The rooms here are large, well equipped and ours had a beautiful bathroom. The gardens and Eco pool are delightful and worth the stay alone. A good breakfast in the lounge overlooking the pool was enjoyable. Would recommend as a stop off along the garden route or just off Route 62. ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### Catherine Jan 2, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Good value for money What a amazing find; the room was luxurious and of such high quality.

Breakfasts served by the Eco pool were wonderful. Ideas for days out were pre prepared with printouts of details of routes and stop offs, as well as the loan of local maps. Beautiful gardens. Fantastic place to stay. ##### patricia ### 10/10 Excellent #### Diana, Angel Fire Dec 1, 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Just incredible We had a wonderful, albeit too short, visit. The Hideaway grounds are gorgeous and this small B & B has everything you could possibly want. It deserves every one of it's 5 stars. Breakfast was just incredible. The hosts try hard to think of every consideration, even to the point of driving out of town to where they'd suggested a hike to leave a note to tell us that we'd forgotten our IPod....far beyond the responsibility of any host in my opinion! I'd stay there again in a heart beat ##### Diana ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rene, Switzerland Nov 29, 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Just perfect Just perfect ##### Rene ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Aug 10, 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Schöne Lage und toller Ausblick Im Winter ist das Mosselberg on Grotto Beach leider nur eine durchschnittliche Wahl. Die Zimmer sind etwas kalt und lassen sich nur schwer aufheizen. Die Ausstattung ist dafür sehr gut, genauso der Ausblick. Weniger gut ist die Hellhörigkeit. Die Lage mit direktem Strandzugang (fünf Minuten zu Fuß) ist super. Der Service war dagegen durchschnittlich, man ist bemüht, bekommt aber nicht wirklich viel hin. Im Sommer gerne wieder, im Winter würden wir zukünftig etwas anderes ausprobieren. ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### Wolfgang, Großostheim Mar 5, 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Übernachtung in kapholländischer Atmosphäre Kleines, aber sehr gepflegtes B&B mit besonders netter, augesprochen freundlicher und zuvorkommender Betreuung durch das Betreiber-Ehepaar. Man fühlt sich in victorianische Zeiten zurückversetzt. ##### Wolfgang ### 10/10 Excellent #### Heather Sep 19, 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A perfect hideaway Nothing was too much trouble at The Hideaway, every detail had been thought of and was catered for. ##### Heather ### 8/10 Good #### N.E. Jan 4, 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice B&B with a beautiful garden This is not an easy place to rate as there is a big gap between the facilities and the service. It is a very cute place, with striking attention to detail which goes to Stephen and Jacqui's credit. Every room has everything you could possibly wish for, including a well stocked minibar, well appointed bathroom, some books, magazines, and even some first aid kit! The house is in a beautiful garden which grows gorgeous roses that you will see in the room and throughout the house. All this could only be achieved under Stephen's watchful eye clearly but his manner, as many reviews suggest on all travel websites, isn't the most easy-going or welcoming. We were absolutely sure of his good intentions and aim to provide the best information, but it was done in a very forceful manner that could have made it tiring at times. When we arrived, there was no warm welcome - we first got told off for arriving late (9pm - even though we sent an email), then we got told off for parking the car on the road, then for checking in only for one night. When we got to the room we were given an excessively detailed overview of the room (we do know how to open the fridge, what slippers look like and how to use a shower). We were also told to make sure we dry all the area around the shower if we do happen to splash some water around.... We took it with a sense of humour as we understood it was all done out of care and attention to detail but it can be tiresome to be always lectured as a guest. ##### N.E. ### 8/10 Good #### Trevor, South Wales Dec 5, 2013 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Arriving on a wet night we received a warm welcome.
