Hawthorn Hideaway: The perfect setting for a romantic break with peace, tranquility and nature on your doorstep
Having visited twice before, staying over in Swan Lodge – perfect for newly wedded couples, this time we got to get a taste of life on the water on Kingfisher.
The narrowboat is equipped with everything you could possibly need from a fully working kitchen, shower and toilet, gorgeously comfy bed, living room with TV, and outdoor space with seating, a barbecue and hot tub offering fanatstic sunset views.
Although the site itself is small, you feel like you are a million miles from anyone and anywhere, but owners Ronnie and Josephine are just a telephone call away if you need anything.
It really is an escape from the rat race, and we can't praise it highly enough.
Now the hideaway just doesn't offer a break, there are lots of experiences to be had as well.
Enjoy a spa experience with your own private hot tub plus private use of the sauna and steam room.
You can also book couples massage treatments as well the opportunity for an indoor or outdoor cinema.
You can also book the BBQ hut but if cooking isn't your thing then why not try a private dining experience with a private chef.
Also available are celebration packages, self drive or skippered boat trips, treats, balloons, flowers and much more.
Hawthorn Hideaway is perfect for lots of celebrations be it birthdays, anniversaries, minimoons, honeymoons, elopement weddings, Valentine's and more.
It is difficult to sum up everything there is on offer at Hawthorn Hideaway so please take a look the website https://www.hawthornhideaway.com/, or even better why not take a look for yourself and get yourself booked in for a summer getaway or autumnal long weekend, or maybe even a Christmas treat?
What could be better than cosying up in front of one of the log burners as the nights draw in?
You will not be disappointed.

ScotRail saw busiest week of 2025 as Oasis played in Scotland
Almost two million people travelled on Scotland's railways recently, with many attending the concerts at Murrayfield Stadium as well as various festivals in Edinburgh, including the Fringe. Music fans descended on the rail network as Noel and Liam Gallagher prepared to play three shows in Scotland after getting back together and going on tour for the first time since Oasis disbanded in 2009. Around 328,000 commuters packed onto trains on Friday, August 8, to see the Mancunian rockers. The rail operator noted that this is a 19 per cent increase in passenger numbers compared with the same day last year. We previously reported that huge queues had been spotted spilling out of Glasgow Queen Street station on August 8 as concert goers eagerly waited to board services to the capital.

The last of Oasis' Scottish gigs took place on Tuesday, August 12, and delivered a further boost in numbers. This meant that from the week of Friday, August 8, 1,995,000 people travelled on ScotRail services. Ahead of the sold-out run of gigs at Murrayfield, extra trains and seats were put on by ScotRail to accommodate fans.
