We've been staying here in The Hyde for our first wedding anniversary and it's wonderful. We stay in lots of similar places and this is one of the nicest cabins we've ever stayed in. From the kitchen layout, to the fireplace grill top to the little candle holders by the hot tub the layout has been really well thought out so it feels spacious and relaxing. The setting is wonderful, really recommend the short walk up to the bench in the top field. The Hyde feels very private and peaceful and the photos online didn't do the views or setting justice. Really recommend the breakfast hamper and buying the eggs from the honesty box, you can tell they are from happy hens! Great veggie options in the hamper and surprisingly well stocked veggie range in the villaye shop. Lauren and Nick have been lovely hosts, checking in by text and there for anything we need but leaving us to relax and enjoy the space ourselves. Lovely base to explore the area, or just relax and enjoy where you are.

We loved our stay at the Skep. Nick and Lauren were friendly and helpful and kept in touch before and during our stay. The cabin was beautiful and had everything we needed, and lots of thoughtful touches. The views were great; it was amazing to see the stars overhead through the window above the very comfortable bed. Even the weather was kind so we could enjoy the fire pit in the evening after a day's exploring, and then come into the cosy cabin kept warm by the brilliant log-burner. We'd thoroughly recommend the Hiveaway to anyone looking for a few days away from TV and wifi (although the phone signal was better than we have at home!). Thank you Nick and Lauren for providing such an opportunity.

A lovely location for some quite and peaceful timeout. The place is very well equipped with lots of love in the details. The hot tub and the fire place are the icing on the cake. Close to the location are some stores and nice places to eat out in case you don't want to use the cute kitchen. Lauren and Nick provide their guests with many information about the place and the area around and were available by phone to answer any questions coming up. Beaches are about 20 min. by car and there are lovely coastal hiking trails. Just plan to also walk all the way back since there might be no bus connections.Overall we had a fantastic time.

What a beautiful location, I don’t think I’ve ever relaxed so quickly on a break before. Laura & Nick were very helpful their cabin was amazing with everything provided, the hot tub was positioned perfectly to look out over the breathtaking views & to watch the sun go down. I highly recommend this place if you’re wanting to relax.

The Hiveaway was everything we hoped for when we booked our spring getaway. The Skep cabin we stayed in was beautifully designed with plenty of space to relax and unwind. The location was exactly what we wanted, lots of peace and quiet but with easy access to the coast and other points of interest.Lauren and Nick were excellent hosts, responding immediately to any requests we had. They were both lovely to speak to when we bumped into them during our visit, but were happy to leave us to our own devices for the duration of our stay.Highly recommend going with the breakfast hamper - delicious and lasted us several days!

What a lovely place! If you want a peaceful break in a beautiful area then you can’t do much better than this. Our stay in The Hyde was wonderful - the bed was so comfy, the kitchen had everything we needed to cook with and we got to watch the sun set from the fire pit and hot tub!The weather was sunny when we visited but I’d be just as happy snuggled by the wood burning stove if it wasn’t. The Hude is so private so it felt like it really was just us, though Lauren and Nick were only a phone call/text away.The recommendations they left were great too!The shower deserves a whole paragraph. So good - I want one just like that at home!(If you’re coming in summer and get hay fever, just be aware to bring tablets - you are surrounded by gorgeous meadows. Then you’ll be fine)

A delightful location for this ‘away from it all’ accommodation.The Skep was just as described with everything we needed for a three night stay. The bed was king sized and very comfortable. The layout is cleverly designed and the use of reclaimed materials for the interior furnishings add to it’s charm.The Daffodil Pub is a short walk away and offers a great food and drink several days a week.I would highly recommend The Hiveaway.

We have had the most incredible time at The Hiveaway! We stayed for 3 nights In the Skep and are already planning when we can go again! It's a beautifully crafted space with so many well thought out details! The views are stunning to wake up to, the privacy you feel is amazing and it truly felt like a little sanctuary! We loved exploring the area but equally loved just getting back to spend time at The hiveaway as it was just so magical!Thank you Lauren and Nick!

Absolutely lovely stay!We stayed at the Skep for three nights, it’s the perfect place to stay for a little getaway from the world - impeccably clean, lovely hosts and just an all round wonderful stay.There’s cooking facilities, a fridge, hob kettle - anything you could really need.We used the outdoor fire pit for s’mores, the hot tub was also fantastic.We’ve said the bed was one of the comfiest we’ve ever stayed in, and the window above the bed made for perfect star gazing.We honestly felt like we were in another world, it was wonderful and would absolutely stay again.

Simply stunning - we went for a sister vacation and it completely surpassed all of our expectations! The hosts have really thought of everything: there's fairy lights to guide you to the cabin when it's dark, wheelbarrows for your luggage, comfy robes to swan about it, and an honesty box to stock up on extra wood/firelighters/fresh eggs. The cabin instructions were sent in advance and told us exactly what was provided/what we needed to bring, the directions were easy-to-follow, and from the moment we arrived we could relax as everything had been taken care of.The Skep is utterly gorgeous and a great size: the cabin is private, peaceful, and tucked away at the top of a lovely little woodland walk. The bed is ridiculously comfy and the view out of the large folding doors is just beautiful. The rainfall shower has plenty of hot water, the log burner heats the cabin up quickly, and the gas oven/hob are perfect for making proper meals. There's USB sockets for your phones and a single low-wattage plug socket (so no hair dryers, but ideal for a laptop charger). There's also plenty of teas (decaf, regular, mint), instant and cafetiere coffee, and the hosts provided our preferred choice of milk too.The creme-de-la-creme is the wood-fired hot tub: it uses fresh spring water and no nasty chemicals so you need to empty/refill it after each use, but this is easy to do and makes the experience so much more enjoyable knowing you're not bathing in nasties! It takes up to 4 hours to fill/heat and uses approx. 2 bags of logs each time, but once it's heated up it stays hot for ages. They kindly prep the fire for your first use and you can pre-buy more logs before your visit, or just stroll down to the parking area and make use of the honesty box there.The site location is ideal for getting away from everything and if you love the seaside there's an abundance of stunning beaches just a 25-35 minute drive away. We'd recommend Poppit Sands (definitely get brunch at Crwst whilst you're there), Penbryn (especially at sunset), and Llangrannog if you want good waves for bodyboarding/surfing and fresh pizza on the beach.Thank you Lauren & Nick for a truly luxurious and relaxing vacation - we'll be recommending you to anyone who's heading to Wales, and we'll 100% be trying the Hyde next time we're in Ceredigion!
