Guests appreciate the well-equipped kitchen, comfortable furnishings, and thoughtful touches like a welcoming bottle of Prosecco. While there are some concerns about maintenance and Wi-Fi connectivity, the overall experience is positive, with many looking forward to returning.
Most guests found Hazelrigg Cottage to be clean and well-maintained, though there was an isolated report of cleanliness issues upon arrival. This seems to have been addressed in subsequent reviews, indicating an improvement or a one-off situation.
The cottage's location is highly praised for its tranquillity and proximity to local attractions and walks. It is described as a great base for exploring the South Lakes, with easy access to Windermere and other scenic areas.
Guests consistently mention the comfort of the cottage, highlighting the cosy beds, en suite bathrooms, and the warmth provided by the log burner. The overall ambience contributes to a relaxing stay.
The property is commended for its well-equipped kitchen and modern appliances. Some minor maintenance issues are noted, such as loose fixtures and a leaky shower screen, but these do not significantly detract from the overall positive feedback on the facilities.

About this property
Hazelrigg Cottage, an inviting, semi-detached property, is nestled on the outskirts of Newby Bridge, Cumbria. Renovated to an excellent standard, this country escape is ideal for a family of four looking to getaway to this Cumbria region. After a day of fell walking, kick off your boots and get the woodburner roaring before slumping on the sofa. Tune into the Smart TV and watch a movie or move into the kitchen and start thinking about dinner, utilising a range of integrated appliances. Serve up at the dining table or take the evening outside and catch the last of the sun from the bistro table and chairs.
As you plan for the next adventure, pop on the washer/dryer on a spin before washing away the day in the bathroom or shower room. The bedrooms are furnished with king size beds and with one situated on each floor then the bathroom and shower room can become en-suites. Venture into Newby Bridge and treat yourself to a pamper at the Swan Hotel and Spa; unwind with a soak in the hot tub or treat yourself to a glass of bubbly and enjoy stunning fellside views. Stroll along the River Leven up to Windermere where you can catch a boat trip across the water, or why not try your hand at kayaking or stand-up paddle boarding? Be sure to visit the bustling town of Bowness, home to a great array of attractions including The Old Laundry Theatre and the world-renowned World of Beatrix Potter Attraction.
Further afield, Ambleside and Hawskhead have lots to offer, whilst the mountainous Scafell Pike will appeal to those seeking a challenge. Enjoy a jam-packed escape to the Lakelands at Hazelrigg Cottage.
The small village of Newby Bridge takes its name from the five arched stone bridge built in 1651 over the River Leven. The famous Furness Railway, one of Britain's oldest working standard gauge steam railways, runs between Haverthwaite and Newby Bridge. Visit the Lakeside Hotels and enjoy magnificent views across Windermere and the surrounding fells, or enjoy 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, plus 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, and admire the views at nearby Gummer's How.

They were very flimsy as well. We just tried to switch it on and it started to fell down. I do not think they are looked at properly. It is otherwise a decent little place and we would love to return there. Thanks.

Beautifully decorated, very comfortable beds and immaculately clean. We have just returned from a four night stay. Perfect in every way. We have already booked for a seven night stay next January.

The only little things that need looking at, were the downstairs toilet seat which is very loose, some drawer handles in the kitchen are very loose with one missing completely, longer screws needed, cover board under the cooker keeps dropping down as the clip has failed that holds it and finally it would have been more relaxing on the final day if the check out time was 11am as it is quite a rush to get everyone ready and the house tidy by 10 am. Like I said though, we absolutely loved the cottage and the small issues mentioned didn't impact our stay but need looking at before they get any worse. Thankyou
