The Hideout

We loved our 2 night stay here.

A warm welcome felt relaxed straight away. Great location so close to the sea. A lovely garden to relax in after long walks along the coast. Ozzie our dog was also very happy. Will definitely be going back.

We enjoyed our stay at The Hideout immensely.

It was perfect for what we wanted and lots of lovely walks for our dog. The facilities worked well for us although we found the shower to be a bit of a challenge. The garden was lovely to spend time in and completely secure for the dog. We loved the coastline at Selsey and are hoping we will be able to stay at The Hideout again next year.

A great find really good location beside sea lovely cottage quirky and personal.

Everything provided with great attention to detail and wonderfully quiet and relaxing to recharge batteries. A super location without all the crowds that you find along the coast. An absolute Gem

Lovely bolthole by the sea!

Small but perfectly formed. Fell asleep to the sound of the waves and woke to the seagulls calling. Great for coastal walks.

The Hideout is a fantastic place for a couple and small dog for a short break.

It has everything you need in a single room with and on suite bathroom. We loved the fact that we could walk straight out on to the common playfield and then on to the beach. Our little dog loved it being off lead. We are already planning another break at a later date. We found the Hideout very clean and tidy and lacking for little. We cannot recommend the Hideout more highly. 5 Star ++

This holiday cottage is situated in an ideal spot right on the seafront.

Our cocker spaniel absolutely loved his walks along the seafront the garden was ideal. It was a lovely touch with the complimentary bottle of wine and Biscuits for the dog. Unfortunately we could not get the hot water for the shower to work that was our only gripe.

Our second stay at The Hideout, and definately not our last, such a nice place, long walks with our English Bulkdog Bertie, who loves the beach Short drives to Chichester and Portsmouth for a bit of shopping and sightseeing, fish & chips on Friday night from Paddys Place, and Sunday dinner in a lovely pub in Chichester Highly recomnend The Hideout for a relaxing getaway, with everything you need, have not slept so well in Months

Lovely little Gem of a place.

Compact and bijou but had everything we needed. Loved the courtyard garden that was secure so i could let the dog out as needed. Could hear the sea when sitting in the garden. Carol was so lovely and helpful. Nice touches including the Tea, Coffee and doggie treats. Location is great, situated at the end of the green and on the sea. Great for beach walks every day although it is very stoney and the locals are friendly. Great pub at the Lifeboat inn and local chippy too.

This was our second stay here and again we loved it .

My favourite holiday outside of the UK is Turkey. This is definitely my favourite UK holiday accommodation. We can't wait to be there again.

What a wonderful cosy place to stay.

We spent 4 nights at The Hideout and enjoyed everyone of them! Location is fabulous, right on the edge of the beach. We got to see wonderful sunsets and we got up early to see the sunrise too. The owners were away when we stayed but kept in touch which was lovely. Bed was comfy and plenty of towels provided. There was even milk and wine in the fridge! Would recommend and would book again.

We had a lovely week at the Hideout.

The accommodation was a bit smaller than we thought from looking at the pictures online, but that wasn't a problem. Well kitted out and lovely and warm for a November break. The situation was great, right by the sea and the area was very dog friendly. Probably a little bit more care needed with cleaning walls and skirting and also a dripping tap, hence four stars for a couple of categories. No big impact on our holiday. The owner was very friendly and helpful. We would recommend the property.

It was a pleasure to stay at the Hideout.

The facilities were excellent and we will definitely recommend this all our family and friends. It was just what we needed comfy cosy and lovely and quiet, and only a very very short walk to the beach. Carol is a great host and even sent us a message before we arrived which was very thoughtful It was lovely to meet her and Steve they made us feel very welcome, we would love to stay there again Heather and Danny

From the initial booking to arriving at The Hideout, everything was excellent, communication spot on, Carol our host was so helpful, texts letting us know where everything was, and that if we needed anything to call or text was really appreciated.

The Hideout is absolutely gorgeous, a bolthole away from the busy work life, exactly what we wanted, so many little touches that made our stay special, long walks on the beach everyday with Bertie our English Bulldog, which he loved. The Hideout is in an excellent location for visiting Chichester, Portsmouth, Arundel, we will be coming back for Spring & Summer and cannot wait, thank you Carol, you have a special place.

The Hideout was very comfortable and as described.

The owner was away the week I stayed but was in contact to make sure everything was ok. An air fryer would be a good addition but I managed fine.

A real gem, if you are looking for proximity to the beach.

The Hideout is a little Tardis, everything you can possibly need in a tiny setting. It is tastefully and cleanly presented, and the outside area is secure for dogs. The sunset on the beach was spectacular, and can be observed from a bench on the green beside the Hideout. If you are looking for a peaceful setting in which to unwind, then it is perfect for a few days away. My dog and I loved it, and hope to return next year.

