What our guests say

Having stayed in just about every other hotel in the Borrowdale Valley, we have been staying at the Hazel Bank Country House Hotel twice a year for the past 5 years. Our review is still as positive as it was the first time we stayed here. Gary and Donna are the perfect hosts, rooms are beautiful and comfortable, the views and area are amazing, and the food just gets better and better! Really don’t want to give the hotel too good a review, as we don’t want it booked up when we want to stay here, but can’t fault it!

What an amazing place, and what a fantastic boutique hotel. The owners have a splendid victorian house here, which they have renovated and are maintaining with a perfect sense of detail. Maybe the best hotel I have ever stayed at in the UK, especially since I attach so much importance to location, natural surroundings, quietness. a gem. congratulations and thanks to Donna, Gary and family.

We stayed at the Hazel Bank on dinner, bed and breakfast, whilst there were still Covid restrictions in place. The staff created and maintain a safe environment. Service was excellent. We loved the pre dinner hours d’oeuvres and drinks. We were in the Dale Head bedroom. Lovely views, comfortable and big enough. The breakfasts were excellent and we saw a red squirrel every day except one. The fixed menu changed every day and all the meals were beyond excellent. We are planning on returning and bring friends and family.

This was our first post-lockdown trip so we were unsure how it would work out. From the moment we were welcomed at the door by Gary we had a ball. We felt safe and so well cared for, everything done with warmth and consideration. Our room was so comfortable with a drop-dead view, our meals totally delicious and the company from the other eight guests very enjoyable. Being able to walk from the door in what, for us, is the best valley in the Lakes made for a perfect few days. Oh, and the Negroni is very special! The personal care given to everything that Donna, Gary and their family do makes Hazel Bank a great treat, at any time.

We cannot speak more highly of this fabulous country house hotel. We were there to celebrate our 44th wedding anniversary and it certainly did not disappoint! Our lovely hosts Gary and Donna cannot do enough for their guests and made us feel very special from the moment we arrived. All the rooms are beautifully appointed, immaculately and tastefully furnished. We enjoyed an amazing dinner experience commencing with canapes served in the lounge at 7pm and it just got better and better! There are some fabulous walks from the hotel so you need not move the car. We were very sorry to leave but my waistline needed to recover! Needless to say we have rebooked for July!!
