From its architectural design in the early 1800s, Hazelwood Hall has enjoyed an eclectic history of inhabitants. It has been a private residence, nursing home, and a religious retreat to add to the mix. Prior to conversion as it stands today, the hall was home to a prosperous lawyer as well as a Bradford wool merchant, and served as an elegant stately home and country retreat for Harold Carrington of Carrington and Dewhurst, cotton manufacturers.
An architect led restoration in 2006 to return the hall to its former glory led to the Hazelwood Hall we can see and enjoy today. Within both the original building and the sympathetically designed ’East Wing’ containing Apartment 14, luxury apartments have been designed in a blend of classic and contemporary styles, and wherever possible the original period features of the building have been retained or sensitively restored. The 18½ acre grounds of Hazelwood Hall were extensively redesigned by celebrated Victorian landscape garden designer, Thomas Mawson, around 1916. Thomas Mawson’s gardens are renowned amongst the prestigious landscape architects of today, and his book ’The Art and Craft of Garden Making’ is now regarded as ’the foundation of contemporary landscape architecture’. The former glory of these superior gardens has now been brought back to life with much care and attention, and is now a true wonder to behold all year round. Guests to Apartment 14 are free to enjoy the results of painstaking restoration and ongoing attention, and will find walks of the gardens and woodland grounds a joy, head to the viewing point for beautiful views over Morecambe Bay.
Situated within the Arnside and Silverdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Hazelwood Hall sits within easy walking distance to the village centre.

Lovely apartment, very clean and comfortable with lovely extensive grounds. We had a slight problem with the heating because there were no instructions how to alter it and we were unfamiliar with the system.Lovely area for walks, need to drive 5 miles for large supermarkets and petrol stations.Would definitely stay again.

Nice, cozy well equipped apartment . The only negative only applies to people of limited mobility as it was very hard work for both of us in our 80s climbing all of the stairs with our luggage to reach the apartment. Besides that we had a lovely time in the area

Overall, the holiday was excellent. It was my second time at the apartment, so I knew what to expect in general. There were a couple of minor things that had been missed in the clean following the previous guests, but they were easy to sort out. The cleanliness and comfort of the apartment is excellent, and the veranda is a huge plus in the summertime. it is shaded at the start and end of the day, which makes it a wonderful place to eat when the apartment is warmer than it is outside. The washing machine handle has become a bit delicate, and the clothes maiden has a loose washer on one side, which made it a little challenging to put down. However, the attention to detail in the main living space and the bedrooms and en-suites is excellent, and we had a wonderful holiday. We are definitely coming back.
