“The cottage met all our expectations and more.”

It made for a very momentous family gathering. The owners even kept us updated when there wad a local power cut and where concerned for our welfare.

“Great location for family although the weather was appalling.”

It didn’t deter our enjoyment

- Mr Reidford, September 2019
“You can't fail to have a good time in the Lake District, even if it rains a lot, but I was disappointed in this house.”

It's big, loads of room, great for kids, they loved playing hide and seek, and table football, but I was not impressed, especially with the kitchen. The 'blurb' says it's luxury, but I don't think the fittings fit that description. For example, the under-counter fridges were louder than the Beko dishwasher and the noise was permanent - you walked into the kitchen and thought "who's put the dishwasher on?" - not on, just the fridge! The side of the hob was so worn it was difficult to see which knob went with which hotplate, no timer on the cooker (OK - I'm being picky but this is meant to be "Luxury"!), we had to turn the microwave round to see what heating level applied - not many things cook on 700 these days. But the worst thing for me was the mattress in the bedroom next to the garage. I didn't expect to spend my nights wriggling to fit myself around the springs - that was all in the past, I thought, in those days before foam or even toppers! There was damp down the wall in the bathroom, too. So I'd say, if you're not looking for somewhere a bit special, this house is fine and you'll have a great holiday, but if you feel you've saved up for that extra treat - this isn't it!

- Mrs Williams, August 2019
“Very comfortable cottage and well equipped.”

Very clean. Would definitely return. Loved the games room - an extra TV in there would have been useful, even if only for DVDs as we didn't all want to watch the same things when the rain came down, and it rained a lot! Left my Jamie Oliver Pan there by mistake but too far to go back to collect. Might pick it up if we stay again in future! The cottage isn't in the national park but it's very easy to get to the sights such as Windermere and Grasmere and the drive is lovely. There are good walks from the Cottage. A visit to Levens Hall nearby is a must - the gardens there are lovely too. Also, you aren't far from Cartmel which is well worth a visit. Kendal is about a 15 minute drive and that has 3 large supermarkets to choose from. Overall, a very good stay!

- Mrs Ansell, August 2019
“It was a wonderful property in a great location.”

the facilities were great and a beautiful garden. location was perfect great base for exploring

- Mrs Kelly, July 2019
“The holiday home was lovely, the games provided were useful during rainy days and we got a lot of use out of the games room.”

The kitchen exceeded expectations and we were very grateful for everything provided such as the dishwasher tablets and bin bags etc. On arrival we were also appreciative of the lovely card, bottle of wine and fresh bread from the owners. The only let downs from this holiday was that the location was a bit further away from the nearest town than expected and the owner visited one day in order to mow the grass which disrupted our day due to being in the garden at the time and a few of us being affected due to hay fever.

- Mr Tunstall, July 2019
“We really enjoyed our stay.”

The group was big but we never felt in each others’ way. Great location for exploring the Lakes. The facilities were excellent and everything worked.

- Ms Seals, April 2019
“A great family holiday.”

We were 7 adults and 3 children, aged between 2 to 60. the place was perfect, loads of space, great games room. A beautiful quiet area but within easy driving distance of southern lakes. no mobile phone signal which wasn't a problem, walks from the door. Wouldn't hesitate to go back.

- Mrs Hampton, March 2019
“EVerything we wanted from our Holiday was available in Rockwood.”

Amazing Property,

- Mr Gordon, February 2019
“The house was much more than we expected.”

It was beautiful and very spacious. We have eight adults in the house and never once did we feel crowded. We would definately look to book again.

- Mrs Huntridge, November 2018
“Lovely house ideal for families.”

The garden was perfect for energetic children. The information said that a cot was available but it was only a travel cot with a very thin hard mattress & this should be made clear. There is no signal for mobile phones & no landline & wi fi is weak. Apart from that the house is great.

- Mrs Devlin, August 2018
“WiFi was lacking, very hit and miss.”

Mobile signal was absent, therefore you had to walk some distance from the property to get a decent signal.

