“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 ...

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
Christina March 2024

“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.

- Christina, March 2024

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. We are blown away by your review, and we do agree with all you say. Hideaway Cottage has a little place in our hearts. Look forward to seeing you again Alan & Heather Property Owner
Michael February 2024

“Alan and Heather are wonderful hosts.”

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!

- Michael, February 2024

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. No need to drive for a night out if you stay at Hideaway Cottage everywhere is in easy walking distance. And happy belated birthday wishes! We will look forward to your return visit Property Owner
Stacey February 2024

“Hideaway cottage is a beautiful little gem nuzzled away in the town of Penrith.”

It was everything we were looking for and more. The attention to detail and the super cosy vibes made it the relaxing break that we needed. The owners were helpful and reassuring that they were on hand if we needed anything, and we felt very welcome. If in the area again we will definitely choose to stay again.

- Stacey, February 2024

Thank you Stacey for your kind feedback. We are delighted you enjoyed your stay. We do try our best to make the Cottage welcoming for our guests, we want them to have a relaxing stay. Lovely to hear you’d be happy to stay again. Alan & Heather Property Owner

Catherine November 2023

“I cannot praise this cottage enough.”

Everything has been thought about with great care and attention. The welcome pack was a lovely touch. The owners were in contact before, during and after just to make sure everything was ok. It was ideally situated both for Penrith and further afield. We will definitely be back!

- Catherine, November 2023

Hi Catherine. Thank you for your kind review, we agree we are situated in a great location. Everything is on our doorstep, nothing to far away. You would be welcome back anytime, and remember the train and bus station are only minutes away if you don’t feel like driving. Alan & Heather Property Owner
Malcolm September 2023

“Had a wonderful stay in this cosy cottage.”

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.

- Malcolm, September 2023

Oh how kind, such lovely feedback. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay with us. You didn’t have the best weather. We would love to host you again and maybe next time the sun will shine for you. Alan & Heather Property Owner

Hannah June 2023

“Such a beautiful home and location.”

Worth the stay just to drink in the beautiful indoor and outdoor decor! Easy to find with the directions given, Alan and Heather took the upmost care with making sure we had a comfortable and enjoyable stay. Instructions for use of kitchen facilities as well as tv, bathroom and rubbish disposal, were all easy to follow and much appreciated. The cleanliness of the home and overall standard is second to none. Cannot recommend the Hideaway Cottage enough and we will be back. Thanks again!

- Hannah, June 2023

We are so pleased you choose our Hideaway for your “mini moon” and thank you for taking the time to write such a lovely review. We would love to welcome you both back to Hideaway Cottage, (perhaps the same time next year)? Property Owner

Celia January 2023

“TOP NOTCH This cottage has been furnished and kitted out with obvious care and taste by the owners.”

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. Can’t wait to return

- Celia, January 2023

Hi Celia, Fantastic feedback, thank you so much for your kind words. We are delighted you enjoyed your stay with us and your time in Penrith. We would be glad to host you again. Heather & Alan Property Owner

Andy December 2022

“What a little gem this cottage is.”

From the really convenient location to the beautiful and very tasteful decor. We had a wonderful time and really enjoyed our festive break, the Christmas decorations were lovely and really set the scene. We were delighted by the provisions which were very generous and even got a beautifully wrapped present just for us. The parking arrangements set by the council are workable once you understand how it works and there are plenty of car parks within a two minute walk. All-in-all, highly recommended.

- Andy, December 2022

Thank you so much for your lovely words. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay with us. It’s was Hideaways first Christmas this being our first season. It’s lovely to know we got it right for you. Glad you had a lovely stay, we would be delighted to host you again. Alan & Heather Property Owner

Stuart September 2022

“Hideaway cottage is the loveliest little “town house” I have stayed in.”

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.

- Stuart, September 2022

Thank you Stuart, what a fantastic review. We are so pleased when people love our little cottage as much as we do. Like you say, The Lake District has the most stunning scenery and is only a short drive from the cottage. We would love to host you again if you are ever back in the area. Heather & Alan Property Owner
Peter August 2022

- Peter, August 2022

Hi Peter, Thank you for your positive review. I take it you meant “decorated to a very high standard”. We would be delighted to host you again if you ever return to the Lakes. Alan & Heather Property Owner
Chris July 2022

“Hideaway Cottage was a perfect stay to explore North Lakes area.”

It had everything that we needed to enjoy a homely stay. Exceptionally maintained and comfortable, in a perfect location in Penrith, close enough to shops, pubs and cafes but a quiet haven too!

- Chris, July 2022

Hi Chris, Thank you for the review. We are pleased you enjoyed your stay with us and would love to host you again. Heather & Alan Property Owner
Katy July 2022

“This is an excellent property in terms of amenities, cleanliness and style.”

It's location to the town centre, shops, places of interest and transport links is fantastic for those not wishing to take a car, but provision has also been made for people who do drive. The hosts are incredibly helpful and friendly and quite rightly take pride in the standard that they have reached in renovating this cottage. A lovely quite place to relax and in my case to work from for a few days break. Could have stayed longer without a problem! Looking forward to a return visit and will be recommending to friends and family.

- Katy, July 2022

Thank you Katy for the lovely review. We are pleased you enjoyed your stay and we look forward to welcoming you to Hideway Cottage again. Alan & Heather Property Owner
Alan June 2022

“Wow! Where do I begin.”

As soon as we arrived at Hideaway Cottage we knew it was going to be special and it was. So beautifully decorated with exceptional attention to detail. Every piece of furniture and accessory had been carefully chosen creating a stunning cosy welcoming cottage. It is by far the best holiday accommodation we have ever stayed in. It was a joy to return to each day. Very quiet location but minutes from the town with a good range of independent shops and variety of supermarkets. I would have no hesitation in recommending Hideaway Cottage to future holidaymakers. It certainly made our holiday very enjoyable. Looking forward to planning a return visit.

- Alan, June 2022

About the location

PENRITH

Keswick 17 miles; Carlisle 20 miles.

The bustling market town of Penrith, once the capital of Cumbria, enjoys a central position between the Lake District, the Westmoorland Dales and North Pennines and is ideally placed for taking in all that the region has to offer. Renowned for its wealth of specialist shops, the sandstone buildings of Penrith hide intriguing yards, lanes and alleyways, with a myriad of attractive cottages, gardens and little shops. With a wide choice of excellent pubs, hotels, restaurants and entertainment, Penrith also offers a museum, and Millennium Trails round the historic city streets. Within easy reach of the town is Rheged – an innovative visitor centre with shops, restaurants, exhibitions and a giant cinema screen showing educational and informative films. Brougham Castle, Brougham Hall (The Windsor of the North), Lowther Castle and Gardens, Long Meg and her daughters (the 3rd largest stone circle in England) and the historic city of Carlisle are all a short drive away, as is the stunning scenery of both the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales.
