The Hideaway at Burrow Hill is consistently praised for its cleanliness, comfort, and picturesque location. Guests appreciate the thoughtful touches, including welcome packs and dog biscuits. The cottage's charm, coupled with its proximity to beaches and towns, makes it a highly recommended stay. The garden and views are particularly lauded, although the steep access and lack of microwave are noted.
Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviewers frequently mention the spotlessness of the cottage, indicating a very high level of cleanliness that contributes positively to their overall experience.
The location is described as beautiful and peaceful, with lovely views and proximity to the coast and local amenities. Some guests mention the narrow access roads, but this does not significantly detract from the overall positive reception of the location.
Guests find the cottage comfortable, noting the cosy atmosphere, warm fire, and large comfy bed. A few comments about the furniture and steep stairs suggest a slight deduction from an otherwise excellent comfort rating.
The property is well-equipped for a pleasant stay, though a few guests missed having a microwave and noted the small kitchen size. The lack of a secure garden for pets and slow internet are minor concerns.
The hosts are frequently commended for their thoughtfulness, including welcome packs and treats for both guests and pets. While these gestures are highly appreciated, it is politely noted that such extras are subject to change and not guaranteed.
About this property
Nestled on the remarkable grounds of the owners home, on the outskirts of the quaint town of Otter St Mary, rests this traditional thatched annexe, The Hideaway. Enveloped in picturesque countryside, The Hideaway offers a romantic retreat for couples looking to explore the delights of the beautiful county of Devon. You'll be delighted by the rustic character of the interior as you step over the threshold and into the charming living/dining room, beautifully-appointed with original beams and exposed wood paneling, providing a snug space to nestle into an armchair in front of the warming woodburning stove to enjoy a moment of peace after an adventure-filled day. Continuing through the property, enter into the pint-sized kitchen, featuring a charming country-style décor and housing all of the essential amenities required to rustle up a romantic meal for two to enjoy gathered around the intimate dining table. End each day in style and unwind with a seat in the tranquil garden, enveloped in the peaceful greenery as you soak in the captivating views across the duck pond to the elegant vineyard beyond, toasting a glass of fizz with your significant other to an unforgettable holiday. When sleep calls, climb the staircase and enter into the delightful double bedroom, thoughtfully laid out with stained wood flooring and rustic wood furnishings, maintaining the property's traditional character and offering a calming setting to rest your head. In the morning, prepare for a new day with an invigorating rinse in the spacious walk-in shower before heading out to explore your surroundings. Take a well deserved break from doing the cooking and head into the heart of Ottery St Mary where you'll find a plethora of eateries to choose from, including traditional country pubs, quaint tea rooms and a delicious takeaway, where you can enjoy a portion of fish and chips as you take a leisurely stroll along the banks of the scenic River Otter. Nestled on the beautiful Jurassic Coast is the seaside town of Sidmouth, home to a marvellous stretch of golden sand, where thrill-seekers can tackle the waves with a lesson in paddleboarding, or if you'd prefer to stay on land, discover the fascinating local history on display at Sidmouth Museum or follow the South West Coast Path through the grassland to the top of Peak Hill, where you'll be lost for words by the exceptional panoramic views of the water offered from the summit. Further afield is the vibrant University city of Exeter, where you'll be spoilt for choice with the exciting range of attractions on offer, including the history of moving image on display at Bill Douglas Cinema Museum, or partake in a guided tour through the medieval underground passageways that used to transport water under the city, and if you time it right, you might even catch Devon's Premiership rugby team, the Exeter Chiefs, play at Sandy Park. Where you're looking to discover the dramatic coastline, or the picturesque countryside, The Hideaway offers an idyllic base for your next adventure.
The pretty town of Ottery St Mary is nestled on the banks of the River Otter in the picturesque countryside of Devon. The town homes a selection of traditional country pubs serving up quality local produce as well as plenty of boutique stores. Towering above the rooftops is a striking church, often compared as a lookalike to Exeter cathedral, which itself is within easy touring distance, along with the dramatic Jurassic Coast.

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

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.

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!!!
