I am italian and I live in UK for a long time. My girlfriend is italian and she lives in Italy near a zone with some famous lakes (Garda, Como, etc). As comparison, we had a very good impression of area and we spent a beautiful time to go around for shopping (windermere) and to get a relaxing walk around... More

Only stayed two nights, wish we could have stayed longer! It's in a great location, just a short walk from windermere town centre, easy to find, just off a main road and plenty of car parking space. We stayed in room number 4, which is a small double room with en suite. Very comfortable bed, warm and clean room, tv... More

It was a last minute decision to take an overnight trip to Windermere and the local area. Thanks to other reviewers, we found out about The Hideaway.

The location was great for public transport, but it's not so great if you are looking for a place with a fabulous view. However, the service well made up for... More

What can I say that hasn't already been said? This place really is lovely. We arrived into Windermere at midday on our arrival date and we were pleased to be advised our room was ready so we were able to check straight in. We had booked the mini double room 6, which was a small room but have had smaller... More

We stayed at the Hideaway for a weekend for my birthday in March, lucky for us the hottest weekend so far this year. I like really nice hotel rooms and was a bit gutted that both of the ultimate comfy rooms were booked. So I looked at other hotels and still felt that the hideaway was the one due to... More
