This was our first stay at Rose cottage but it won't be our last. It was beautifully appointed and right in the heart of where we wanted to be. The cottage was spotlessly clean and had everything you could need for a stay in the Lakes. Perfect.

It was an amazing place to stay right in the heart of Ambleside.

Deborah

Loved our time at Rose Cottage very central for shopping eating out and setting out on a lovely walk. The cottage is beautiful and has everything you need and more.

Melanie

Just returned home after a fabulous week in Rose Cottage. The house has such a warm and cosy feel to it. The snug area is fabulous with views over the river, you could sit and watch the water all day. The bedrooms are warm and comfortable with lovely comfortable beds and great onsuits. The location is right in the heart of Ambleside so really easy to pop over to the shops or pubs. Lots of great walks around Ambleside to discover. We will definitely be returning to Rose Cottage in the future

Situated right in the middle of Ambleside, perfect for the many pubs and restaurants. The kitchen is well equipped and the house had everything we needed. Lovely place to stay.

Louise

We had a fantastic time staying at the outstandingly lovely Rose Cottage. Everything was better than given in the details The owners have obviously given a lot of thought on how to please their guests, with great success. Maybe better seating around the dining table, but this is not a complaint 4 very happy ladies from Norway.

Alexandra

Rose Cottage is the holiday cottage that all holiday cottages should aspire to be! Perfect location we didn't use the car all week! & the most comfortable holiday home we've ever been to we've been to quite a lot!. This was our third stay here, and it won't be the last nowhere else can come close.

Darran

Absolutely superb property nothing more you could ask for. As for the location ideally situated in the heart of Ambleside . The host went above and beyond to ensure our stay was faultless. Highly recommend.

Samantha

Wow, what an absolute gem of a cottage! Modern, spotlessly clean, spacious, well equipped, perfect location, in fact the only thing wrong with Rose Cottage is that we had to leave.

We have been coming to the Lakes for many years and have stayed in many different houses but Rose Cottage was absolutely the best! Everything was perfect. The house was so clean and well equipped and everything was exactly as the photos. As for the location you just couldnt ask for more. The parking permits were also most welcome. The hosts were lovely too and checked in on us to make sure everything was ok. Super house for our family of 5

We had a fantastic stay, lovely welcome basket was a treat. Very clear instructions in the manual. Lots of lovely extras. Couldnt be in a better location. Wish we could give them 10 stars x

Eleanor

The property was wonderful. It felt cosy, warm, and super clean. Comfy beds, too. We felt right at home as a family. Everything was a moments throw away. There were loads of shops around, plenty of places to eat, and no shortage of drinking venues from hot to cold!. We loved the ability to just jump in the car and explore the Lake District. We would 100 return.

Rose Cottage was fabulous. Welcome pack was a lovely touch. The attention to detail was visible throughout the house. Not often you see luxury fluffy towels in a holiday home. Had a need to contact owner who was prompt in providing helpful advice. Really would highly recommend this beautiful home. You wont be disappointed

We had the best time at Rose Cottage as a family of mixed ages, the cottage was suitable for everyone including our little puppy. The owners had thought of everything and the welcome hamper was hugely appreciated. The only thing I would suggest would be another baby gate for the downstairs snug. Rose Cottage is in an amazing location, right in the centre of Ambleside. We all will definitely be returning, we had an amazing and comfortable stay. Thank you!

Jacqueline

Rose Cottage is beautiful. We stayed with family for a birthday celebration and it was perfect. A great big kitchendining area. The living room was so cosy and the snug a great place for everyone to chill. The whole house is decorated and furnished to a high standard. Its in a fantastic location. We were lucky with the weather so got chance to make use to of both garden areas. There was a lovely welcome box with lots of treats. We will definitely be back.

Graham

Lovely accommodation in a very convenient location.

Beautiful , spotless and pristine cottage in a great location in central Ambleside. Welcome pack was delicious too .Highly recommend this cottage .

Beautiful house right in the center of Ambleside. The house was spotless and equipped to a very high standard. We were very impressed with it all. There are two outside areas which are fully enclosed and safe for your dog. Weather was great so we made full use of these especially as they get the sun all day, two garden umbrellas are a helpful touch. Welcome pack was generous. All in all we would recommend this house and will return. Ambleside is a fun place to stay with plenty of walks and things to do right on your door step.

Amanda

Rose cottage was amazing and in a perfect location, we will definitely be staying there again.

Tamsin

Cottage was very comfortable clean and home away from home where little things made a difference eg not pages and pages of house rules! Boot room was invaluable. A noisy but very convenient location. Enjoyed our stay immensely and parking worked a treat!

Maurice

This was our second stay at Rose cottage and will not be our last. Fantastic location and is only bettered by the beautiful house. The cleanliness of the property is second to none. Lovely weekend surrounded by the family and in stunning surroundings what more can one ask.

Deborah

Lovely cottage in great central location have stayed before with our family just fabulous can also recommend the local vet who we sadly had to use they were so sensitive and kind.

Really enjoyed the stay at Rose Cottage. The central location was brilliant being able to walk to the numerous local bars and restaurants was a huge bonus. The house was great, very comfy and clean and plenty of space for 7 of us. Would definitely recommend.

Andrew

We had a thoroughly enjoyable time in the extremely well furnished and maintained property cannot recommend it highly enough location excellent, and facilities outstanding.

Rose Cottage is a really lovely property, so clean and tidy with great facilities. Our family of 8 with 2 dogs really loved Rose Cottage, the beautiful location with running stream next door,and wonderful local bakery opposite and such a fantastic warm property to return home to. The sunken tv room was great with the separate room to be able to play board games really worked for our family group! great memories! great holiday! Thank you!

The owners made us feel so welcome made us a lovely welcome hamper. We spent Christmas time at the cottage and my mum and dads 45th wedding anniversary which the owners kindly met us early so I could decorate the house for a surprise for my parents. The cottage was immaculate and had everything you would need 1010 for us and would definitely book again.

What a fabulous cottage. The location is Amazing. You dont need your car. Park up with the free pass provided at car park opposite. From the moment we arrived we knew we were going to have a great time. Large welcoming kitchen, great for large groups. Fabulous welcome hamper. Thoughtfully decorated. Lots of utensils and plates and glasses that all match! . Views out across the river from the snug. Absolutely spotless. I cant recommend Rose Cottage enough. The communicator owner was brilliant.

Alexandra

Just returned from our second stay at Rose Cottage & I can't say enough good things about it! It's in the perfect location for all that Ambleside has to offer, with shops, pubs & restaurants a stones throw away. There are lots of walks from the door, meaning that we rarely moved the car from the very convenient car park with a free permit included with the cottage. The cottage is really comfortable, with everything you need for a relaxing stay. Furniture, bed linen & towels, crockery & cutlery are all really nice quality. The view from the snug out to the beautiful beck is so mesmerising you barely need the 50 inch smart tv

Catherine

The property was perfect for our group 6 adults, 2 teenagers and a dog. Location was perfect. Very well equipped with everything we needed. Lovely welcome basket which was well appreciated by all and got our weekend off to a good start. Parking permits worked well. Beds very comfortable and showers were great. All in all a beautiful cottage and would def recommend. Catherine.

Samantha

Beautiful property, great location for local amenities and for exploring the Lakes . House was immaculately clean and fantastic for 3 couples.
