The Hideaway at Burrow Hill

A lovely small quaint cottage with beautiful views from the private garden.

So much character, with a log burner and an authentic feel. Good information left by the hosts to make sure you enjoy your stay. Well recommended. Just a note that the roads to access the Hideaway are narrow.

We were very happy to return to The Hideaway at Burrow Hill for the second time.

The peace and quiet was just as wonderful as the first time, as was the beautiful view from the garden. Thanks for another great stay.

I’ve stayed at this accommodation three times in the last 9 months and it has been perfect for me every time.

The owners are helpful and able to assist if required but on the whole they just leave you to get on with enjoying your stay. There is adequate parking and the scenery as well as the grounds of the property are beautiful. A very relaxing place to spend time. I will go back there for sure.

The Hideaway is a lovely secluded property which we thoroughly enjoyed staying in.

We were there during the June 2026 heatwave and it stayed remarkably cool inside which was a godsend when you just needed to escape the heat. Nikki & Ben were very friendly and great hosts

I’ve stayed at the Hideaway last year in November and enjoyed it so much that I booked for the summer and it was fantastic.

It’s ideally located in a rural setting and easily accessible although you need to follow the directions given. The owners of the property are brilliant as they provide all the amenities to enable you to just get on with your stay but are close enough by if you need assistance.

We found the cottage lovely and peaceful.

We were able to relax in the garden and enjoy the wonderful views. We even had a “pet” robin who visited for titbits! Being in our 80s we found that having to park in the lay-by up the lane, bringing in the luggage a chore. However I have told friends that in the first three days I heard five vehicles and one horse pass by down the lane!

There's really not much more to say about this charming Grade 2 listed cottage that hasn't already been said!

Walking inside, you immediately feel its cosy and inviting atmosphere, thanks to all its charming quirks. I especially enjoyed relaxing and admiring features, such as the hidden oven behind the fireplace. On a glorious day like today, my partner and I loved ending our evening in the enclosed garden, soaking in the breathtaking views. We brought along our two adorable Bernese Mountain Dogs and discovered some lovely walks and local woodland spots for them to explore. We would definitely love to come back and stay again!

A lovely place to stay in delightful surroundings.

Lovely countryside all round. Plenty of wildlife to observe from the garden. Roads narrow but you get used to them. A good place to access the coast and the countryside. Highly recommend.

Absolutely lovely week long stay.

House was immaculately cleaned and in a lovely location with great trips and things to do nearby with all amenities you need. Would definitely recommended to anyone, would love to come back soon!

My husband and I had a wonderfully peaceful New Year break in 'The Hideaway'!

The cottage is beautiful, so full of character and very cosy. Extra touches of homemade brownies and bottle of bubbly from their own vineyard were very thoughtful. Plus fresh delivery of logs on request for the woodburner was very impressive. Thankyou so much for letting us stay in your cottage.

The Hideaway us beautiful.

Quiet, cosy and very comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped, the decor lovely, the fire a real treat, the bed very comfortable and the all spotlessly clean. The outside provides privacy and a wonderful view. Owners very helpful. Definitely recommend and hope to stay again.

We spent an idyllic Christmas at the hideaway, the cottage was beautifully presented for Christmas, the owners were very pleasant and exceeding helpful with logs and kindling for the log burner,and local information about dog walks and local amenities, the setting was lovely and I walked our mini snauzer Wynne around the vineyard every morning.

I would recommend it 100%

A hidden gem.

The Hideaway is full of character. The owners extremely helpful. We arrived in the dark and in pouring rain. My partner had broken his leg on the eve of our holiday n the owners helped him into the accommodation along with our luggage. Everything was perfect, clean and well presented. Exactly as I would have done and I'm a holiday let cleaner myself and I have very high standards. I highly recommended this property. In fact we will be booking again to stay here.

The Hideaway was a lovely place to stay, and views from the garden were amazing.

If you want peace and quiet this is the place to stay. We walked to many villages from the cottage and the walk along the river Otter is a must.

Many thanks to Nicki and Ben for providing us with this idyllic holiday home although contact with us was minimal,( not necessary a bad thing) the cottage we found was ideal and very comfortable.

