This was our 11th+ visit since 2014 and yet another wonderful week. As usual a warm welcome, comfortable room, good food and as a bonus Gary had organised dry and sunny Lakeland weather. You think that at 5star standards cannot get better but they do. We have already rebooked for May 2020.

We returned for the 6th time; this time to celebrate a major birthday. It was fantastic as always. Gary and Donna are great hosts and Darren, the chef, produced superb food. We even had sunshine every day giving us brilliant views from the summits.
We will return! Thank you

I’m often on travelling across Europe for business or relaxing. But here I´m still sharing the opinion, normally you should be quiet, to keep this juwel and come back again to get an amazing stay in a hotel with amazing good persons and a pretty nice location, and very very good food. But it would be pity not to say thanks to Gary, Donna , the team and praise them. it is an amazing sweet house, very clean, sweet interiour, lovely and attentive people at the hotel team, and amazing good cook and kitchen. We loved to stay there and hope we will get any time again a slot when we can again book a room.

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!!

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!

We recently enjoyed a two night break at this beautiful hotel. Gary and Donna were perfect hosts in every way. The house is stunning, beautifully appointed in every room, we stayed in Great Gable with amazing views across the garden and valley. The attention to detail in the room was exceptional and enjoyed the best sleep in ages.
The food was delicious and beautifully presented, I especially enjoyed the canapés on the terrace before dinner whilst enjoying the idyllic views. My smoked salmon and scrambled eggs set me up for a great day of walking, a great walk thanks to Gary’s knowledgeable advice.
Hazel Bank is a fabulous place to stay, highly recommended, can’t wait to return.
