The breakfast was great and the location was excellent , right near the centre of Windermere . Friendly staff and fantastic hotel
Nothing
Very comfortable room, excellent breakfast, friendly staff
Clean, spacious, comfortable and the en-suite had a bath. Very friendly and accommodating owner and staff
Nothing
We have stayed many times before and the staff the accommodation and the location were all exceptional. Thoroughly recommended.
Nothing. All was as good as expected. No problems at all.
Very comfortable
Amazing breakfast. The vibe of the place was beautiful..old world charm, excellent service. superb cleanliness , good bathroom.
Since the view from the window was not attractive they could have dressed up the overlooking roof top (which we could see from our window) with some potted plants. We are aware that we booked the "tiny" room but it was smaller than tiny !!
The staff were incredibly kind, patient, and helpful! The locaiton is great and the breakfast was delicious (and generous!).
We stayed in the 'mini comfort' room, which felt a bit cramped but was still comfortable!
The breakfast was incredible
Great location, beautiful building, very clean and comfortable, staff very friendly and helpful. Breakfast exceptional. Nothing to fault. Would highly recommend.
Can't fault it
Breakfast was exceptional
Room was very small
The property was beautiful and very clean.
Location to Windermere
The room we had was nice but the bed was extremely uncomfortable
Great location, breakfast was very good staff very friendly.
Comfy bed, breakfast good
Tiny room, tiny bathroom, too hot, no fans, small robes, no wardrobe tiny rail
Beautiful building in a stunning location with lovely gardens. Plenty parking in the grounds. Rooms pleasant and clean. Breakfast on another level. Probably one of the best breakfasts I’ve had in my extensive travels. Fab menu to choose from and food u can tell is local quality produce. Friendly staff and helpful.
Can only highly recommend this place
The Hideaway is a lovely small hotel, set in a large garden with plenty of off street parking. Very quiet area yet only 5 mins walk to the center of Windermere. Breakfast was excellent, made to feel very welcome by attentive and friendly staff. The weather was great during our stay and we spent some time sat in the garden watching a squirrel and a very friendly Robin. Highly recommended.
Nicely tucked away so very quiet but still near to the amenities. Fabulous breakfast and lovely staff.
Nothing really .. we only stayed one night on the route home
아침 식사가 넘 좋아요 휴식하기에 조용하고 시설도 만족
짐 많을때 역까지 딜리버리 서비스만 있으면 최고일듯 앞 길이 캐리어 끌기에 너무 울퉁불퉁해서 바퀴 고장날까 걱정되었어요
Beautiful property and lovely room. We were very comfortable. Only short walk into Windermere. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. Gorgeous breakfast, lots of choices too. Will be returning.
A lovely B&b The room was comfortable and clean , the staff were very helpful and the breakfast was excellent . We were in an attic room during a heatwave but the fan we were given was a life saver ..
Fantastic location. Very friendly staff .clean comfortable rooms .very nice breakfast with great choices .we enjoyed our stay and would go back .😊
Fabulous hotel. Room brilliant. Breakfast great! We had the room with the spiral staircase down to the bathroom which could be difficult if you're not very mobile. But we are both 73 and managed ok. Gardens are lovely. We sat out all evening with a bottle of wine. Really recommend this hotel.
Breakfast ok Staff superb Super clean
Lack of air conditioning Lack of bar Seating a little uncomfortable outside
The staff were very friendly and helpful, the property was very clean and just like something out of an Austin novel. Perfectly placed with a short walk into the town and a slightly longer walk into Bowness.
Staff were very friendly and polite, couldn't do enough for us
Lovely staff, good location, comfortable, excellent breakfast
Extraordinary service, above and beyond staff! The breakfast is also amazing. A gem. You have loads of places to choose from, this was the best by far.
Large and beautiful house on a quiet street, delicious breakfast and the family that run it are very helpful. Large parking lot and close to bus stops if needed. Our room was quiet and comfortable. Contact them directly for booking as the online site said they were full when we wanted to visit but they did in fact still have rooms.
Excellent all round. Highly recommend
The best place to stay in Windermere. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. The best freshly cooked breakfast served to you. A wonderful breakfast menu. Room was very comfortable and clean with everything you need. Can't wait fir next visit. Thank-you all so much. Ruth& Alan
Everything about the Hidaway is exceptional, the cleanliness, the comfort, the attention to detail, the staff, and the breakfast. In the perfect position for walking into Windermere The Hidaway deserves all the fab reviews. We will be back.
Location .
Excellent breakfast. Staff were very kind and helpful, when we arrive late, they help actively.
No. Perfect experience.
Adults only hotel was very accommodating from start to finish Greeted warmly by Richard upon arrival, who then subsequently helped with our luggage to the room. Hospitality from the staff was excellent throughout the visit, breakfast was varied, tasty and served to your table efficiently with a smile. We rate the breakfast as being one of the very, and we are frequent travellers. Location was minutes away from the hustle and bustle of Windermere, but perfect for peace and tranquility Highly recommended and will be returning in the near future Colin
Nothing, everything was perfect
This was an absolutely lovely bed and breakfast and I would return. The location is ideal for exploring the lake district without a car, although they do offer parking if you prefer to drive. The Hideaway is a short walk from the train station--about 10 minutes walk depending on how fast you walk. Similarly, you may walk to various bus stops in the area (they take contactless payment) as well as to Bowness--which is about 25-30 minutes walk away. The breakfast was good and the homemade cakes were also a very thoughtful touch. To get the cakes, you must now book direct with the Hideaway rather than through a third party. The rooms were clean, cozy, warm, and snug, exactly what you want after a long day of hiking. Overall, this was a very efficiently run bed and breakfast and I am very glad I stayed here.