Strikingly beautiful and set out.Such a lovely place.Would love to come back again.Once you’ve accepted the narrow roads (a common feature of holiday destinations in Devon) you can enjoy the holiday as we did.Highly recommend this property.

Very clean and quiet, owners were very friendly, would definitely recommend and we look forward to visiting again.

We had lovely stay at The Hideaway, thank you!

We loved our stay at The Hideaway.

The location is beautiful and the sunny weather enabled us to enjoy the lovely garden and the stunning view. The house is very comfortable and so peaceful. We hope to be back!

We loved our stay.

The garden has the most fantastic view and we spent a good while out there enjoying the peace and quiet and the sun! The cottage is remote but that made it all the more appealing. A great base for walking but near enough to Ottery St Mary for provisions, a great bookshop, beautiful church and very friendly people. All in all a great place to stay.

The property and location exceeded my expectations.

Once I managed the best way in via the lanes it was fine. So tranquil, and restful break. Owners were attentive to any requests, thank you Nicki and Ben. I hope to return in the future

Gilbert was very welcoming and helpful.

He cam regularly to see to the hot tub, unfortunately the weather was not kind to us but we still enjoyed our stay, plenty to see locally and in the bigger towns. The Hideaway was lovely and definitely had a ladies touch, there was all we needed.

We had lovely holiday very peaceful and quiet

Lovely cosy cottage, so peaceful, shame the garden wasn’t dog proof as had to keep her on a lead while outside, good base to see Sidmouth and surrounding places, would definitely recommend it to family and friends, Thank you to the owners for the cream tea on arrival.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Hideaway, it was truly delightful.

After one or two negative experiences in the recent past this proved to be a very good choice of cottage holiday. This cosy little 17th century cottage in its own lovely garden with a view of the lake was just lovely. Strongly recommended!!

This is our second stay at this lovely cottage.

The Hideaway is in a tranquil setting with just the sound of birds and glorious views from the garden, but with local amenities a short drive away. The log burner was easy to use with plenty of wood supplied. We lunched at Dukes Seaside Inn in Sidmouth and would recommend. It's dog friendly too. Thanks Nicki and Ben for a lovely stay. The cream tea was delicious. Flynn says thanks for the doggie treats.

A lovely comfy, warm cottage in a rural setting.

Nicki the owner was very helpful and thank you for the cream tea, yummy. We would definitely recommend this cottage.

A few days away in january to hideaway from the winter blues, found us in a warm, cosy welcoming cottage, with every amenity to make a cosy and comfortable stay.

Our little dog enjoyed her cushion in front of the log burner, and walks in stunning scenery A perfect location to get away from real life, and immerse yourself in the peace of the devon countryside, with lots of places to go, a short distance away. A perfect cottage, a perfect stay

Amazing week away at this beautiful cottage for Christmas.

EVERYTHING at the hideaway was perfect, we had such a relaxing week here and enjoyed everyday, The log fire was a plus and we lit it everyday. Nikki was very helpful even on christmas day! The cottage was spotless and the bed was really comfortable. Our little dog was so settled , it was like being home from home. The best christmas we have had, memories forever.

Really amazing little cottage, and the lovely couple who own it really went above and beyond with storm Darragh trying to get in the way!

Turns out it's even more of a gorgeous cottage by fire light and candles! Highly recommend and I'm sure we'll be back!

Fabulous cottage in the heart of the Devon countryside.

We had a super stay here. The cottage was lovely with everything we needed including wonderful views and a very welcome wood burning stove which we enjoyed snuggling in front of, especially our dog! The homemade Devon cream tea was a wonderful surprise on our arrival, thank you very much.

The Hideawah is a lovely cosy cottage set in beautiful countryside.

If you want a peaceful getaway Thr Hideaway is perfect. Loved the quirkiness - small cottage windows, beamed low ceilings and uneven floors. The garden was idyllic with views over the pond to the hills beyond. Even though the cottage is right next to a narrow lane, hardly any cars drove past. Beware of the steep stairs to the bedroom, low ceilings downstairs (it was perfect for me and my husband, I’m 5’2” and he is 5’5”). Beware, the cottage is also surrounded by very narrow lanes with blind bends. Saying that we never encountered a vehicle coming the other way as the cottage is quite remote. Otters Saint Mary was a 5 minute drive away, Sidmouth was 20 minutes away. Would highly recommend The Hideaway and would consider returning in the future.

