Set within a mid-19th century Victorian country house of traditional Cumbrian stone, The Hideaway is widely regarded for its high-quality boutique accommodation, warm hospitality and strong year-round appeal in one of the UK’s most sought-after leisure destinations.
Located just off a main route into the Lake District National Park, the property benefits from strong footfall with the area receiving around 18 million visitors per year, attracted by outstanding scenery, heritage and a strong local food and drink offer.
Well-presented and retaining a number of original period features, The Hideaway comprises of 11 en suite bedrooms as well as guest facilities such as a lounge area, bar and dining room. The property also comes with a private car park with 15 spaces, surrounding gardens and a self-contained three-bedroom owner’s accommodation.
Richard and Lisa Gornall, who have owned the property since 1991, are now looking to sell due to retirement, after continued investment in the hotel over many years.
They said, “We are so proud of everything our family has achieved at The Hideaway since 1991. As the second generation, we have continued to cherish this beautiful house, carefully curating and adapting to meet the needs of modern travellers.
“Many guests have been staying with us since the beginning, and we are so grateful for their support. Now in our 22nd season, our passion continues, but it's time to hand over the baton, and explore the next phase.”
The owners also noted that The Hideaway has secured planning consent to operate as a self-contained single-unit holiday let, which would provide an alternative income stream and hands-off approach for the new owner.
Graham Wilkinson, Senior Business Agent – Hotels at Christie & Co, commented, “Opportunities of this quality and scale in Windermere are rare. The Hideaway offers a compelling combination of boutique guest accommodation, excellent accessibility, and generous owner’s living space, making it an ideal lifestyle business within the Lake District National Park, with clear options for further growth.”
The Hideaway at Windemere is on the market freehold with an asking price of £1,500,000.
