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!

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.
