My husband and I are looking for a place to live in the south hams area and this is a great base to check some areas. The park is very quiet, and once inside the chalet you feel you are in your own bubble surrounded by silence and tranquility. It is well equipped and feels very homely and cosy. The only thing is that the mattress was soft so not sure if it needs changing or perhaps more suitable for lightweight people as it felt like you were sinking. The mattress in the other room was more firm so you can always choose depending on your needs. The highlight for me was the tv, loved it! I wan't to buy the same haha. If you are looking for peace but want to be close to amenities and the sea, this is the place to be, you won't be disappointed. I recommend doing the route along the coast from dartmouth to slapton wow!!!

We stayed at The Hideaway and unfortunately came away feeling quite disappointed overall. The chalet itself was comfortable, but it didnt quite live up to the wow description. One of the main isues we noticed was damp on the floor, we left a large canvas bag down overnight and found the bottom of it damp the next morning, along with the clothes inside, and with visible condensation on the floor. Cleanlines also seemed to be lacking in several areas. Some of the plates were chipped, and one of the cups were broken, and we felt the need to rewash everything before using it. On our last day, when stripping the beds, we noticed that one of the duvets and some pillows were very dirty, which was disappointing We also received a mesage the day before departure asking for a review and wishing us safe travels home (implying we had departed) whilst this may have been well-intentioned, it caused some confusion and briefly made us think we had overstayed and it marred a lovely day.
