Guests say
Hazels Cottage is highly praised for its cleanliness, cosy atmosphere, and private hot tub. Its convenient location offers easy access to York and nearby towns, with good bus services and dining options like the acclaimed Chinese restaurant across the road. The tranquil setting with wildlife adds to the charm, making it a recommended retreat for couples.
Guests consistently commend the cottage for its immaculate condition, noting it as very clean with plenty of towels provided. The high level of cleanliness contributes significantly to the overall positive experience.
The cottage's location is appreciated for its convenience to York and surrounding areas, with a reliable bus service and dining options nearby. However, some guests note the proximity to a main road as a potential downside for light sleepers.
Reviewers find the cottage cosy and comfortable, with a comfy bed and peaceful surroundings. The private hot tub is frequently mentioned as a highlight, enhancing the comfort of their stay.
Facilities are generally well-received, especially the hot tub. Some guests suggest improvements such as more detailed hot tub instructions, updated shower controls, and better ventilation in the shower room. The absence of a hairdryer is also noted.
While some guests mention receiving biscuits and milk, which is a thoughtful touch, there are not enough references to consistently provided gifts to accurately score this category. It should be noted that such gestures, while appreciated, are not guaranteed.

There is also a seating area to the side of the main entrance and a neatly trimmed lawn to the rear. Behind the property is a large orchard with additional seating that is shared with other properties on site. Feel free to pick the fruit during the autumn months or feed the chickens that roam the farm.
The local village shop is a two-minute walk away and the pub is just over the road. The popular market town of Pocklington is only a short drive away and offers a plethora of independent shops, tea rooms and a range of pubs and restaurants. Burnby Hall and Gardens is just up the road and is home to the National Collection of water lilies and the Pocklington canal is ideal for nature walks and bird watching. For cycling enthusiasts, the cycle track to Beverley is close by and the Yorkshire Wolds also offers miles of walking and cycling opportunities. If a day at the races takes your fancy, both York and Beverley offer an exciting day out.

We had a lovely time at Hazels cottage. It was clean, the bed was comfy & the kitchen contained everything we needed for a few days away from reality. The hot tub was amazing and we used it daily. There were shops only a short drive, we did pop to the local village store but it was closed & we then saw that it is only open on certain days but sainsburies & Aldi are only 5 minutes away. We caught the bus to York which was easy enough as the bus stop is only a 3 minutes away walk. It was just perfect, the only thing that could have been better was the weather but that’s out of our control. We shall definitely return.
