Hazel - Woodland Cottages

We had an enjoyable stay, the property was spacious, clean and well stocked with kitchen utensils, glasses, plates etc.

The hot tub was well maintained and ended by all! The only downside were the sofas in the lounge, they were very low, quite old and uncomfortable, this would be our only gripe but it didn’t detract from a really enjoyable stay. We had a wonderful time and would definitely book again!

this place is amazing!

!! gorgeous cottage and perfect hide away for a lovely weekend in the lakes! there was 12 ladies there for 2 nights and it was perfect for us all and so much space!!

We had an amazing family weekend to celebrate my 60th birthday.

Its the second time I've stayed in one of the cottages and would definitely recommend to anyone .

This accommodation was the best equipped for a large family group.

Everything matched in the kitchen and you didn’t have to wash the cups immediately as there was enough supply! The sofas while comfy, were a bit difficult to get off once you were in ! ( a very minor grumble!) Thank you for a great stay.

Clear communication, had everything we needed, thanks so much for having us!

This is our second stay at this property and once again we had a lovely time.

The cottage like new and spotlessly clean. The hot tub was a welcome addition. We were given a late check out the following day, which was fantastic and allowed us not to rush. Thank you once again for a lovely stay- we will be back.

Absolutely amazing property, staff on site couldn't do enough for you.

Very clean, perfect size and rooms for family of 12. Cannot fault anything. Definitely will return without any hesitation. Fantastic location, beautiful cottage, everything you could ask for and more.

Spotlessly clean and the owners had thought of everything.

A tasteful christmas tree and wreath on our arrival was a lovely touch. Plenty of dishwasher tablets, tea towels and logs for the burner were all included. A couple of plastic plates and bowls for children which was so ideal. Just brilliant. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It exceeded our expectations.

The cottage was extremely well stocked and the beds were so comfy.

Our third time on this site. We love the layout of Cherry best but our family has outgrown it. Could do with radiators in the lounge but loved the cottage and the ducks coming to say hello every day. The tub chairs were a bit wobbly but it's the end of the season and I'm sure they've worked really hard. These cottages are so well situated and we had yet another wonderful holiday at The Oaks. All credit to the staff.

Fantastic property, very spacious & everything you need for your stay.

Comfortable beds & a great shower. Will look forward to returning one day.

Lovely property.

It was my second time staying at this site. Was equipped with everything you needed. Beautiful location. Only 5 min drive to bowness windermere. We be definitely returning.

All the family had an amazing stay in Hazel Cottage.

Very large, well equipped house with loads of room for a family up to 12 people. The cleanliness was second to non and I’ve never slept in such a comfy bed in any holiday cottage before. The hot tub was a fabulous addition too. The surrounding area is beautiful and just nicely out of Bowness so very quiet. Nothing was too much trouble for the owners, we ordered pies from a local shop for our first night and they were already in the freezer when we arrived. Cannot recommend this place enough. Wonderful!

Excellent location and gorgeous property.

We visited as a large family group for my fathers 60th birthday and had a great stay. The cottage was enjoyed by us all including the hot tub. Great location to Windermere and lovely local walks.

This cottage was everything we wanted for our friend group reunion.

The accommodation itself was well appointed and maintained. The kitchen was well equipped. The staff were so accommodating and welcoming, special thanks to Sarah for going above and beyond to help us!

An excellent week, the house was lovely, very clean and comfortable.

A couple of little issues, sorted by Martin straight away. Don’t think we should have had to collect all the laundry together for the price we paid! There were too many emails, I was inundated with them from Airbnb

Beautiful cottage.

Fantastic facilities and location. The cottage was so spacious and clean. Fully equipped kitchen with everything we needed. The jacuzzi was lovely and well maintained. Great place for all my extended family to meet. Would highly recommend

Fabulous property for our family of 12.

Beautiful and private location.Very spacious, clean and well equipped. The hot tub just outside the livingroom was perfectly positioned. The staff on site were very helpful and there was always someone nearby if needed. We have stayed in many properties over the years as a family and we could not find one fault with our stay here. We will definitely return!

This was a lovely cottage clean well equipped and lovely views.

.....hot tub was a bonus and not far to walk from Bowness would highly recommend for a girlie get together, families with or without pets.

Thank you for a lovely stay.

Easy communication with host. Great info pack. Will be looking into staying with you again!

