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 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.

We stayed for five nights at Hazel Bank and can’t recommend it more highly. Wonderful location for walking in the Lakes and lovely cosy hotel with faultless attention to guests’ comfort. The highlight was the standard of the set dinner each night, Donna is such a gifted chef and the food was consistently fantastic! Gary and James were brilliant hosts, not surprised at all that other guests had visited many times. Perfect place after a day’s walking and the packed lunches were great too!

Just can’t say enough good things about this amazing hotel. Clean comfortable and beautiful hotel with a lovely friendly atmosphere very welcoming but it’s the food that sets it apart. Absolutely stunning.

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

We have just returned from a perfect seven night break here. Gary and Donna are prefect hosts, going the extra mile to make you comfortable. The room was well appointed with stunning views over the fells. The evening dinner was exceptional, some of the best food we’ve had in a hotel and we’ve travelled extensively. The wine list was wide and catered for all tastes. This was our first visit but certainly not our last, next years treat is already booked.
