Summary: This was the most glorious hideaway - we didn't want to leave! It's a wonderfully curated and comfortable space with so many lovely touches. The host couldn't do enough for you. We're already planning our return!
Siobhan C. Jan 16, 2024 03:12:19 AM
Summary: 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.
Wendy W. Aug 31, 2023 04:08:27 PM
Summary: 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!

Summary: A beautifull hideaway in a very secluded setting, the hosts are wounderful helpful and very friendly people, and there holiday cottage is all you ask and more fully equipped clean and luxurious. We do have to mention the wild life as the squirrel was most entertaining. Once again thankyou to our hosts
Joanna R. Jul 14, 2023 01:43:04 PM
Summary: 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.
Laura W. May 8, 2023 10:34:57 PM
Summary: We are just returning from the most wonderful weekend in Windsor. This is such a beautiful property. The attention to detail is amazing as are the hosts Suzie and Hamish can't wait to return!
Christie G. Dec 28, 2022 05:52:13 AM
Summary: 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!
Joanna R. Apr 25, 2022 05:16:21 PM
Summary: My husband and I have stayed at The Little Hideaway 3 times now, and wouldn’t stay anywhere else in Windsor. It’s truly fabulous, so well equipped, lovely gardens, peaceful and quiet, highly recommended. Hamish and Susie are the best hosts. Would give 10 stars!!
Apr 8, 2022 03:29:06 PM
Summary: 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.)
James C. Oct 20, 2021 06:02:36 PM
Summary: 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 +++
