"We stayed at Hazel Cottage at the beginning of May 2023."
It’s set in beautiful countryside and it’s 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.

"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 but just far enough off the beaten track at the same time - we will definitely go 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.

"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

Sitting in the hot tub looking out to the tranquil country side was perfect. Absolutely amazing place for a break away from it all.

About the location
BACKBARROW
Newby Bridge 1 mile; Bowness-on-Windermere 10 miles.
The small village of Backbarrow sits by the banks of the River Leven and the southern tip of Lake Windermere. The famous Haverthwaite Steam Railway runs close by the village between Haverthwaite and Lakeside. Enjoy magnificent views across Windermere and the surrounding fells, or visit the Aquarium of the Lakes, where the naturally themed habitats bring the history of the Lakes vividly to life. Bowness-on-Windermere provides a lovely day out, and the picturesque village of Hawkshead still retains the charm and character that so endeared it to its most famous residents - William Wordsworth and Beatrix Potter. Set amidst the charm of the Lake District, close to the fringe of Windermere, this attractive village makes an inspiring choice from which to forage further into a magical heartland of silver lakes, lofty towering peaks and lonely gorse clad moors.
