"Amazing place to stay. First time staying in a B&B having favoured hotel stays in the past and what a nice change in made.
From the warm and friendly welcome and throughout the 3 day stay everything met or exceeded our expectations.
The room (Burley) at the top of the house was amazing with a roll top bath in the room, the most comfortable of bed and just the ambiance of the house made the experience even better.
Breakfast was lovely and the hosts were super friendly too."
"Enjoyed a great 3 night stay at the Hideaway. This is a true Bed & Breakfast. Our bed was comfortable and our private bath had been nicely modernized with helpful shelves and racks. The breakfasts were prepared to order from a balanced menu. The staff was friendly and very accommodating. Due to the rain we did not get to enjoy the outside sitting area but it looked inviting. The bedroom itself was a bit tight, but we had small roller bags so we were able to situate everything - would have been...
"Clean, comfortable room, rather spacious, and overlooking the lake. Located at the heart of Bowness on Windermere, close to the promenade. The only drawback was the breakfast- one had to queue to access the breakfast lounge, and the staff was utterly disorganised, making mistakes etc."
"Strange entrance to our room as had to hold the fire door open and room door to get the cases in.
Room was clean as was bathroom although bath panel very scruffy.
Due to the style of sink turning the tap on causes a tidal wave and wets you through so have to use cautiously!
Had to pay for parking as didn’t book directly with hotel."
