• "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!

  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.

• "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

  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.

  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 !

• "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.

  Thank you for your feedback. The address of the cottage is Ottery St Mary as that is the nearest postal town. We are less than 2 miles from the town centre and the exact location is shown on the map on the listing at the time of booking. We're sorry you felt like the property would be nearer to the town but The Hideaway is advertised as a rural property. We appreciate a small frying pan would be a useful addition so will be adding one, there are however three saucepans (a standard set of small/medium/large) which we feel is adequate. We would also like to add a microwave but there just isn't room in the kitchen unfortunately. Property Owner

• "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.

  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 .

  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.

  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.

• "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

  Thank you for your feedback. We genuinely hope all our guests have an enjoyable stay so it was disappointing to read that you weren't happy. The lanes in rural Devon do tend to be narrower than in more built up areas, some say it's what adds to the charm of holidaying somewhere such as Devon or Cornwall. Regarding the parking, unfortunately there wasn't room to put in a separate driveway, but there is private parking approximately 25 yards from the garden gate, up a gentle incline. The pond you refer to is on our land, but the photos do show it as being the other side of the garden fence. We thought it was better to provide guests with a view rather than put a high fence up. However, we do let people walk in our field, in addition to the many walks from the doorstep. Although, the grass is mowed regularly, it's not bowling green flat, as it's a field. Once again I'm sorry the property wasn't suited to you, but we do feel the description and photo's accurately describe the cottage Property Owner
