Snaptrip says
Hazel Cottage in Cumbria is highly praised for its stunning views, peaceful countryside location, and luxurious touches. Guests consistently mention the well-equipped nature of the cottage, the comfort of the furnishings, and the added luxury of a hot tub. The welcome pack and cleanliness are frequently highlighted, contributing to the property's charm. While there is a minor mention of an electrical issue and a desire for better Wi-Fi and music facilities, these do not detract significantly from the overwhelmingly positive experiences shared by visitors.
Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviewers consistently note the cottage as very clean, with fresh bedding and towels, contributing to a high cleanliness score. One minor issue with electricity does not pertain to cleanliness.
The location is described as beautiful, tranquil, and perfect for exploring, with stunning views and proximity to Lake District attractions. The peacefulness and natural beauty contribute to a high score.
Guests find the beds and sofas very comfortable, and the cottage is described as a home from home. One mention of a mattress being too hard slightly affects the score.
Facilities are generally praised, especially the hot tub and wood burner. However, there are comments about the need for better Wi-Fi and music-playing capabilities, which slightly lower the score.
The welcome pack is frequently mentioned and appreciated, indicating thoughtfulness. However, it must be noted that such gifts, while common, are not guaranteed for every stay.

Itâs set in beautiful countryside and itâs wonderfully quiet. It was a beautiful cottage, really well equipped and comfortable. The quality of the decor and the furnishings were excellent. We had beautiful views over the estuary and the outside patio was was a lovely addition with the hot tub and barbecue. We used the wood burner once which provided good heat /warmth. The welcome pack was so thoughtful and very much appreciated. We had a wonderful and very comfortable stay.
