A holiday homeowner is celebrating after her seaside getaway was named the best in the country for its beachside location. The Hideout in Selsey has been named the best staycation location for beaches in the UK after Carol Howard turned the small outbuilding into a cozy seaside studio let. Carol said the national recognition was “really rewarding” after launching the site as a passion project during the Covid-19 pandemic.

She added: “I’ve worked hard over the years to make The Hideout a success, and I really enjoy meeting all the lovely guests that come through its doors. I’m fortunate to receive great feedback from our visitors, with two couples even falling so much in love with the area that they’ve moved to Selsey, but an award like this really does mean a lot.

It’s really rewarding to see them embrace the simplistic lifestyle that the area has to offer and leave feeling refreshed.” Read More: Life in 'poshest' Sussex village that stars call home The Hideout was recognis.
