  • "Fantastic holiday."

    ...lovely cottage, beautifully clean. Ideally, we could have done with a couple more baking trays for in the oven (but there was plenty of everything else, the kitchen was very well stocked) We arrived in the dark and couldn't t find the name of the cottage on the windowsill...we were confused as we avoided what turned out to be the correct gate as it had another name on it. Half an hour early, and in the light , we'd have been fine !

    Nice secure garden for the dogs and the outdoor lighting is perfect. Nice quiet location but lovely walks from the door and close to everything you could need.

  • "We both really enjoyed our stay at Ada’s hideaway."

    It’s such a beautiful property, we especially liked the reverse living. With the living room upstairs so you could appreciate the views of the fields and horses. The main bathroom was lovely with a beautiful waterfall shower plus separate shower too. The beds were so comfortable, we honestly haven’t slept so well! We’d love to know what mattresses they are.The only thing missing is a dressing table and mirror in the master bedroom. I used a separate room to get ready which had a mirror. I’d have rated 5 stars if it had this. Also, a big coffee table would be nice in the living room. These are things are can easily be changed though so that’s just me being “picky”. Other than that, I’d highly recommend ADA’s hideaway, beautiful location, lovely and quiet and so comfortable. Thank you so much for such a lovely peaceful week which we both really needed.

  • "Brilliant stay at Ada's Hideaway, lovely spot located down country lanes yet only 10/15 minutes from Kendal."

    Loved the accommodation, dog friendly & toddler friendly. House was clean, tidy & very comfortable beds, it had everything you could need. We loved the view of the horses & the hills. Would definitely stay again. (One small point- little tricky to find the house on arrival, maybe a sign might be beneficial out near the entrance of the track?)

    ! Everything was extremely clean, the location was fab, they had everything you needed. The fire was perfect and the sofas were so comfy. The beds were huge in every room and we all had a great nights sleep! There were 6 adults, 1 toddler and a dog and we all had plenty of room and definitely didn’t feel like we were living on top of each other. Would highly recommend staying here!

    Beautiful bedding and hand soaps! The enclosed outside area was great for the dogs. At the time we were there we could not get the outside tap to work, and the fan in the en-suit bathroom appeared not to be working. There is no management on site, and we could not find a phone number for anyone at Sykes, so we could not contact anyone to resolve any problems. Sykes emails are sent from a no reply email address.

    Two ever so tiny things, the catch on the garden gate was sticking and quiet hard to get in and out of & also the duvets were a bit too heavy, but that’s just being picky! A great property.

  • "We had a really lovely short break at Aida’s Hideaway."

    It was a peaceful location on a farm, with horses in the fields for a view. The inside was beautifully decorated and equipped with everything you would need. The beds were super comfortable and bathrooms were super and clean. Highchair and travel cot available to use. Nice canal walk with the dogs a short distance from farm. Half an hours drive to Windermere were we hired a boat for couple of hours, which was good fun. Would certainly return again, hopefully for a longer stay next time.

  • "My family have just spent an amazing weekend at Ada’s hideaway and highly recommend this property."

    The property is set within a horse rehabilitation farm which was very quiet and tranquil. The barn was spotlessly clean and has everything you need to make your holiday extra special. The kitchen included all necessities and more. We had planned to eat out each evening but in the end cooked and stayed in as the facilities were so good. Each evening we ate outside in the garden. Each bedroom was very comfortable with high quality bedding and towels. The en-suite, bathroom and cloakroom are modern and very clean. The lounge had a wonderful view of the fields and a log burning stove which would be great to use in winter. I can’t recommend this property enough and look forward to staying there again soon.

    The only downside to this property is that it is only accessible along stretches of single file country roads. If you are a nervous driver or not that confident behind a wheel then I would certainly think twice before choosing it.

The property

Tucked away amidst south Lakeland rural countryside in the quaint village of Stainton near Sizergh is Ada's Hideaway.

This breath-taking barn conversion benefits from a spacious, stylish and reverse-level interior with a woodburning stove, Juliet balcony with countryside views and three well-appointed ground-floor bedrooms as well as a spectacular location close to the market town of Kendal and the wonders of the Lake District National Park while being encompassed by the tranquillity of the countryside; the perfect choice for families or friends looking to explore Cumbria.

Underfloor heating runs throughout the bedrooms and ground floor perfect for those cosy nights in.

Head up the steps and make your way inside your new home-from-home to find a welcoming living/dining room with a crackling woodburning stove at its heart; unwind here on the plush blue sofa in front of the Smart TV or simply admire the views across the countryside from the floor to ceiling windows.

Later, head into the fully-equipped kitchen to rustle up a delicious meal to enjoy around the dining table or downstairs on the patio outside, perfect for an alfresco affair.

When the sky darkens over Ada's Hideaway, head back inside to wash off the day in the ground-floor bathroom before sloping off to sleep in either the super-king-size (zip/link) with handy en-suite, the king-size or the double; all equipped with Smart TVs for lazy mornings. If you can tear yourself away from this idyllic bolthole, head into the nearby village of Sizergh where you can stock up on all of your self-catering essentials at the local farm shop or treat your loved ones to a meal out at The Strickland Arms.

Continue north to find the iconic town of Kendal, immerse yourself in the area’s part by touring the Kendal Museum and the stunning ruins of Kendal Castle; the town also acts as a gateway to the impressive Lake District National Park. Outdoor enthusiasts will be in their element here thanks to the abundance of walking and hiking routes through picturesque countryside or up impressive hills including Old Man Coniston, Orrest Head and Scafell Pike; try something a little more unique by taking to the water of Lake Windermere on canoes, kayaks and even paddle boards! All this and more awaits at Ada's Hideaway!
