The property had everything that was needed for a short stay and it was exceptionally clean. Guy was an excellent host, available but not intrusive.

It is located in a very quiet spot but within a few minutes walk of the village shop and two pubs. The furnishings and facilities are excellent and I found it a practical and comfortable place for a relaxing stay. The owners (the Hideaway is tucked away behind their home) were very friendly and welcoming but never intrusive. Right now, they are intending to sell and relocate but I hope that new owners keep this property going to the same high standard.
