"Lovely country hotel experience, great location and fantastic breakfast"

"We stayed for two nights after booking what was advertised as a four‑star relaxing luxury spa hotel with spectacular views. Unfortunately, our experience fell far short of those expectations. On arrival, the hotel was clearly under renovation, with builders present and brick dust throughout parts of the property. The hotel is also located directly on a very busy main road, which significantly impacts the sense of peace and relaxation. While the reception and restaurant areas appear to have been recently refreshed, the remainder of the hotel feels tired and run down. We paid extra for a suite advertised with lake views; however, these views are only visible if standing up. When seated, the view is completely blocked by the wooden balcony. The balcony furniture was broken and unusable, and there were cobwebs above the bed that gave the room a neglected feel. The bathroom was extremely small, to the point that toiletries had to be stored in the bedroom, and there were visible holes and marks on the walls. Noise was another issue, with very thin walls and constant traffic noise from the road. The outdoor areas were unusable due to overgrown weeds and stored building materials, and there was no dock as shown in the hotel photos. The outdoor spa was closed due to the building works, and although indoor spa facilities were offered instead, guests had to walk through the hotel in swimwear as the changing rooms were also closed. The robes provided did not fit properly (I am a UK"

"Scenic view of the lake. Much appreciated"

"Lovely clean kings size room with own patio to sit and enjoy the sun. There’s about 4 different areas to park at . Staff very helpful and with a smile when serving also a bar and lounge to sit, we didn’t use it but it’s there"

"Great place to stay. Easy access instructions, beautiful room with comfortable bed and pillows. Plenty of light but also blinds work well for the morning sunrise. Would recommend and return. Cane as a solo traveller and felt safe, there was even a door stop lodge in the room to place under the door from the inside which gave me more comfort knowing I was on my own and no one could get in.

"Great food, lovely staff and great place and location to stay,"

"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 is outstanding, with so much choice, and in addition, you have complimentary homemade cake to enjoy on every day of your stay. 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 choice of various restaurants and shops, only a five minute walk away."

"Beautiful. Elegant. Imposing. The hotel is a stunning place to stay. We got an upgrade room overlooking the lake. Fantastic location in Bowness-on-Windermere and a hot buffet breakfast overlooking the lake in the morning."

"This is our second visit to this hotel. It is well placed for wandering around the area and boat trips. The bedroom was spotless and bed comfy. All staff friendly and attentive. Breakfast was fresh and tasty with plenty of choice "
