The Hideaway is a lovely little place, really tranquil and makes for a great break from the city. Easy enough to find and the hosts were really helpful and responsive. They also added some lovely little touches with mince pies, prosecco, cereal, milk, tea and coffee all left there for our use. I would definitely stay here again!
The perfect place to escape the real world and feel like you’re a million miles away. Deers to watch and sunsets to snuggle up to. And all only 20 minutes from Bath and Bristol!
Joe and Sarah have a brilliant little spot here, the outdoor shower and access to the field amongst the meadow is perfect on a sunny day. The bed is very comfy too!
The location was clean and well stocked. The check in process was easy and the hosts friendly and considerate.
Only improvement we would suggest would be a curtain across the main entrance for added privacy
Just had a great stay at the getaway. It’s a very cozy place and is well taken care of. Location between the trees and wooden interior gave us the camper van feel with way more space. Proximity of Bath and Bristol makes it the perfect place to explore both. Owners polite and helpful. Very much recommended if you truly want to wind down!
Easily found with the instructions Joe gave us on the day. The setup is really well thought through, very private and green and lush. Bed is comfortable and the space was fine for the two of us. Really appreciated the small welcome gifts. The outside shower heats up really quickly and is a great experience. We enjoyed regular visits from a cat and were able to see the deer in the field from the garden downstairs. Would definitely return -- thanks Joe!
Leuk schoon huisje, van alle gemakken voorzien. Fijn douche buiten en binnen. Fijn dat we een bbq tot onze beschikking hadden om te koken. Mooi uitzicht!