Another fab stay at The Hideout.

This is visit number 3 and the accommodation was, as ever, clean and tidy, the bed super comfortable and the garden perfect to sit and chill despite the very changeable weather. A jug of beautiful flowers, bowl of mixed fruit, plus wine and milk in the fridge were a lovely welcome. It was quite exhilarating being on the beach during the stormy weather, I got some great crashing wave photos! One day I got soaked at Windmill Beach but that was all part of the fun! I just love the craft shop there next to the Windmill and bought some lovely items by local artisans. Another wild and windy (but sunny) day I walked along East Beach as far as Park Copse and back, stopping at the Lifeboat Station on the way back. The lovely ladies there are very knowledgeable and I learned a lot about the boats and RNLI in general, and of course, purchased some items to support their cause. I'm already looking ahead to next year's stay!

Lovely cottage, amazing location, we had a great stay!

We stayed here for several days with our dog and what a fabulous location.

We met Carol and her husband on our first day and they were really nice and friendly. There were lovely personal touches in the property as well as the tea, coffee, milk, wine & not forgetting the dog biscuits. The property is right next to the beach so we had some lovely walks along there. They have prepared a book of the local area which includes lots of useful information including places to eat, visit etc. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and highly recommend it.

A beautiful property in a fabulous location right on the edge of the Bill.

Carol was on hand if needed but never intrusive. The garden of the property was a great asset and allowed us to enjoy the lovely weather and quiet spot. Selsey is a hidden gem with great walks and so very peaceful.

Just back from our first stay at the Hideout and it won’t be our last.

Such a fantastic place for a short break. Wonderful location and the hosts have thought of absolutely everything to make it comfortable. Lovely little touches like tea, coffee, sugar and even fresh milk. There was a little gift for our dog Stan as it was his first holiday and a lovely bottle of wine chilling upon our arrival. The location is so perfect for beach lovers, dog walkers and the safe private garden is well equipped too, being a perfect sun trap when the weather is good. Can’t recommend The Hideout enough and the local areas are great to explore. Simply perfect short break

We've stayed at the Hideout several times and would highly recommend it to friends and family.

Everything you could need is provided and pubs and shops are close too. The Hideout has the beach and the green right on the doorstep for dog owners to enjoy walks with their furry companions. We had a wonderful, relaxing time.

Lovely little Hideaway!

All you need there for a relaxing break: very clean, comfy bed, sun-trap patio and nice location to beach, pubs, shop and dog walks. Carol the owner was very attentive and helpful. Nice touch with the milk and wine welcome pack. I would definitely recommend and look forward to staying there again.

We enjoyed our stay it was perfect for us and our dog having the beach so close was lovely.

We loved this little slice of seaside living; perfect for a short stay with a dog.

The space was decorated in a shabby chic style which was relaxing and not dauntingly pristine to accommodate our female husky. The courtyard was ideal for relaxing and the loungers a thoughtful addition. A park and picturesque seaside walks right outside the door were just what we had hoped for. The owners went the extra mile to leave us a congratulatory card, fizz and a balloon for our Golden Wedding Anniversary; just the icing on the cake. We couldn’t have asked for more, fantastic hosts.

It looks like a quaint little beachouse but WOW what a lovely quaint little beachhouse it is (and don't be alarmed, it isn't that little).

It was home to my husband, 2 year old Labrador and me for a long weekend and we felt so much at home from the moment we walked through the door. Everything we could have needed was catered for and the owner was only a phone call away if we needed anything else. We were lucky to have nice weather so were able to enjoy the lovely courtyard garden aswell as the short hop to the beach. Such a lovely place with great surroundings, it was hard to leave but we will surely be back when time & availability allows. THANK YOU.

A delightful annex and courtyard.

Carol made me very welcome and homely. Wonderful relaxing week...Thankyou

Excellent stay and very dog friendly

I stayed at The Hideout, Selsey where hosts Carol and Stephen made me so welcome I felt one of the family.

The entrance is to private sun trap Patio with table and chairs, and you really can hear the sea.The chalet was spotlessly clean and bright with everything I could need, including complementary bottle of wine! Just 50 yards to the beach and paved and shingle paths East to the RNLI and Jennies Shell fish stall-very tasty. West to High Street and beyond. Only regret-leaving! will be back.

What an absolutely fabulous hidden secret!

! My pup and I came to this beautiful little Hideout for a much needed break. From start to finish we were well looked after. The Hideout was spotlessly clean and tidy with everything easy to find and the best bit- LOADS OF TOILET ROLL

Small but perfectly maintained.

Extremely clean which is difficult with the rustic wood theme. A marvellous setting if you like the sea. Couldn’t get any closer! Carol a delight and perfect hostess.

Perfect, comfortable, clean, beautifully decorated.

Great location. All you need & more.

