Very impressed with Hazel cottage. Exactly as described we stayed as 3 families 6 adults6 children plenty of room for everyone and the children loved exploring the communal back area. There were ample amenities throughout the cottage. We particularly enjoyed the welcome gift, all were local items which was a lovely touch. Thanks again for a lovely stay. We will definitely return.

This place is amazing! !! gorgeous cottage and perfect hide away for a lovely weekend in the lakes! there was 12 ladies there for 2 nights and it was perfect for us all and so much space!!

Deborah

We had an amazing family weekend to celebrate my 60th birthday. Its the second time I've stayed in one of the cottages and would definitely recommend to anyone .

Amanda

This accommodation was the best equipped for a large family group. Everything matched in the kitchen and you didnt have to wash the cups immediately as there was enough supply! The sofas while comfy, were a bit difficult to get off once you were in ! a very minor grumble! Thank you for a great stay.

Clear communication, had everything we needed, thanks so much for having us!

Leanne

This is our second stay at this property and once again we had a lovely time. The cottage like new and spotlessly clean. The hot tub was a welcome addition. We were given a late check out the following day, which was fantastic and allowed us not to rush. Thank you once again for a lovely stay we will be back.

jolyon

Absolutely amazing property, staff on site couldn't do enough for you. Very clean, perfect size and rooms for family of 12. Cannot fault anything. Definitely will return without any hesitation. Fantastic location, beautiful cottage, everything you could ask for and more.

Spotlessly clean and the owners had thought of everything. A tasteful christmas tree and wreath on our arrival was a lovely touch. Plenty of dishwasher tablets, tea towels and logs for the burner were all included. A couple of plastic plates and bowls for children which was so ideal. Just brilliant. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It exceeded our expectations.

Beverley

Fantastic property, very spacious & everything you need for your stay. Comfortable beds & a great shower. Will look forward to returning one day.

Michelle

Lovely property. It was my second time staying at this site. Was equipped with everything you needed. Beautiful location. Only 5 min drive to bowness windermere. We be definitely returning.

All the family had an amazing stay in Hazel Cottage. Very large, well equipped house with loads of room for a family up to 12 people. The cleanliness was second to non and Ive never slept in such a comfy bed in any holiday cottage before. The hot tub was a fabulous addition too. The surrounding area is beautiful and just nicely out of Bowness so very quiet. Nothing was too much trouble for the owners, we ordered pies from a local shop for our first night and they were already in the freezer when we arrived. Cannot recommend this place enough. Wonderful!

Philip

Excellent location and gorgeous property. We visited as a large family group for my fathers 60th birthday and had a great stay. The cottage was enjoyed by us all including the hot tub. Great location to Windermere and lovely local walks.

Rhiannon

This cottage was everything we wanted for our friend group reunion. The accommodation itself was well appointed and maintained. The kitchen was well equipped. The staff were so accommodating and welcoming, special thanks to Sarah for going above and beyond to help us!

An excellent week, the house was lovely, very clean and comfortable. A couple of little issues, sorted by Martin straight away. Dont think we should have had to collect all the laundry together for the price we paid! There were too many emails, I was inundated with them from Airbnb

Claire

Beautiful cottage. Fantastic facilities and location. The cottage was so spacious and clean. Fully equipped kitchen with everything we needed. The jacuzzi was lovely and well maintained. Great place for all my extended family to meet. Would highly recommend

Georga

Fabulous property for our family of 12. Beautiful and private location.Very spacious, clean and well equipped. The hot tub just outside the livingroom was perfectly positioned. The staff on site were very helpful and there was always someone nearby if needed. We have stayed in many properties over the years as a family and we could not find one fault with our stay here. We will definitely return!

This was a lovely cottage clean well equipped and lovely views. .....hot tub was a bonus and not far to walk from Bowness would highly recommend for a girlie get together, families with or without pets.

Thank you for a lovely stay. Easy communication with host. Great info pack. Will be looking into staying with you again!

Leslie

What a lovely property the children loved it we were very comfortable and how ... What a lovely property the children loved it we were very comfortable and how nice to relax in the hot tub after lots of climbing

Pauline

The cottage and location are amazing! Beds supercomfy! Hot tub very relaxing after a day out! In general the facilities were amazing though there were a few things tha could definitely be improved on. For example there were no small kitchen knives essential for many cooking tasks, no small glasses useful for fruit juice, only 3 plastic glasses! Most of the baking traysroasting tins need throwing away rusty and or scratched to bits, there were insufficient casseroles serving dishes. Only 2 casseroles and only one had lid! There was a colandersieve with a hole in the base might as well throw that out too and the large frying pan needs to be looked at the handle was loose and my husband tightened it so we could use it. A filter coffee machine would be useful and less messy than the cafetiere.