What a fantastic location for an ‘away from it all’ relaxing break.

Total tranquility save for the birdsong. Lovely grounds with a garden and pond. Fantastic walking right from the doorstep, perfect for dogs. Only minutes away from any facilities too. The very narrow surrounding lanes might not be every driver’s cup of tea but we had no problems. The cottage is ancient but has been wonderfully modernised. The owners Nicki and Ben are very friendly and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our four night stay, wished it could have been longer, fabulous weather was just a bonus!

A quiet sanctuary away from the madding crowds.

Everything you need to live and relax. Sainsbury store 5 minute's away in Ottery St Mary Recommend this house is for fit people only! Stairs are difficult. Walking hilly. Been two years on the trot and have loved this quaint little hobbit house.

We spent a week at the Hideaway at the end June and could not recommend it highly enough.

It is such a gorgeous cottage and surroundings, very peaceful and comfortable with everything you could want. The attention to detail and quality of everything in the cottage and garden was to a exceptional standard and a real home from home feel. Perfectly positioned for days out to Sidmouth, Seaton, Lyme Regis, Charmouth, Exmouth and more. We genuinely loved everything about our stay and will definitely be back.

Love place very peaceful.

Gardens were very nice with lovely views.

Cottage was as advertised and the directions were accurate but very much needed.

A satisfactory parking place and the approach to the front door wild and unkempt but the rear garden was well maintained and tidy. The cottage is old and one should expect the old cobb walls and ceilings to be typically rough and uneven. However all facilities are there and all working and in good order. Every item of equipment is provided. Very good value and you will enjoy the complete silence and lack of traffic on very narrow roads

Beautiful cottage with fabulous grounds and a great view of the countryside.

The wood burning stove was an extra bonus

Very good property, rustic in character, and in a really quiet location, but well placed for East Devon.

We really enjoyed our stay and can recommend if you enjoy a quiet, secluded location. Glyn

We had such a wonderful long weekend stay at the 'Hideaway' with the weather being a bonuse, hottest weekend we've had this year, very lucky.

As in description of the let the garden isn't fully dog proofed, but I suggest maybe take a length of rope with you to allow your dog a little freedom. This said, there are lots of walks. Nikki and Ben have a small vineyard on site and the wine left for us appon arrival was absolutely delicious,

Such a lovely place to stay.

Unspoiled views across the fields to the hills beyond. Great outdoor and indoor space. The cottage is lovely and ideal for a couple to get away from it all. Everything was as described and the owners even helped us out when we had a senior moment with the hob. Apparently you need to take it off lock before you can cook on it

We were delighted with this cottage.

It had thick cob walls and thatched roof. There was a large wood burner for heating, but we did not need to light it, as the house was warm enough. The views were superb, there was a duck pond with waterlilies, a vineyard and we were allowed to walk are dog in the adjoining fields. The kitchen had everything you needed, except a microwave (we use ours a lot at home). The roads are very narrow with high hedge banks either side, but little traffic. This is Devon, so you have to get used to it. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

The BEST holiday cottage we have ever stayed in.

It is a hidden gem

This is a wonderful cottage in a quiet, rural place.

The view from the cottage is magical! It was very clean and very comfortable, we had a very good nights rest after long walks during the day. Communication with the owners was easy. We loved staying there!

The cottage is set in a rural out of the way location,its lovely and quiet.

we saw wild deer in the field outside the garden,and heard owls in the evening.the cottage its self is homely and cosy,it's a credit to the owners.we honestly didn't want to leave.we would happily stay again.

This is a lovely cottage - clean, comfortable and very well appointed.

The cottage is very rural but well positioned for walking, the coast, NT properties, the Exe estuary and Exeter.

Hooks for kitchen towel/ tea towels would be useful.

