the Hare, enjoying a fabulous meal, an overnight stay in the very comfortable Waters room and a very good breakfast. We were given a warm welcome and were thoroughly impressed by the attention to detail throughout our stay. All the courses of the tasting menu were delicious, enhanced for us by the well chosen wine pairing. Paul works his magic in the kitchen and Liz is an excellent front of house host. Her explanations about the food and choice of wines added to our enjoyment. We agree with the previous 5* reviews and have no hesitation in recommending the Hare. Liz and Paul have created something unique and very special indeed.

Just about perfect, really. Maximum of 12 covers in restaurant, four rooms to stay if you wish. A fixed tasting menu, with extensive wine list or wine pairing option. The room we had was lovely, and so was breakfast.

Liz is an amazing host. The food was divine and I loved the atmosphere, being small and intimate. The room was perfect with the most comfortable bed ever. As expected, breakfast was great too.

Six of us visited The Hare for a family celebration and from the start to the finish our experience could not have been any better. The 9 course tasting menu (plus a starter 'snack') was extremely imaginative, perfectly cooked and presented with great confidence. The decor modern and the charming staff were attentive but never invasive. We all agreed that The Hare is exceptional and quite superb.

Our evening and night at the Hare was absolutely wonderful. We stayed in Leveret and Waters rooms, which were beautifully renovated with large bathrooms and very comfortable beds. The rooms are a short walk from the restaurant, which is small but beautifully appointed with plenty of room at each table. Amber and Liz were delightful hosts, leaving Paul in the kitchen to work his magic. The tasting menu (8 courses) was fabulous. Starting with snacks through various fish and meat taste sensations and finishing with three sweet courses- all awesome! We decided against the wine pairing but enjoyed four excellent wines, which complemented the food perfectly. Congratulations to Paul and Liz for creating an unbelievable experience. A Michelin star cannot be far away!!

OMG. This truly is my best dining experience ever. I like to think I?ve experienced quite a few excellent restaurants around the world but this was something else. It?s a beautiful and intimate venue, only a few tables, and its perfect for a romantic dinner. The tasting menu has been well thought through and the smaller plates mount up to make you very satisfied. The wine pairings were good too. The real differentiator is the lovely service. Both Liz and Paul the owners make the effort to mix with diners. Paul is the chef. Liz brings food out and has a lovely background which she is happy to share, and she has a great personality. Nothing is too much for them and they even moved us to a table by a fire for coffee at the end of the meal. I was apprehensive about whether it would be a good birthday spot for the other half and we turned up in a remote location in the dark. What a could decision.

We celebrated my birthday at the Hare and it did not disappoint. The whole experience was perfect from beginning to end. The winding country roads, beautiful old inn, warm welcome, personalised birthday card ??, brilliant service and AMAZING culinary experience. Could not fault a thing and can?t wait to come back. So tempted to stay over in one of their beautiful rooms but not sure I can justify this when we only love a short drive away. Thank you for making my birthday extra lovely