Amazing place to stay and so comfortable.

Lovely kind friendly lady with brilliant communication, who was always on hand if needed. I cannot recommend highly enough. Absolutely the best holiday we have ever had.

Carol was absolutely lovely.

We did not meet in person, but she was kind and helpful. Prepared the room beautifully with candles and wine for our arrival. She also very kindly helped to change our date when I made a mistake on the booking. Thank you for having us!

Lovely little bolt hole tucked away in a shealtered spot which we needed as storm Bert arrived.

The accommodation was great well equipped and warm and cozy.

Lovely little "hide-out" in a great location - if it were any closer to the beach you'd get very wet!

Carol the host was lovely and very helpful. Had a lovely 3 night stay and I think my dog loved it as much as I did.

This is beautiful accommodation, great location, superbly maintained with lots of thoughtful touches.

Everything was provided from bathroom products and helpful suggestions for local activities, to beach towels and torches for nighttime exploring. Warm, stylish and comfortable inside, perhaps a little smaller than we expected, but a secure and relaxing outdoor area. We hope to come back.

The expression "stones throw from the beach" must have been written with this property in mind.

It's beachfront location is wonderful, within a couple of miles of every conceivable amenity and attraction. Quiet and underdeveloped, where the susurration of the waves and peaceful locale can restore the soul. Thoughtful design touches abound and an eclectic collection of knick knacks and wall art add to the overall beach hut theme. The photobook on arrival is a very novel and uber stylish way of communicating all the information you are likely to need - certainly streets above the usual dog eared A4 folder with a couple of local leaflets of things to do (which are legion). Not enjoyed a holiday this much in years and the weather could not spoil it. Thank you to my host for being so considerate and helpful and allowing us to stay in such a terrific property. Recommend to everyone. 6 stars.

Another wonderful week at The Hideout.

As before, the accommodation was top notch, super comfy bed, lovely private garden and about 100 steps to the beach! One tiny problem with a light bulb was fixed the same day as mentioned to Carol. Weather was great, locals all very friendly and the beaches were virtually empty! I cannot recommend this delightful holiday accommodation and area so I will absolutely return again and again (until I can persuade my other half to move to Selsey Bill!!). Thank you thank you.

The perfect stay!

Couldn’t fault the Hideout. It had everything you need plus lots of additional extras which were a lovely touch. The property owner couldn’t do enough to help if we needed anything. Would highly recommend the Hideout!

We loved our stay!

A beautiful Floridian beach vibe decor with the waves practically on the doorstep. The courtyard garden is secure and perfect for your fur babies and a sun trap for the adults. The green opposite makes the perfect playground, beautiful walks on the beach front, especially at low tide. The owners were so friendly and welcoming and the wine in the fridge on arrival was awesome! They also told us some local places to visit which were lovely. Thank you for making our stay a great experience.

We had a 3 night break at the hideout.

. what a lovely private place it is. Located right by the beach.... Great for walks... Plenty of places to eat. We were allowed to book in slightly earlier which was great.. we were immediately met by Carol the host, lovely lady. The accomodation is equipped with all you could need. Highly recommend a stay here.

We had a fantastic week at the Hideout thank you.

The property was exactly as described but also had many extras with lots of thought clearly put in to making it feel like home for home. Carol and Steve were fantastic hosts who very kindly let us have a late check out on our final day which was lovely as we did not want the holiday to end. We would highly recommend the Hideout for its facilities and home comforts, its proximity to the beach and the warmth of the welcome!

A lovely bolthole, very well presented, fabulous location right on the coast, very thoughtful and helpful hosts

We had an amazingly peaceful and restful five days at the Hideout.

A wonderful location right next to the beach and the village green: our dog loved both! The accommodation is very comfortable and has everything you could need. The hosts are lovely people. Thank you so much, Carol and Steve x

We loved staying at The Hideout.

A perfect retreat from the hustle and bustle of life. A wonderful location right next to the village green and the beach. The Hideout was well equipped and comfortable with an enclosed outdoor area perfect for relaxing in the sunshine, listening to the waves and smelling the sea air. Inside the accommodation had everything we needed and Carol, the owner is a very welcoming and helpful host.

What an absolute gem!

I was in need of a recharge by the coast and found this place which looked perfect for my dog and I. To be so close to the sea was just amazing. At low tide in the morning and evening I could take just a few steps from The Hideout and be out walking my dog along a glorious sandy beach with hardly anyone but a few other locals walking their dogs in sight. I enjoyed a beautiful sunset with the beach to myself on the Saturday night. Loved listening to the waves when I relaxed in the garden to give my dog a rest from all the walking. It's a little suntrap! The accommodation has everything you could need, is really comfortable, and Carol the host was so helpful whenever I had a question. The perfect place to relax, enjoy coastal walks and with really friendly locals. Highly recommend and I will be returning!

