Soak up the peaceful serenity of this charming retreat...enjoy the night's sky from your own hot tub or get cosy indoors in front of the log burner. As we take pride in prepping the hot tub for each guest stay the water may not be up to temperature by the time you arrive on site, but rest assured, that the water will be blissfully warm and enjoyable for your second night with us. Overton Island is a newly completed village at Silverlake. Whilst this property is fully completed, there are still properties on the island and wider Estate that are undergoing various elements of construction. You may see and hear construction between 0730 and 1800, Monday to Friday and 0800 to 1300, Saturday. Please do abide by any signage relating to construction areas. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch with a member of the Habitat Escapes Team. The ground floor of The Hideaway is a modern new style open plan kitchen, dining room and living area. Making evenings cosy couldn't be easier with the log fire as a central feature to the living room. The bright and spacious bedrooms are located upstairs with two double bedrooms, one with en-suite and a children's room with bunk beds. The accommodation is completed with a family bathroom located on the first floor. We have styled The Hideaway to provide modern touches and homely comforts. We hope you have everything you need for your stay. But if there is anything you think we could improve on the property we would love to hear it.
