Kip Hideaways Anmeldelser 343

Such a great few days and the booking process and communications were all easy and hassle free. The accommodation was very reasonable and so comfortable with everything we needed. A fantastic experience overall.

We loved kudhva. The danish cabin is beautifully designed, nestled in deep woodland and surrounded with birdsong and the flow of the stream. We loved having wood fires on the deck in the evenings. The staff were incredibly generous and thoughtful. A wonderful spot to decompress.

This has to be one of the best places we've stayed in. Tastefully decorated, a lived in space with authenticity and character. Unlike some stays, this wonderful house had the feeling of being well loved and a family home, not stale and corporate.

An excellent experience. Would recommend and use again.

We had the most amazing stay, the cabin was clean, stylish, homely a solid 10/10 I cannot wait to go black again

River Cottage is an idyllic gem of property that is furnished to a very high standard. The hosts Susie and Richie have discerning taste and this is clearly evident throughout. You could comfortably or stay for long breaks as he kitchen is so well-equipped.
As for the garden…stunning. We loved sitting and listening to the river and wildlife.
We highly recommend visiting Powys Castle and Gardens, Lake Vrnwy and the Greenhouse Cafe and nurseries.
We thank Susie for being so responsive answering all our queries promptly.

We got to Rapids on Wed this week for our booking (around 5 pm) and all seemed fine apart from the near vertical steps up to the bedrooms. These are described on your site as steep but they are MUCH worse than that. A challenge even for the able bodied - I am a personal trainer and yoga teacher! There are no photographs of the stairs on the site - for good reason!

After settling in for the evening, the heavens opened all day on Thursday rendering no wifi (1.47 mg) so no ability to make bookings for local attractions via internet or ability to stream programmes on the tv or in the "cinema room" (essentially an open tin shack full of insects and damp floor cushions) as internet connection too weak to cope with anything. Even trying to make wifi phone calls was practically impossible. There is zero phone coverage outside in the valley at all so we felt really cut off.

I called and messaged the owner Holly on Friday morning to report this issue as things did not improve with the weather. Initially she insisted that there was good coverage for internet via BT Business ("guaranteeing 50 mg") until I took some screen shots of download speeds using Ookla speed test. I still have this photo as evidence of this.

Holly messaged that BT would investigate within 24 hours but probably not have engineer out until Monday it being Friday morning. My husband has his own business so it is essential he has the ability to communicate with his team if necessary. Aside from this, how are we meant to book local attractions and restaurants etc if the internet is either too slow or non-existent and impossible to make calls?

Holly’s attitude immediately was defensive - insisting that they “paid for good levels of wifi and have a business contract with BT”. It was not until I insisted she did a speed test heself that she reluctantly agreed 1.47 mg was insufficient.

I don’t believe that The Rapids ever enjoys a decent internet service and this should be reflected on their website and on yours. We felt vulnerable as we were unable to make bookings or even watch t.v. which relies upon the ability to stream such services. Holly said that they have an agreement with the local hotel/pub to use their onsite internet if necessary so this would infer that there have been problems before surely?

There has been no real attempt to apologise from Holly, just a standard phrase “we cannot guarantee that the weather won’t affect these facilities”.

\We left at 10 am on Friday 13th (how appropriate) and I informed the owners en route back to Surrey that we had tidied and locked up appropriately.

An altogether disappointing experience and shocking response from the owners. No offers of refund or re-booking. Just defensive remarks.

As is the case with all of these companies who manage"luxury"accommodation belonging to private owners (including Boutique Retreats et al) they offer no come back or assistance at all to the clients who pay handsomely to use these facilities. It has been my experience with several such companies that they are there to serve and protect owners only.

We loved our stay at Croft Cabin. It was super easy to book via the website and the owners were then extremely helpful with information and recommendations. The cabin is beautiful and is set in stunning surroundings with plenty of local walks for us and our dog. Would highly recommend!

Lovely place and location. Process for notifying entry code and address was unreliable.

The experience at Paradise farm was something our family will talk about for years to come . Gem and Tom should be immensely proud of what they have created in such a small space of time - the cider store was immaculate. The aesthetic was amazing and I almost didn’t want to write this review as we want to keep it our secret . The generosity of the hosts and even their wider family was so warming and our children never wanted to leave . We miss Prada and plucky (pigs ) and hope to see them again soon .

'Betsy' is such a unique hideaway in a stunning location. The American Airstream caravan is in great condition and well looked after. Great sleep and a strong, hot shower. There's also a record player and a selection of albums!

It's so easy to book via Kip. The selection of cottages, eco-cabins, bothys etc make an escape from the city to delightful rural areas just so easy. Just returned from Fox Earth, an immaculately idyllic and clean cottage in Dorset where we enjoyed the beautiful garden, birdsong and peace. It was so wonderful to just be there. To be present in the moment. On a rainy day we visited Thomas Hardy's house and birthplace and enjoyed a good pub dinner at an inn recommended by the host. A great, reviving break.

A perfect weekend getaway

My wife and I spent three nights at Bay House Studio to celebrate her birthday, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The space is beautifully designed, with first-class amenities and thoughtful touches throughout. Everything felt incredibly generous and well-considered — from the welcome details to the excellent local recommendations for food and things to do.

While it would be a fantastic place for a family holiday, it was also an ideal romantic escape for the two of us. We left feeling relaxed, refreshed, and already talking about when we can come back. Highly recommended.

Everything was perfect.The apartment was beautifully and lovingly furnished. It had everything you need and more! The kitchen in particular was well equipped. We especially liked the gintonic provided on arrival. The washer/dryer and iron were also great. It even had an adapter for our German plugs! And then: The view of the harbor! The piano! The church window! The beautiful showers! The well-chosen care products! The coffee table books!
We will be back!

Saba Bach and family

Beautiful cabin in a picturesque surrounding

Amazing Hut that's perfectly designed for comfort with a view of Loch Ruskie. The scenery is beautiful and you have it almost all to yourself!

We had the most wonderful stay at this beautiful cabin tucked away in the peaceful countryside of Devon. Surrounded by nature and far from any city noise, it was the perfect place to truly relax and unwind.
You can clearly see the love and care the owners have put into every detail of the cabin — it’s cozy, charming, and incredibly well looked after.
The owners were absolutely lovely — friendly, thoughtful, and always happy to help with anything we needed. Their hospitality made our stay even more special.
We left feeling completely recharged and refreshed. If you’re looking for a tranquil getaway in nature, this is the place.

We had a wonderful holiday. Kip’s website is great and booking was straightforward and friendly. The house and location were incredible. A stunning, luxurious and beautiful home which we couldn’t have loved more, am in awe of the owners impeccable taste. Perfect for a multi generational stay - highly recommended

Gorgeous farmhouse in a beautiful peaceful setting.

Faultless. The cabin is so beautifully designed, comfortable and had everything i could possibly need... and that window! It makes you feel like you have all the world to yourself. Its so private and special, stunning surroundings, great walks... Thank you, couldn't have asked for more... really can't wait to come back...