This was our first time staying here, and if you're looking for a 'Hideout', I can't rate this place highly enough.

Despite the owners being away, they messaged to see if we had everything we needed. It was my husbands 50th while we were there, and I requested a couple of balloons to be in the room when we got there. What we infact got, was balloons, a birthday cake, box of chocs and 2 bottles of wine. The owners went above and beyond. Locals are really friendly and some even stopped for a chat when I walked our dog. It really is a stunning area and 'The Hideout' is exactly that, a hideout away from everyone and everything. We will definitely be going back at some point in the future.

What a joy!

The property is absolutely delightful, beautifully presented, clean and every detail thought of. The hosts are lovely people and couldn’t have been more helpful and accommodating. Fantastic location by the sea and green with walks in either direction along the coast. We also visited East and West Wittering, Chichester Marina, Dell Quay and Pagham Harbour for some lovely walks and pubs with great food! The Hideout is a gorgeous little place to stay in a special area, would highly recommend:) Thank you so much, Carol and Steve x

We loved The Hideout and would definitely recommend it to a couple wanting a stay near the sea in Selsey.

Beautiful decor, clean and well equipped with everything we needed. The location is right next to the beach and only a 20 minute walk from the High Street with a number of bars, restaurants and shops. Complimentary milk, tea, coffee, biscuits and a bottle of wine were all much appreciated. Lots of guides and ideas for days out (and activities for days in if the weather is not so good). There's a lovely garden area which would be fantastic on a warm evening - unfortunately not warm enough for us to enjoy it! The only thing which was a little disappointing was that the shower was not very powerful, but otherwise we felt it was perfect.

Had a great stay at the Hideout !

All as advertised, accommodation very comfortable, great location with plenty to do and hosts thoughtful and charming. Roger

Lovely, cosy well equipped accommodation.

Very helpful and attentive owner. Super location right by the beach. Great stay.

A lovely little place to stay as you explore the beautiful areas around.

I am very much a "home girl" and can struggle to feel truly relaxed away from home but the "hideout" was very cosy and well thought out with everything I needed, relaxation was achieved and I didn't want to go home! That's about as high a star as you can get in my opinion ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

A great place to stay very comfortable and safe if you have a dog with lovely walks on the beach and great sounds from the sea making it a lovely relaxing stay with the owners always available if required can’t wait to come back

Owner Carole was very welcoming, she was kind enough to wash our dog car blanket as he had been unwell on the journey.

The Hideout was a perfect spot for the West beach, Sandy at low tide and dog friendly, and also for walks along to the Lifeboat etc, along to East beach where at the far end there are some interesting beach houses. There are plenty of flat walks to do and only a few miles to Chichester marina and the Witterings. It is a perfect place for a single or couple to have a short break, to feel cosy and safe, with a small sheltered courtyard with comfortable seating and is safely enclosed. Plenty of info provided in local food, walks, places. We will be very likely to return.

I stayed here with my small dog for a week.

The Hideout was everything I was hoping for. Compact, tastefully furnished, warm and dog friendly. The location is superb, right by the beach and handy green, ideal dog exercise area. The place has all the consumables you could wish for. A quiet peaceful haven.

We love the Hideout and have stayed many times.

What's not to love? The sea on the doorstep, a cosy studio with everything you could need, our fury friend can come too, welcoming and generous hosts that are there if you need, but otherwise let you relax and have your space. For us a home from home. Thank you x

Where do I begin?

The Hideout is one of those unique finds that you wish you could keep a secret, so it was there waiting just for you, anytime you wanted to go :). The property is simply gorgeous, with every attention to detail imaginable. It was perfect in location, decor, comfort, cleanliness and restfulness. The host was extremely friendly and contactable almost immediately. I am pretty much a full-time traveller and used to going to nice places. and this is way near the top.

A wonderful location and perfect for our short break away.

A beautiful space in a beautiful location with a selection of carefully curated contents to make your stay wonderful!

Warm and cosy regardless of weather.

For us a home from home. Fully equipped with everything you need. Super relaxing,Super friendly locals. Would highly recommend. Very romantic.

The Hideout is a tranquil little haven that is cosy and well kitted out.

We managed to cook some tasty meals, using the one pan method on the hob, not having an oven meant less washing up. Everyone we met while out walking was sociable, including the dogs. The Hideout is ideally situated for dog owners with a lovely green opposite and fantastic beach walks in both directions and walks on the sand when the tide is out. Our hosts, Carol and Steve, made sure we had everything we needed. It would have been a little easier if parking was available on site for unloading grocery shopping and general convenience but there was ample parking out by the green.

We stayed at The Hideout for a week and had an absolutely fabulous time, it is situated right next to the beach so lots of wonderful walks everyday.

