Located just behind the village of Windermere sits a secret treasure which truly lives up to its name. The Hideaway at Windermere, a restaurant with rooms, is a beautiful Victorian Lakeland home, surrounded by peace, yet in the heart of it all in the beautiful Lake District. Windermere, at 10.5 miles long, one mile wide and 220 feet deep, is the largest natural lake in England and is fed by numerous rivers. The Romans built their fort of GALAVA at its northern end (Waterhead). Bowness-on-Windermere - Lakeland's most popular holiday resort - is an excellent centre for boating activities, with over 10,000 boats registered. Until March 2005 Windermere was the only lake without a speed limit, but a 10 mph limit has now been imposed. Steamers and launches operate from Bowness Bay to Waterhead at Ambleside and Lakeside at the southern end. At the southern end is Lakeside Pier and Lakeside Station of the Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway and also the Aquarium of the Lakes. Built in 1890, the house boasts many original Victorian features, including ornate, stone window frames and a geometric tiled hallway. Ever evolving, we blend traditional styles with contemporary influences to create a relaxed, warm welcoming atmosphere. Within easy reach of the best of Lakeland, yet quietly tucked away from it all, The Hideaway is perfect for a weekend retreat, a mid week break, or a Lakeland get together with family friends.
