Lovely 2nd visit to Harriet’s Hideaway. Just as good 2nd time except the weather!!The welcome pack of tea/coffee/milk sachets/biscuits was very much appreciated.

Loved Harriet's Hideaway and would definitely book again. Fabulous location for walking and straight out of the door into the forest behind. The cottage was lovely, cosy, warm and very comfortable. Just one little moan and that was a complete lack of cleaning products. No washing up liquid, kitchen or bathroom cleaner so we had to go out and buy some. That is my only small complaint.
8 / 10Excellent·Mar 2026
No spare toilet paper. No salt or pepper. Rubber bathmat a bit manky. Outside bench had weeds growing through. (all small matters which didn't spoil the overall satisfaction)That said, cottage had all bases covered in respect to everyday needs and was in a very pleasant situation with good walks and outstanding natural beauty. Lost a few pounds in weight and came home feeling really energised, as did the rest of the family. Definite return prospect.
