We had a wonderful stay at Rose Dale cottage. It had everything we needed for a relaxing time and we especially enjoyed keeping warm by the log fire.We would recommend this cottage to family and friends wishing to stay in the northern part of the Lake District and we hope to be able to stay here again.
