The Hideaway in Snainton | Must-See Vale of York Hot Tub Cottage

About The Hideaway

The Hideaway is a cosy two-bedroom cottage in the North Yorkshire village of Snainton. This traditional stone property sits between the North York Moors and the stunning Yorkshire coast, making it perfect for exploring both countryside and seaside. With Scarborough just 10 miles away and Pickering 8 miles inland, you'll have the best of Yorkshire right on your doorstep.

Snainton village offers two pubs serving food within walking distance, a children's playground and even a 9-hole golf course with driving range. The surrounding area is packed with attractions - from the vast expanse of Dalby Forest to the historic steam railway. After a day of exploring, your private hot tub awaits in the secluded garden - nothing beats sinking into those bubbles with a glass of wine.

The accommodation features two comfortable double bedrooms, a fully-equipped kitchen with dishwasher and a cosy living area with a woodburning stove that keeps things toasty on chilly evenings. The bathroom includes a bath with shower over, though several guests have noted the bath is quite deep - consider it your daily leg workout!

Day trips are easy from The Hideaway. Visit Scarborough's beaches (10 miles, 20 minutes), explore historic Whitby (25 miles, 40 minutes), wander through Scampston Walled Garden (7 miles, 15 minutes), or venture to York (31 miles, 50 minutes) for shopping and sightseeing. The hot tub at The Hideaway will be waiting for your return - your muscles will thank you!

The Hideaway Reviews

Graeme

Lovely comfortable stay in this well maintained and clean property. Everything we needed was at hand for our 4 night stay. Ideal for walking in local forest Dalby, trips to the coast Whitby Scarborough, on the old fashioned steam railway Pickering or even a trip to York about 45mins. Relaxing in the hot tub at the end of the day was an added bonus.

Upon arrival to the hidaway we entered to a strange smell which wasn't nice,the sofa could definitely do with a clean,blinds in the kitchen where dirty the cooker seriously needs updating, I couldn't use it,bits of food left in the drawers in the kitchen, no welcome pack,everywhere eles we have stayed we have got one,the pillows where lumpy in the main bedroom,the flooring in the kitchen where sticky,the noise from the traffic feels like there cutting through the house,great base but would never stay again

Dianne

Lovely cottage, very clean, and lovely comfy bed. Instructions to the accommodation were very clear, so made it easy to find. Only downside for us was that it's a very deep bath to climb into to shower. A step and grab handles were provided but we still didn't find it easy to access.

Andrew

Lovely little cottage in a great location. The owners attention to detail has made sure that you have everything you need for your stay. The hot tub in the back garden in a perfect addition to your stay. Two local pubs within a 10 minute walk and a nice little park just along the road. We visited Flamingoland and Scarborough and both were very easy to get to. Would definitely recommend and we wouldn't hesitate to return if we are back in the area.

Rachel

Had an absolutely fantastic time, The hideaway was perfect! Very clean, all amenities there that you would need, comfortable beds, excellent hot tub, couldnt have asked for anything more. Highly recommend

The cottage was lovely and clean and very comfortable. The owners were very helpful. Directions and information prior to stay was spot on. The cottage is ideally situated for exploring the North York Moors and east coast. We would highly recommend this cottage and we will be back I'm sure.

Fabulous property. Very clean, home from home Comfy sofa and bed. Hot tub was a real treat loved it a ll. A

Michelle

Lovely quaint little cottage that was in a good location for coast & countryside. Well maintained inside & the hot tub was excellent.

We had a lovely 3 night stay here. The hot tub was lovely! Coat cottage with everything you would need.

Regular visitors to The Hideaway. Stunning property, always very clean and comfortable. Hottub perfect size and temperature. log burner is amazing

Exactly what it says it is

We had a 2 night stay in this gorgeous property and it definitely lived up to expectations. There was four of us and there was plenty of room without feeling cramped. The kitchendining area is perfect size to chill out and all relax together so much so we barely used the living room. Everything that would we need was provided and the property was clean. The host had included small details including games and a lot of information of attractions in the local area. Although it is on a main road, we barely noticed passing cars. The only downfall is the lack of amenities in the area due to it being a small village and having specific opening times but we were aware of this at the time of the booking. Scarborough isn't too far a drive and there's plenty of lovely places to eat out and things to do. We didn't have any issues during our stay and was just what we needed for a relaxing break away. Just disappointed we didn't book for longer! Definitely recommend and hope to book again in the future Thank you very much!xx

Michael

Good location for the North Yorkshire coast and moors. Good size accommodation, very well stocked with everything you need for your stay. Very happy with our week at this location. Would thoroughly recommend.

