Hideaway
Description
A fabulous retreat for two, The Hideaway has serious wow factor. Part of a beautifully converted Grade II listed barn, the lofty interior is simply incredible. Put your feet up in front of the wood burning stove in the magnificent open plan living space and sleep in an enormous superking size bed on the galleried mezzanine above. For sheer indulgence you can sip champagne in the freestanding bath which sits majestically in the centre of the bedroom. A little terrace beside the ornamental pond is perfect for sunny breakfasts and there is also an orchard leading to a paddock which are shared with the owners who live in the adjacent barn. The Hideaway sits within the grounds of the former landed Figg-Hoblyn estate and a walk through the nearby woodland will reveal the ruins of the manor house, left to rack and ruin after a family dispute; in fact the heir to the estate has never been found after disappearing to America during the Second World War. Off the beaten track, this a lovely quiet spot yet it is only three miles to the north coast at Watergate Bay giving you the best of both worlds; absolute peace and quiet within easy reach of coastal life.
Other nearby beaches include Fistral, Porth, Holywell Bay and Mawgan Porth. For watersports the Extreme Academy at Watergate Bay cannot be beaten with everything from kite surfing to waveskiing to hand planing (no we didn't know what it was either). If you would rather be relaxing then a spot of spa pampering can be arranged at The Watergate Bay, Bedruthan Steps or Scarlet Hotel, all of which are within a few miles. Foodies should head to Rick Stein at Padstow or Nathan Outlaw at Port Isaac, both of which you will need to book in advance, failing that there is a good foodie pub less than a mile away. To top it all off the owners provide a delicious cream tea on arrival plus logs for the wood burner.
For larger groups we also let the adjoining property The Lost Barn (ref 1662) which sleeps 4.

What guests are saying
A gem of a property from the first contact with the owner Tara to the property itself faultless.
The Hideaway is probably the nicest property we have ever stayed at in the UK . You are left wanting for nothing the property has everything you need for home comforts . The bed is unbelievably comfortable and huge , the linen and towels great quality and the location idyllic. The welcome treats are the best including cold champagne in the fridge. The locals ( ducks ) very friendly and always up for a quack !! The location is ideal only a few miles from Newquay and an hour to Tintagel in the north and Falmouth , Penzance and St Ives to the south . Padstow is 30 or so mins away and Lands end about 80mins. With this all so close by but still the most quiet and relaxing location in the heart of the Cornish countryside 10/10 or more if we could give it . A perfect holiday had by us both.
Hideaway was great overall and we had a lovely stay.
First impressions walking in were 'wow!' and the welcome basket and milk in the fridge was very much appreciated after the long drive. A few things stopped it being five stars for us. Some small things, like no matches provided to light the fire, salt and pepper mills provided but empty, and no dishwasher tabs. We did find the downstairs bathroom had a musty smell after a few days - there looks like a gap between the shower tile and the floor which could explain it. The upstairs window door's fixing had broken, which made it difficult to open/close. The oven also seemed to take a very long time to cook anything (completely opposite to the very powerful microwave!). So we did enjoy our stay overall, but just found a few frustrations along the way.
We had a fantastic stay at the Hideaway.
The place is just gorgeous. An absolutely beautiful setting with the most luxurious and eclectic interior. Lovely hosts who we would like thank for the hospitality, welcoming champagne, cream tea and local goodies. Would book again in a heartbeat