We stayed in Hazel cottage for a weekend, there were 3 families of four so 6 adults and 6 children. The cottage was perfect. The layout is really good with the open plan kitchen and dining area which has an extra area with a sofa and tv. The room at the back with the log burner was really nice and we could easily watch the kids in the hot tub which they absolutely loved. The bedrooms are really nice and you can ask for twins or double beds before you arrive. The location is great and really close to all the local attractions, we walked into town one day which was a nice walk. The only criticism I would have is when you search for properties on Sykes and Hazel comes up it clearly states no pets but when we arrived there were dog treats in the house and some old towels for drying dogs so we could have taken ours but instead we left them at home being looked after. It was a bit disappointing as its great to walk your dog in the lakes. One more tiny detail is the walk in the information pack in the cottage is not very easy to follow, the directions are wrong and it basically stops directions before you get to the town. It was a great weekend though and we will be staying again in the future.

Excellent accommodation for a large family. Comfortable, clean and spacious with everything we needed. Couple of small things that need attention are the grill on oven just smokes when turned on and the shaving socket in family room did not work. Other than that was exceptional. Thank you.

Harold

Great property with loads of space for our group 8adults, 2 children lots of bathrooms and toilets which is important for larger groups. Well located for walking or a quick drive into Bowness. Recommend the Brant fell walk.

Hilary

Had a wonderful stay in Hazel cottage, Very well equipped. Lovely welcome pack. Peaceful location and handy for exploring the Lakes. Only one thing to mention, was surprised that there weren't stairgates to keep our toddler safe. Perhaps these were something I should have requested ?

Samantha

The pictures do not do this cottage justice, it was lovely inside with beautiful grounds and even though there are other cottages nearby it didn't feel as though there were. Beds were very comfy and the staff very helpful, delivering our meat packs straight to the fridge. It takes around 30 minutes to walk into Bowness which as a group we were fine with. We would definitely stay again.

Overall stay was amazing, lovely place. More toilet paper could have been provided, not even 2 full rolls per bathroom. The ability to change the temperature would have been handy as it was extremely hot the entire time.

Kathryn

Absolutely outstanding. I wasnt really sure what to expect as the photos arent a true reality of what you get. What you get far outweighs the photos. Every inch of our lodge was clean and very well stocked with essentials I.e teacoffeecleaning essentials which was a nice touch compared to the likes of Center Parcs. Beautiful apartment, friendly and responsive staff. Beds are AMAZING, so comfortable and beautifully clean. Thanks so much, a perfect place to meet up with familyfriends. Would highly recommend and would love to return in the future.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Hazel Cottage. We were a group of 12 friends and there was plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for all of us. The beds were really comfortable and all except one could be separated to limit bed sharing! The kitchen was well equipped and open plan to the dining area to make catering a social event. We loved the hot tub, perfect for warming up after our swims in Windermere. We'd highly recommend staying at Hazel cottage, situated within walking distance of Bowness

Ashraf

Exemplary cottage, had all the facilities as stated on the listing. i required a downstairs living area, and i got that, with plenty of space to manoeuvre. i asked the owners for a ramp, to bring my wheelchair into the property and that was done with ease and no fuss. When i phoned the owner, he was very polite and easy to talk to, and helped us out, so very grateful to THE OAKS and will happily like to come again. If there was anything i would change it would be better if WIFI across the whole property, was consistently good, as it dropped a lot, and the seating areas had little or no connection. also directions to use the washing MachineDryer, as we had to guess parts of it. Thank You Ashraf

Ruqayyah

We booked the cottage for 2 families. The cottage was beautiful and so clean and the facilities provided were excellent. The rooms were comfy an spacious. Kids really enjoyed the hot tub an the large garden to play. Wonderful staff an customer care any issues were dealt with straight away.Already planning our next stay.

Excellent stay, very clean and amenities provided. Great place for a large group to stay, with no ample space. Beautiful location, very close to the town. Cant fault it !

Great property for a large group. Loads of seating Hot tub good fun. Gave the visiting ducks names

Victoria

10 of us visited for the weekend to celebrate my 40th birthday! We had such a fabulous weekend, the house is fabulous, hot tub great, beds comfy. The only thing we would criticise is the door locking system, there was an incident whilst we were there which we feel couldve been avoided had the door had a proper lock rather than a key card system.

Our whole holiday was 5 star, the comfortable roomy cottage Hazel, hot tub, cleanliness, facilities even the weather. Cant wait to return.

Great location and all roomsfurniture modern and roomy, i would recommend new photos of downstairs dining table etc as think the place is better than the photos and we were all pleasantly suprised at how it looked. Only negative was Hot tub was extremely hot and some of the party could not use. Everything else was great will come again for sure,

Daniel

House was amazing, we had 4 families, 3 of which had little ones and it was perfect for own space and each bedroom having own bathroomshower facilities! Location fantastic as only 1 mile from Bowness! This place as everything you need, iron, travel cot, high chair, etc! Only thing missing was bin liners! Sheep and ducks visit every morning out the back of the cottage! Would certainly recommend this place!!!

Impressive property, attention to detail and better and bigger in real life. Would definitely recommend!

Brogan

I cant wait to book this property again. I actually cant pick a fault with anything at all. The cleanliness was outstanding, the beds were super comfy, very spacious, the location was great!
