The Hideaway

We’ve just enjoyed a lovely 10 day holiday at The Hideaway.

The property is comfortable, well presented and spotlessly clean. This is down to the amazing owner, Vicky, who looks after the property so well. She gave us a lovely welcome with a delicious lemon drizzle cake, which was greatly appreciated. The property was in a quiet, peaceful location, but within easy reach of beaches and stunning towns like Salcombe and Dartmouth. It was a luxury to have two TVs, one in the lounge and one in the main bedroom, so our two teenage children could enjoy their own space if they wanted to watch something different - and we could wind down of an evening, by watching TV in bed! Thank you for a lovely holiday. Helen & Ade

A truly peaceful spot to spend a few days in a beautiful part of Devon.

A lovely property, spotlessly clean and with all the facilities needed for a relaxing stay. The owner, Vicky, was friendly and helpful and arrived with the legendary lemon drizzle cake, absolutely gorgeous and other treats too.

The Hideaway was a lovely place to stay.

It was clean, comfortable, well equipped and peaceful. It was also in a good location for visits to Totnes, Bigbury, Dartmoor and Plymouth. Vicky’s lemon cake was gorgeous and the welcome pack was thoughtful, especially after a long drive down. We hope to stay there again ( two weeks next time.) There is so much to see and do in the area.

The hideaway was everything we were expecting and more just perfect, unfortunately we were taking ill on the first day so could not make full use of it , but the landlady was so kind and helpful she went far and beyond thank you Vicky, anyone else who finds this little gem will not be disappointed, thank you all who helped my wife and I ,Bill Andrews

A great stay.

Welcome pack and cake was very lovely, thank you. Beds were comfortable too.

If you are looking for a place to stay while visiting this beautiful area of Devon then look no further than.

The Hideaway is a gem of a find. Beautifully designed, from fixtures to fittings. There’s everything you need to make your visit a pleasure and very comfortable. Clean with lovely beds and bedding. Vicky, our host was welcoming, (with lovely lemon drizzle cake), offered lots of advice about local places of interest which we were grateful for. The location is quite private except for the small herd of cows in the neighbouring field that dropped by daily to say ‘hello’. Charming. We could live with that. Would recommend. Many thanks to our lovely hosts, a pleasure meeting them. say hello daily.. charming

This was our second stay at The Hideaway which is down a very quiet lane on a farm with cattle right outside.

Top quality, beautiful accommodation, really comfortable beds and such a warm welcome again from Vicky.

The Hideaway is in a lovely, peaceful location.

It is very comfortable, well equipped and attractively furnished. Vicky, the owner, is very friendly and welcoming and we enjoyed our short stay.

Perfect!

We cannot fault The Hideaway. It was spotlessly clean, very comfortable and Vicky was a great host, very welcoming. It’s a great location, close to beaches but quiet. We loved it here and would definitely stay again.

The Hideaway is a very comfortable and clean cottage which is an extension of the owners property, but with its own parking and entrance.

Vicky the owner popped in to see that everything was ok and brought some of her legendary cake for us which was amazing. Nothing seems too much trouble for her. The only disappointment was that they no longer have the cows that are mentioned in Sykes. Overall, very very good value for money.

Fantastic property, well equipped, comfy, extremely clean.

It had everything we needed for our stay. We enjoyed sitting in the lovely garden, admiring the views across the countryside .Great location, close to beautiful beaches and places to visit. The owner was so friendly and welcoming, as previous guests have mentioned, we appreciated the lemon drizzle cake and treats! She was so attentive. We didn't want to leave and we are hoping to return in the future. We would definitely recommend The Hideaway.

Lovely getaway in the the heart of the south Devon countryside.

Great for coastal walks nearby including burgh island , well worth a visit. Nice comfortable well equipped cottage all on one level . Lovely shower and well equipped kitchen. Vicky and her lemon drizzle were brilliant a very lovely host. If it’s clear it’s a great dark sky area. Lots of local wildlife , owls squirrels and raptors. Very enjoyable visit.

We loved The Hideaway, from the top quality accommodation with everything we could wish for, to the lovely welcome by Vicky bearing lemon drizzle cake.

We also loved being on a working farm with cattle literally the other side of the fence, wonderful to wake up to. This was the best accommodation we've had in an area we've been visiting for nearly 30 years. Yes, the lanes are very narrow and can be a challenge but that's something you have to expect in such a rural part of the country. See you next year!

The Hideaway was a fantastic base for our Devon holiday.

