Hideaway Cottage

Hideaway Cottage is an alpine-style lodge on a hillside within Honicombe Manor Holiday Resort, in the hamlet of St Ann's Chapel, 1.5 miles from Gunnislake. It sleeps eight and is built reverse-level: the four bedrooms are on the ground floor and the living space is upstairs.

The ground-floor bedrooms are a double with access to a Jack-and-Jill bathroom, a twin, and two twins with 2'6" beds. A shower room serves the rest. Upstairs, the open-plan kitchen has a dishwasher, washing machine and coffee maker, and the dining area seats eight. A balcony with furniture opens off the sitting area. On the patio below there is a hot tub, and off-road parking takes two cars. A cot, highchair and stairgate are available, and bed linen, towels, fuel and power are included in the rent.

Guests can use the estate's on-site restaurant and bar, gym, bike hire and table tennis, and the tennis courts. A notice says the indoor pool is closed until Easter, so check it has reopened when booking. Stays have a four night minimum, check-in is from 4pm and check-out at 10am, and the owner asks to be told about any booking changes.

Two well-behaved dogs are welcome and smoking is not allowed. The lodge suits a family group or friends who want a hot tub; it is less good for anyone who does not want to climb a floor to reach the kitchen and living space.
