The Hideaway is a peaceful, cosy retreat converted from the original stables to a large airy studio, minutes from Dawlish town, beach, and train station. Tucked away in a quiet spot, it’s stylish, spotless, and perfectly equipped for a relaxing stay. Guests love the comfy bed, log burner, and thoughtful touches throughout. Ideal for solo travellers or couples, with a welcoming host and everything you need close by. A hidden gem on the Devon coast.

The space
Guests absolutely love The Hideaway – a cosy, quiet retreat just a 5-minute walk from Dawlish town, the seafront, and the train station. Tucked away in a peaceful spot yet close to everything, it’s the perfect base for solo travellers, couples, or anyone wanting a relaxing break by the coast.

The space is described as spotlessly clean, well thought out, and incredibly comfortable, with guests especially appreciating the comfy bed, soft sofa, log burner, and the thoughtful touches like electric skylight blinds, treats for both guests and dogs, and a well-equipped kitchen. Whether you're staying in winter or summer, it's warm, welcoming, and feels like a home from home.

Visitors love how spacious and well-presented the property is, offering both style and practicality. Guests also enjoy the sunny private outdoor dining area which is fully enclosed with 3ft fencing for smaller dogs. The Hideaway is ideal for those wanting to explore the coast path, enjoy train trips on the Riviera Line, or unwind in Dawlish’s charming town centre, complete with tea rooms, independent shops, and the famous black swans.

Many reviewers highlight how safe and comfortable the property feels—perfect for solo travellers—and several guests have returned for repeat stays. The combination of quiet seclusion and central location makes it a real gem.

Guests appreciate the warm welcome, quick communication, and attention to detail. They feel truly looked after, whether it’s a last-minute booking or a planned holiday, and many say the experience far exceeded their expectations.

Whether you're curling up by the fire, enjoying a peaceful garden morning, or setting out for scenic walks along the coast, The Hideaway offers the perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and charm. A true coastal bolthole – highly recommended by all who stay.

Accessibility at Plantation Hideaway

We want every guest to feel comfortable and at ease during their stay. Here’s a simple overview of what to expect:

• Parking is in a dedicated space on our driveway, just a short walk from the Hideaway.
• The path to the entrance is around 30 metres, with gravel underfoot and rubber stepping stones to help with stability.
• The front door is a wide stable door with a low threshold, and once inside, the Hideaway is all on one level.
• The bathroom is spacious and easy to move around in. Please note that the shower has a step up, which may be challenging for guests with limited mobility.
• The outdoor seating area is a little further along the gravel path and is level once reached.
