Guests that stayed at this property said
Guests consistently commend the property for its exceptional cleanliness, describing it as spotless and immaculate across multiple reviews. The high level of cleanliness contributes significantly to the positive experiences reported.
The location is frequently highlighted as great, with easy access to local amenities, pubs, and scenic walks. The proximity to Lake Windermere and other attractions is also appreciated. Some concerns about parking and road busyness prevent a perfect score.
The cottage is described as cozy, comfortable, and well-furnished, with spacious rooms and a warm atmosphere. However, a few guests mentioned the beds being too soft or wobbly, which slightly affects the comfort score.
Facilities are generally praised for being well-equipped and maintained, with extra amenities like Sky, Netflix, and WiFi adding to the convenience. Some guests missed instructions for bins and recycling, which suggests a minor area for improvement.
The owners' thoughtfulness is evident through the provision of welcome packs, local walk maps, and other extras. While these gestures are highly appreciated, it is politely noted that such gifts, though delightful, are not guaranteed for every stay.
About this property
This semi-detached cottage is centrally located in the Cumbrian village of Cark-in-Cartmel. At Rose Cottage there is a king-size double bedroom, a twin and a single room, spread across the upper two floors.

The modern kitchen is fitted with all the appliances you could need for a short break, along with a dining table for mealtimes. To the outside is a sunny patio area where you can sip on a refreshing beverage whilst the taking the peaceful surroundings. Across the road you’ll find a local shop which is handy for picking up any essentials, as well as a cosy pub, The Engine Inn, which serves traditional pub grub. Why not savour a taste at the famous sticky toffee pudding shop before venturing on a countryside walk to burn off those extra calories? Bring along your bikes and take a nice long ride up to and around Lake Windermere, and when your done, store them safely in the lockable storage shed at the property. There is also a local railway station which runs up the west coast making an interesting and picturesque day out, allowing you to enjoy the coast line to Barrow-In-Furness, or in the opposite direction explore the popular Grange-over-Sands overlooking Morecambe Bay. With the Lake District National Park a short drive away and the Cumbria Coast to explore, Rose Cottage is an excellent base, any time of year.
Renowned for being the prettiest village in the Lake District, the little town of Cartmel in South Lakeland is a wonderful holiday destination. At the heart of this thriving community is the Priory Church, one of the finest ecclesiastical buildings in the north of England with its gatehouse still in use as the entrance to the settlement itself. Amidst cobbled streets and pretty streamside walks, are a range of quaint gift shops, antique shops, traditional pubs that serve real ale and the nationally renowned Michelin-starred restaurant L'Enclume. A well-loved destination for hill-walkers, the region is full of excellent trails through stunning, unspoilt countryside. In addition, there is the Campbell Legend Bluebird Exhibition, Lakeland Motor Museum and Hunt Racecourse all in the near vicinity.

Andrew
Very well maintained cottage with great attention to comfort and all modern conveniences. Spacious and very well situated for easy short walks to Cartmel - highly recommended - and other destinations. Great pub and useful shop within 50 yards of front door. Very practical stay for dog owners. Would recommend without hesitation!

The cottage was warm as soon as we entered inside which was immaculate and clean, all the rooms were spacious and decorated to a high standard. The bedrooms, kitchen, bathroom and lounge I could not fault and I look forward to returning! From our part of Lancashire to this part of the county is not to far for me to drive. Nigel J Dawson.
