Unfortunately this cottage was not for us, while it is centrally located within Keswick and close to all amenities and the parking permit was great as the area is very busy. The actual location of the cottage next door but one to a spa shop open 7am -10pm every day was very disruptive. We were woken every single morning by noisy 5:30 - 6am deliveries to the spa shop, and late at night (After midnight) by drunk noisy folk using in front of the cottage as a through road to get home. It was not in any way restful or relaxing I’m afraid. The beds in the cottage are uncomfortable and squeaky, and the shower pressure in the bathroom is terrible but it is an electric shower, to run a bath with the water pressure from the taps took around 45 mins to run it fully. The owner apparently says it has excellent water pressure….. The kitchen was fine with all amenities needed, the owner has stated in response to fair criticism mainly about the shop next door ! That it took her cleaner over an hour to clean oven mess that we left! , sadly this is an exaggeration we used the oven once during our stay and ate out every other night ! The owner did leave a welcome pack of wine biscuits and crisps which was lovely along with a lot of notes around the cottage to provide help and instruction. The owner has stated we paid *removed by Feefo* per night in half term for 3 people and a dog and yes that would have been good value had we got any restful nights sleep at all which sadly we did not.. we came back exhausted. Plus, it wasn’t even half term in Keswick kids were at school and constantly screaming and yelling past the window early mornings ! . Clearly this owner does not accept any form of Negative criticism and only wants positive feedback ! We felt the space overall for us was a bit cramped so with that and the noise levels from The local shop we would not return to Hazels cottage. Light sleepers would really struggle here. While we appreciate it is a lovely “quaint” little cottage a break to the lakes is supposed to be relaxing and this was most definitely not.

We had a lovely stay over Christmas at hazels cottage. It couldn’t be in a better location really and the parking pass was also super useful since we had 2 vehicles! We managed to get one parked up on the street and used the pass for the vehicle we planned on using throughout the trip.It’s very small so wouldn’t recommend if you like your space as some of the doors don’t open all the way due to furniture etc but that didn’t bother us really.The only part we struggled with was the noise. It is on what seems like a quiet street but it seems to be a shortcut for everyone in Keswick.. and the shop next door also brought a lot of noise due to be people waiting outside late at night. I was woken up several times in the early hours of the morning by people walking past shouting etc so maybe not the best if you’re a very light sleeper. However that’s my only real criticism. We loved hazels cottage and had a lovely cozy Christmas there. The host has thought of everything you will need and so many little details such as the little mouse stickers on the walls, the cottage store ornaments and the gorgeous welcome basket!It is literally a 2 minute walk into town or a 1 minute walk to fitz park over the road which we frequented a lot with the dog. A perfect location for anything you plan on doing in Keswick! Thanks again, I’m sure we will be back!