The facilities at the property are great there’s nothing extra that you would need. The owner Carol was so helpful with any query’s we had… The area is great to explore and despite the very mixed weather we had whilst staying there it was the most relaxing break we’ve had in a long time….many thanks Dennis,Julie and Cooper

What a fantastic peaceful place - coming from London we could not believe how quiet it was - The Hideout is tucked away in a beautiful area of Selsey Bill yards from the beach.

Carol’s (the owner) attention to detail is unbelievable - from the well presented booklet explaining the area and all the normal items you would expect plus torches, vacuum flasks, fan, beach and deck chairs just about everything you would need and more. It is a gorgeous place to stay. Cannot recommend this lovely accommodation enough. Deserves more than 5 stars.

The property is perfect for 2 and the dog .

Well maintained and everything we needed was to hand. With a quirky seaside theme it really hits the spot setting the atmosphere for that break by the sea. The courtyard garden was a most restful place to sit with a brew or a beer and just listen to the sea only yards away. Our hosts had left us with detailed information of interesting things to do and places to visit. With the beach a stones throw away a morning swim or an anytime swim in the sea was most invigorating. We found the local's the most friendly bunch we have come across in a while, happy to share and inform on the beautiful peninsula. We would recommend this place for restful and relaxing stay where you can do as much or as little as you like.

lovely bijoux hideaway.

lovely owners who made us welcome. very near beach

Another wonderful stay at the cosy Hideout.

We love this little hideaway, so close to the sea and the beach, and the lovely studio has everything you could need. Welcoming and generous hosts Carol and Steve have thought of everything and nothing is too much trouble. There is a lovely private outdoor space perfect for summer, and you can hear the waves just the other side of the fence! We love that our fury friend is allowed to come too. A perfect holiday. Thank you x

A lovely friendly welcome from the hosts.

We had a little problem working the shower but again the hosts were very attentive. A truly relaxing break from my busy hustle and bustle city work life .. the perfect accommodation to relax and recharge with my furr baby. A fantastic location with a large playing field adjacent, for the early morning, evening run out, which leads directly onto the dog friendly beach. The local shops are about a 15min walk, with the lifeboat Inn a short walk along the front promenade for your afternoon stroll or early evening meal. We couldn't fault it .. just perfect

The accommodation was exactly as described and was very pretty, clean and exceptionally well equipped with lots of informative information.

The owners were friendly and made sure I had everything I needed. The whole experience of the area was enhanced by lovely weather. I would highly recommend the Hideout for a single person or couple looking for and escape with or without their 4 legged friend.

Perfect great little place to stay.

Loved i

Our second stay here at the hideout and once again a lovely relaxing peaceful break.

We are missing the sounds of the sea already and looking forward to visiting again. Thanks to Carol Steve and Mutley for making us feel welcome.

Wonderful property, great location, beautifully presented.

We have stayed a few times at the Hideout and every time is as wonderful as the time before.

We love it. A minute from the sea front, a compact and very comfortable apartment with everything you could possibly need, as well as generous and attentive hosts that are there if you need them but allow you space and privacy also. 5 star in every respect. Thank you, we can’t wait for our next visit!!

Lovely self contained accommodation with the sea in the doorstep you can hear the waves lapping as you go to sleep the owners were very helpful with good suggestions of what to do in the area and a nice bottle of wine to welcome you

The Hideout is a delightful place to stay and enjoy the beautiful Selsey Bill and surrounds.

Carol managed to fit all the home comforts into a small space with style and personality. We had a few hiccups on our stay but we feel this was more down to bad luck and circumstances than anything else. However, Carol dealt with this kindly and with understanding - a great measure of an excellent hostess.

Another wonderful stay at The Hideout!

Very cosy, everything we needed, the sea on the doorstep and our furry friend can come too! Carol and Steve have thought of everything, are very generous and there is always a warm welcome, thank you! We are already looking forward to our next trip!

We were looking for a quiet relaxing break by the sea and the Hideout didn’t disappoint.

Amazing location just steps from the sea. The property had some lovely touches and was very cosy. Carol made contact before our arrival and was on hand if we needed anything - but we didn’t because the Hideout was well equipped for what we needed. Perfect location if you’re a dog owner with a green just outside the property too. We would definitely return to this property again. Sharon, Paul & Rosy dog.

Carol was amazing and went above and beyond to make our stay so much more enjoyable.

Unfortunately weather was not on our side, but that didn’t stop us enjoying our stay. Would love to go back in summer and will definitely recommend The Hideout to family and friends.

It is a very nice property, very close to the sea.

The property is well maintained, very clean and inside you can find all you need. It was nice and worm even I've been there in January. It is a place to spend your holiday without any headache.

The Hideout is a charming place to escape.

It is located close to the beach, so is ideal for walks. All the things that you expect and more were provided by the friendly owners.

