Hiddenhus

"What a fantastic we’ve had staying in this beautiful cottage - the best we’ve ever stayed in & there have been many!

Beautiful setting, gorgeous and tranquil garden & superbly appointed immaculate accommodation.

All the little extras and details have made this a very special holiday including the use of the relaxing hot tub in the evenings!

The superb walking guides & information have been very well used and have helped us make the most of this stunning area.

We will definitely return & recommend Hiddenhus to our family & friends."

“Had another amazing stay at Hiddenhus. We love it here. Everything is just perfect, a home from home with a surprise addition of a new hot tub. We will be back “

“ We have had a great week in this fabulous house. We love everything about it - head and shoulders above most other holiday rentals we have ever stayed in. It was brilliant to have such comprehensive guides and personal recommendations for walks and places to visit. Already planning our return to Hiddenhus. “

“Wow ! What an amazing place to stay! We have had a wonderful week in Hiddenhus, what an idyllic hideaway, the location, the house, the garden and fabulous interior just perfect! To add to this, the owners were the best hosts ever, they ensured our comfort and safety, but left us to our own devices . We’ve self catered for years and every now and then you come across perfection. Perfect ! We would definitely return."

“ Our 3rd stay at Hiddenhus and just as wonderful. Relaxing comfortable & peaceful. “

"What an amazing cottage in a fantastic location! My Husband and myself have stayed in many cottages all over the UK during our 40 years of marriage but I must say that Hiddenhus is one of the best. The attention to detail in both the decor, furnishings and equipment cannot be faulted. Thank you. I am sure we will be returning.“

"We had a great week at Hiddenhus and felt ‘at home’ straight away.

The cottage was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. It was in a good location for visiting several place in the surrounding area. 

The garden was beautiful and was a pleasure use.

The owners were very welcoming and helpful and the welcome pack on arrival was much appreciated.

As for Crabtree & Crabtree, perfect as always, booking holidays with you is a pleasure and the information needed is always received. Thank you."

“We've had a wonderful stay here at Hiddenhus. We know this area very well and have stayed in some beautiful accommodation but this is by far the best!
Attention to detail has been noted, loved and very much admired. The garden is stunning and it’s obviously been such a labour of love. All this and poetry books too - bliss!"

"The Hiddenhus is perfect! As well as being both stylish and comfortable, there is a wonderful attention to detail both inside and out. The information on the local area is the best, and most extensive, of any holiday property we’ve visited. We’re already looking forward to our next stay!"

“An amazing place to stay. Beautiful garden to enjoy and all the home comforts you need for a relaxing week away from it all. A fantastic base to explore the coast, north and south. Mixed weather, but a few blankets and the fire pit meant we could still make the most of the garden. Couldn’t have asked for more. We will certainly be back if we make the journey to the Northeast again.”

“The cottage was a perfect place to wake up in and catch the beautiful light on the hills and to cosy up in the evening by the log burner. Beautifully laid out gardens to sit and have a late afternoon cup of tea watching the birds feast. Everything thoughtfully done. Difficult to mention a favourite trip as every new day brought a new one.”

“Wow, what an adventure it has been. Arriving in Storm Arwen and losing power within half an hour of landing...! Though we remained that way until Monday, the Hiddenhus, and Mark and Sandra kept us feeling warm and cosy, safe and cared for. A restful haven, we can’t wait to return.”

"Baby’s first holiday and what a lovely time we had! The cottage was so cosy, and everything was immaculate."

"Amazing! Amazing! Amazing!!! Best self-catering accommodation we have stayed in. Well equipped to a high standard and a great base to explore the area. The information provided was outstanding. Thank you for making our holiday extremely enjoyable - everything was perfect. We look forward to coming back again."

"What a lovely cottage in a delightful location. We are really impressed with the high standards of equipment, furnishings and cleanliness. We have enjoyed a lovely week here and look forward to hopefully returning in the future."

"Our week at Hiddenhus has been just what the doctor ordered. We are sad to leave but feel “healed” - all fixed and ready to face whatever! Maybe it was the beautiful, comfortable cottage?! Or the enchanting walled garden?! Possibly the view of the hills?! Yes, all these have worked wonders for us, but the best thing about our week here has been the genuine feeling that the owners are really welcoming you to feel at home and to have the perfect stay. The attention to all the little details has been touching - from the binoculars to the welcome pack, to the superb information folder complete with walks to take - it has all been done with such kindness. Thank you."

