• "The property was in a lovely location very quiet and good position for touring round."

  The only negative comment I have is we could have made use of a washing line as the weather was so sunny and warm would have preferred hanging clothes out rather than using dryer which took forever to dry clothes. It was lovely that we had dog treat bags left such a thoughtful thing to do. Thankyou we had a great holiday with our family and our 4 yr old Grandson loved the village park. Jeff the horse was spoiled with apples and carrots too.

• "We will be back!"

  We have had a lovely stay at Rock Cottage! Came for a nice, chilled weekend away with friends and Rock Cottage was the perfect place to do just that. Close to local pubs and shops and the area is remote and peaceful. The cottage was extremely clean and tidy and a true home from home feel. Great facilities and hosts were very helpful and contactable with any additional questions we had. We will definitely be back, recommend to all. Perfect place for friends after a chilled weekend away, families of all ages. Thanks so much for hosting.

• "Beautiful cottage in a beautiful location."

  Comfortable beds. Amazing log fires. Logs provided by owner to start. Dog proof garden (if you haven't got a Cairn). Hot tub was amazing. Great downstairs shower room. Hope we didn't leave too much mess and we will be allowed back.

• "Very clean, warm and well presented upon arrival."

  The owner had left some bubbly and dog treats which was appreciated. But having paid £1700 for our 3 night stay at New Year, we were disappointed to have to make a last minute dash into the nearest town to pick up essentials like washing up liquid and kitchen roll. Didn’t make sense to find liquid laundry detergent but nothing to wash up with. By New Year’s Day we had to try and find a store open to buy toilet rolls, dish cloths and tea towels as only 2 of each for a party of 8 during the festive season

  Thank you for your feedback. Per our listing the cottage is self catering. We do provide some essential supplies for your arrival however self catering properties do not generally supply everything you would want for the duration of your stay. We do have a black bottle of washing up liquid next to the sink that I fear you may have mistaken for liquid laundry detergent which is something that we don’t supply. Property Owner

• "Beautiful welcoming cottage in a very, peaceful village, we had a lovely stay."

  Our girls particularly liked the games box (we played Articulate every night!) and they enjoyed the horses. The teles in the rooms were well appreciated, super comfy mattresses. Hot tub was fab, especially after a long walk/hike. Welcome teas, sugar, milk etc also well received ☺️

  Thank for your feedback, it’s lovely to hear that you enjoyed the cottage and its facilities. Recovering from a hike in the hot tub is something special Property Owner

• "Lovely cozy cottage, very quiet so nice and relaxing."

  The cottage is well equipped, comfortable beds, beautiful secure garden which our dogs loved and the hot tub is great. We had lovely days out exploring, going for walks, pub lunches, then spent our evenings in the hot tub and playing games which were provided, lots of fun. Treats were provided for the dogs which was so nice and kind. Tea, coffee and milk were also provided so we could have a drink on arrival which was nice. We had an Asda food delivery arranged for when we arrived, no issues at all. I had messaged the owner a couple of times, just with questions, communication was great. I would highly recommend this cottage for a relaxing break away.

  Thank you so much for your feedback. It sounds like you made the most of your stay and we’d welcome you back anytime. Property Owner

• "Our family of 6, along with our dog Bronte, had a wonderful stay at Rock Cottage."

  We had family visiting from Canada and Australia, so it was the perfect opportunity to all spend some quality time together. The cottage was exactly as described, and we were especially impressed by the size of the bedrooms, which were spacious and comfortable for everyone. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would highly recommend Rock Cottage for a relaxing family getaway.

  We’ve had alot of family gatherings booked at Rock Cottage but yours was clearly the furthest travelled! Thank you for making our cottage your home, we’re happy that you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

• "Fantastic stay."

  It would be great if you gave details of local walks and the exact location of the nearest shop and pub

  We're glad you had a fantastic stay. The location of the nearest supermarket is provided in the guest information folder that is left on the coffee table. There are books and leaflets on the bookshelf that include local walks, shops and pubs/restaurants. We also leave our lovely guestbook in the living room where guests are encouraged to leave comments about what they enjoyed doing when they stayed with us. This is intended to give future guests ideas of where to go and what to do to get the most out of their stay. Property Owner

• "Lovely cottage, location was gorgeous really quiet and peaceful."

  It was a bit out of the way but only 20mins for Penrith which has shops etc. It was such a lovely weekend and I highly recommend Rose cottage. Added bonus was the lovely addition to the bottom of the garden…….Jeff & Lonestar

  Thank you so much for your great feedback. We agree that the horses visiting the bottom of the garden is a lovely addition. Hope to welcome you back soon Property Owner

• "We had a lovely stay at Rock cottage."