Lovely quiet location, nice views lovely walking tracks too 10 so far

Very well presented everything we needed and a few extras it was very comfortable and very friendly

It was exactly as described, could not have been better, even the bad weather did not spoil our brake plenty of places to go, and lovely beach walks between showers with our little jack Frankie The owner Carol made you feel right at home from the word go.

lovely place lovely owner

Another lovely week at The Hideout!

Always a warm and generous welcome from the hosts who are there if you need them but just allow you to make the space your own. The location, literally 1 minute stroll from Selsey Bill and the beach, is idyllic, you can hear the waves as you sleep at night. The studio accommodation is very comfortable with lots of thoughtful touches and is perfectly represented by the photos. It is great also to have a totally enclosed and private outdoor space for your furry friend. We will definitely be back, it feels like a home from home. Thank you :)

Fantastic location we had a very relaxing week.

We were made welcome by Steve and Carol,lovely hosts. There were lots of lovely walks and delicious local seafood.The hideout itself is very comfortable and cosy with everything provided. We would definitely recommend and would love to visit again.

Having never visited this part of the country I was pleased to find ‘The Hideout’.

What a gem. Ideal for myself and my four legged friend. The owners had provided a very explicit manual with information where to walk, places to visit and eat, which became my bible. I took endless photos and being a hobby artist will copy bringing back memories of an enjoyable week.The weather was perfect and I walked miles. The sunsets are amazing.Go stay at ‘The Hideout’. Thank you both Carol and Steve.

Carol and Steve were so welcoming and their Hideout is right next to a park on the beach front.

This was perfect for our stay with our puppy Pepper. We had a wonderful time, they catered for all our needs and more. We would/will book again. Lovely place, lovely accommodation and great hosts. Thank you xx

A superb small, but perfectly formed, hideaway located on the headland at Selsey.

I spent a magical week exploring the coastline directly outside the property and further afield - Bracklesham Bay/the Witterings are only a short drive away. I went further afield to Bognor and Worthing as well as into Chichester. It was quite heavenly being able to hear the waves crashing from inside The Hideout and I spent many hours photographing the enormous and quite magnificent skies! I met some very friendly locals who were always keen to stand and wax lyrical about living in Selsey. It was so lovely to be able to take one of the beach chairs, left for ones use by the property owners, with a blanket and a book and sit on the beach until it was too dark to see and not have to make the effort to make a long drive home just a 30 second walk back to the property! Carole was friendly and kept in touch by text as we kept missing each other in person until the last day! A lovely bottle of rosé and some milk and water was left in the fridge which was a nice touch. Top quality linens and towels with extra blankets and enormous beach towels available as well. One minor point I hadn't quite cottoned on to is that there is no oven, but good quality hob and microwave to use if you need to cook. All in all, I'd definitely go back for another week of beach heaven.

The hosts were super.

The hideout was lovely, we had everything we needed and more. The extra touches were unexpected but fab. The only criticism we have is when the weather is unsettled and you have a smoker there's nowhere to stand under outside the property. The other thing that could be a good idea is a stable door, so you can keep the door open on a hot night but keep your dog inside?? But on the whole we had a super stay. Thank you Carol and Steve for checking in on us throughout our stay xx

A gorgeous little studio residence ideal for shot breaks.

Owner made us very welcome and was really helpful. Lovely touches with the bottle of wine and milk, tea and coffee. Not forgetting the doggie biscuits!

A lovely place to stay both the accommodation and the location.

Real peace and quiet. The Hideout is very pretty and has many decorative and practical touches. The hosts are very welcoming and made our stay very comfortable. Thank you!

The property was a lot smaller than what it appeared to be in the photos.

A beautiful and peaceful place to stay, right next to the beach, you can literally hear the waves as you fall asleep at night.

The studio apartment is exactly as shown in the photos and the owners have thought of everything. There is a lovely outdoor private space for relaxing both day and evening which we really enjoyed. The Hideout certainly allows you to feel that you can leave the busy world behind and just relax. The bottle of wine, milk, tea/coffee etc was much appreciated. Thank you.

The Hideout was perfect, exactly as described in the write up.

It was immaculate and fully equipped with everything we needed. The beach was right outside, (perfect for an early morning swim) and the waves could be heard from the garden which was very private and so relaxing. Carol and Steve were so welcoming and such happy people, which is understandable living in such an idyllic place. I walked early every morning with my dog and often saw the sun rise, it is a very dog friendly place and walks did take a long time as everyone wanted to stop and talk. We had meals at the Lighthouse Inn and would recommend it, friendly staff, good food and a lovely garden. Another must is Paddy's Plaice, the fish and chips were delicious and recommended by all the locals. The beach near the Hideout is pebbles but there is also a lovely sandy beach in West Wittering (that allows dogs) that is a short drive away. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to relax and 'get away from it all.' A big thank you to Carol and Steve it was a brilliant holiday. Julie and Martin...and Bert.