"We have had a lovely week in your super cottage, thank you. The cottage is one of the best we have stayed in, very comfortable with everything you need for a good holiday. The information on places to visit and walks have proved very helpful, as although we have been to Northumberland many times, we have found lots of new places to visit. We have every intention of returning to explore some more."

"Many thanks for an excellent stay in your lovely 'Hiddenhus'. The welcome pack was much appreciated as well as the many household items that are provided, which are very thoughtful and make the stay so pleasant. Thank you for a beautifully clean Hus - felt Covid safe and very comfortable. Hope we can return soon."

"We love Hiddenhus! It is beautifully designed and equipped with absolutely everything you might need. Thank you for all the welcoming goodies, much appreciated. There is so much to see and do, a week simply isn’t long enough so we will have to come back! Our highlight was the St Abbs walk, absolutely stunning and topped off with a delicious lunch in the harbour. Thank you!"

"We have had a most enjoyable stay at this beautiful cottage with it’s delightful well tended garden. The owners are perfect hosts, who have thought about everything to make guests feel special, with added touches of luxury. We would love to return in the near future."

"Wow!! What an amazing week at Hiddenhus! The most beautiful cottage and gardens, the attention to detail and everything is so well thought out. Love all the little extras. We didn’t want to go home! Thank you for providing us with such an amazing holiday."

"Had the most amazing week at Hiddenhus just outside Berwick Upon Tweed. We loved the accommodation, spacious for 2 people, set in its own grounds with beautiful gardens. We especially liked the large kitchen as we take our own food and drinks with us and there was lots of space for everything. Other highlights was the large comfortable living area and bedroom."

"Hiddenhus was as near perfect a holiday retreat as we could hope to find. The ambience, the furnishings, the information packs, the welcome - just what we needed! We felt ‘at home’, cared for, but never ‘watched’. Our hosts were exemplary. We especially enjoyed our boat trip to Inner Farne (amazing to be so close to puffins), the gardens at Paxton House, and a solitary wander and paddle at Cheswick Sands. We have every intention to return."

"We have just spent a fantastic week at Hiddenhus in Northumberland. Hiddenhus is a real 'hidden gem'. It has been loving restored by the owners, who must be some of the very best hosts around. They have produced a book of photos showing the ruined bothy they started with, all the work undertaken right up to the finished cottage. They have taken so much care with every detail and their folders of walks, places of interest, events and eateries are the best I have ever seen. They have included photos of the walks and even photocopied maps so guests can take them with them. The cottage is a lovely warm and comfortable haven to return to after a day out. Then of course there is the amazing wood fired hot tub to enjoy in the evening. Stargazing from it's warmth was fabulous. With Hiddenhus being in the dark skies area the sky at night is really something to behold. Hiddenhus is definitely a wonderful home from home and we are already planning when we can return.  Of course Northumberland has so many beautiful beaches to visit, our favourites being Bamburgh and Cocklawburn, but there are other places of interest too. Etal has a lovely walk down by the river and Lindisfarne always feels like an adventure. Will the tide be out, how long can we stay! Further afield is the amazing National Museum of Flight at North Berwick. Here you can not only see planes close up but you can actually go on board Concorde. In addition the films and information on the social history of this aerodrome during the 2 world wars is brilliant."

"Hi, thanks for your email. We have had a wonderful stay at Hiddenhus. The accommodation is amazing and probably one of best we have stayed in! We have loved coming back and relaxing here, it's so peaceful. Mark and Sandra have been lovely and left us to enjoy our holiday but we knew we could contact if needed. There is everything you could need supplied in the house and the information folders are very helpful in terms of where to eat and walks etc. It's a great idea to have extra copies of maps that guests can take with them. The garden too is gorgeous. We haven't even had to travel far on our days out and have found plenty to keep us busy locally! We have enjoyed trips to Paxton, Ford and Etal, Chain bridge Honey Farm, Coldingham, Eyemouth, as well as beaches such as Spittall and Cheswick."

Even had a day at the cinema in The Maltings with a lovely lunch there which we booked beforehand and would highly recommend.  That in itself was a lovely day as we haven't been in a cinema since pre-Covid!  Was a lovely building with lots of character as we are used to a Vue cinema with ten screens etc !!

Berwick itself also has plenty places to walk and we have enjoyed several days just walking along river, parks and quayside etc.

We would love to return in the summer perhaps, although we have been extremely lucky with the weather the whole fortnight really.