This cottage was perfect, exactly how it was pictured and we couldnt have been happier there. The welcome pack was brilliant and very informative and the bed was super comfy, best sleep Ive had in a long time. Im definitely planning on coming back .

Millie

Lovely place. Hot tub was great. Only down side was the lack of added extras. There were tea, coffee and sugar jars, with residue of existing tea and coffee. I assume this means they hadn't been topped up for our stay. Seems minor, but when going away for only 2 nights we didn't think to bring it with us as everywhere we have stayed previous has provided tea, coffee etc. We had a lovely stay, it just felt we paid for the building, nothing more, nothing less. We are used to a little welcome pack? A little milk in the fridge? Maybe some shower soap facilities? Unfortunately, we feel we got the bare minimum. Apart from that the cottage was nice and cosy.

Had a lovely stay at the hideaway. Great location not far from either Scarborough or Whitby. Had all essentials needed like tin foil, washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets etc meaning you didnt have to go out and buy anything. Lovely added extra of the hot tub which we all enjoyed several times during the stay. The only negative I have is the parking is down a very narrow alley up a hill. Not the easiest to park but we managed. Would definitely recommend

A lovely cottage for a family holiday, giving easy access to Dalby Forest and the coast. Local to Pickering for food shopping and has a few local pubs. Love the jacuzzi, a must after a busy day out. Thank you to Laura and her husband for being great hosts and very attentive.

Claire

Great 2 night breakaway. House was easy to find and was more spacious than expected. Hot tub was great! We enjoyed our stay and used it as a base for visiting Scarborough, Robin Hoods Bay, Whitby 40min drive and Filey 25min drive Only downsides Parking very tight turning up the driveway! Apparently can park up the road if cant get into parking space though..although not ideal! Main bedroom very bright in the morning! Would benefit from black out curtains! Only 1 window has curtains,other window office style blinds.. light flooding in! Is on a busy road. The noise didnt bother me although my partner did complain it was too noisy for him.

The property was completely as advertised and is a lovely place to stay and very comfy big bed in the main bedroom. Had a conversation with a lovely neighbour and except the very busy main road Which cant be helped was a very quiet area. Hot tub was nice and warm and was really relaxing. Only comment i would make for the owners is if it had been 2 couples staying the Bathroom door currently does not close and lock. This was not a problem for us as it was just the two of us staying there.

Deborah

Lovely property, we really enjoyed the hot tub. Beds very comfortable. Ideal location to visit some beautiful villages and countryside in the North Yorkshire Moors. Owners are lovely and extremely helpful. Totally enjoyed it and couldnt recommend it enough.

Lesley

Absolutely perfect property for our little birthday getaway weekend. The property was very clean on arrival and has all the essentials needed. Very comfortable all round. Lovely little garden with hot tub which was enjoyed by all. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Eleanor

Loved, loved, LOVED our stay! Can't fault anything, bed was super comfy, hot tub was lovely after a long day's walk and the kitchen was really pretty and well designed. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay.

Caroline

The cottage is really lovely and cosy, and hot tubgarden is great! We had issues with plumbing in the bathroom sink taps hot tap very noisy and cold tap sometimes didn't work. There was also a leak on the radiator in the back bedroom which resulted in a wet carpet but this was sorted out by the owner the same day. The only feedback I would have is that there were only three wine glasses and three prosecco glasses not matching which was slightly problematic when there were four adults staying there!! There were also only two glass tumblers which was disappointing. I found it slightly odd that bathhand towels were supplied but no tea towel in the kitchen I did see the note saying to bring a tea towel at the bottom of the email, but I just don't see why it could be provided when everything else is?! Overall it was a great cottage in a great location and would stay again if I wanted to visit the area would make sure I brought some glasses with me though! Thanks for a lovely stay

Had a wonderful child free weekend for my husbands birthday he loved his suprise we will be back again thankyou

Rebecca

Loved the cottage, we had a great time. Enjoyed the hot tub on an evening, had a lovely walk to one of the pubs, it was a lovely little getaway!