Conscious that space is tight in kitchen but a small microwave would be brilliant. You should sell the sunset over the pond experience- absolutely stunning- assuming there is a setting sun!!!

We had a lovely stay at The Hideaway.

The place offered tranquility and rustic charm allowing for a restful few days. A great area to explore and some beautiful country walks with our dog. Thank you Nicki & Ben.

Fantastic stay at the Hideaway.

Rural location, as advertised, be prepared to reverse to find a passing place along single track roads. Wonderful cottage, steep stairs which could be a challenge but fine for us. Owners next door responsive to any queries and use of the washing machine was fine. A wonderful stay in this cosy and well equipped cottage.

Lovely farmhouse tucked away in the lanes of East Devon.

Very peaceful and pretty countryside nearby. Perhaps a microwave would be good if you just wanted to quickly heat up food.

Thank you for the use of your lovely remote cottage.

We loved the garden for our dog. Great Views! The woodburner was needed on our first night. It warmed the cottage up a treat. The cottage was so nice we have booked again for next year. Your wine is delicious and the bottle will be returned next year. A great break away, beware of very narrow lanes to the property though. Shops, River Otter, Pubs, and of course the sea all less than 12 minutes away.

A lovely little cottage which was cosy and beautifully decorated.

This is the 2nd time we have stayed at the Hideaway.

The 1st time was in April last year,this time was the middle of July.It is in a beautiful area in the middle of the countryside,yet only a 5 minute drive to the town.We had a very relaxing holiday and will definitely come here to stay again.

Another great fortnight in the Hideaway.

Nicky and Ben are great hosts on hand to provide anything you need.

Very peaceful

Delightful peaceful location, the cottage itself was lovely, plenty of options for outside seating, the garden is not completely secure in terms of allowing a young dog off lead.

We did find the sofa and chair a little low [in our early 60's but both have issues with our back!],kitchen well kitted out but we did miss not having the convenience of a microwave! Bedroom spacious and we did find the bed very comfortable, there is a noticable uneven floor which is more obvious when stepping out of the bathroom, but given the age of the property,this is probably to be expected and was not a major issue once we had become aware of it!

We had a lovely stay at The Hideaway.

Lots of nice long walks for our dog. April is a great time to visit as the hedgerows are full of wild flowers - even orchids. The cottage is charming, with views of the distant hills from the garden. It's a lovely space to enjoy a glass of wine and listen to the birds.

A lovely old property with lots of character in a beautiful part of the country.

I would be very happy to stay there again.

This is a piece of Heaven.

Everything about it is perfect. The place is wonderful, as is the quiet, the nature, the walks close by. Stunning view. Deer in the garden daily, ducks, all kinds of birds, especially the robins that come and sit on your table and eat with you. Sheep on the hill, birds of prey floating around. Superb. You’ll go back again! We did & will.

What a gem of a property.

Clean, comfortable and quiet. Bed was comfy. Lovely big fire but was not used as not cold enough.

Wonderful week at the hidaway cottage.

Comfortable and just perfect for a week of peace and quiet. Nicki and Ben always at hand for any queries. An ideal spot to relax and visit the local area. Would definitely go again .

The Hideaway is a charming, ancient cottage under a thatched roof, with low beams downstairs, and wonky floors upstairs, in keeping with its age and style.

We were there in freezing February, so didn't take much advantage of the garden space, with its lovely views and sunsets, preferring to stay cosy by the wood burning stove inside - plenty of fuel available. Phone signal is patchy, but the TV is Smart and up to the minute, and WiFi is very good. The kitchen is well equipped, the bed is comfortable. Highly recommended.

This really is a super “hideaway “ - very warm, comfortable and full of character, deep in the Devon countryside, with enchanting views.

Excellent property, clean warm, well equipped excellent location would definitely like to stay there again, a real hideaway, charming property

Such a delightful cottage to stay at, beautifully styled and maintained, a joy!

! Arrived to a very lovely welcome gift which was a nice touch. Even though it’s on the end of the owners property it’s very private and secluded. Extremely comfy bed and high quality bedding meant we left very well rested.

Delightful property, well equipped and provided a lovely venue for a Christmas break.

