This Christmas, we returned to Hawkings Hideaway, the place where we got engaged in December 2021, and it was just as magical as we remembered. The cosy amenities were perfect for a festive getaway, with every detail thoughtfully prepared. The sauna nestled in the woods was a wonderful touch, and relaxing in the hot tub under the stars was unforgettable. The breathtaking views from the Hideaway made every moment feel special, and the service from David and Sarah was truly outstanding. Hawkings Hideaway holds a special place in our hearts, and we can't wait to visit again.

From the moment of our initial booking, to the point of checking out, David and Sarah were responsive, helpful and welcoming hosts. Despite getting a bit lost in the darkening evening, once we found Hawkings Hideaway, we began to unwind, de-stess from the week and fully enjoy our stay. Set in the most stunning location, overlooking the autumnal colours of the surrounding countryside, we enjoyed a very peaceful and private long birthday weekend. We would heartily recommend Hawkings Hideaway to anyone wishing to reconnect with nature and spend a few romantic days away from it all.
