Elizabeth
We stayed at Hazel Cottage at the beginning of May 2023. Its set in beautiful countryside and its 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.

The hot tub was lovely and hot on arrival, the cottage was filled with everything you need salt,pepper, sauces, butter plus lovely little extras such as bread and Prosecco! would definitely return here, and hope to at some point in the near future. Thanks again
We had a wonderful stay at Hazel cottage, everything was perfect, we will be back!
Outstanding. The pictures do not do the property justice. Absolutely beautiful. Highly recommend. Perfect location for relaxing and exploring. Special thank you to Lynsey.
Excellent quality accommodation. Very comfortable beds and sofas. 2nd time we have stayed at Bigland Hall cottages and will definitely be back. 1010!
The most amazing cottage we have ever stayed in! Stunning views and equipped with everything you would need for your holiday.
The most amazing location and cottage! Will definitely be returning in the future!
There was a bit of an issue with the electricity in that if you had too much on at once the lights would trip. Other than that is was a lovely stay.
We really appreciated all the little touches like the welcoming basket when we arrived. Things like this make such a difference especially after a long day travelling. The hot tub was a real hit with the kids whereas the real log fire was my personal highlight. A truly beautiful cottage in even more beautiful surroundings, it was a pleasure to come home to this every evening after long walks.
Lovely cottage, excellent facilities, close to main Lake District attractions ... Lovely cottage, excellent facilities, close to main Lake District attractions but just far enough off the beaten track at the same time we will definitely go again
Utterly incredible. From booking to arriving it was the smoothest process. The cottage was so well presented. Very clean and had everything you could need. I love the welcome pack full of local goodies The bedding and towels were very clean and fresh, the cottage was incredibly clean. Would absolutely book with you again.
On arrival at Hazel Cottage, it really does take your breath away. The cottage is beautiful and the location is simply stunning with breath taking views. The cottage is like a home from home and has everything you need for an enjoyable holiday. The little extras left by the owners ie fresh bread and lovely jams are such a thoughtful edition. I have been on quite alot of holidays and always struggle to get company in hotel beds. The beds at Hazel cottage are so comfortable i was really suprised. Everything about our stay was luxury we cannot wait to visit again.
Andrew
Hazel Cottage is in a beautiful setting with amazing views. The welcome pack was a lovely surprise and the hot tub wonderful after a day out walking. Will definitely return.
We were just delighted with Hazel Cottage, the area was beautiful, the cottage was stunning and spotless, everything catered for, and the welcome pack waiting for us, plus the very friendly greeting was more than expected. Will return again. Thank you.
House needs a better WIFI connection and absolutely needs a radio or device for playing music. It was possible to stream through the tv but the connection was so poor it dropped out. Also the tv needs radio channels if the above is not actioned
Steven
The cottage was well presented and the welcome hamper was a lovely gesture. Sitting in the hot tub looking out to the tranquil country side was perfect. Absolutely amazing place for a break away from it all.
