We stayed at The Hideaway for 3 nights in August. Unfortunately the weather was very changeable so we couldn’t enjoy the outside surroundings very much as took advantage of the dry parts to explore. The room was quite small but still ok for us. The breakfast options are wonderful! Nothing was ever too much trouble if you wanted to exchange certain breakfast items and we were honestly so full we didn’t eat until the evenings. Everyone was very friendly and having a piece of cake every day was a lovely little treat. It was a nice walk into Windermere and also Bowness-On-Windermere if you can. The hop on/off bus can be caught at the station if you want to travel around which we did. The Lake District is just beautiful and we very much enjoyed our visit. The only thing we would say is that maybe the communal area could be a little brighter, with maybe less furniture to make it a more pleasant place to relax.

Lovely clean hotel, room was bright and clean, shower could be better with a booster pump, breakfast to die for fab choices! The only improvement would be a bar in main lounge so you could have a wee nightcap before bed!! Otherwise a lovely clean and welcoming hotel with amazing staff!!

Give us this day our daily cake!

The Hideaway is exactly that. A perfect, peaceful Windermere bolthole on a quiet, non-through road. From our spacious room (room 7) on the top floor, there was the treat of ever changing land and skyscape views, including a couple of spectacular midsummer sunsets, from a lovely little window seat. Lisa, Richard and the rest of the team are super friendly and have worked hard to make guests feel so welcome and make sure they leave rested, rejuvenated, and full of cake! Yes, from check in and at each breakfast we were all offered a choice of homemade cake slices! Perfect treat with a coffee at the end of a day exploring the area. Choose The Hideaway if you find all of this irresistible, but also for its location…5 min walk from the station, and several road and woodland routes (one with a waterfall) down to the lake (20-30mins depending on which way you go). There’s also a bus stop nearby for trips out to Ambleside and beyond. We don’t get to the lakes as often as we like, but next time we do, we will definitely be staying here again.

Loved it!

We very much enjoyed our stay at the Hideaway at Windermere! The location was very convenient to the local train station, tour bus starting point and local restaurants. The room and bathroom were very clean and comfortable for my daughter and myself. It also has a comfortable library with lots of comfy chairs that was great for me to use when having some insomnia. The garden area was also lovely to use. The best aspect of our stay there was the wonderful breakfasts, ranging from full English to yogurt and fruit, with pots of coffee or a variety of teas. Friendly owners and staff. Would 100% stay there again!

Lovely Staff

Hi my husband and I just got back from staying at The Hideaway hotel in Windermere. The hotel itself is a charming building with lots of character. Plenty of room for parking. When we got there Lisa introduced herself and we did the paperwork after which she gave us a lovely piece of cake each! The room was really cosy part contemporary and the rest in quirky windows. Lovely bed, immaculate bedding and towels. Later we took a short walk into the small village of Windermere which was nice with some good shops. Later that day we went to Bowness and shopped at the town there. Some super restaurants and Cafés. The Lake itself was beautiful especially Sun shining. We did go on a boat trip which was enjoyable and great scenery. Anyway we were really pleased with what we saw of The Lakes. The breakfast on the two mornings were faultless. Staff attentive and helpful. The food was absolutely lovely. Poached eggs on Sourdough toasted!! Again each day we had a choice of slice of cake . Thanks to the Hotel staff we had a really nice experience of the whole time we stayed. Well worth visiting. Quiet and peaceful at night, also on immaculate beds couldn't ask for more !! Thank you from Tereza and Clive Schofield of West Midlands
