Stayed here the night after our wedding and it was absolutely stunning. Jumping into the hot tub after our long day was just bliss. Honestly, the nicest accommodation we have every stayed in, in the UK. Caroline, as always just the best host. Can't shout about this place enough.

It was a really wonderful experience, the hideaway is beautifully decorated with every convenience you could need and the spa bathroom and jacuzzi were brilliant. We also had a couples massage and it was a great... More

We spent a week in the Honeymooners' following our wedding on 02/02, and it was just exactly absolutely what we needed after the stresses and horrors of wedding planning followed by the emotional marathon of a wedding day. We arrived quite late (following a battle with the sat nav and my new husband's skills in programming it!) and had difficulty... More

Booked a weekend for my wife's birthday after a lucky find on the internet. What a fantastic find, a quite simply stunning trip. We were in the Lovers Hideaway and everything about it oozed class from the second we stepped in the door. It was warm and inviting with some nice music playing. We were treated to some fresh bread... More

Absolutely what we needed after months of wedding planning. The honeymooners hideaway was relaxing from the first moment we stepped foot in it...classical music playing, dinner table set, stunning view and of course the hot tub bubbling already!

We are just back from a weekend at the Hideaway and it was amazing. No detail has been overlooked from the bottle of fizz chilled in the fridge and the freshly baked bread awaiting us.
