And the properly layout is perfect for a family.
The garden is gorgeous. The house is spacious and the location is gorgeous. That bath in the main bathroom is the size of a small pool and itâs beautiful. However⦠there are some basic issues that should be sorted and one or two things that should be made clear on the listings. The main things that need resolving⦠1. Dirty hot tub. We arrived to water with a green tinge in it, not heated up, with a layer of scum on the top and debris in the bottom. Iâd have been tempted to think this was just unlucky⦠but thereâs comments in the guest book going back months complaining of the same thing, which just makes me think the water is never changed. There was a real smell in the little hut the hot tub was in too. So, despite this being one of the main reasons I booked the property, I just couldnât bring myself to get in it personally 2. Cleanliness in the kitchen. Thereâs a fly problem to start with, but I appreciate it isnât easy to resolve. However, if you know you have a load of flies, then cleanliness, in my view, should be one of the key things. We took dishes out that were dirty and needed rewashing. And when we took the air fryer out it was absolutely filthy⦠so again we just decided not to bother using it 3. Loads of the lights just donât work. Again, I saw this had been mentioned previously in the guest book. But it wasnât resolved. The main lights in the master bedroom donât work. The wall lights in the living room donât work. The lights in the second bedroom didnât work. 4. The couch was very lumpy, bumpy and oldâ¦not comfortable to sit on at all. When we were shaking the cushions up to try and make it more comfortable it was also clear it hadn't been cleaned in a REALLY long time. Things that need highlighting in the listing, I feel: 1. Huge area of nettles in the garden. I was traveling alone with 3 young children so was drawn by the garden. But thereâs a massive section of nettles on one side not fenced off. Appreciate stopping nettles growing is unfeasible. But pointing it out would be helpful or even fencing it off 2. Wifi is too slow to do anything beyond send text whatsapp messages. I appreciate the area has slow wifi issues. Average speeds in the postcode is only 10 mb per second. But the wifi in this house runs at no more than 1 mb per second. I mentioned before I was travelling alone with children. Add to the fact there was no mobile signal and ultimately, I needed wifi to be able to keep in touch with the childrensâ father and other people. So this was massively inconvenient. I know thereâs not much an owner can do about slow wifi all the time, but when someone advertises âwifiâ at a property, you assume it will be usable. I had specifically looked out for wifi because I know signal in the area can be patchy. Iâd also specifically looked for a hot tub but the hygiene issues were hugely, hugely off putting. Itâs worth adding that on the occasion I contacted the owner about it, despite the fact there was nothing they could do, they did respond immediately. But of course it was impossible to contact most of the time anyway because of a lack of phone signal and a very slow wifi network. In all, this is a beautiful property in a wonderful area. But a lack of cleanliness, poor maintenance and unclear advertising in regards to things like wifi left me personally very disappointed.

Despite COVID having impacted us all, the chance for exploring Cumbria, the Lakes etc was made all the more enjoyable by this fabulous little cottage.
Quite quirky but really well appointed, bedrooms were lovely, bathroom light and airy with plenty of hot water to satisfy our teenagers! But above all great to have a dog with us as well. Perfect location for him and a great exercising area that was secure to prevent any unexpected running off, by the Doodle that is. The local village of Armathwaite has two great pubs and we ate lunch in both! However, there can be only one winner, Fox and Pheasant did a cracking meal of chicken breast stuffed with haggis and whiskey creamy sauce, divine! All washed down with local Ale. Speaking of Ale, cannot recommend more highly than picking up a load of beer from a fabulous brewery called Ennerdale, do a delicious IPA that is seriously refreshing check out the link: http://www.ennerdalebrewery.co.uk/ Whilst your staying at the cottage, there are fresh eggs in the honesty box at the end of the lane, super tasty and fresh for a scrummy breakfast, just make sure you have some cash! Being next to a farm, you do need to time departure and return for when the dairy cows are led out to the fields, so you really do feel deep in farming country, but we loved it, so did Wilbur our Doodle, so many chickens, ducks and geese, just make sure you have your furry friends on a lead whe going out to avoid scaring the locals!! And lastly to Nick, who greeted us on arrival. Lovely chap and host who we exchanged a few laughs with, looking forward to booking our return Nick!

Disappointed we weren't advised the hot-tub was out of order.
We had specifically searched for a location that offered one. There was an out of order sign on hot-tub shed door. We had to get custodian of property to come sort out the beeping smoke dectector (we couldn't get it to stop). Asked him about hot-tub and said he would message owners. Messaged him later and he said owners confirmed it was not working. We had to make new plans for our evenings instead of using it. Fortunately, we brought a stick for the tv so we had other entertainment for the 2 kids during the evening. Besides the hot-tub, there were a few things that were also a bit disappointing about our stay. We couldn't get the tv to work in the bathroom; it seemed like the batteries were dead in at least 1 of the remotes for the tvs; wi-fi signal was not the best (guessing because of the remote location); couple of lightbulbs were burnt out. Mostly minor inconviences, other than hottub, but disappointed us a bit. Overall, house is very spacious and welcoming and is well laid out. The beds were very comfortable, bathroom and WC was good to have both, kitchen had numerous appliances and sufficient pots, pans and utensils. Wood burning fire was nice for the cooler evenings. Would have rated my recommendation and stay higher had the hot-tub been working.

Our stay at Rose Cottage was perfect and had everything we needed for our 8 night stay.
The property was clean, had comfortable beds, and all essential provisions you would expect for self-catering. Extras such as books and board games were also provided along with tourist information. The conservatory was ideal to enjoy a coffee and relax during the day, with the wood fire in the lounge providing cosy space to relax in the evening. The external utilty room was a real benefit for us, where we could leave walking boots, etc, without taking these in to the main property. There is also enough parking for the property with access to one of the garages also provided. The location was great with walks in the surrounding area or a short drive away depending on what you wanted to do. The small village of Dalston has a shop for groceries, with Carlisle only being 15 minutes away for bigger supermarkets. The owners were fantastic, provided recommendations, and also very accommodating to assist us. I would definitely recommend Rose Cottage and would stay again if in the area. Thank you to Julie for letting us stay at your wonderful cottage.

We would like to thank the owners of Rose Cottage for a very happy warm welcome from the minute we arrived, they showed us around the cottage and answered any questions we had and even put our special needs daughter at ease.
The cottage was very clean and tidy and you felt like you was at home and was well looked after and the little touches made it even more special. We loved it from the minute we stepped in the front door. The location was just in the right place and close to shops, attractions and anything else you needed and a pub just down the road. The people in the area was very friendly even the neighbours and was very welcoming too. It is lovely and peaceful there too. We loved that much we are definitely going back in the near future. We recommend to anyone we know and other people to stay at Rose Cottage cos you really would not get a lovelier place and nicer people that own Rose Cottage they really do care about there guest and treat you like family. We really do think Rose Cottage and the owners deserve 5**+++ rating and we really would give more if we could.