  Shame about the weather but it didn't stop us having the best time. It had everything you needed for a stress free stay with the added bonus of the hot tub. It was so nice to let our dogs roam free in the garden. Jeff (the horse) would often pop over for a visit, which was lovely. We would definitely stay again and I will be recommending this cottage to my friends.

  We’re glad you had a stress free stay and got to know Jeff, he’s a great neighbour. We’ll happily welcome you back, hopefully when the sun is shining Property Owner

• "We had a wonderful stay at Rock Cottage, great location and lots to visit nearby."

  The cottage was clean and tidy and had everything we needed. The hosts were there if needed via the phone (which we did due to a local power cut) and we’re really helpful. They were even kind enough to post us an item we left at the cottage. We would highly recommend people visit. (We were two families of four with children aged 3-8)

  Thank you for staying with us and for leaving us such nice feedback. We hope to welcome you back soon. Property Owner

• "Lovely cosy cottage, had all the facilities needed for a comfortable stay."

  Really enjoyed our evenings by the fire after exploring surrounding areas. Also, this is the best cottage I have visited in terms of welcoming dogs. Towels, bowls, treats, bed, no restrictions other than to keep shedding under control by cleaning. Will recommend to all my friends and family looking for dog friendly holidays.

  Thank you for your wonderful feedback. It sounds like you had a great time and made the most of your visit. We hope to welcome you (and of course your dogs) back soon. Property Owner

• "We had a fabulous time at Rock Cottage celebrating my husband’s 60th birthday during our stay!"

  The idyllic cottage is in a lovely quiet village and is very private. The owners were very helpful and quick to reply to any queries we had. The kitchen is well equipped providing all the cooking utensils we required during our stay. We ate at a local pub the Cross Keys twice which I would thoroughly recommend. The drive to Ullswater, Derwent Water and Bowness on Windermere was beautiful even if a bit icy! The hot tub was amazing even though it was -7 degrees! As a family ranging in age from 1 to 60 we had great fun and I would thoroughly recommend a stay at Rock Cottage

  Thank you for your lovely comments, it sounds like you had a wonderful celebration. We do hope you’ll come and stay again. Happy 60th to your husband Property Owner

• "Enjoyed everything about the cottage, a real cosy place."

  A couple of things could do with a small upgrade but that’s to be expected in an old cottage and adds to the character. Owners very helpful for any needs that we had.

  Thank you for your feedback. We are always looking at any improvements we can make and were happy to help. We also love the cosy character and are glad you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

• "Loved the cottage, It was everything we wanted."

  In the dark it was a bit hard to find as the front of the house is away from the road so might be handy to add to the directions. The owners were great and responded quickly when we made any contact. Overall would visit again

  Thank you. We’re glad you enjoyed your stay with us and note your comments about finding the cottage in the dark. We’ve asked Sykes to include the what three words location in their arrival email to help guests narrow down the location. Property Owner

• "A beautifully furnished, cosy cottage property."

  The cottage kitchen was well equipped with everything our group needed for a self-catering mini-break. The property is centrally heated throughout. As ours was an autumnal visit it was great to be able to light a log fire in the evening to add to the overall ambience! Great location, with easy access to, amongst other places, Penrith, Lowther Castle and The Lake District by car. Highly recommend.

  Thank you for your comments, it sounds like you enjoyed the cottage and the local area. We hope to welcome you back soon. Property Owner

• "Lovely period property with a rustic feel."

  Travelled with 3 little ones under 3 and 2 German Shepherds but still had plenty of space. Garden was perfect for the dogs and the horses in the field at the end made the toddlers stay. The hot tub was a welcome addition to relax at the end of a tiring day. Would love to return hopefully with some better weather

  Thank you for staying with us and for your kind comments. Our own German Shepherd also loves the big garden and her horse friends! Fingers crossed that you’ll be back when the sun is shining. Property Owner

• "Lovely Cottage, thank you for everything we had a wonderful time and would def recommend!"

  The only thing I would mention for slight improvement was that could have left more toiletries i.e toilet roll in relation to number of guests staying as we were max capacity guests and we ran out just before we left but other than that all was great & would come again, thank you :)

  Thank you for your feedback, we’re glad you enjoyed your stay. Rock Cottage is a self catering cottage and provides some complimentary toiletries for guests. We look forward to welcoming you again. Property Owner
