Hazelnut Cottage Reviews

William
What a delightful holiday could not have been better, beautiful cottage which had everything one needed for a lovely stay, especially the down stairs games room for the younger of our group. Just three minuets away from Windermere main street which had everything one could need ,
Deceptively spacious accommodation. Suited 7 adults and a child really well. Good location in central Windermere. Very comfortable beds. No issue for us given time of year but small, shared outdoor space so bear that in mind if thats important to you. 2 parking spaces and a permit which was really helpful. The drive is very tight up to the property. VW Tiguan required careful manoeuvring! Very clean and hosts were really responsive and accommodating. Would definitely return.

What a delightful holiday could not have been better, beautiful cottage which had everything one needed for a lovely stay, especially the down stairs games room for the younger of our group. Just three minuets away from Windermere main street which had everything one could need ,
This accommodation was amazing! Spacious, in great condition and done to a nice spec. It was perfect for our 7 person gathering. Would definitely use again!
Lovely property very happy with everything
Gareth
Incredible house in a wonderful location just perfect for going out to eat and explore with great equipment etc in the house when you want to stay in and cook. The cinema room and games room was great fun and all the bedrooms are excellent, would highly recommend and we will definitely be coming back in the future!
It was amazing. We all absolutely loved our stay there. The house was extremely well equipped and had everything we needed. The beds were super comfortable and the duvet covers and pillows cases of such lovely quality. We had two little girls with us both under 5 and it was perfect for them too. The games room with dart board was great fun. Great to have a washing machine though we didn't use it but it was there if needed. The only suggestion i would make is the addition of some hooks in the bathrooms. Would just make things easier. And just to mention that unless you drive a fiat 500 there is no way of getting two cars on the drive. However, street parking was never an issue and with the permit to put in the car, it was really no problem at all. We will definitely be returning.
Could do with a coffee machine and a welcome pack would have been good. Garden could be better maintained but overall had a lovely stay.
Pauline
Hazelnut cottage is a beautiful place it has everything you need for your stay. Throughout the cottage everything is of a high standard. The cottage is with in walking distance to windermere with local shops and lovely places to eat. Highly recommend this gorgeous home .
Leanne
Fantastic property, had everything we needed, immaculate, modern and spacious! Both families had a great week!
We stayed over the Easter weekend and had a fabulous time. We ended up having to take the dog to the vets which meant we spent more time at the property and local area than planned, so it was great to have everything we needed. The property itself is finished to a high standard with great fixtures and fittings, a NEF double oven certainly isnt wasted on me! The kitchenwares are fully stocked, we brought some of our own things as we were cooking a full turkey dinner, but we need not have bothered as there was everything from scales, electric whisk and Yorkshire pudding tins! We stayed as a multigenerational family which included young teenagers so the basement cinema room was a hit! We also took advantage of the log fire, which had some fuel, lighters etc already there. The beds are really comfortable, we all commented on how well we slept, lots of storage and space, plenty of of seating in the living area and dining room so it easily swallowed up the 7 of us. Parking was great, we had 2 SUVs so the parking only allowed for 1 vehicle but the added bonus of a parking permit meant that didnt matter. There was always a place on the street and was never a worry even on a busy weekend like Easter. You got the impression that the owners cared about your stay and really thought about the little things that made the stay even more enjoyable, everything we could have needed was catered for, we would certainly return and have already recommended the property to a friend who is a frequent visitor to the lakes
Excellent cottage and location especially for multi generational stay, toddlers and grandparents. Facilities superb. Park and ameneities very close including access to public transport. We would definately re book.
Steffan
The property owner was very helpful and would very much recommend this property
Sharon
Beautiful cottage, immaculately presented & in a perfect position. Ample room for 6 adults, 2 children & a baby. We had three cars and left one on the road with the parking permit supplied, which was ideal. Parking & driveway are quite tight but we got two medium size cars parked ok. We would definitely book again.
We thoroughly enjoyed our celebratory stay with the family at Hazelnut Cottage. The property is fabulous, has plenty of space, is well equipped, very comfortable and in a great location. There were a few niggles which has influenced the overall rating the heating in the ensuite bedroom was ineffective we have mentioned this to the owner direct and the ensuite shower isnt particularly powerful. We knew that parking for two cars is restricted but we also found that access into the driveway is quite tight too. The rear shared courtyard area is very small and does need some attention although this wasnt an issue as the weather at this time of year isnt suitable for sitting out anyway! When we first booked the property, we were fairly sure that it was pet free which was one of the main drivers for our choosing it, due to pet allergies. We have since noticed that pets are now allowed which could have been a serious issue. As it happens, the property was spotlessly clean and it may well be that there have been no dogs. However, we would not be able to stay again if its status remains the same.
Angela
We had an amazing stay at Hazlenut Cottage. You need to see it in real life to fully appreciate the space and top quality furnishings. Great location. Perfect home from home for our adult family & partners. Seven of us in total and never felt overcrowded, plenty of room to spread out & do your own thing!
Lesley
Beautiful cottage, and in a perfect location for everything. Only one very minor recommendation would be is could they provide tea towels please.
Hazelnut cottage is gorgeous. The photos on the website do not do it justice! Loved all of it
Jackie
Beautiful cottage, immaculately clean with everything you could need. Great location, couldnt fault it,
Daniel
Amazing property and the whole family thoroughly enjoyed our week at Hazelnut Cottage! The rooms were beautiful and the house immaculate. The main bathroom was a real luxury, and all the bedrooms were well thought out with comfortable beds and lovely lighting. The adults particularly enjoyed relaxing in the cosy living room, while the younger members of the party could not get enough of the superb cinemagames room.....a Godsend considering the wet and changeable summer weather! The house is situated within a few minutes walk of the town centre with all it's quaint shops and restaurants, yet has an awayfromit all feel. Also within a comfortable walkfive minute drive to the busier BownessonWindermere and its famous lake. Hazelnut Cottage is a real homefromhome and the owner has thought of everything to make a luxurious and comfortable stay. Would highly recommend this property and we will no doubt be back!

