Comfort is well-received with mentions of cosy beds and a warm atmosphere. However, some guests noted the stone floors could be cold and suggested the addition of rugs or advising guests to bring slippers.
Facilities are generally good, with a well-equipped kitchen and comfortable bedrooms. However, there are several comments about the need for better instructions for the TV and heating, and some minor maintenance issues like the main oven not working and the kettle being difficult to refill.

About this property
This stone-built cottage rests in the delightful village of Giggleswick, North Yorkshire. Boasting character features over two floors, Rose Cottage welcomes families and couples looking to escape everyday life and explore the wonders of North Yorkshire. After a day of fell walking, retire to the charming sitting room to catch up on your rest, appointed with plush seating and a cosy woodburning stove which is sure to be used in the winter months. The kitchen is compact but comes well-equipped with all the essentials for home-cooking, including an electric double oven, halogen hob, microwave, fridge, freezer and even a dishwasher, so you won’t have to raise a finger when cleaning up! Move upstairs and discover the bedrooms; the master houses a king-size bed whilst the second room has a single, each neutrally presented and featuring ample storage, both beds filled with cosy feather duvets. The cottage has no designated parking however there is ample street parking opposite. Get to know the picturesque Dales village of Giggleswick, home to two fantastic pubs where you can refuel with a pint and pie, or head to Settle to find the nearest convenience store if you fancy cooking yourself. With a myriad of paths, lanes and bridleways from the doorstep, guests can experience walking and cycling through some of the most scenic countryside in the Yorkshire Dales, whilst for the more experienced and energetic guests there is plenty of the famous Three Peaks challenge. Other attractions in the area include the wonderful Falconry Centre and the stunning Carlisle Railway line, recognised as being one of the most scenic railway routes in Britain. Rose Cottage is a welcoming escape, whatever time of year.
This charming Ribblesdale village is located just across the river from the vibrant market town of Settle and beneath a limestone scar that is a component of the Craven fault. The 'date stones' over their doorways will indicate that many of the robust homes and cottages in this extremely picturesque location date to the 17th century. The picturesque St. Alkelda's church, which dates to the 12th century, and the iconic domed chapel of the illustrious Giggleswick School, which dominates the local skyline, remain the focal points of the village today. There are two pubs in Giggleswick, and Settle, a small market town, is close by and offers a wide range of services. The village of Ingleton is further away and has a beautiful waterfall trek, and the Three Peaks are nearby (for serious walkers, of course).

The cottage was warm, clean and comfortable and the log burner was a bonus as we dined in a coupe of evenings. Close proximity are two excellent pubs. Great location, we walked from the doorstep on several occasions and the cottage was a welcome retreat upon our return. Very satisfied, would definitely recommend Rose Cottage. Clare

We thoroughly enjoyed our week there, an ideal location for exploring the dales. Sadly I had a back injury so the nearby bus stop for services to Clitheroe came in handy on a few days. The Black Horse pub which was 2 mins away also came in handy, good food and ale. Will definitely stay again when I can walk normally and pain free again. Can heartily recommend this accommodation.

Lots of books and games. Nicely decorated. Bedrooms very nice and comfortable. Kitchen and bathroom looking tired and would benefit from updating. Central heating was on 24/7! Very hot at night. No off switch so had to adjust wall stat every hour or so. Nice neighbour helped us with rubbish collection times. Info was out of date. However, we had a very nice stay.
