The hotel was absolutely gorgeous and the room was extremely clean, spacious and comfortable. You are provided with Elemis products which are luxury, as well as a robe, slippers and towels. The spa was fantastic and very romantic. Overall, we had the most romantic time and we were gutted when we had to leave. Definitely planning on coming back in the Summer.

    We were made to feel most welcome on arrival by Sam and Steve. Our hosts were very friendly and helpful as this was our first stay in Bowness. Location was superb and parking was ideal. Our room was both comfortable and homely. As for food, Steve proved to be a wonderful cook and Sam a perfect host when it came to tending to our every need. We had a wonderful and refreshing stay and would definitely book with Hazledine again when we revisit. 5 stars.
