Fabulous

The Little Hideaway is the most wonderful place to stay. Peaceful, gorgeous gardens, extremely well equipped. We wouldn’t stay anywhere else, when in Windsor. Oh, and the owners are the loveliest couple, who go out of their way to make sure that your stay is the best.

We cannot thank Hamish and Susie enough for their warm welcome and their kindness way above and beyond. The perfect hosts.It was the perfect haven of rest that we needed before and after our son’s wedding.They had thought of everything and we wanted for nothing. The linen was crisp and luxurious and the towels were fluffy and soft. And for someone who really appreciates fragrance, the linen and towels and the hideaway smelt beautiful. Thank you so much Hamish and Susie. We will be back!

Wonderful

Just back from a wonderful weekend! Hamish was the perfect host. The best welcome pack ever !!!! Pictures do not do little Hideaway justice. I don’t think there would be anything you could need or want and it not be there. Absolutely Spotless and in a perfect location. We cannot recommend highly enough and given the opportunity will be back.

Absolute perfection! The property is stunning. Beautiful and comfortable furnishings. The proximity to Windsor Park made for many lovely walks. The cottage is fully stocked with every convenience and we were greeted with a splendid basket of treats and delectable food.Hamish and Susie are the most fantastic of hosts. They were always available to assist with things to do, transportation questions etc. Anything we needed was provided.The property provides privacy and seclusion while still being centrally located for activities.If you are considering this property, look no further and book. You won’t regret it.We look forward to returning to this oasis of enchantment. Thank you Hamish and Susie!

Short, but Sweet!

Hamish welcomed us with wonderful stories and open arms! Such a lovely greeting that reflected the beauty of the surroundings. We enjoyed a wonderfully comfortable stay, and our only regret is that we didn't have more time to enjoy Old Windsor and the local area. The location was convenient to Windsor Castle and all that is Windsor, but we were especially pleased with the day we spent walking Windsor Park. It was worth trekking to the Copper Horse to appreciate the expanse of the Long Walk. You will not regret booking this Little Hideaway. The bed was comfortable, the kitchen was gourmet equipped, and the welcome basket was much appreciated. Thank you Hamish and Susie for sharing your little slice of heaven in Old Windsor!

The Perfect Fairy Tale Christmas

My husband, my 8 month old daughter, and I spent our first Christmas as a family of three at this little hideaway. It was perfect!! This cottage is very charming and Hamish and Susie had decorated it so beautifully for the holidays. Their hospitality was amazing as well. It is so quaint and you can truly detach from the world and just enjoy being there. I’d highly recommend this to anyone!

Enchanting English Country Estate and Garden

By far the most enchanting property we have stayed. The hosts, Susie and Hamish are long time residents and can be found tending to their beautiful gardens while the pheasant and geese hobble about. You can see Windsor castle and the royal, long walk. Parks and hikes abound along with amazing pubs and fine dining. We would definitely return as this has been one of the most tranquil and relaxing and yes, beautiful places we have ever stayed, and we have traveled far and wide. Rita & Ted (from U.S.)

Hurry up and stay at this magical place!

The Little Hideaway was our first stop upon arrival in England from California, and a softer landing is impossible to imagine. Susie and Hamish’s place is perfect, and gorgeous, and they’ve thought of and provided absolutely everything one could want for a cozy and elegant sojourn in stately Old Windsor. On top of ample and thoughtful amenities, they even left us a hamper of food and wine sufficient for a couple of days. We recommend The Little Hideaway most highly. Don’t miss this place! We’ll be back! Five stars +++

An AMAZING experience

Hamish & Susie were absolutely incredible! From start to finish this was the most incredible stay i’ve ever had & we loved it so much that, we’re going to come back every year! The started pack they provided was an amazing touch & ensured we didnt have to spend too much time away from this beautiful cottage. So many memories were made here & we can only begin to thank them both. Thank you for an INCREDIBLE couple of days.

A Sister's Getaway

This is my second stay at The Little Hideaway and I can't imagine staying anywhere else when visiting London. The Hideaway is conveniently located close to Heathrow Airport yet you dont feel close at all. The property is stunning. The English garden is magical. The Hideaway is cozily decorated and has everything you need. Hamish and Susie are hands down the best hosts. They have gone above and beyond in every aspect. They are happy to offer suggestions for things to do and delicious restaurants. The location is close to everything. (About 1 hour from Highclere Castle) The LIttle Hideway does not disappoint. In fact, you'll be disappointed if you don't stay here!

Best HomeAway experience ever!

The Little Hideaway is absolutely lovely and a large part of why we had such a great vacation! No special touch was overlooked, from the array of soft blankets to the luxurious towels. Hamish was indeed the most gracious host with incredible knowledge and pride in the area. Great recommendations for restaurants and a beautifully stocked welcome basket when we arrived! While we were there to see Windsor Castle, Hamish and Susie's true calling is weddings and I can't imagine a more romantic and special place for such an occasion. They are passionate about making your stay great and I'm sure any wedding on their property would be perfect!

The Perfect Getaway

We loved our stay at the Little Hideaway. We had such a warm welcome from Hamish and Susie, greeted by fairy lights, a lovely hamper and lots of helpful advice about the area. The property is beautifully renovated, with a real eye for attention to detail. It is extremely comfortable and well equipped with everything you could need. The local area has so much to offer. We walked into Windsor which is about an hour but a lovely route through the Park and straight up to the Castle. We would recommend a visit to the castle, we joined a guided tour which had lots of interesting history. We had lunch at the small but very welcoming Two Brewers pub right by the castle. We also did walks and some running in Windsor Great Park, so much to explore there we need to visit again! We also visited 2 local pubs, The Fox and Hounds and The Bailiwick, both very good. Definitely five stars all round!

A fabulous property n in a beautiful setting

We loved our stay at the hideaway Little Dower house. Very comfortable bed and lovely bed linen. It is a very cosy and well furnished property. A little food hamper of bread,eggs, milk, wine and more were very thoughtful and thoroughly enjoyed. There is a beautiful walled garden and lovely views over the countryside. We highly recommend a stay at this perfect location. Susie and Hamish are great hosts and we are returning later this month.

Idyllic escape

Words can not describe how lovely this cottage is! Two friends and I stayed here for our 40th birthday getaway. The cottage was cozy, luxurious and beautifully appointed; the beds so comfortable; the shower is fantastic; the welcome pack full of sumptuous treats and all set in a gorgeous English country setting of geese, horse and endless greenery. Hamish and Suzie could not have been more generous and welcoming as hosts. We loved it so much that we can not wait to return again together and also with our own families. 5 stars is not enough!