Many thanks to the hosts.

Lovely cob cottage.

We visited in November so weather wasn’t ideal but we loved the log burner which kept us warm and cosy. The welcome pack was a lovely touch. A little remote but it suited what we were after. I’m sure it will be a great place to visit in the summer months.

We recently stayed in the lovely Hideaway with our pooch, it was very clean, homey, comfortable, warm and cosy.

We were hoping for a chilled week and The Hideaway ticked all our boxes. There was a lovely small welcome pack and some doggie biscuits, which after a 3 hour drive was very welcome. We walked the beaches in the day, came home, made a beautiful fire and a glass of wine. I can imagine in the summer it would be gorgeous sat in the garden. We would happily recommend and look forward to visiting again.

The cottage The Hideaway was lovely, very clean, beautiful views.

The owners were very nice and helpful. Would recommend to anyone.

For peace and tranquillity the Hideaway is unbeatable.

Great walks nearby, close to the coast and we are looking forward to booking for a third visit. Nicki is a charming and generous hostess offering so many goodies for us all, including our wee pouch, Bumble. Book this charming thatched cottage, you will not be disappointed!

We have just spent a week at The Hideaway, and we didn't want write this review as by doing so we will have to tell you how Fantastic it is, which will mean more of you will want to stay in this dream cottage, we wanted to keep it for ourselves.

Nicki and Ben have achieved what in our book is perfection,they have thought of everything, and the cottage is spotless in every respect. The parking is the only fly in the ointment, it's a very short walk from the parking pull off, down a slight slope in the lane to the front garden gate, then an upward slope to the patio and front door, about 3 mins for you fitter ones and about 6 mins for us not so fit ones. But trust us - when you get to the patio you get your first WOW - the view. Then when you enter the cottage you get your second WOW ! it's even better than the pictures,and when you climb the 10 stair treads to the bedroom and shower room you get your third WOW ! Would we stay there again - you bet, that's if you lot don't book it up !!! Jean & Peter Hamilton-Black

A lovely little cottage in the most beautiful area.

Outside is a perfect place to sit and enjoy the extraordinary view and friendly chickens, inside the cottage is well equipped, comfortable, friendly and all that one can imagine from a thatched cottage in the Devon countryside. Lots to explore nearby. We had a wonderful time.

We had a fabulous stay in the Hideaway, a beautiful and cosy cottage in the perfect spot for exploring Devon.

Lovely home in beautiful location Garden is not fully enclosed so sometimes used running line when we were going in and out of the house to get drinks etc Very large comfy bed and bedroom with stunning views

The property was further out of Ottery St.

Mary than we would have liked. When we booked the address was given as Ottery St. Mary. The cottage was in a quiet location with lovely views. We were surprised that given the cottage is for 2 people there was only one enormous saucepan and an enormous frying pan. A smaller pan would have been more practical especially as there wasn't a microwave. If we had wanted to cook a few beans or an egg this would have been impossible.

Lovely cottage.

Very comfortable - everything we needed was there. Dog particularly enjoyed the fenced in garden.

We have just had an absolutely gorgeous stay at The Hideaway in beautiful Ottery St Mary in Devon The cottage was absolutely lovely and very cosy and comfortable We had everything we needed for our stay and the owners were very friendly and welcoming We had a welcome gift waiting for us and the homemade jam was delicious We had finished the jar before the end of our stay !

Hadleigh our dog had some biscuits left for him too The cottage was in a lovely secluded area with a beautiful garden with plenty of seating We were blessed with lovely sunny weather and spent some relaxing evenings in the garden There are lots of places to visit within a short drive and some really nice dog walks nearby with dog friendly pubs We would really recommend The Hideaway for a wonderful holiday This was our first visit to Devon and we will definitely be coming back Penny and Carl

The Hideaway is part of a beautiful Devon Cob cottage situated in a tiny village just outside Ottery St.

Mary. It is comfortable and has everything we required for our stay with a pretty natural garden overlooking their pond and vines with some chickens and ducks wandering around. You can walk to Ottery St.Mary where there are a couple of pubs and a Sainsbury supermarket. Nicki and Ben are on hand should you need them but they don't impose. If you are happy with peace and quiet then The Hideaway is for you.