We have stayed here twice now and have only amazing things to say about The Hideaway at Windermere. Staff are phenomenal providing amazing hospitality from when you first check in up until check out. Fantastic location with onsite parking which is really helpful. Stayed in different rooms each stay and both were incredibly clean, comfortable and spacious. Could not recommend this bed and breakfast enough for a getaway in the lakes!
The location, accommodations, and breakfast offerings were exceptional, providing a wide variety of choices. The homemade orange cake was particularly delightful.
The room was clean and bright, the staff were fantastic, breakfast was award winning. Parking was easy and the location is great for Windermere.
Book direct
Location is excellent for shops and restaurants, lovely grounds Food was lovely and staff were very attentive
stayed before and everything is still at a high standard. Plenty private parking and great quiet location
Warm, friendly place to stay in an excellent location. Great breakfast.
Nothing
Beautiful peaceful setting, attractive and well decorated property, large free car park set within its own grounds. Warm welcome and very friendly hosts. Breakfast exceeded our high expectations the quality of the ingredients were exceptional and if anything further was required it was no problem at all. Local amenities within easy walking distance.
Nothing
We have stayed at The Hideaway on numerous occasions, because we love it so much. Lovely staff, who are always so pleasant and helpful, and make you feel at home, as soon as you walk through the door. The en-suite rooms are comfortable and spotlessly clean, with contemporary furnishings and really comfortable beds. There are tea and coffee making facilities in each room. The breakfast, made with local produce, is outstanding, with so much choice to cater for every taste. Additionally, you can have complimentary homemade cake to enjoy on every day of your stay, when your booking is made directly through The Hideaway website. There is also ample free parking in the well maintained hotel grounds. The Hideaway is located in a very quiet area of Windermere village, with its variety of restaurants and shops, only a five minute walk away.
Good location good breakfast polite staff
From the 1st second we walked in to the last, we were looked after. Check in excellent, shown to our room & instructions given from breakfast, coming back into the hotel late at night & about local bars, restaurants around Windermere & how to catch the bus down into Bowness. The owner & staff couldn't do enough for us. Very clean, comfortable & ideal location.
Nothing.
A very welcome return to this lovely hotel situated in Windermere, set back from the hustle and bustle of the town, but only minutes walk away from everything that you'd need. Lisa (& Richard) and their team are 1st class when it comes to hospitality, with their friendly and professional service. The food choices were excellent too, with everyone catered for, which is very much appreciated. Can't wait for our next visit.
Location was perfect but peaceful
Step in our room could have been clearly marked
Great location , lovely hosts
Cracking host, lovely room and great breakfast
Very welcoming and comfortable place to stay
The service from the staff was above and beyond expected. From the moment we arrived, they made every effort to ensure we had a fantastic stay.
Everything was fantastic. Will definitely return.
It was beautiful
An excellent boutique hotel located in the centre of Windermere with ample parking with welcoming hosts. A superb breakfast with plenty of choice and service at breakfast is very efficient. Would definitely stay again and recommend to friends and family.
The Hideaway is a wonderful place to stay and very homely. The bed was extremely comfortable and breakfast was delicious. Richard and his staff were very welcoming and extremely hard working. The croissants given out at breakfast were a real added bonus. Thank you for making my first visit to the Lakes a very enjoyable one and I would love to stay at the Hideaway again, when I next visit.

Nothing
Absolute pleasure to have found this little gem to stay at for a few days Owners and Staff excellent, food really good quality and local knowledge was excellent. 4-5 minute stroll into Windemere town centre, a mile to Bowness and lake Windemere From the minute we arrived until we left it was perfect. Home made cakes daily was a great touch, we'll be returning soon
Breakfast and that special treat of a cake everyday was a lovely touch! the location was just perfect for us.
Slightly dated but it added to the charm
What an absolute gem. Located in a beautiful quiet area but close enough to all amenities. The best BnB breakfast we have had, prepared fresh and to your liking, great choice and plenty of it. Richard, Lisa and all staff super friendly, make you feel at home and very welcome. Fantastic value for money and we will be back. Can’t recommend enough. Fresh cakes daily… what a lovely treat thanks
What a wonderful, very clean hotel with unbelievable owners and staff. Nothing is a problem for them. The free cake was delicious, a great location with very quiet surroundings. We had a wonderful stay.
It is a real pleasure to visit the Hideaway
Location, our room, breakfast and the lovely staff
Nothing really
The property was lovely. Just of the main road but close to enough to everything so walking around was easy. Parking as well which is a bonus. The house has a lot of character. We went originally for the double but we’re upgraded to the king. The room was well appointed. Spiral staircase down to the bathroom. Big bath and walk in shower. Dressing gowns were a plus. My husband loved the breakfast. Staff were friendly and very helpful. Highly highly recommended
Nothing. Would cone again and recommend to friends and family
I liked the room and the breakfast
We had to pay for the coffee at the breakfast ,, we thought it was included.
Couldn’t fault it. Kind and helpful staff. Excellent bedroom, with a bath that filled rapidly - really important after exhausting days walking. Superb breakfast. The enthusiastic reviews are entirely justified
Clean and very friendly staff
