Lisa's Top Baking Tips

Lisa's Top Baking Tips

As you may or may not know, Lisa here at the Hideaway is a huge fan of baking and treats all of our guests to delicious afternoon tea every day of their stay.

Her cakes are the best around, baked with love, care and attention and after much cajoling we’ve managed to persuade her to share her best baking secrets with our blog readers- just in time for the GBBO final this evening!

So without further ado, here are Lisa’s top five baking tips:

The Royalty Cinema, A Gem in The Heart of Bowness-on-Windermere

On a dark, rainy evening in Windermere there are some lovely things to do. One of them, just down the road in Bowness, is to enjoy an evening at the beautiful and independent Royalty Cinema.

Built in 1926 and opened as the public hall it was originally designed to provide a cinema, theatre and a place to dance for the people of Windermere. It was renamed ‘The Royalty’ in 1930 and has remained as such ever since. In 1955, the building was converted specifically into a cinema, the dressing rooms as they were became the foyer and toilets, the 65 seat circle lounge followed later.
