Have you discovered The Hideaway yet?

Antique Chocolate display in foyer of the boutique Hideaway at Windermere

The Rowntree’s Chocolate Box was found by Lisa in a local antique sale; “…As soon as I saw it, I knew we could design the whole Bar area around it, and we did!”  Now it display’s our homemade cakes instead of chocolates; from one sweet job to another!
