Beautiful area

Guests love this home’s scenic location.
Nestled within 30 acres of private farmland & ancient woodland, The Den at The Hideaways is a sanctuary designed to help you slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with nature, yourself, and the people who matter most. Here, the relentless pace of modern life fades, replaced by the gentle rhythms of the countryside. Whether unwinding in your private double hot tub & sauna, or cozying up by the fireplace, every moment invites simplicity, serenity, and a deeper appreciation for life’s quiet joys

The space
As you step inside, the stillness greets you first the kind that settles in your bones and invites you to exhale. Warm, soft lighting bathes the space in a golden glow, casting gentle shadows across the oak floor that echoes the woodland just outside. Linen curtains flutter at the edge of a large picture window, framing a view of ancient trees where sunlight filters through the branches and birds call softly in the distance.

To your right, a deep, inviting sofa stretches out beside a gently wood-burning stove. The air carries a subtle hint of smoke and pine. A small shelf holds a selection of Penguin Classics, well-thumbed wildlife guides, and a pair of binoculars, waiting to help you meet the creatures who share this land. A vintage camera invites you to capture moments the old-fashioned way, while a small wooden music box hums quiet, ambient melodies perfect for slow mornings curled up under a blanket, tea in hand.

A king-size bed beckons with soft memory foam, natural linens and cloud-like pillows. It’s the kind of bed you melt into, the kind where sleep comes easily and morning arrives slowly. Outside, birdsong replaces alarm clocks. The breeze through the trees becomes your soundtrack.

The bathroom is a cocoon of comfort. A powerful walk-in shower steams against the air, with plush robes waiting to wrap around you afterward. Shelves are lined with luxury shampoos and conditioners, chosen for their scent as much as their feel, a touch of the spa in the heart of the woods.

The fully equipped kitchen where simplicity meets beauty holds everything you need to create meals filled with passion and joy. A stove-top kettle whistles as you begin your morning brew ritual filling your cafetiere as the smell of hot pressed coffee fills the air. Artisan ceramics turn even the most humble meal into a ritual. Whether you're making breakfast, pouring wine, or just slicing fruit, everything invites presence.

Gathering around the handcrafted Iroko dining table. Curated lighting glows overhead, and candles flicker beside your plate. Conversation slows. The built-in reading nook waits just steps away, layered in cushions and warm light, perfect for losing yourself in a story or a moment of stillness.

And then step outside.

The deck stretches into nature. The air is fresh, the silence alive. Soak in your private hot tub beneath a canopy of stars, or warm your body in your own outdoor sauna as the forest exhales around you. A rabbit might pass through the clearing. An owl might call overhead. You, wrapped in heat and stillness, belong here.

Every detail of The Den has been designed not just for comfort, but for connection to the land, to the moment, to yourself. This is more than a place to stay. It’s a gentle invitation to come back to what matters. To be quiet. To breathe. To live slow.
