Guests say
Rose Cottage offers a comfortable stay with its spacious, tastefully decorated interiors and appreciated underfloor heating. Despite some maintenance issues and basic kitchen facilities, the property's cleanliness and quiet, attractive setting are highlighted. The comfortable bed and good location for visiting attractions are notable positives.
The property is generally described as clean. However, there were reports of wasps, which may indicate a slight cleanliness issue, but this seems to be an isolated incident rather than a trend.
The location is appreciated for its quietness and proximity to attractions. However, one review mentions an unattractive outlook with views of bins and construction, which impacts the score.
Guests found the bed very comfortable and the cottage spacious. The underfloor heating was a highlight, although some guests had issues with heating controls. The comfort was marred by a lack of safety features in the shower and a high step without a handrail.
Facilities received mixed reviews, with some guests satisfied and others noting a lack of kitchen essentials, non-working appliances, and issues with the shower drainage and wifi. The absence of a vacuum cleaner was also noted.
There is no mention of gifts or extra thoughtful touches provided by the host, so it is not possible to score this category.

The prior comments I feel were a little harsh compared to our experience. The property was clean, bed was very comfortable, included all essentials, had parking, was quiet and tvs and WiFi were in good working order. Near richmond, barnard castle, high force waterfall, beamish, Hexham and coast only just over an hour drive. I would highly recommend this very reasonable, safe and comfortable accomodation. If you want luxury and matching cups then maybe look elsewhere and pay above the odds.

This problem persisted every day, which made us on edge for out dog. The problem was ongoing for the remainder of the stay. The hob tripped out all electrics we informed the manager, however, we coped with just using 3 rings. There was no shop on site when we visited so be aware. The cottage was in a good position to visit attractions in the area. We would have vacuumed round on leaving but no machine was available.

Wifi was non existent and the pictures on the TVs pixilated on main stream channels. There were 3 TVs and one in the kitchen didnât seem to work at all. The poor wifi was the biggest disappointment.
