Weekend Break

A great find in the Lake District. The hotel was easy to find down a quiet street in Windermere. The room was cosy and clean and while compact (as described) it had everything we needed with the complimentary slice of cake each day a welcome bonus. The breakfast was amazing and staff were happy to accommodate any likes / dislikes around food. Definitely would return in the future.

My partner and I stayed at the Hideaway for 3 nights and we found our stay very enjoyable! We requested some of the extras they offer, the petals and the chocolate covered strawberries, and these were ready on arrival alongside the cakes they prepare daily for guests. We absolutely loved the cakes and the strawberries were delicious! The staff was incredibly nice and friendly, helping us with recommendations and frequently checking in with us. The breakfast was also delicious, with various options on the menu, from full English to cereals and pastries. Everything was made to order so we had fresh breakfast every day. The service was very attentive as well. There was also loads of parking space, out of the way of the roads, so we had no worries about the car. We had room 8 and we had everything we needed for the stay. The hand towel though was awkwardly placed, around hip height, so that you had to bend down every time you wanted to dry your hands. The room, overall, was a bit small, but for a short stay, it was fine. We found the bed to be quite firm, but we adjusted on the second night. Overall, enjoyed our stay and thank you to the staff for being so welcoming!

An absolutely lovely property situated far enough out of the way so it is quiet, but only a 5 minute walk to the shops and bars in Windermere. Room was fairly small but absolutely spotless and in mint condition with lovely views. The breakfast was delicious and plentiful, with several options for the main and cereal, toast, fruit, yoghurt and either a croissant or cake. We were also given a home made cake on arrival which was really nice. Service was friendly and attentive. Plenty of parking and a nice garden to sit in outside for sunnier days or a nice living room when the weather isn’t as nice. Would definitely stay here again.

The Hideaway was easy to get to with amazing service and comfortable rooms. Whatever questions we had, the receptionist or the owner were happy to answer and gave great advice on where to go in Windermere and the best ways to get there. Absolutely would recommend staying at the Hideaway.

Lovely place to stay. Breakfast was great with a large choice of hot and cold food brought to your table. As an extra treat we had home made cake every day. Room was comfortable and clean. Staff were very good. Very close to shops, restaurants and transport.
