this is the worst hotel i have ever been to. Me and my boyfriend booked a weekend away to windermere for a walking hoilday, when we arrived at the hotel we payed for the accomidation , as we where taken to are room we got told that we have to leave striaght away and have a full refund . because in a conversation my boyfriend was having with the hotel owner he told her that he had had 1!!!!! drink on the train ( we had to travel on 3 trains ). we told her that it was 2hours ago he wernt drunk and also we would go on a 2hour walk then return, the owner replied by saying nothing but no sorry total refund!!!!!! we where left stranded with no where to go feeling very distressed and upset. the owners of this hotel have a very hostaile attitude how could any human do that to someone that has come away on a nice relaxing hoilday!? because we had payed on a dedit card we had to wait 3 days for are refund to come through so we where left with no money to pay for another accomidation. The owners of this hotel maid this weekend a nightmare for us.

We booked The Hideaway Hotel through the tourist information in Cumbria and were pleasantly surprised to have found such a fabulous hotel at the last minute!
The hotel is in Windermere, a 5 minute walk to the centre, and is within a 30 minute walk to the lake at Bowness.
The hotel is easy to find although tucked away in a quiet lane. The staff are very friendly and helpful, the rooms comfortable and clean and the food was excellent. We had breakfast and evening meal which is well worth staying in for and very good value for money as it is all fresh home cooked food.
Overall I would definately recommend this hotel to anyone. It was a delight!

The Hideaway Hotel is a 15 room country hotel in Windermere.
(not to be confused with Bowness on Windermere)
It is a family run buisness, the staff are all really friendly, the rooms (I saw some of the other rooms as they were being cleaned) are all of a decent size, clean and well decorated and the food is delicious.
One of the rooms is a honeymoon suite which boasts a four poster bed, jakuzzi and a private terrace.