What a lovely property the children loved it we were very comfortable and how nice to relax in the hot tub after lots of climbing

The cottage and location are amazing!

Beds supercomfy! Hot tub very relaxing after a day out! In general the facilities were amazing though there were a few things tha could definitely be improved on. For example there were no small kitchen knives (essential for many cooking tasks), no small glasses (useful for fruit juice), only 3 plastic glasses! Most of the baking trays/roasting tins need throwing away (rusty and or scratched to bits), there were insufficient casseroles/ serving dishes. Only 2 casseroles and only one had lid! There was a colander/sieve with a hole in the base (might as well throw that out too) and the large frying pan needs to be looked at (the handle was loose and my husband tightened it so we could use it). A filter coffee machine would be useful and less messy than the cafetiere.

We stayed in Hazel cottage for a weekend, there were 3 families of four so 6 adults and 6 children.

The cottage was perfect. The layout is really good with the open plan kitchen and dining area which has an extra area with a sofa and tv. The room at the back with the log burner was really nice and we could easily watch the kids in the hot tub which they absolutely loved. The bedrooms are really nice and you can ask for twins or double beds before you arrive. The location is great and really close to all the local attractions, we walked into town one day which was a nice walk. The only criticism I would have is when you search for properties on Sykes and Hazel comes up it clearly states ‘no pets’ but when we arrived there were dog treats in the house and some old towels for drying dogs so we could have taken ours but instead we left them at home being looked after. It was a bit disappointing as it’s great to walk your dog in the lakes. One more tiny detail is the walk in the information pack in the cottage is not very easy to follow, the directions are wrong and it basically stops directions before you get to the town. It was a great weekend though and we will be staying again in the future.

Excellent accommodation for a large family.

Comfortable, clean and spacious with everything we needed. Couple of small things that need attention are the grill on oven just smokes when turned on and the shaving socket in family room did not work. Other than that was exceptional. Thank you.

Great property with loads of space for our group (8adults, 2 children) lots of bathrooms and toilets which is important for larger groups.

Well located for walking or a quick drive into Bowness. Recommend the Brant fell walk.

Had a wonderful stay in Hazel cottage, Very well equipped.

Lovely welcome pack. Peaceful location and handy for exploring the Lakes. Only one thing to mention, was surprised that there weren't stairgates to keep our toddler safe. Perhaps these were something I should have requested ?

The pictures do not do this cottage justice, it was lovely inside with beautiful grounds and even though there are other cottages nearby it didn't feel as though there were.

Beds were very comfy and the staff very helpful, delivering our meat packs straight to the fridge. It takes around 30 minutes to walk into Bowness which as a group we were fine with. We would definitely stay again.

Overall stay was amazing, lovely place.

More toilet paper could have been provided, not even 2 full rolls per bathroom. The ability to change the temperature would have been handy as it was extremely hot the entire time.

Absolutely outstanding.

I wasn’t really sure what to expect as the photos aren’t a true reality of what you get. What you get far outweighs the photos. Every inch of our lodge was clean and very well stocked with essentials I.e tea/coffee/cleaning essentials which was a nice touch compared to the likes of Center Parcs. Beautiful apartment, friendly and responsive staff. Beds are AMAZING, so comfortable and beautifully clean. Thanks so much, a perfect place to meet up with family/friends. Would highly recommend and would love to return in the future.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Hazel Cottage.

We were a group of 12 friends and there was plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for all of us. The beds were really comfortable and all except one could be separated to limit bed sharing! The kitchen was well equipped and open plan to the dining area to make catering a social event. We loved the hot tub, perfect for warming up after our swims in Windermere. We'd highly recommend staying at Hazel cottage, situated within walking distance of Bowness

Exemplary cottage, had all the facilities as stated on the listing.

i required a downstairs living area, and i got that, with plenty of space to manoeuvre. i asked the owners for a ramp, to bring my wheelchair into the property and that was done with ease and no fuss. When i phoned the owner, he was very polite and easy to talk to, and helped us out, so very grateful to THE OAKS and will happily like to come again. If there was anything i would change; it would be better if WIFI across the whole property, was consistently good, as it dropped a lot, and the seating areas had little or no connection. also directions to use the washing Machine/Dryer, as we had to guess parts of it. Thank You Ashraf

We booked the cottage for 2 families.

