  I cannot say enough about how lovely this cottage is, you will be so pleased if you do book here.

  I was worried as there were not many reviews but I should not have been as it was truly one of the best rentals we have ever had. The owner was a fantastic communicator and easy to reach with the few questions I had. The kitchen is perfectly fitted with plenty of basic supplies and easy to use. There is a very well stocked Co-Op just outside so you can cook in if you like. There is even a new washer/dryer which was great to clean up our hiking gear! The living area is cozy and warm. The fireplace was wonderful and the dressing room a real bonus. The bed was so comfortable and the bathroom clean and modern. The space was a perfect for our needs and even a bit larger than I had expected. The town of Hawkshead is a dream out of a picture book and the people were warm and welcoming. We arrived after dark which was a bit of a challenge but we managed with Phil's help to get settled very quickly and have time for a pint in the Red Lion ( literally steps away). The Sykes App made it even easier so definitely worth the download.

  This cottage is truely stunning, the views are amazing and the interior has been so tastefully decorated.

  Beds super comfy, just being tall the low ceilings werent ideal but its a cottage so thats part of charm. Fresh eggs just outside to buy and off road parking a bonus. Only issues for us was water pressure disappeared on 3rd day, the location is just so remote so having to drives miles for any kind of shop or bigger village town was very annoying. Roads are deadly single tracks for miles and miles. Also would be good to have or pay for a welcome pack (had this in other cottages) as no milk etc after travelling hours to then drive 9 miles to get milk was not good. Lastly a small welcome note to list cottage owner numbers and local recommendations is always a nice touch. Local village pub was lovely but just again super pricey! No signal for phones which yes is nice but we had a child on holiday and a sick relative so couldnt call or text anyone but thats just maybe us being too used to convience. The cottage and hot tub views 10/10.

  A lovely 2 night stay here.

  Very remote but that is what we were hoping for. Very easy to access Coniston for paddle boarding. A nice pub along the road to the right about 5 minutes away. Lovely, picturesque setting. Hot tub was great for our stay and enjoyed by all. Dog friendly. High chair and booster seat available for dining chair. Travel cot was much appreciated too. Parking for 2 vehicles. Not suitable for anyone with mobility issues wanting to access the garden frequently as the steps are quiet steep. There is a handrail. Not a problem for our party and the views from up there were amazing! A beautiful country cottage. Thank you

  We had a wonderful stay.

  The apartment was well equipped, very comfortable, everything worked and we thoroughly enjoyed watching the comings and goings in the square below. Communication was superb too. Being 6ft 4" I adjusted to the beam and it wasn't a problem. Steps to flat were fine but maybe tricky if you have any balance issue or disability. Car parking season ticket worked well in Hawkshead and elsewhere. Pubs in Hawkshead were excellent as were cafes. Loads of walks from house too. This was up there with our best ever holiday. Weather helped but apartment definitely a contributing factor. Will be back!

  We had a lovely stay at Rose Cottage.

  It is a beautiful, peaceful location, perfectly clean, great amenities, such as washer, dryer and dishwasher. The owners are friendly and helpful. Situated directly next to a working farm, my toddler enjoyed watching the coming and going of sheep and tractors, but this is not at all noticeable when inside the cottage, it’s very private and quiet which is lovely as well. Hot tub is a lovely addition and the views are amazing. Pub a short walk down the lane is cosy and makes amazing food with veggie and vegan options catered for as well! Would book this cottage again in the future.
