Hazel Bank Country House Hotel in Borrowdale
Hazel Bank Country House was built between 1840 and 1850 for Thomas Simpson and his family on their return from living in the United States of America. This Victorian house was built with traditional Lakeland stone and fortunately has undergone very few changes since. Sir Hugh Walpole, the famous author, was a frequent visitor and used the setting in his Rogue Herries Chronicles.
There are plenty of walks which can be started from the bottom of the garden which is ideal if you would like to leave your car at the hotel.
We, the proud owners, purchased Hazel Bank in November 2008 after having owned hotels/restaurants in England and abroad before. We aim to pick up all the nice touches of hospitality we gathered while travelling around the world and put these into practise combined with our experience of running a hotel.
