"Lovely property just as described."
Comfortable and well equipped and in a great position to walk straight from the house. We'd definitely come again.
Many thanks for your kind feedback, the walk from the door to Wansfell with views over Lake Windermere and the Langdales remains our favourite, often finished with a pint by the fire at the Mortal Man in Troutbeck or a slice of cake at the The Old Post Office Tea Room at the end of the lane. We look forward to welcoming you back again.

"The cottage itself was lovely with fantastic valley views, but there is an issue with parking at the cottage if your group has more than one car."
There is only one identified parking space at the side of the property, although the owners believe that you can park two additional cars in the narrow country lane at the front of the property. When we tried that an angry farmer ( farmers use the lane at the front of the property 24/7 365 days a year) stopped and told us in no uncertain terms to move. Alternative Parking in the tiny hamlet of Troutbeck is otherwise very difficult, due to the narrow country lanes, and only possible at some distance from the cottage.
We're glad you enjoyed your stay at Rose Cottage and apologise for the farmer's response and the inconvenience caused by the parking situation during your stay.
We hope the photos give future guests a clear understanding that the additional parking outside the cottage is feasible, whilst leaving sufficient space for the farmer to access the lane.

"The only thing I would change is the mattress on the Kingsize bed which was very firm causing aches and disturbed sleep."
I obviously drew the short straw as the other two beds were fine.

"We’ve had a lovely time and will miss the cottage, I practically had to be dragged outside!"
I was so pleased to have experience of cooking on an aga a bit if a bucket list with me; quiet and much needed rest. Netflix sub was a nice touch and the logs and stove made it sooo cosy!!! We posted on our insta stories but alas didn’t tag you
We’re delighted that you had a restful Christmas at the cottage. Cooking with the AGA is surprisingly easy and helps add to the cosy winter feel. Please do tell all your friends on Instagram! Sorry we don’t have a page yet.

"Beautiful cottage in a fabulous location, a few more smaller saucepans and wooden spoons is needed."
Heating was set a little too high for my liking. 100% I will be booking this property again.

"This is a stunning house in the most beautiful location."
It’s equipped to the highest standard with everything you could possibly need.
We only have one small but important criticism - the loo brushes were dirty with faeces from previous holidaymakers!! Not the nicest experience! We intend no criticism to the owners but hope, rather, that this serves as constructive feedback for the cleaners.
Apart from that, we had the most wonderful stay and really hope to return.
We're pleased that you really enjoyed your stay, and look forward to welcoming you back next year. Your feedback has been passed on to the cleaners and the toilet brushes replaced, please accept our apologies for this experience.

"Rose Cottage is located in the picturesque village of Troutbeck, with amazing walks literally on your doorstep."
From its location overlooking the Troutbeck valley, even the grey skies and drizzly weather of our week at the end of July 2023 (the summer that wasn’t) couldn’t detract from the beauty of the outlook from the windows and garden of this delightful home. Inside are three lovely double bedrooms and three bathrooms, perfect for gatherings of friends or family. The well-equipped kitchen, with an AGA stove and conventional oven, is ideal if you enjoy dining at home. Homely, comfortable and spacious in a stunning setting, we were sad to leave both the cottage and the village, and would love to return one day.
Thank you for such lovely feedback, we're so pleased your family enjoyed their time in Troutbeck and we hope to see you again soon. We never tire of the views over the valley and the endless walks from the door.

"We loved our stay at Rose Cottage with our children and one year old grandchild."
Although the weather frustrated some of the things we had hoped to do we still managed to get out and Rose Cottage was a perfect place return to, being spacious enough for people to spread out and comfortable in each space. We were also very impressed with how beautifully this very old house has been adapted and changed without losing character.
We're glad you had a lovely time in the Lakes, and thank you for your kind comments. Rose Cottage was built in 1732 (did you find the date stone on the corner of the house?) and we love the beautiful flag stones in the kitchen and the timber ceilings downstairs. The downstairs bedroom is where the cows used to sleep many years ago!
We look forward to inviting you back to Rose Cottage again soon.

"We had a wonderful week at Rose Cottage."
A beautiful peaceful location and a really comfortable and tastefully renovated cottage. We enjoyed some great walks, many straight from the cottage door - really nice to be able to leave the car behind for a change. We also sampled the delights of the Queen's Head - excellent food and very friendly service. All in all, couldn't have been better.
Thank you for your kind comments. Troutbeck offers some of the best walking in the Lakes right from the door. Glad to hear you enjoyed the Queen's Head, two pubs in the village is a real treat, the log fire in the Mortal Man makes for cosy evenings in the winter.

"From the minute we arrived to the moment we left- Rose Cottage has been our beautiful holiday home for the week."
Rose Cottage is beautifully decorated in every room - the kitchen is such a great place to socialise over meals & the lounge is relaxing with fantastic art work. The garden area is colourful and welcoming with beautiful flowers and a view which changes at every glance !- sit on the bench and say hello to walkers ,& runners passing by !- each bedroom is immaculate and the beds are so comfy so provide a great night's sleep after a long day of walking and sight seeing. 3 bathrooms to chose from - again tasteful & inviting for a soak at the end of the day. The village is friendly and the location is first class. Just the best weeks holiday my family & I have had in a long time - we plan to return later in the year - highly recommended.
Thank you for your comments, we are so pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay.
We look forward to welcoming you again.
