We enjoyed our 2 night stay at the Hazeldene. The host Paul is
very friendly and made us feel welcome immediately. We found that Bowness was particularly busy the weekend we went and Paul was able to advise us on walks to find some quieter areas of town near the lake.,
Room 1 was big enough, the bed was comfortable. Everything is very well organised, Paul and Lesley have thought of everything. There is even an emergency wind up torch in the bedside table with instructions on use. Other little things like a small pair of scissors to help open the milk sachets for tea/coffee, just things to make life a little easier. The room was also well equiped with a hair dryer, iron and ironing board, the lcd tv had freeview available. The decor had been updated fairly recently, everything looked fresh. The ensuite was not the newest, but adequete and very clean.
Breakfast was an organised affair. You order your food via a menu card when you arrive and it is all ready immediately when you come down between 8.30 and 9. The breakfast room is quite small and if all the tables were full it would feel a little cramped in there, but for us there were just one or two other couples. The food itself was good as were Pauls homemade jams and marmalades.
Thanks Paul and Lesley for a great stay.
