The ULTIMATE Luxury Adult Only Escape: The Hideaway Experience
The adult-only retreat in Scotland that NEEDS to be on your radar! Welcome to The Hideaway Experience...
The Hideaway Experience have VERY kindly offered my readers 20% off their booking with the code: 'FAMOUS'!
Where? The Hideaway Experience, Balkello Farm, Auchterhouse, By Dundee, Scotland, UK, DD3 oRA
At the beginning of December Ben and I were fortunate enough to spend three utterly magical nights at The Hideaway Experience near Dundee and I genuinely haven't stopped dreaming about that place ever since!
I came across The Hideaway Experience on Instagram and am so bloody glad I did - we booked up and set off from Stanstead one very early, very rainy Wednesday morning and flew into Edinburgh where we hired a car (super cheaply too with Gold Car!), and drove the hour long journey to The Hideaway Experience which is located just outside of Dundee!
I honestly don't feel like my pictures (or any pictures!) can do this place justice, it's one of those places that you truly have to see for yourself! The adult only hideaway each come with a private hot tub, double bath, sauna and wood burning stove!
Let's take a look at The Hideaway Experience and exactly why it needs to be your next UK getaway!
Getting there & our Hideaway...
I think it's easy for us 'London / Southern' based folk to think of Scotland being 'too far', but it's REALLY not. As I mentioned, Ben and I flew from Stanstead to Edinburgh in 50 minutes (we booked a SUPER cheap flight with Ryanair for £40 each return!), then hired a car and drove for roughly an hour until we reached The Hideaway Experience! Our flight left at 8.30am and we were there by 11am - winning!
As soon as we arrived I was totally blown away, Ben and I booked to stay at 'The Dreamers' (there's four different hideaways on the farm: The Lovers / The Dreamers / The Honeymooners and The Romantics!), and instantly fell in love! Complete with a double bath, private sauna & hot tub, super king size bed with Egyptian cotton and a wood burning stove.. oh my this place was UNREAL!
From start to finish we just couldn't stop gushing about how incredible our home for three days was (we genuinely contemplated never leaving haha!). If you're thinking of planning a 'special occasion' break for a birthday, anniversary, proposal, honeymoon / minimoon etc then THIS IS THE PLACE FOR YOU!!!

The Dreamers Hideaway...
As I mentioned, we booked into The Dreamers for three nights and it really was just that; DREAMY!
From the decor, to the wood burning stove, spa bathroom and outdoor decking area - there was no detail left unnoticed and the interior was just so cosy and inviting!
I'd highly recommend booking The Dreamers if you're looking to book The Hideaway Experience; Ben and I are already planning our return visit and we can't wait to try out one of the other Hideaways!
The Bathroom & our massages:
Yes, I felt like I needed to talk specifically about this bathroom because it was BLOODY UNREAL! When Ben and I settle into our forever home, THIS IS MY DREAM!! A double bathtub over looking rolling hills? Yes please! A full size sauna? Yes please! A double rain shower? YES PLEASE!
TOP TIP: If you're looking for extra relaxation during your stay at The Hideaway Experience (aren't we all?!), then I would HIGHLY recommend booking Lesley from Stressless Massage Therapy. Lesley is a mobile masseuse and she set up a massage table in our bathroom and gave us each a 45 minute back neck and shoulder massage, it was utter bliss! We were both so, so relaxed and it was the perfect way to round off the day!

The food:
I loved the fact that the cabins are self catering as you really have the freedom to dine wherever you want, if you want to take a drive to find a cosy pub for the evening then it's perfect!
We decided to cook for the duration of our stay, we were recommend a local farm shop, so we took a drive there on our first day, stocked up on lots of goodness (and wine of course!), and literally hibernated for three days, it was so blissful!
Oh, and we were also welcome to our Hideaway with a fresh loaf of WARM bread and Strawberry Champagne jam (which I can confirm was the best jam I think I've *ever tried! Gutted I couldn't bring it home as we only had hand luggage allowance!).

If you're looking to escape the city for a few days or somewhere to visit for a special occasion then I honestly can't recommend The Hideaway Experience enough!! Ben and I are planning to go back next year as we always try to take an end of year break early December to wind down before Christmas and we're already looking forward to returning to this magical place!

I have been SO excited to share this post with you all (I know you guys absolutely loved seeing it on Instagram / stories so I hope you'll enjoy this post too and get a better feel for the place with a few more snaps!).
Is The Hideaway Experience somewhere you'd like to visit? Could you see yourself booking this for a special occasion?
*A HUGE thank you to The Hideaway Experience for hosting Ben and I for three nights, we had the most magical stay! Even though we were hosted, all opinions and images as always are honest and my own. We paid for our own food, flights and car hire and genuinely can't wait to return and pay for this magical experience ourselves!
