Guests say
Guests consistently praise Hideaway for its tranquil setting, impressive views, and comfortable furnishings. The property's remote location offers peace and scenic beauty, with a well-equipped kitchen and a cosy atmosphere. The host, Mrs. Cleeve, is commended for her hospitality. While Wi-Fi can be spotty and the shower facility has mixed reviews, the overall experience is highly regarded for those seeking a relaxing retreat.
The cottage is frequently described as very clean, with no negative comments on cleanliness, indicating a high standard maintained by the host.
The location is praised for its outstanding views and tranquility. However, the remote setting and steep access may not suit everyone, and some guests mention a drive is needed for activities.
Comfort is highlighted with mentions of a good-sized bedroom, comfortable bed, and cosy atmosphere. Some guests found the mattresses in the bunk beds slightly lumpy, but overall comfort is rated highly.
Facilities are well-regarded with a well-equipped kitchen and BBQ lodge. However, the Wi-Fi signal is inconsistent and the shower facility received mixed reviews, affecting the score.
While guests appreciate the hospitality and mention being welcomed with tea and biscuits, there is not enough consistent information about gifts to score thoughtfulness. It should be noted that such gestures are not guaranteed.

The cottage is hidden away down a fairly steep hill. The property is a good size and is well laid out inside with comfortable furnishings. The bedroom is a good size and the bed is very comfortable. The bathroom is the only let down because the shower is not an actual shower, but a shower head which you use to shower your self down, that is only possible if you are small enough to fit in the bath as the ceiling slopes over the bath area. The kitchen is well equipped and has everything you need to cook and eat there. The view from the windows is impressive over the valley. The Wi-Fi signal fluctuates and is not very good.

Lovely stay at hideaway in brompton ralph somerset. Sheila is a lovely lady and host. Very comfortable and picturesque views from the lovely gardens. No wifi, that not for the want of trying... there's such a poor reception in the immediate area. Shower is adequate, but the bath 🛁 is perfect 👌
