Let customers speak for us
from 72 reviewsWarren was great from start to finish.
I contacted Happy Hideouts to double-check the availability of the Intex Ultra XTR 16' x 28" swimming pool, as other sites were claiming to have it in stock when they didn't. Warren confirmed he had it, let me arrange a collection, and even had it ready and waiting when I arrived.
Thanks to his fantastic, personal service, I got the pool up and filled just in time for the hot weather and May half-term! It’s rare to find a business owner so helpful and genuine. Happy Hideouts is definitely on my preferred sellers list now. Thank you, Warren!
The product is good. The kids really love it. It helps me to be more active too. Happy Hideouts were really responsive and great to deal with.
Great communication from Warren, we had a wee issue with our delivery which was sorted immediately! Really happy with the trampoline, it’s great quality, I am sure we will get lots of years of run out of it, our little girl loves it!!
Ordered this playbase to meet the needs of my growing autistic 14 year-old who still likes to swing. As well as my older son who likes to work out. Really great service received and the whole thing was ordered and installed in 2 weeks.
Very helpful advice from Warren to help choose the right trampoline. Very happy with our choice (and so is our son!)
Fabulous customer service with a really personal touch. The rebounder arrived the day after purchase. It’s nicely packaged and easy to set up. I didn’t do it as my 11 year old daughter did it for me in 10 minutes. Her top tip is to put on cycling gloves when attaching the last few.
It is a brilliant size. I’m 5 ft 6 and there’s ample space to feel confident you won’t crash on the edge. Fabulous for exercise and lymph drainage. My legs feel really good post bounce.
It arrived at the beginning of the Easter hols and my 11 and 13 year old have barely left it alone. They love it and are far more adventurous on it than I am.
It looks great and is a quality rebounder. We had some gym mats to hand which we put underneath it. I’m not sure if we needed to but it’s on a newly tiled floor so we took no chances.
Great value, especially for the quality. I didn’t purchase a handle but may get one down the line as they can be purchased separately.
Good service and sturdy product. We paid for the installation as well and the team did a good job of this as well
As a Motion capture artist, I needed something strong and reliable to train on, and Acon has always been one of the go-to manufacturers for intensive practice! 😎
Warren was a pleasure to talk to with quick and friendly responses throughout the whole order process. Delivery was super fast, and everything arrived exactly as expected. 🙌
The quality is amazing, and it's very reassuring to own such a strong and robust trampoline, which will survive my explosive line of work haha! 🎬🥷👊🕷️🕸️
Big thanks to Warren, and thanks so much for such great service and customer care! 😁✨
Really helpful and patient customer service and we got a brilliant trampoline!
Rebounder is so much better than the one I had. Service by the company has been superior.
Phoned up for advice and chat was friendly and informative. Quality toys and follow up service.
Would highly recommend this company.
Happy Hideouts have been seamless - I ordered the Acon basketball hoop, and 24hrs later it had been delivered to my house - What an incredible service - thank you so much. You helped to make a last minute birthday present purchase be the best present! So a big thank you from me.
Brilliant bounce!
It is a performance trampoline and came at a significant cost, but we believe it is worth it. It is just so much better than a regular trampoline.
My son has been using this for nearly 2 months now and it is just so much fun!! He can do real skilful jumps on this one.
Good for adults who just want to enjoy a bounce too :-)!
Maybe the net could be a bit tighter - it gives quite a bit if you accidentally land in it
The ordering process and service by Happy Hideouts has been amazing
Great company from start to finish.
Answered my many questions and nothing was too much trouble.
Very pleased with the trampoline.
Highly recommend.

The Happy Hideouts Family
Hiya! We're Warren and Leanne, and just like you, we're parents trying to pry our kids away from their screens (though sometimes we're guilty of a cheeky bit of Bluey ourselves). With our 2-year-old tornado of energy and our 10-year-old master negotiator, we know firsthand the juggle of keeping different ages entertained.

How We Got Here
Remember those endless summer holidays when the biggest decision was whether to hit the park or build a den in the garden? That's what inspired Happy Hideouts. While we can't quite recreate the joy of a 90s summer (sorry, no Pogs or Tamagotchis here), we can help bring back the magic of outdoor play.
Our Promise to You
Let's be honest - searching for outdoor play equipment can feel about as fun as assembling flat-pack furniture in the rain. That's why we do things differently:
- You'll always speak with either Warren or Leanne - no call centre maze to navigate
- We'll help you find the perfect fit from our collection of top-quality brands
- Our brilliant installation team will handle all the heavy lifting (while you put the kettle on)
- We'll check in after your delivery to make sure everything's tickety-boo and see if there's anything else you need
The Extended Family
This is Ricky, our resident cuddle expert. Working from home means he's perfected the art of the "important business meeting interruption" for belly rubs.
And meet Mochi, Ricky's best mate, our adventurous but shy cat who splits her time between exploring the garden and window-watching birds with all the focus of a Great British Bake Off contestant on bread week.

We are really happy with it. The delivery arrived at the right time that was shared. We had a really successful party the next weekend due to the climbing frame!
The children have been on it every day since it was built. They love the two towers.
We are really happy with the overall service and the money that we saved by going through Happy Hideouts.
Thanks Andy. Really glad it all arrived on time and helped make the party a good one.
This has been perfect for us. Our 4 and 2 year olds are really enjoying it, there's lots for them to do!
Delivery was a bit delayed but Happy Hideouts were brilliant at keeping in touch and trying to move things along!
