Hideaway Escapes
The stay that saves the budget for Blue Lagoon
About this hotel
Hideaway Escapes is not trying to be the resort experience: it is the plain, practical base for a family that would rather spend its money on Blue Lagoon tickets and dinners out than on a fancier room. The location near Narberth puts it a short taxi ride from both the water park and The Barley Gastrobar, and the kitchen available in some rooms lets a family cook breakfast instead of paying for it at the property. Full-service laundry is a genuine help on a multi-day slides trip, when wet swimsuits and towels pile up fast and a holiday-park machine queue is not appealing. Free parking and free Wi-Fi are included, and the property stays kid-friendly and smoke-free throughout, without pretending to be anything more than a comfortable, affordable base.
- Budget-friendly stay near Narberth
- Kitchen in some rooms
- Full-service laundry on site
- Free parking and Wi-Fi
Our take
Hideaway Escapes suits families on a tighter budget who have already decided the money goes to Blue Lagoon itself, not the room. The laundry facilities make it a genuinely practical choice for a longer stay with young kids going through swimwear and towels daily. Anyone wanting an on-site pool, breakfast included or a resort feel should book Bluestone Resort or one of the breakfast-included properties instead.
- ✓Skip the paid breakfast and cook in the room instead, then put the savings toward a second Blue Lagoon session that week.
- ✓Use the full-service laundry mid-stay rather than at the end, wet swimsuits from a multi-day slides trip pile up fast.
- ✓Book your taxi to Blue Lagoon the night before during busy weeks, since this budget base is a short ride rather than a walk.
Why we love it
- The lowest nightly rate on this list by far
- Full-service laundry for a multi-day slides trip
- A kitchen in some rooms cuts down on eating out
- Free parking and Wi-Fi even at this price
Why guests love itA family stretching a Pembrokeshire budget across a multi-day slides trip tends to land on Hideaway Escapes for one reason: the money it frees up for Blue Lagoon tickets and dinners. The kitchen in some rooms and the full-service laundry matter more here than they would at a pricier hotel, since cooking breakfast and washing wet swimsuits mid-stay both cut real costs. It is not a resort experience, and does not try to be, but for a family whose budget is going into the water park itself, that trade works.
