Lovely little accommodation which was perfect for what we wanted in a long weekend getaway. Set in a beautiful, remote location but half an hour away by car to many coastal towns in Dorset, it really is ideally located. Simple decor inside with a wonderfully comfortable bed and a kitchen with everything you need. Very happy with our stay.

Flat with lovely views!

Lovely little flat with great views over the garden and paddock. Spotlessly clean, comfortable bed and everything you could need for your stay. Perfect if you love nature, deer and squirrels in the horse paddock nearly every day we stayed. There is a nice garden to relax in on sunnier days and the hosts were very helpful and welcoming.

We had a lovely, peaceful, stay in this forest-located accommodation. There was everything we needed for a week's stay and I have no doubt the charming hosts would have assisted us if we had needed any more. The accommodation is very comfortable and the sitting area outside has nice views of the forest and fields. All local attractions (RSPB Arne, Lulworth Cove, Corfe Castle etc.) are in easy reach by car. In short, many thanks for a great break! :)

Comfy and Quiet

The Hydeaway is in a tranquil location yet ideally situated for the many local attractions and towns, such as Compton Acres Gardens, Athelhampton House, RSPB Arne, Swanage, Weymouth, Corfe Castle etc. Lovely views of the fields and woods from the property which is owned by Julian And Caroline who are very amiable hosts. Highly Recommended.

Julian and Caroline's hide away has excellent views and great walks abound. We booked our stay early December and we were met by Julian upon arrival, he showed us around the 1 bedroom property built above the garage area. Luckily for us Julian had anticipated our arrival at 5pm and so had the heating on which made for a comfortable stay, also there was a welcome pack of tea milk and coffee to hand! Oh by the way a big shout out for the comfortable bed!! The roads leading to and from the property are a little bumpy, as they are well worn! Overall we had a great three night stay the property which is well located to all the local attractions. Regards

As good as it gets

If you like to get out into the countryside this is as good as it gets. Julian & Caroline are perfect hosts, the property is clean and tidy plus everything you need is there and the surroundings are just as good if not better than the photo's. There are no negatives from us and we would definately like to return again. Thank you both for a great weeks stay.

Peaceful short stay

A lovely, quiet stay at the end of a long drive/track. Flat is as described, light and airy, overlooking woodland and paddocks. The two settees are comfortable after a day on your feet and the bed is big, comfortable and cosy. Hosts were very helpful and were there to greet us and to say goodbye. Food basics are supplied, tea, coffee, sugar and condiments. The only thing that couldn't be arranged was some sunshine!!

Remote property in lovely surroundings

Perfect for us. We had a long weekend to explore this part of Dorset. Host very friendly and welcoming. The property is over their double garage so if you need them easy to see but we never saw them once which is nice. Well stocked with kitchen utensils if you want to eat in. We explored all day and come back early evening, bit of a challenge if you don’t like driving in the dark but we identified landmarks that helped so no problem. Kitchen window looks on to fields with horses from their stables and an occasional spotting of deer. Loving if you like walking. Property decor is tired but homely and didn’t bother us at all. Would probably return to see it in the summer.

A perfect retreat

A fantastic place to stay, with so much in the area to see and do. We especially enjoyed visits to Wareham and Worth Matravers, and the chance to see the peregrines at Corfe Castle - and the Tolpuddle Martyrs museum! Our hosts were discretion personified.

Lovely rural location

We had a lovely few days staying here. There was everything you needed in the property it was clean and tidy. The rural location was great nothing around but forest and nature. You are not too far away from the main attractions of the area. My only downside was the road up to the property had a few potholes so drive carefully. We would definitely come again.

Beautiful quiet location at the end of winding country lanes. Accomodation is adjacent to the farmhouse and overlooks paddocks. Pheasant, rabbits and deer were seen at various times. Single bedroom, very comfortable double bed, with single bed in living area for a third person if required. Fully fitted kitchen, TV and wifi. Owners very approachable and accomodating.

Escape to Peace and Serenity

The property is adequate for any stay and was comfortable. The decor is not lavish and considering the time spent in the property was entirely sufficient. The hosts were most welcoming and congenial. They offered any additional support as required and I am convinced would have delivered. The property is remote but that was such a plus. Welcomed by horses and a cuckoo, then nature in its finest gown, and deer. Grand, elegant beasts. The fauna was breathtaking and the proximity of the well known sights convenient. Would I return? Yes of course.

Home from Home in a beautiful peaceful location.

From the initial drive down the single track lanes in beautiful scenery to the arrival at the location in a quiet oasis of tranquility the first impressions were excellent. On arrival we were met by the very friendly owner and shown the flat. Everything you could need was supplied, in a very homely and clean interior. It’s shoes off before going up the stairs to the flat and the only thing I missed was maybe a stool to help with putting your shoes on before going out. The bed linen was very white and clean and the towels were quality. We did some simple cooking and we wanted for nothing. The bed was very comfortable. Bathroom and shower were clean and tidy. We do enjoy Dorset and this would be our first choice for a place to stay next time we visit.

Highly recommended for peace, quiet and privacy

Already during the warm and friendly welcome, the Hydeaway felt like a home from home. The only thing you can hear here, are the sounds of nature, which we highly appreciated. The owners are there if you have any questions, but furthermore respect your privacy to the fullest. The flat had everything we needed, including a comfortable bed, a powerful shower and a washing machine. There are plenty of walks from the doorstep. A car is a must, because there are no groceryshops within walking distance. Wareham can be reached within 15-20 minutes by car by a beautiful drive, and is a lovely town. Other beautiful places to visit are within easy reach as well. Highly recommended!

Visiting family for a few days

We were made to feel very welcome. The property was just 12 mins from where our family were, so an ideal spot for us. Clean and comfortable plus value for money. We would have loved to make more use of the tennis court, but weather was not our best friend. Would definitely book again for another visit.
