  Ideal as a starting point for days out within the Lake District and then in the evening go out for dinner or catch a film in the cinema around the corner. The cottage really had everything we needed and had a cosy feel.

  Immaculate and comfortable. The hosts are so nice and immediately responded giving us tips and advice. So central to everything, infact, we didn't use our car and did plenty of walking. We also got the bus into Keswick one day and enjoyed the scenery en route. Would love to stay again. Penrith has everything you could ask for.

  Such a beautiful home and location. Few lovely treats when we arrived. Fresh milk, tea,coffee biscuits. Easy to find with the directions given. Car parking around the corner. All the Instructions for use of kitchen facilities as well as tv, bathroom, log fire and rubbish disposal, were all easy to follow and much appreciated. Pristinely clean. Contact with the owners was excellent from start to finish. Near to the center of Penrith so not far to walk to the shops and flat as I struggle with walking far.

• "So much to say about Hideaway."

  It was the best cottage I have ever stayed in (and I've stayed in a few). The cottage exceeded all of my expectations and had everything that you would need and more. For a starter the house is stunning. And perfectly equipped, in fact the kitchen was better equipped than my own! The house was immaculately presented, and I appreciated the lovely little touches left by the owners (Easter bunny and egg for my 6yr old and lots of lovely Easter charm around the house). We had no issues but weirdly had a smoke alarm activated by itself. I really appreciated the hosts came out swiftly to inspect it. Speaking of hosts...Alan and Heather are so thoughtful. Great communication beforehand, and I appreciated that they checked I had made it to the house OK. I also appreciated being shown how to use the log fire which was a lovely touch. They did everything to make us feel at home. Sky, games, radio, Alexa and lovely goodies in the kitchen which went down a treat. I honestly have no negatives and absolutely will be back!

  Hi Merrisha, That is fabulous feedback, we are delighted you were so happy with our little Cottage. And for you to say it exceeded your expectations is wonderful to hear. We like to decorate for special occasions and to have a child arrive at Easter made it all worth while. We would be delighted to welcome you back anytime. Alan & Heather Property Owner

• "What an amazing cottage."

  Absolutely outstanding. It really felt like home. Beautifully decorated with each room complimenting the next. Everything to the finest detail has been thought of here. The living room is so relaxing with a fantastic log burner that just makes the end of the day perfect. Such a serene room to relax in. The kitchen is gorgeous with everything you could possibly need. With little touches and a welcoming gift which was truly appreciated. The bathroom, oh the bathroom, with a large bath to soak away any troubles and an amazing shower for a fresh start to the day. The beds are so comfortable and cosy, and after a long day is just what you need. Very private if you want a break from the world. The beautiful Penrith town center is literally a minutes walk away, and the train and bus station a few short minutes walk. Alan & Heather are very welcoming and on hand throughout our stay if needed. I could go on forever about how amazingly perfect the cottage is. We will most definitely stay here again.

  Wow Christina Thank you so much for such kind words. We are delighted you enjoyed our little Cottage, we have tried to make it as comfortable as we can for our guests.

  They are super attentive, more than any host we’ve ever had, and have created an amazing cottage retreat, second to none. The cottage itself is stunning and has everything you’d need for a chilled day/night in, or to use as a base for exploring the lakes. It’s worth trusting the recommendations in the arrival book too! La casita is amazing for Spanish Tapas! Great way to spend an awesome birthday weekend with my wife. We’ll be back!

  Thank you Mike & Jackie, that’s great feedback. We always try to make our guests feel welcome and also try to be on hand for any advice, recommendations etc. La casita has been very popular with our guests and so handy.

  Decor is beautiful and everything in the property is of high quality. Very peaceful as it is tucked away from busy areas. Owners take an interest in if you arrived safely and are readily available if needed. Left lovely welcome goodies which is a nice touch. Added bonus is having Sky Tv and Netflix for a night snuggled up infront of the wood burning fire which was great as weather not the best. Hope to return so we can explore the Lakes more and have a lovely place to stay.

  All the interior and exterior fittings are of best quality, It was a joy to return here every day after fell walking. Spotlessly clean, warm, great shower and bath and comfy seating in front of the log burner. Very comfortable bed with finest bedding. Located centrally in town but amazingly quiet due to location at the end of the yard. We had very clear and timely information from the owners to aid us finding it and a lovely welcome pack. There is also a much appreciated supply of initial wood for the fire and the fire was made and ready to light. Also plenty of tea, coffee, milk in the fridge and cleaning products Penrith itself is a quirky old market town with plenty and varied shops, restaurants and pubs and very friendly local people.

  It’s quiet, cozy, just a few steps away from the centre of Penrith and a short drive from some of the most stunning scenery in the UK. Everything you need in a holiday home is at Hideaway Cottage. A beautifully appointed kitchen complete with a dishwasher and a washing machine, a lovely log burner in the very cozy lounge, a comfy bed in a spacious bedroom and even a cute Hare holding the bathroom door open for you. The whole cottage has been carefully renovated and decorated to bring it up to modern day standards without losing the appeal of an older property. If you are looking for a comfortable place to rest after spending the day hiking or sight seeing in the Lake District, then I recommend you go to Hideaway Cottage.

  Thank you Stuart, what a fantastic review. We are so pleased when people love our little cottage as much as we do.