The Hideout was beautiful.

Every item has been carefully selected and we did not want for anything. The location was great. We took our dog and it was perfect. As you leave the property there is a green for him to run around and 30 seconds later you are on the beach. The hosts were amazing and very attentive. I highly recommend The Hideout and we can’t wait to come back.

The Hideout was a lovely place to stay , very comfortable and clean with everything you could want.

Although it is small the quality and feel of the place is such that it did not matter, the enclosed garden was a nice space to sit out in the evening or to have breakfast. Selsey is very dog friendly with a big green next to the cottage for a game of ball and long walks along the beach which is totally unspoilt . We bought a prawn crab and lobster box from Potters along by the lifeboat station and enjoyed it with the lovely bottle of wine left for us by the owner Carol who was a lovely host. Would love to come back again soon.

We had a delightful short break at The Hideout.

Carol made us feel really welcome on our arrival and the accommodation was very clean and comfortable. Having a small dog with us it was ideally situated for lovely walks by the sea, plus its small enclosed garden for him to play was super. We would certainly book again.

Beautiful little place, ideal for a break away, very comfortable bed and all the facilities that you would need so clean and fresh, nice little garden with furniture and very secluded and safe for the dog.

We spent three nights and wish it were more. Carol (the owner) was very approachable and helpful, greeted us when we got there. Would definitely go back.

Perfect weekend, accommodation was lovely decorated with a shabby chic influence.

All you needed from deck chairs, beach towels, flask etc for a day on the beach which is on your door step. Quality bedding, towels and kitchen utilities. Host Carol very friendly and welcoming.

Highly recommend it was lovely.

Great hosts. The location is fabulous for both walking the dog along the beach and visiting locally.... truly a lovely place to stay.

We had such a lovely stay at the Hideout - the property was clean and lovely, and the location really is right next to the beach!

We took our little dog with us and he loved it as well. Easy to get to surrounding areas if you want to explore, and parking is easy. Thank you!!

Really lovely accommodation and very nicely done.

Brilliant concept, delivered with panache.

Looking forward to a return visit. Jeff and Jill

Hideout lovely and quite very privet just nice for 2 and a dog.

Garden secure. No telly but enjoyed listening to radio in the evening very relaxing.

Beautiful compact property in a good location.

Great communication from the owner before and during our stay. We enjoyed our stay and would return.

We booked the Hideout for a short break after our wedding and on arrival we were welcomed by Carol.

There was a bottle of champagne, a lovely wedding card, beautiful white roses, strawberries and milk in the fridge. Extremely thoughtful of the owners. The property is small but very well equipped, there is everything that you could want, with a lovely enclosed sea side garden. It is an ideal base to go walking and explore Selsey and the surrounding area. Would defiantly go again.

The cottage is comfortable, well equipped & very cosy.

Carol was so welcoming saying if I had any problems just let her know, thankfully no problems arose & I had a lovely stay, would definitely recommend The Hideout

We have just returned home from a weeks stay at The Hideout.

It was exactly as described in the advert. The Hideout is compact, fixtures and fittings are of a good quality. Suitable for two adults and a small dog. Maybe a small tv would be nice, just to have the option. The owners Carol and Steven are very friendly and helpful. Plenty of places to visit and eat. Overall an enjoyable stay and would recommend.

Linda and I had a lovely few days in the Hideout.

(The weather was great too). Stephen and Carol made us very welcome. Everything in this small holiday hideaway oozes quality. The detail is rather special and clearly great thought and care has gone into the whole place despite its small size. Spending extra on quality (like the excellent bed, quality cotton bedding, and quality towels etc) not only make very good business sense but it reflects respect and care for the guests. Stephen and Carol are obviously not running this little business just for money, but for some extra fulfilment in their own lives. Very well done! Steve and Linda Block

We were very disappointed with the size of the overall accommodation which is indeed extremely compact for two adults and a medium sized dog, the photos taken make it look a lot bigger.

The WiFi was not brilliant which for some people may not be a problem. Overall I believe it was expensive for what was actually offered but I do realise that this is my opinion and it may be different for others.

We had a really relaxing stay at The Hideout.

The property is exactly as shown in the photos. Very comfortable bed, beautifully presented with lovely little design touches. It's moments from the beach (gorgeous sunsets) and a green space which the dog enjoyed. The host Carol was great, checking that we had everything we needed. Would definitely recommend and we hope to stay again in the future!

The owners were so friendly and helpful.

Accommodation was perfect for the 2 of us and a small dog All you needed in a kitchen was there No TV but we were so glad there wasnt meant we read and rested and had a good early night

A lovely comfortable holiday stay.