Samantha
Lovely stay at hazelnut cottage, could not fault it. The cinema room in the basement was an added bonus. Slightly tight parking 2 cars so quite often parked second car in the street. Visitors permit is provided. Would highly recommend.
Kathleen
Exceptional property, spotlessly clean, fabulous amenities! We cant wait to return.
Eamonn
Great location near centre of Windermere , excelllent kitchen with 2 ovens and 6 ring hob so easy to cook for 7 as and when required . The basement with large screen TV , darts and table football were a big hit, easy to relax in the spacious lounge and comfortable beds after a days walking were much apprecited . On street parking permit in addition to space in the garden was a bonus . Highly recommended
We have just returned from spending a wonderful week at Hazelnut Cottage all three generations. The comfort and general ambience is first class and quite clearly the owners have taken great pride and thought in furnishing Hazelnut Cottage. We were so very impressed with the high standard of cleanliness throughout the cottage . The location is ideal and despite being in the centre of such a bustling town there is an air of peace and calm. We look forward to a return visit.
Hazelnut Cottage is wonderful. Exceptionally clean and spacy with all the facilities within that you would need. A great location close to the town centre but with the quietness associated with the countryside. The beds are great, best sleep had in ages. We had three generations with us and the cottage catered for all. I cannot speak more highly of the place. Host contacted me in advance and made herself available should we have an issues. We didn't, but the fact that I had recieved rhe contact was really appreciated. The sun shining all week was the icing on the cake. A truly lovely location.
Kathryn
Very well maintained, lovely decor giving that feeling of home from home. A very spacious and comforting property. Everything we needed plus more. Would definitely book again in the future.
Loved our stay here! Facilities and cleanliness were excellent! The huge TVgames room was a great touch and a highlight of the house. The location was excellent too very close to the town and very central to other towns in the area. We would definitely stay here again!
Perfect location for three generations to enjoy time together.
Hazelnut cottage is beautiful. Everything you need and more. Clean as a whistle, perfect location in the middle of Windermere town, which has everything you need. Only a short walk or bus ride to the lake. Kids were more than happy with the cinema and games room in the basement. We will definatley return
A fantastic property, great facilities and the basement is amazing! ! Great location in windermere. 7 of us stayed and the house is more than big enough, all beautifully decorated and high quality finishes parking for 2 car was great Nicola and Chris were great hosts, we will definitely be returning!!
Melanie
We all had a fabulous time at the cottage, the kids absolutely loved it and the huge bonus was the games room and cinema. Adults of course loved it too. House is spectacular, so clean, and everything that you could possibly need inside. All the special touches make it so much more homely. We booked with our friends who were over from Australia and the house did not disappoint. Such a fab location too right next to town and the park is only at the end of the road. We would book again without a doubt. Nicola is so accommodating, lovely and happy to help.
We enjoyed a fantastic week at thiswonderful holiday property, beautifully presented, spacious & spotlessly clean! Great central location close to supermarkets & many independent shops and eateriescoffee shops. A great base for exploring the Lake District would highly recommend!
Michael
Had a great week staying at Hazlenut. It is in a fantastic location and so close to all the local amenities. It is a lovely spacious cottage, beautifully decorated and very clean. The games tv room was a big hit with the adults and the kids. Thank you for a lovely holiday.
Cheryl
Fantastic location, very clean, everything needed was provided. Great family holiday
A great cottage in a good location. It was very comfortable & well equipped with plenty of cutlery.glassware & crockery etc all of which were of good quality. The welcome basket of local cakes etc was a nice touch. There was just one downside. We understood that there was a shared garden space.which wasnt a problem,but unfortunately we didnt use it. The reason being that it was very untidy with lots of weeds & dead plants. It really needed some attention to make it into a place where you wanted to sit & have a coffee. Having said that it wouldnt stop us visiting again.
Caroline
Absolutely super stay, enabling us to complete a good few Wainwright walks. The cottage is ideally situated, and we will definitely be coming again. There were 3 small observations a squidgy for the shower doors would have been good as we like to clean down the shower doors, and also a wash basket so that when the washing machine was unloaded it's easier to dump them in a plastic basket ready to hang, finally a butter knife spreading butter with the cutting knives wasn't the easiest. It really is a splendid home and we all agreed it is home from home. The owners, Nicola and Chris went the extra mile in providing more than the average kitchen utensils and home equipment. Local amenities are great, and the little touches on arrival, like the chocolates and cake were very much appreciated. Thank you for everything we were very sad to leave on Saturday. x
Overall a lovely property within walking distance of town centre. Very well equipped and very spacious. The basement games area was an added bonus especially as it was very warm and we were able to cool off with our grandson. One minor problem was the shower in the ensuite which was not very powerful but was still ok to use. Overall a very nice accomodation
Charlotte
My family of 8 stayed here for a week. We loved every minute of being in this house. Brilliant location. Beautiful and well done all the way through. We are all looking forward to returning soon as we can.
The property is immaculate, perfectly situated for local facilities and travel beyond. We did not want for anything. The kitchen was well kitted, fabulous for a large family like ourselves. Plenty of space to relax, the cinema room was a hit witj all ages. Contact with Nicola and Chris was excellent throughout. I would highly recommend this property.