The cottage was beautiful and so clean and the facilities provided were excellent. The rooms were comfy an spacious. Kids really enjoyed the hot tub an the large garden to play. Wonderful staff an customer care any issues were dealt with straight away.Already planning our next stay.

Excellent stay, very clean and amenities provided.

Great place for a large group to stay, with no ample space. Beautiful location, very close to the town. Can’t fault it !

Great property for a large group.

Loads of seating Hot tub good fun. Gave the visiting ducks names

10 of us visited for the weekend to celebrate my 40th birthday!

We had such a fabulous weekend, the house is fabulous, hot tub great, beds comfy. The only thing we would criticise is the door locking system, there was an incident whilst we were there which we feel could’ve been avoided had the door had a proper lock rather than a key card system.

Our whole holiday was 5 star, the comfortable roomy cottage (Hazel), hot tub, cleanliness, facilities even the weather.

Can’t wait to return.

Great location and all rooms/furniture modern and roomy, i would recommend new photos of downstairs /dining table etc as think the place is better than the photos and we were all pleasantly suprised at how it looked.

Only negative was Hot tub was extremely hot and some of the party could not use. Everything else was great will come again for sure,

House was amazing, we had 4 families, 3 of which had little ones and it was perfect for own space and each bedroom having own bathroom/shower facilities!

Location fantastic as only 1 mile from Bowness! This place as everything you need, iron, travel cot, high chair, etc! Only thing missing was bin liners! Sheep and ducks visit every morning out the back of the cottage! Would certainly recommend this place!!!

Impressive property, attention to detail and better and bigger in real life.

Would definitely recommend!

I can’t wait to book this property again.

I actually can’t pick a fault with anything at all. The cleanliness was outstanding, the beds were super comfy, very spacious, the location was great!

Beautiful property in lovely surroundings for a friends reunion.

Very central to so many locations. Beds comfortable, good en suites and plenty of crockery and pans etc. Enjoyed the hot tub and the visiting ducks.

Lovely big house, great for a large family.

We really enjoyed our holiday.

Cottage was spacious and well equipped but was let down by the outside space.

The £50 potential fine was rather surprising if sheets etc weren’t bagged.

Your information stated that there was no parking and nearest parking was 150 yds or meters. There is parking so should be updated I think. First aid kit out of date. Holes in my pillow. Awful plastic flowering the sitting area (why?). Back door to the garden area would not lock very well makes cottage not totally secure Induction hob yet one pan not useable on induction Staff very helpful Great location

Fantastic cottage and could not find any faults.

Perhaps upgrade the sofas, as someone who has back pain its important to have good quality seating.

Small issue just a suggestion other than tgat just what we needed

We would definitely recommend this cottage, it was a really lovely place to stay, it has comfy beds and was really well equipped, the hot tub was really clean and all the instructions were clear.

The cottage was lovely, clean and spacious.

I highly recommend this cottage. 5 minutes drive form the lake and shops.

We had a great time and the cottage was exactly what we needed.

All rooms spacious and well equipped. The kitchen was clean and had everything we needed for a large group. Grounds were well kept and great for the kids. We would highly recommend the oaks to anyone

Great location, lovely cottage, clean and a lovely touch of some cakes on arrival.

Great cottage for family gathering.

All bedrooms and en-suites excellent. Kitchen well fitted and a very sociable space. Would certainly book again.

The house was absolutely beautiful and very clean.

The only thing I would recommend is maybe a cover or gazebo for the hot tub as the weather wasn’t very good but other than that everything was perfect! Also the homemade scones they made for arrival were delicious and a lovely touch.

The cottage is perfect for a large group.

The rooms are clean and spacious. The kitchen is stocked with all necessary utensils. Outside, the hot tub is a lovely addition. The cottage is set in tranquil and beautiful surroundings. A perfect place for a getaway!

We were 4 generations of family sharing this accommodation, including 2 octogenarians and a 4 month old baby, and found the facilities, space and layout was suitable for all.

The location is very good, merely 5 minutes drive from Bowness and within easy reach of the many attractions the area has to offer. We enjoyed the hot tub and our regular visits from the ducks. The telephone contacts prior to the holiday, and staff on arrival, were all very friendly and helpful. The only disappointment was the downstairs twin bedroom, which I would say is only suitable for children. All other bedrooms have plenty of wardrobe and drawer storage with dressing table and mirror area, plus en-suite facilities. The downstairs twin room, which has shared bathroom facilities, has very little storage, no shelf or dressing table area and no mirror, which made it difficult for my wife when drying hair, applying make-up etc. Nevertheless, we would certainly return and have already recommended the cottage to others. (Re question below on publishing my feedback - I have no request for you to publish my feedback but do not object if you wish to do so.)