Would highly recommend. We loved our trip away. Our stay at the hideout was everything we wanted and could have asked for, even better that we could share it will our furry friend. Carol and Steve were lovely hosts and we enjoyed our bottle of wine on arrival. We appreciated that there was a little jar of dog treats for the pups! Really thoughtful. A few thing we would have liked to have when staying was a couple condiments e.g salt, pepper, oil and maybe some sauces, however we weren’t far from the shop so we managed to get it. Thank you again. We hope to be back for a longer stay xx

The Hideout has it all - stunning location with the beach on the doorstep, beautifully furnished and with it's own lovely, secure garden.

The owners were great to deal with and had thought of everything we needed - milk and a lovely chilled bottle of wine on arrival. Towels, sheets and extra blankets and lovely extras like thermos flasks for a coffee as you walk along the beach. We'd highly recommend a short drive to The Gribble Inn in Oving, a dog friendly pub that does the most fantastic food and its own micro-brewery. We'll definitely be back!

A delightful little retreat with its own little pet friendly garden, the owners have thought of everything that you could possible need for a summer or winter break.

A lovely presented folder with all amenities listed in the area. Lovely Walks ,Pubs and restaurants with directions, very useful. Little extra touches like a welcoming bottle of wine and a pint of Milk in fridge, even a little jar of dog treats along side jars of tea, coffee and biscuits. Would highly recommend .

Loved being able to go out and about without disturbing the owners.

Everything I needed was supplied and if I needed Carol she was available. Lovely touches of wine in the fridge, a small Christmas tree on the table with Christmas crackers was appreciated. The Hideout was perfect for what I needed to recharge and be away from the fast lane of London. I will love to rebook again next year.

Lovely stay, very peaceful.

Both Steve and Carol were very welcoming and offered to take a few things out of the accommodation so our spaniels could have more room. A lovely touch to find a pint of milk and a bottle of wine in the fridge. The accommodation was very comfortable and spotlessly clean. We were pleased that we decided to bring our laptop so we could watch TV and chill out. I'm sure that we had stayed in the summer we would have made more use of the enclosed courtyards with our four legged boys. Location was brilliant, a short walk to the beach and a pleasant walk to the High Street. West Wittering beautiful sandy beach only 4 miles away.

A really lovely beach side property, well kitted out with all you need.

You really couldn't need for anything else, Carol the owner was on hand, if you Did. We really look forward to re booking soon. Very well situated for the beach and a short walk to the shops, buses, and anything else you need. Thank you, we loved our stay.

We loved the Hideout.

It was immaculately presented and had the addition of its own private enclosed garden. Steve and Carol were lovely hosts. Nothing was too much trouble. We shall definitely be going back. If you like seafood like we both do, you are in for a real treat. The fresh fish you could buy was amazing. Definitely worth a visit.

The Hideout is a very special place.

We spent a relaxing week there and have come back truly refreshed. The location is stunning with the beach seconds away, perfect for walks, swims and incredible sunsets. It is a dark skies area, so quite magical in the evening. The Hideout is small but beautifully decorated , with a homely feel and is equipped with most things you will need for a holiday. The bed is very comfortable and the en suite has an excellent shower. The private courtyard garden is a bonus. Selsey itself is a well kept secret. There is a full range of shops and an excellent Coop. It’s a really friendly and relaxed town. Over all it is a perfect place to get away from it all. Carol and Steve were great hosts. We certainly plan to visit again. Tim + Anni

Just to say we had a fantastic time at the Hideout.

The property is well equipped and ideal for a relaxing, restful, away from it all break.We loved being so close to the sea and beach is amazing . Fabulous!!!!

Great location!

I would say this property is ideal for couples who enjoy walking ( we do....but this time had our elderly dog with us which slowed us down this time! ) or if you are just looking for total relaxation and an evening stroll to a local pub. A really good base to explore the coastal areas around & very close to Arundel and Chichester. The Hideout is decorated beautifully and maintained very well. Highly recommended.

Everything was amazing, we greatly enjoyed our stay here.

The location was perfect - literally a 10 second walk to the beach! The cabin itself was luxurious, it had everything we needed inside - every little detail was thought of. The only small downside for us was the wifi was a little unstable but we only needed that in the evenings for watching Netflix on our laptop whilst it was too windy and cold to be outside. So overall, it didn't impact the stay at all. Carol was so friendly and we felt she was there if we needed her for any questions or recommendations in the area. It was a much needed break for us and we will definitely be back :)

It was decorated beautifully and simply.

It was really clean which was important to us and very peaceful. I lost my partner a few weeks ago and wanted somewhere for me and my granddaughter to get away for a little bit of headspace for a few days. This was perfect, the beach is 10 seconds away as described, lovely enclosed pebble garden area which was perfect for my dog. Tea and coffee facilities were also available. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone wanting to just get away. It was also close to a lot of other amenities if you want to get out during the day. Fabulous.
