The room was nice clean, the bathroom was really nice. The best part was the hosting and the breakfast provided was absolutely brilliant loved our stay.. the cake that was gucen too was a really nice touch. Thanks again.
Breakfast was excellent the best mushrooms I have ever eaten. Room was very clean. I was slightly disappointed with the mattress as it was not the most comfortable mattress I've slept on. The home made cake was beautiful. I would stay again but not in the same bed.
Excellent location, easy to park. Our room (number 1) was large, with huge ensuite and access to a private patio area. I would highly recommend the Hideaway. Breakfast was fantastic and the daily cake was lovely.
What a lovely and charming place the hotel, staff and food were excellent.
I would definitely recommend if anyone is thinking of staying there.

The room was clean and warm, the bed was comfortable. The location was excellent...quiet and beautiful ....Windermere has everything from supermarkets to craft and walking gear shops, pubs to a variety of restaurants. We parked the car in front of The Hideaway, it was just a few minutes walk into the town, and we could also easily drive out to other locations. The breakfasts were excellent (with very good veggie/vegan alternatives) served by super efficient and very friendly staff. We would definitely book here again.
We've been to the Northern Lakes many times but wanted to visit the area around Lake Windermere. This lovely little hotel, close to the town was perfect for a two night stay.
