Red Rose Cottage

My sister and I stayed here over the Christmas period and had a really lovely time. The cottage was warm and cosy, with the bedrooms downstairs where it stayed cooler – perfect for sleeping. The beds were so comfortable, and the winter bedding made it a real treat to settle in at night. We were greeted with some really thoughtful festive touches: 3 Christmas trees, a welcome note, a bottle of wine and biscuits, which made it feel extra special arriving at Christmas. Karen was an outstanding host. Anything we needed, she dealt with quickly and kindly – she was incredibly accommodating and even brought a kitchen knife over on Christmas Eve when we realised we didn’t have one. The TV isn’t a smart TV, so we bought a Fire Stick during our stay, and Karen very generously reimbursed us for it so it could be left for future guests. If anyone staying here has any issues at all, I would absolutely recommend speaking to Karen – she couldn’t have been more helpful.

The only downside was parking. While it is mentioned in the property description that there’s no parking directly outside, in practice it was a tricky as the neighbouring properties parked out side, which made loading and unloading the car difficult at times (bearing how much you bring for self catering).

Comfortable, good location, great value for money. Fabulous host.

It was quiet, local to all We wanted to do. Internal layout was fantastic, very comfortable

Parking was hit and miss not great as parking on very narrow busy road cottage was in small cul de sac

It's a beautiful home, a fabulous location, and great hosts..

Nothing.

The entire place were clean, beds are comfortable, and basic things that we need are available. Wifi is fast. Fantastic holiday for the whole family. Karen is attentive and can be contacted anytime. Thank you.

Some pots and pans are rusty. Some kitchen utensils are slightly melted. Which is easy to resolve actually.

Great little cottage with the Lake District right on your doorstep! Also great for a staycation if you have young kids. And the owners are lovely and friendly. We will certainly be back!
