We had a wonderful break in the Hideaway. It may have rained a lot, but we were cosy and dry. Very comfortable, well equipped and located holiday home. Properly enclosed garden for our dog which is always a bonus. It's a mile and a half up a very narrow country lane, but we only met one other vehicle the whole week. So much to do in the local area Read moreand lots of pubs to visit! Plus castles, an ice cream parlour, vineyards and countryside to die for! Hide

We loved the area and location. It was perfect for the dog. Our party found the property a little austere especially the living area, needs some curtains. The beds are comfy and it was brilliant having a bathroom for each couple. Great recommendations from the owner of places to eat and see, we loved The Hunters Moon for Sunday lunch. The Crown wasRead more fabulous as well. Hide
