  • "We really enjoyed our stay at Hidden Gem."

    The apartment had everything we needed for our stay and was very comfortable. Loved the decor. It has the largest bed we had ever slept in. We had a delicious breakfast on 2 days at Applegarth Villa watching the sun burn the clouds off over the hills. Hidden Gem is right in the middle of Windermere so everything was right on our doorstep and having parking at Applegarth was so handy. We would recommend Windermere Wine Stores for a relaxing place to sit and drink which is opposite the apartment (next to Tilley's) as well as Cafe Italia for an evening meal. We would love to return to Hidden Gem in the future.

  • "Hidden Gem is nestled between shops and restaurants overlooking the high street."

    Down the side of a Bistro, you’ll enter the property then up the stairs where you’ll walk into the main accommodation. We were quite impressed with this cozy, modern and well laid out rental. Extremely comfortable (especially the bed), we found this an ideal place to be centrally located. If you’re walking, exploring (local and surrounding areas), Windermere is an ideal location that is well served by various bus routes - leaving you to admire the view instead of driving. Being able to use the Applegarth Hotel for secure parking gives peace of mind and a very short walk to the accommodation. After a long day out and where situated, Hidden Gem offers close proximity to restaurants, takeaways and convenient shops - to eat in or out. This is the first time we’ve rented any holiday accommodation as we normally stay at the Applegarth Hotel. Would we rent this again - yes we would.