It is a great peaceful place but would benefit from a small microwave in the kitchen and the foliage cut back a bit on the entrance pathway.

Otherwise a perfect place.

The perfect pre-baby break - a beautiful peaceful location hidden down a quiet country lane within a few minutes drive of Ottery St Mary.

Comfortable, charming, clean & stylish cottage (Nicki clearly has a great eye!), complete with a well appointed kitchen with everything we needed for a week of self-catering. Super comfortable bed and large walk-in shower, which was much appreciated at 8 months pregnant! Great that our Labrador could join us too - the garden isn’t fully enclosed but we just used a long line so she could explore safely.

We had a fantastic holiday at the Hideaway.

The location and views were unbelievable.The property had all modern amenities,but retained its old world charm.Even though it is in the middle of countryside it is only 1 1/2 miles from the shops.The owners were very friendly.We were left flowers,homemade jam and wood for the log burner.The bed was extremely confortable and good pressure in the shower.Would definitely stay again.

What a lovely cottage, inside and out.

We had a really lovely stay at The Hideaway. The cottage was well equipped and clean on arrival. We were even lucky enough to see the wild deer. Thank you for such a beautiful place to explore Devon!

We had a wonderful few days at The Hideaway.

It is literally home from home with everything you could need. The surroundings are beautiful. With only a short drive you can get to Sidmouth or Budleigh Salterton beaches. There is a great information pack at the property which is really helpful.

We enjoyed our stay at the cob cottage it was Very relaxing and peaceful.

The owners of the cottage where very helpful and knowledgeable.We are thinking of staying there are again!.

The Hideaway is a lovely real old fashioned cottage.

We booked it for a quiet break and we weren’t disappointed. Sure we were there in February and the roads and surrounding towns/villages were quiet, which was perfect for us. The cottage was clean and comfortable. As others have mentioned there are low beams but at 6’ 2” tall, I was more than prepared to duck as necessary. The living area was more than big enough for two. There’s a log fire and if it’s cold you will go through logs very quickly. As a bonus the cottage has central heating radiators, which didn’t expect. There’s no way to control the timings of the central heating as the controls, I believe, are located in the main house. For us this wasn’t a problem. The bedroom was very spacious with a comfortable bed. The bathroom was of a decent size but as there’s a sloping ceiling, for those of us who are tall, you’ll need to watch your head! The kitchen is small but fine for the 2 of us. There’s no microwave as there’s no room to put in a microwave. The fridge is small and it got full really quickly but again there’s no space for a bigger fridge. The tv is small and somewhat dated, lacking the connectivity to steaming devices. The internet is painfully slow. Speed tests show download speeds to be no more than 2Mbs, reminding me of internet speeds of 20 yrs ago! However, BT can only offer this speed because of its remoteness. We were well prepared as we had downloaded more films/ tv programs before we set off from home. Just one other point on the internet, the router wasn’t in the cottage so it wasn’t possible to hard wire to it. I think the router was in the main house, so the owner and us were sharing the small bandwidth. Nicki, the host, was very friendly and helpful. We really loved the cottage and would definitely go back again.

The beautiful cottage was spotless and had everything you needed.

Lovely dog walks and plenty of beaches nearby. We can definitely recommend staying here.

Would highly recommend The Hideaway.

It was comfortable clean and relaxing. Log burner was the icing on the cake. Great for a get away from it all break. Will definitely be back

We enjoyed our stay at The Hideaway, visiting family in Ottery.

The cottage has a very cosy feel, log burner kept us warm. Quite narrow lanes to the property but not an issue for us. Would have found a microwave useful, but understandable as small kitchen. Owners very friendly.

the perfect cosy getaway!

We loved the wood burner and the bedroom is nice and spacious. A lovely welcome from the host with hand written note and bubbles on ice :) Thanks for a wonderful stay in Devon!

Delightful cottage.

