Weekend Break
A great find in the Lake District. The hotel was easy to find down a quiet street in Windermere. The room was cosy and clean and while compact (as described) it had everything we needed with the complimentary slice of cake each day a welcome bonus. The breakfast was amazing and staff were happy to accommodate any likes / dislikes around food. Definitely would return in the future.

The Hideaway was easy to get to with amazing service and comfortable rooms. Whatever questions we had, the receptionist or the owner were happy to answer and gave great advice on where to go in Windermere and the best ways to get there. Absolutely would recommend staying at the Hideaway.
