Overview
Brand new to our portfolio, The Hideout is a beautiful Skydeck property with a hot tub on its roof terrace giving you the perfect spot to sit back, relax and take in the lake views.
The Hideout is located on the water's edge of Minety Lake giving you beautiful views of the surrounding lake and the wildlife that calls it home. The homeowners have taken great care in designing and furnishing this property so that holiday goers are able to make the most of their stay. You will be located a short 5-10 minute walk from the center at Lower Mill where you will be able to enjoy access to Lower Mill's award-winning, tranquil spa, exclusively for guests and residents of Lower Mill.
The Hideout will only be accepting weekend bookings until the end of February. From March 2023 onwards the property can be booked for mid-week and week holidays as well.
Minety Lake is a brand new addition to Lower Mill and Habitat Escapes! As such, there are still properties and areas of the island and wider estate that are undergoing final elements of construction, so whilst this property is fully completed, you will see construction, machinery, and workers on or around the island between 0730 and 1800, Monday to Friday and 0800 to 1300, Saturday. Please abide by any signage relating to construction areas. Please review the above images to make sure you are aware of the surrounding construction of Minety Lake 44.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch with a member of the Habitat Escapes Team.

Finding your Property
From the main entrance where the security hut is positioned drive through the gates and cross the first bridge. Take the first right turn you reach and go over the next two bridges in front of you. Just after the second bridge, the road will split off left and right. Please take the road on the right through the car park area and continue straight, ignoring the next left-hand turn. Continue on, and on both sides, you will see houses, follow the properties along until the end when you need to turn left, then also take the next left. Keep following the houses along by number until you reach number 44 (The Hideout) on your left-hand side.
To assist you during darker evenings, you would be advised to bring a torch with you as there is no street lighting permitted on the Estate other than low-level lighting.
