This is the third time we have stayed at this address, each time with new owners. In our opinion the experience has just got better with each visit. Gary & Donna were perfect hosts and made us feel very welcome. An undercover AA hotel inspector visited while we were there and he gave the establishment a Five star AA rating... More

Thank you for your lovely review...Being ideally situated for the fells and having such a beautiful house gives us a head start...but lovely guests matter too. Congratulations on your conquering of Scafell Pike and good luck with the challenge. We look forward to welcoming you again soon More

Quite apart from the fabulous location and accommodation Gary and Donna have a natural talent for making you feel completely relaxed and at home, nothing was too much trouble. They even offer flexibility for breakfasts and evening meals so you can enjoy a full day out on the fells. The food was excellent, freshly cooked and absolutely delicious. I've been... More

I have just spent 5 nights in this great country house in the heart of Lakeland. It was a fantastic base from which to explore the Borrowdale Valley in the footsteps of Hugh Walpole and after each day spent out in the elements, I was welcomed back to a roaring fire, an excellent glass of wine, delicious supper and most...

This was our third stay at Hazel Bank, and even though it has changed hands all three times the food and hotel has always been excellent. But this time the new owners have made it even better with their friendly and welcoming approach. Gary could not have done more to make us feel at home, as someone else commented it... More

This is a great place to stay in Borrowdale, with good walks from the door. The new, local owners are very welcoming and our room was large, comfortable and had a fantastic view across the valley. Also, as the hotel is set back from the road, it is very quiet. The food was excellent and well varied from day to... More

We have just returned from a wonderful 3 night-stay at this lovely country house. We have walked past Hazel Bank previously and have heard the evocative sounds of people enjoying afternoon tea in the expansive grounds and so were determined to visit! We were unbelievably lucky to be the only guests staying for the duration of our stay and the... More

New owners Gary and Donna Macrae are the epitome of cheerful, welcoming, efficient and expert hosts and our stay in this lovely valley was a delight. Meals were excellent, with breakfasts cooked to order and the dinner menus perfectly balanced and delicious. The overpowering decor of years gone by has been replaced with a much lighter and brighter touch which... More