- Mr Nicholls, August 2018
“Cottage ideal for my family of 10 -incl 4 children !”

Location great - although directions a little vague - house plenty large enough and facilities ideal, sleeping arrangements couldn't have been better, plenty space for children to play (garden casual enough for them not to upset anyone). Nice touch from owner leaving us bottle wine and large fresh loaf on arrival. Will certainly consider booking Rockwood again - provided owner is happy with how we left it. Thanks all round.

- Mr Roberts, August 2018
“The cottage was excellent, it had everything we needed and more, the welcome pack and guest information were very well thought out and made us feel at home straight away.”

The flow of information from Sykes was very useful in our planning and preparation.

- Mrs Taylor, July 2018
“A lovely, well equipped house in a great location”

We stayed here with 6 adults and 4 children. The house is very spacious, well-equipped and great for a family break. All the bedrooms are a good size and there are 3 doubles with ensuites as well as a separate bathroom. The lounge is massive and the kitchen diner is great for large families. The lovely large lawn area at the back is perfect for the children. The games room is also a great addition with pool table and fussball. It only took 15 mins to get into Kendal and is very close to the motorway if you’re coming up the M6. A lovely week - thanks!

- Becky F, July 2018
“An excellent house.”

Beautifully equipped and located.

- Mrs Hopson, June 2018
“We had a fantastic time!”

The cottage was amazing...big rooms, massive garden, idyllic location and great facilities. The Internet worked fine and we were able to stream Netflix through the PS4 with no issues. The downstairs double beds could possibly have had softer mattresses...a few of our party mentioned they didn't sleep too well, but they all still raved about the place and would go back, so clearly it's not a blocker! The upstairs master room was comfort personified, though...I slept like a log every night! Thanks to Mal for the wonderful welcome flowers, card and wine too! We will all be coming again!

- Mr Mcgiveron, June 2018
“Really lovely holiday, the pictures don’t do the house justice, all of the double rooms are huge, one we put a single blow up bed in with ease and the other a travel cot.”

The kitchen/diner is perfect for large groups with plenty of space for several chefs in the kitchen at one time. Plenty of bathrooms which are all nicely decorated with modern facilities. The outside space and garden are lovely. The parking says for 5 cars but we think that would be a bit of a squeeze. I think 4 packed in is more likely especially for larger estates. Wouldn’t hesitate to book again.

- Mrs Page, April 2018
“Approach lane could do with resurfacing but property made up for it,some potholes definitely need filling in.”

The owner was very welcoming and attention to detail was excellent.

About the location

LINDALE

Grange-over-Sands 2 miles; Cartmel 3.6 miles; Windermere 12 miles.

Lindale, a small village situated in the south of The Lake District National Park, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site and just a few miles from Lake Windermere, makes the area a perfect holiday destination. Set amidst the charm of The Southern Lakes, this attractive village, with handy gastropub, The Royal Oak, makes an inspiring choice from which to enjoy the whole of this magical area. Just a few minutes drive brings you to Cartmel, a delightful village to wander around, famed for its delicious sticky toffee pudding, 12th century priory, National Hunt race meetings and gourmet restaurants. You could also visit Grange-over-Sands, a charming seaside Edwardian town. Take a stroll on the promenade and return through the quaint narrow streets with some lovely tea rooms and specialist shops including a bakery, chocolatiers, and award winning butchers. The Lake District has so much to offer, there is sailing on Windermere, cycling in The Grizedale Forest, Go Ape Treetop adventures, Birdwatching at Leighton Moss and The Foulshaw Osprey Experience. There are also stately homes at Holker Hall, Levens Hall and Sizergh Castle and a heritage steam railway which runs from Haverthwaite to Lakeside. The Arnside and Silverdale Area of Outstanding Beauty is also a short journey away. But leaving the best till last, walking or touring in the fabulous Lake District, with its fells, lakes and tarns is an absolute must, most of which is just a short drive or walk away.
