Description

Rose Cottage is in a fantastic village location and offers comfortable accommodation for 4 people. While retaining lots of traditional features the owners continue to improve their cottage to ensure guests have everything they need while on holiday in the Lake District.

Situated in the centre of Elterwater village near the Britannia Inn, Rose Cottage offers good quality accommodation for 4 people. A front patio area overlooking the village Bowling Green, means you can really feel part of village life, or for a little privacy the elevated rear garden is a relaxing space to sit and read a book on a summers evening.

Enter the cottage through the front porch into a cosy lounge with a real fire, original ceiling beams, comfy sofas and a rocking chair, the lounge has an flat screen TV, smart TV, DVD player, bluetooth radio, a mini Hi Fi and wifi. Off the lounge is the Kitchen/Dining room with seating for six around a farmhouse table. The kitchen is fully fitted with Dishwasher, Microwave, Fridge, Freezer and electric double oven. We love the traditional yet functional space in Rose Cottage!

Heading upstairs, there is a heated drying cupboard with plenty of extra hanging space for outdoor gear. The master bedroom has an ensuite shower room, while the twin bedroom makes use of the main family bathroom. The bathrooms are modern and tastefully decorated. Both bedrooms overlook the front of the house, towards Langdale Beck and the village street.

What's included?

We want our holiday cottages to be a 'home for home'. All the beds are made up ready for you, towels are included so no need to bring those, and shower mats are also provided. Two tea towels and a set of oven gloves/oven cloth will be in the kitchen along with a starter pack that includes: washing up liquid, kitchen roll, toilet roll, basic cleaning products, a bin bag in each bin and a few dishwasher tabs. This is just to 'start you off'; you will need to buy your own once these have run out.

Rose cottage has space for one carefully parked car at the rear of the cottage.

Reviews

Another wonderful week spent at Rose Cottage; the perfect 'walkers' retreat, warm and cosy with the best log fire. The cottage is superbly equipped, especially the kitchen. The location could not be better, you could spend a week walking each day from the cottage and not have to drive anywhere. The parking space suits small cars, but with National Trust membership you can park free of charge at the car park opposite, so parking has never been an issue for us. With the Britannia Inn only 40 meters away you never need to worry about a good meal at the end of the day. The cottage is very dog friendly with very well thought out colour schemes so that you don't need to worry about leaving any marks on the floor if it is damp out side. Highly recommended if you are a walker with a dog.

Mr K,

Good base for walking holiday. This cottage is in central location with good size kitchen diner and comfortable beds. Decor and furnishings are tired and dated . For all practical purposes parking space is unusable on a regular basis.

Mr L,

The cottage is in a very good location, it is a reasonable size for 4 people and whilst the bathrooms are modern, the rest of the cottage felt a little tired. The parking spot is rather difficult to negotiate and not really suitable for larger cars.

Mrs B,

We have emailed a letter to Customer Services expressing our dissatisfaction with the property - especially the 'so-called' car parking space and the non-functioning of certain items in the cottage - we will leave it at that.

Rev G,

Fantastic location but be aware it's hard to find and car park is tiny, bordering on unusable unless you have a tiny car. BYO toilet paper, hand soap and fresh milk. One of the single beds not fit for sleeping on.

Mrs C,

Rose cottage is a really comfy and beautiful typical cottage. It’s very well equipped for a lovely home from home holiday. As it’s a cottage the ceilings are low and the windows are small. Elterwater is a great location as it’s easy to reach other places easily & there is also a good bus service. Please note: the parking space isn’t easy & is tight.

Mrs V,

The living room was very dark, the dark furnishings and dark carpet did not help and the sofas/ chairs were not comfortable. The picture on the website very misleading. The bathrooms were excellent and a lot of equipment in the kitchen which was great.

Mrs W,

Great little cottage of a very high standard and 3 doors from one of the best pubs in the lakes. Smashing

Mr B,

Rose Cottage is in a great location for the central fells, many walks from the door. Comfortable, with everything you need.

Ms E,