Hazel cottage in the oaks woodland site was exceptional.

Cottage was exactly as shown in the website. Very well equipped for 10 people with enough space to have quiet moments. Garden and hot tub great the kids and adults alike all enjoyed relaxing after busy days sightseeing and enjoying all the lakes have to offer. Great base as very close to all the attractions being around 20-25 from the site. Staff were very helpful and responded to getting rid of a wasp nest immediately and helping move grocery delivery from main house when delivered there in error. Would definitely be back.

The Cottage was first class - the staff were amazing - the place was lovely.

Will definitely be back

Fantastic holiday home beautifully equipped and spacious in a quiet and peaceful location - perfect!

We really enjoyed our break away, with the girls.

Perfect location and the fixtures and furnishing are to a high standard. Very clean and plenty of facilities. The hot tub was amazing! Will be returning

We’ve stayed before as a group of 10 at rowan and loved it, so this was our second trip, with a newborn baby, to Hazel!

Everything about it was great for our group. The only comments I feel I need to make for improvement are, the shower in a bedroom upstairs was blocked and that meant the shower tray filled up. There was no potato peeler (made the roast challenging) and the door frame of the patio door was so gone there was a huge gap around the door that you could see outside. In the Jan/Feb weather that made the mornings in the lounge cold - which wasn’t ideal for the baby. Overall though these are minor feedback things that I just wanted to mention rather than complain about

Not enough toilet roll/bin bags/kitchen roll etc provided.

And nowhere for glass recycling which seemed a waste. Otherwise property was excellent and much bigger than expected. Went here for a weekend with 12 friends and everyone loved it.

Minor maintenance issues already highlighted with site manager Perhaps a few more detailed instructions for cooker/microwave etc would have been useful.

..otherwise a beautiful holiday home in a lovely setting.

Absolutely fabulous!

! We stayed in 'Hazel' cottage wgere there was more than enough room for our party of ten. Beautiful, modern and homely. There was plenty of crockery/utensils. Very well stocked. We had a great time.

Lovely cottage, clean tidy and generally well equipped.

Excellent bedrooms all with en suite facilities. My only slight criticism is that the cottages are very close together and whilst our small outdoor area was private the neighbours were very very close and their bedroom windows overlooked our hotub and seating area. The staff were very helpful, nothing too much trouble. A special mention to Mike the site manager.

Lovely spacious cottage which is beautifully decorated.

Crockery, cutlery, etc. plentiful for party of 11 which made for economic use of dishwasher. Hot tub excellent and we were very lucky with the weather. Hazel Woodland Cottage met our expectations but we have always been very happy with Sykes Cottages and thus set the standard high.

An absolutely immaculate cottage, just 5 minutes drive from Lake Windermere.

Exceptionally clean and spacious, with an outside seating area and hot tub. Ample parking for our cars. I would definitely recommend to others... 7 of us stayed for a Golden Wedding anniversary and it was just perfect!

This is a fantastic holiday cottage and far exceeded our expectations with regard to facilities and space.

We will definitely be back!

Outstanding.

The accommodation is even better than the pictures and description. Extremely comfortable, spacious & well equipped. Can’t recommend enough.

Water ran out on our second day which was a bit disappointing as despite leaving it an hour or so it didn’t come back on.

Apart from that it was a brilliant stay and the house was amazing. Would definitely return and recommend! Thank you :)

Had a fantastic time the only very tiny downside was the touch panel stove was very confusing but other than that I’ll definitely be back !

The cottage was very spacious extremely clean and tidy, very warm and cosy considering it was January over all 10/10

Fantastic cottage with everything high spec just like home from home .

Great place for our family. As we suffer with health conditions. Mum loved her 80th birthday at hazel Can we book a small cottage for 30th July 2018 for 2or 3 nights Many thanks Dahlene

Great place for a large group to stay.

Well equipped. Part of a cluster of holiday cottages. The cottage is approx 1 mile from Bowness, for the nearest restaurants and shops. Supermarkets deliver online to Woodland Cottages.