Nicola

Cosy cottage , loved the hot tub, fab place to chill after lovely walks in and around Yorkshire. Coachman pub in the village , less than 10 minutes walk was very welcoming and food outstanding. Fish and chips available Friday and Saturday was lovely. Would definitely stay again.

We had a wonderful stay. Hot tub was perfect. Only downside the front bedroom could of done with a curtain on the side window as the streetlight is very bright.

The cottage is lovely fitted out with good quality furnishings and is spacious the garden and hot tub are magnificent i doubt we'd return tho as we found offputting half a fire lighter no kindling even tho it says all fuel and power included no sugar no coffee no welcome bottle of milk 2 dishwasher tablets worn out sponge for washing up no foil, etc in others words remember to bring everything we were warned in other reviews about this parsimony but regretfully ignored that info

Ashlee

Lovely little cottage. Lush location. Hot tub was fabulous added extra. Had a lovely time celebrating my birthday and valentines. Only downside was the dog poo all over the lane on the way to the parking spot. Difficult to avoid with a child and had to drive over to get out. Had been picked up later but with a small child we were up and out early. Would return and cant fault the actual cottage

Lovely place, nicely refurbished. Option to buy more logs on site rather than having to go back out for a 10 minute drive would have been handy.. Would recommend and book again.

4th Time staying at the Hideaway. Stunning property, great hottub and log burner in a quite village but with all you need and very friendly locals. Hope to see you again soon.

Roxanne

The reason for rating of not recommending this place, is purely based on the fact they tried to charge us an extra 45 because we didn't hoover the property and bleach the bath when we left. We got photos sent to us, of a fly squatter not in the cupboard, the ironing board left out, and a hoola hoop on the floor. Absolute ludicrous esp when we had been so laid back about the bath leaking through through the roof. If you are prepared to deep clean the property upon leaving, then I'd highly recommend as its a cosy cottage in a lovely village, hottub is brilliant and you are only half an hours drive to Scarborough. We had a lovely stay with our children until we got a phonecall and email with the above information in it. We personally won't be back due to this reason only

Had everything we needed here. Ample space for 4 people and the comfiest beds ever. Hot tub was superb and the nearby pub, the Coachman did us proud on New Year's eve.

Absolutely lovely place bed was super comfy! ! Hot tub was a really nice touch too! Will definitely be coming back!! Thanks again!

We stayed at this amazing cottage at the beginning of December. It was very clean, warm it was snowing and frosty outside and had everything we wanted. The hot tub was fantastic especially as it was situated in a private garden next to an old stone wall that had a snow on it. We put candles in the snow and had a very romantic and beautiful setting in a warm and clean hot tub. The Peacock, a local pub just short stroll away, was very friendly with a lovely landlady and another warm fire and a good choice of drinks too. The places we visited and the relaxing stay really made our long weekend a fantastic break that we all enjoyed. We are hoping to return and highly recommend to everyone.

Tracey

Perfect little cottage and beautiful surroundings. Ideal base for discovering the area from Maldon to York or Scarborough. The cottage was impeccable and had everything you would need. I would suggest bringing the essentials bread milk coffee etc as the nearest shop was 79 miles away. This didn't really impact out stay as we were out most of the time. Great places to eat in the surrounding areas. Would definitely recommend this cottage for couples. Ps the log fire is an added bonus in colder weather we however didn't use it as the cottage was warm enough.

Lovely little cottage. Very warm & cosy and the log burner was a lovely addition. Beds very comfortable and the cottage was very clean. Short walk to the local pub The Coachman. Prices very reasonable. Hot tub was great and warmed ready for use on upon arrival. Overall a lovely cottage to chill out for a weekend. Thank you

This property is excellent. We really enjoyed our stay. Hotub was fantastic. We would highly recommend this to anyone. The bed was a super king and was so comfy. Everything about the Hideaway was lovely and clean and very cosy. We met Paula and Martin who were lovely and they said if there was anything we needed to let them know . Thank you Paula and Martin for a wonderful stay at your property.

We had a lovely stay the cottage is beautiful, cosy and in a lovely village location close to forest, moors and the beach at Scarborough. Hot tub is as wonderful and a real treat. Rooms more spacious than expected. Hosts very kind and helpful.
