The perfect ‘Hideaway!’
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!

Lovely place to stay
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!

The Hideaway
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

Lovely place to wind down.
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!