Lived up to expectations. As our stay was leading up to Christmas we were welcomed with mince pies and lovely festive decorations .Rather than dreading the long evenings we embraced the opportunity to relax in front of the very efficient log burner. This was our first holiday with our rescue dog and she loved it . The location was nice and quiet with the garden for her to sniff around. NB the garden is not totally secure so we used a long line for her. We were lucky with the weather it was very mild. The lane leading to the cottage is narrow and steep in parts so if the conditions are frosty/icy it would be a challenging drive if you dont have a 4 x4 .

Nicky our host was delightful - she even gave us some homemade mince pies.

The hideaway is a wonderful thatched cottage in a brilliant area - it has everything you’d want from a country and sea side holiday.

What a lovely little cottage!

It lives up to its name, as it is tucked away down some narrow roads. On arrival you are met with a cosy cottage with a beautiful view from the garden. Warm welcome from the owners who live next door. Inside we were welcomed with fresh flowers and a lovely jar of jam for us, doggy treats for our pooch, which was a nice touch. Large lounge with sofa and chair (which look fantastic but not very comfy, I’m being really picky here but that’s why I gave a little less rating on comfort). The best part is the wood burner, easy to use, and makes the cottage glow! Fantastic especially on the chilly autumn evenings. The kitchen is small but it has everything to cook a meal quite happily (we did). The big bedroom is found upstairs. Lovely room, king sized bed I think. Bathroom had a nice shower, no bath. All in all the cottage was presented very well, clean and tidy. We took the dog on some great walks near by on east hill and fire beacon. Fantastic on a crisp autumn morning, leaves crunching underfoot. Sidmouth and Ottery St Mary really close by, and easy to get to. We would definitely recommend this little hideaway cottage. Our test is ‘would we go again?’ Yes we would, love, love, loved it.

Lovely oldy wordly accommodation in beautiful peaceful setting.

Thoroughly recommended

We had an amazing holiday in The Hideaway, we wanted to get away from it all and we couldn't have been more remote.

The dark skies were amazing, we've not seen so many stars for a long time. We found the cottage very comfortable and spotlessly clean. It had everything we needed for our stay. The log burner was the icing on the cake. We very much enjoyed a glass of wine and a good book curled up in front of the fire in the evening. It's a shame we holidayed in winter as the garden was lovely and we would have been very happy sitting outside in the sun!! It's nice to know that the owners are just next door and we found them very helpful and friendly. The only comment I would make is that the stairs are quite steep and each step is quite high. However, the bannister is very strong to hold on to, and so they didn't present us with any problems. We really hope to book the cottage again for next year. All in all 10 out of 10 and highly recommended.

Lovely cosy little cottage.

Owners provided more logs for the wood burner when we ran out. Very poor reception for both WiFi and phone signal but didn't matter much. Beautiful views. We felt very much 'at home '.

We had a delightful stay at the Hideaway - very well appointed, cosy and quiet.

Nicki and Ben were great hosts. We’ve already booked a week for next year!

The listing failed to say the roads are very very narrow and you can't park outside the house.

It is a very steep hill to get to the car. Not suitable for people with disabilities and older people. The picture shows a lovely big pond but that belongs to the owners and you cant walk round it, also the garden at the end is very steep and the land where you can walk is just very rough ground. I would say ok for young people but not for older

An enchanting and simply delightful “real” Hideaway.

Nicki & Ben were brilliant hosts and we loved it so much. We will be returning next year. The best Sykes experience so far, and we have had quite a lot. A true gem!

The Hideaway is exactly that , an idyllic cottage in a gorgeous quiet location.

The cottage has everything you need and was brilliantly appointed. Couldn’t fault anything at all, we had a fantastic time here and would whole heartedly recommend. The only addition we would suggest would be some steamer type chairs for the wonderful garden area.

This little hideaway was literally finding the jewel in the crown of Devon!

A gorgeous, clean, comfortable and idyllic location to forget your worries of the world and relax in the most beautiful setting that you could ever imagine. Tucked away in the middle of the beautiful countryside is this amazing oasis of relaxation. A perfect location for a romantic getaway with the added bonus of being able to bring your important furry friend with you! I cannot recommend this place enough and having spent a week there I would have no hesitation in suggesting anyone reading this review to book in right now for as soon as you can.