It was clean, spacious for 4 people (2 adults & 2 children) & well appointed with everything we could need on our week away. Vicky was a super host offering recommendations of beaches to visit, activities to keep both kids & adults happy & places to eat. The welcome package was perfect after a long drive & the home made lemon cake was delicious!! A word of warning if you aren't confident driver, access to the Hideaway is down some very narrow lanes & reversing to passing places happened often but that's the Devonshire roads for you & it wouldn't put me off booking to stay here again in the future. Highly recommended!!

A lovely peaceful cottage, nestled in the countryside.

Beautifully clean and well equipped. The owner, Vicky, left a really nice welcome hamper and home made cake. We'd recommend it highly as a perfect holiday cottage with plenty of things to do in the area.

A beautiful, well-appointed cottage, spotlessly clean and what was really special was the warm welcome from Vicky (and her lemon drizzle cake!

) A wonderful, relaxing holiday with superb evening meals from the California Cross Inn.

one of the very best holiday properties we have stayed in.

Everything was top class and the owner was very helpful and nice. In addition--the area is lovely.

We had a lovely stay at The Hideaway.

Clean, well-equipped and beautifully presented, and with glorious views of the Devon countryside. There is nothing more we could possibly have asked for. Thank you Vicky for your fantastic hospitality. Your place is an absolute credit to you! Tracey and Gary Cumbria

We spent a lovely few days at The Hideaway, the only thing against us was the weather.

We couldn't have wished for more from our host Vicky, and the recommendations were excellent. A very well presented and furnished cottage, we will definitely return in the future.

Beautiful and peaceful location close to some lovely coastal towns.

The cottage is a real home from home with a stunning view of the countryside from the bedroom window. The cottage is well equipped with everything needed for a restful stay and the owner is extremely helpful and friendly.

This was a delightful little cottage situated on a far and attached to the farmhouse.

It was very quiet, peaceful and private. The cottage was in superb condition and our hosts were friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.

On arrival we were not disappointed lovely setting and peaceful.

Accommodation is bright fresh and with everything we would need for our stay. Vicky and Michael are the prefect hosts with nothing too much trouble, they took time out of their busy days to explain various things around the farm which we appreciated. The beds are very comfortable and the views are great. The property is within easy reach of many beaches, we had a relaxing time and an enjoyable rest. We are yet to open our honey but are looking forward to a taste of Devon.

We wrote in the Guestbook about our stay, but to reiterate it was fabulous.

Everything was lovely, clean and comfortable. Vicky is an excellent hostess and knows how to welcome her guests. We would definitely love to stay there again.

A real gem!

A lot of thought has obviously gone into setting up the very well equipped Hide Away which is stylishly and comfortably furnished. The peace and quiet hit us within minutes of arriving when, with our first cuppa, we sat at the patio table and took in views of the valley beyond listening to birdsong and clucking hens. To our amusement, the cows in the adjoining field came to the fence to check us out. Relaxing sleep was achieved in the extremely comfortable bed. The accommodation is spacious, clean, light and bright. Location is perfect for visiting local beaches, country towns and villages details of which can be found in the Guest folder. Vicky is an excellent, friendly, smiley Host who bakes a delicious Lemon Drizzle cake. Thank you. We will definitely be back but Sykes - Why only 4 ticks?

Our accommodation was excellent.

It was a lovely place to stay, very comfortable and clean. We had everything we needed and more. The bed was very comfortable, shower was great, all the furnishings and equipment were of a very good standard. Location of the house was perfect for beaches and local towns.

Recently converted, spotlessly clean and very comfortable.

The master bedroom extends through to the Ground Floor of the main house so light sleepers may hear movement above. Good views. Our nice small garden was lovely to sit in for breakfast in the sunshine whilst watching the cows in the field, and in our case, a bottle-fed calf. The master bedroom looks out over the owner's garden and the valley beyond. Devon lanes are narrow but, in late May, quiet, so not much reversing required. Vicky is an excellent host.

Super host.

Super cottage. Warm and comfortable. Everything we needed was supplied including lots of local information. Views across the valley added to the enjoyment of our stay. Would definitely recommend this cottage.

We really enjoyed our stay at the hideaway,the accommodation was really clean and comfortable.

I dropped my partner off at bigbury golf course while me and the kids visited the beach in bigbury and took a ride on the sea tractor to burgh island where we had lunch,kids loved it. We visited so many beautiful beaches,I really recommend Bantham and Thurlestone with its golden sand, we will definitely be coming back!
