hidey-hole
Cozy concealment space
A hidey-hole is a small, concealed space used for hiding—either oneself or something valuable.
Children have hidey-holes in closets or under beds; adults might keep cash in a hidey-hole.
The word carries a playful, informal tone: She found the cat in its favorite hidey-hole behind the couch.
Also spelled hidey hole or hidy-hole.
