Lovely quiet location. On arrival Julian & Caroline made us feel very welcome & made sure we had everything we needed. The flat was very clean with a well equipped kitchen. Great bike rides into the forest from the door & the stunning coastline only a short drive away. Would recommend.

We had a lovely, peaceful, stay in this forest-located accommodation. There was everything we needed for a week's stay and I have no doubt the charming hosts would have assisted us if we had needed any more. The accommodation is very comfortable and the sitting area outside has nice views of the forest and fields. All local attractions (RSPB Arne, Lulworth Cove, Corfe Castle etc.) are in easy reach by car. In short, many thanks for a great break! :)

Home from Home in a beautiful peaceful location.

From the initial drive down the single track lanes in beautiful scenery to the arrival at the location in a quiet oasis of tranquility the first impressions were excellent. On arrival we were met by the very friendly owner and shown the flat. Everything you could need was supplied, in a very homely and clean interior. It’s shoes off before going up the stairs to the flat and the only thing I missed was maybe a stool to help with putting your shoes on before going out. The bed linen was very white and clean and the towels were quality. We did some simple cooking and we wanted for nothing. The bed was very comfortable. Bathroom and shower were clean and tidy. We do enjoy Dorset and this would be our first choice for a place to stay next time we visit.

Escape to Peace and Serenity

The property is adequate for any stay and was comfortable. The decor is not lavish and considering the time spent in the property was entirely sufficient. The hosts were most welcoming and congenial. They offered any additional support as required and I am convinced would have delivered. The property is remote but that was such a plus. Welcomed by horses and a cuckoo, then nature in its finest gown, and deer. Grand, elegant beasts. The fauna was breathtaking and the proximity of the well known sights convenient. Would I return? Yes of course.

Remote property in lovely surroundings

Perfect for us. We had a long weekend to explore this part of Dorset. Host very friendly and welcoming. The property is over their double garage so if you need them easy to see but we never saw them once which is nice. Well stocked with kitchen utensils if you want to eat in. We explored all day and come back early evening, bit of a challenge if you don’t like driving in the dark but we identified landmarks that helped so no problem. Kitchen window looks on to fields with horses from their stables and an occasional spotting of deer. Loving if you like walking. Property decor is tired but homely and didn’t bother us at all. Would probably return to see it in the summer.

Peaceful short stay

A lovely, quiet stay at the end of a long drive/track. Flat is as described, light and airy, overlooking woodland and paddocks. The two settees are comfortable after a day on your feet and the bed is big, comfortable and cosy. Hosts were very helpful and were there to greet us and to say goodbye. Food basics are supplied, tea, coffee, sugar and condiments. The only thing that couldn't be arranged was some sunshine!!

Comfy and Quiet

The Hydeaway is in a tranquil location yet ideally situated for the many local attractions and towns, such as Compton Acres Gardens, Athelhampton House, RSPB Arne, Swanage, Weymouth, Corfe Castle etc. Lovely views of the fields and woods from the property which is owned by Julian And Caroline who are very amiable hosts. Highly Recommended.

If you like to get out into the countryside this is as good as it gets. Julian & Caroline are perfect hosts, the property is clean and tidy plus everything you need is there and the surroundings are just as good if not better than the photo's. There are no negatives from us and we would definately like to return again. Thank you both for a great weeks stay.

A perfect retreat

A fantastic place to stay, with so much in the area to see and do. We especially enjoyed visits to Wareham and Worth Matravers, and the chance to see the peregrines at Corfe Castle - and the Tolpuddle Martyrs museum! Our hosts were discretion personified.

Flat with lovely views!

Lovely little flat with great views over the garden and paddock. Spotlessly clean, comfortable bed and everything you could need for your stay. Perfect if you love nature, deer and squirrels in the horse paddock nearly every day we stayed. There is a nice garden to relax in on sunnier days and the hosts were very helpful and welcoming.

Single bedroom, very comfortable double bed, with single bed in living area for a third person if required. Fully fitted kitchen, TV and wifi. Owners very approachable and accomodating.

Visiting family for a few days

We were made to feel very welcome. The property was just 12 mins from where our family were, so an ideal spot for us. Clean and comfortable plus value for money. We would have loved to make more use of the tennis court, but weather was not our best friend. Would definitely book again for another visit.

If you want a quiet peaceful break this is the ideal spot. Set in an area of open paddocks on the edge of the forest,good views. A little off the beaten track but no problem, because it gets you to that quirt spot. The owner Julian could not have been more welcoming or more helpful , a quick explanation and then left us to enjoy our break though always on hand for help and advice on the area with regard to places of interest or recommending local restaurants etc.A good week.
