Hazelwood Reviews

Maggie
Brilliant place to stay for family get together. Ideally located for a lovely 10/15 minute walk along the old railway line in to Keswick. Lovely and clean and having everything you need for your stay. Booked for the four time for next year 2025.
John
A fab house. We had a super time group of 16. Always have a week in the Lakes at this time. First time in Keswick. Overall it was very good and pleased to have stayed.
Josie
As a party of 12 we really enjoyed our stay at Hazelwood and loved the space and calm it provided for our holiday. Our children particularly loved the garden play area and huge lounge to play in!

Stunning property in a great location, perfect for all the family to enjoy!
Pamela
A wonderful spacious rambling house, fabulous for a family get together! The house was clean, extremely comfortable, well equipped and beautiful, we had a lovely happy time and everything we needed was available. The bedrooms, all different, are all lovely and the dining room and sitting room are very spacious and comfortable. The family kitchen anRead mored lounge area was great for mingling while we cooked on the aga, which was fine once we worked it out! Definitely recommend, we will definitely return Hide
Iain
We all loved Hazelwood house. Very comfortable, spacious & well equipped. There was plenty loo roll, some cleaning stuff and dish tablets. The garden is lovely, plenty parking and nice outside seating area. The hottub took a while to heat so prepare this in planet time before you want to use it. Would definitely return.
Sam
The property was well equipped and a great location but we were provided conflicting information. For example we were told there was only 1 high chair available when in fact there were 2 in the property which meant we brought one with us unnecessarily. Having to leave the Aga oven all the time was dangerous with our group which included children anRead mored also meant the kitchen became too hot and uncomfortable to sit in. The cleaner was fabulous and very helpful. Hide
Michelle
This house is absolutely perfect. There were 16 of us and the house was more than big enough. Its to a really high spec throughout with a really spacious kitchen with comfy seating area, large lounge and large dining room. Most bedrooms are en-suite. It has a huge carpark that could easily fit 10 cars on. Approximately 15/20 minute walk into KeswicRead morek which you can either do straight down the main road or down the old train track that is now a path. Totally recommend. Hide
Gary
Excellent house, very roomy and in a good location. The nearby cycling and walking path meant it was easy to get into Keswick. The house was very well equipped. The log fire certainly pumped out the heat.
Patrick
What a great house. The location was perfect allowing all members of the group access to The Lakes during the day as well as being a perfect place to all get together in the evening. Comfy beds, plenty of seating areas for different groups to sit and chat, a fabulous dining room and the added bonus of a hot tub. Yes it took a while to heat up but sRead moreitting out there listening to the birds singing as we soaked (including a tawny owl) was bliss. Hide

Absolutely beautiful property would highly recommend staying here 15 minute walk to the town centre.
Leoni
The house was absolutely beautiful throughout. Some of the rooms are still part of the ongoing refurbishment, but even still, these rooms were clean and tidy. The house was very well equipped and there was nothing we needed that we couldn't find! The hot tub was a great addition, but it took a very long time and a lot of logs to heat it up in the vRead moreery cold weather (the lid was frozen type of cold!) It was great for our multi-generational family for the weekend, we will definitely be back! Hide
Debbie
We loved the house and location, is was a massive hit with all our extended family members. The bedrooms and living areas worked really well. The massive dining table was great. Keswick is also our new family favourite lake district town. The house was really well kitted out, great parking for all the family members and lots of great walks from theRead more house. Thank you.

Maggie
Brilliant holiday let in a beautiful location - 5-10 minute walk into Keswick centre. Lovely big house for family or friends to get together.
Stuart
A stunning location and house made for big family/groups. With a number of en-suites, it makes the perfect retreat. Comfortable, warm, cosy. Well cared for by the owners.
Dymphna
Great location and lovely walks from the door. Size of property is great for large groups, plenty of parking. Garden not dog or young children friendly as not secure. Hot tub not well maintained as it leaks and after only two uses goes green - also, gets extremely hot. At present very old showers, which arent the best.
Sarah
Fantastic location, outdoor space and downstairs rooms. Bedrooms were small and some were very small and in need of modernisation. AGA cooker not easy to use and needed a good clean. However, fantastic place for large group. We had 12 and for that size it was great nit sure how it would be for more .
Alan
I can't fault the cottage. Clean,well decorated close to town and lovely gardens.
Wayne
First impressions were good BUT cleanliness was lacking, the window on landing absolutely disgusting, dead Bees/Wasps/Flies just left there. The hot tub leaks and is a waste of time because it takes at least three hours to warm up, therefore by the time you return from your day out its too late to use. Two bedrooms, Skiddaw and Castlerigg have bedsRead more so hard you cant sleep. Thirlmere has had the shower fitted so low my brother had to stoop, hes 5ft 10inches. NOT dog friendly at all. Hide
R
Very noisy, being right at the junction of two heavily trafficked roads. Furniture and fittings good.all interior woodwork needs repainting. Barbecue inadequate. Wood fired Hot tub very difficult to implement as it requires at least two hours of attention to get it suitable for use. Close to level pathway for access to town, ( c 20 mins)

Lake District Wildlife Park - CA12 4RD
about 7 Miles
We love this day out in Cumbria where you're encouraged to "take a fresh look".  Some of the amazing animals you will get to see include the only Canadian Lynx in the UK and you will have the opportunity to help their Lynx Conservation Project.  The Asian Fishing Cat is also well worth a look - these cats are known for diving under the water and catching fish!  Other activities include fantastic flying displays and play areas for the little ones...
Ullswater Steamers - CA11 0US
about 7 Miles
This is an award winning Lake District attraction and they have been operating cruisers on Lake Ullswater for over 150 years.  There is no better way to explore the lakes than on water and you could even combine a cruise with a spectacular walk.  For great days out in this region then this attraction is highly recommended and will appeal to couples as well as families.  Corporate groups are also well catered for.
Rydal Mount & Gardens - LA22 9LU
about 11 Miles
Rydal Mount & Gardens are wonderfully situated between Lake Windermere and Rydal Water offering breathtaking scenery. The home of William Wordsworth from 1813 - 1850 the grand home is now lived in by the poets descendents but parts of the house and grounds are open to the public. Why not take a guided tour and see the rooms where many of the famous poems were written. The gardens are beautiful at all times of the year but in the summer offer a spectacular display of colour. There is also a gallery and a tearoom. Discounts are available for group bookings.
Tullie House Museum & Art Gallery - CA3 8TP
about 21 Miles
This is a museum and art gallery in one and will suit those looking for an educational and cultural day out.  You can explore the fantastic art collection including Fine Art, Decorative Art and Textiles.  If you love nature then this aspect of Tullie House will appeal. The museum holds large and important collections of zoological, botanical and geological material. And for lovers of history there is plenty to wet your appetite here. Tullie House collects a wide range of historic materials including objects, ephemera (printed material), photographs and associated information files.  We think this museum and art gallery are excellent value for money as well.
South Lakes Safari Zoo - LA12 0LU
about 29 Miles

This is an amazing Cumbria attraction well known locally as well as nationally for how close you can get to the animals.  Described as the most interactive animal park in Europe it's well worth a visit if you are staying in the area.  Open from April to end October some of the highlights are the tigers, penguins, bears, hippos and rhinos.  At 2pm during certain seasons it's feeding time so don't forget to plan your day around this so you can watch the animals enjoying their feed.  Look out for seasonal events such as Halloween Zoo Boo (free entry for kids in fancy dress) and The Magic of Christmas.
