"Roselea was a lovely house in a great central location."
Some lovely views of the hills from the property. It was spotlessly clean and had everything you needed. There are 3 double bedrooms all a good size and 2 large modern bathrooms. Kitchen facilities were easy to use and well eqipped.We had two good parking spots which meant we could come and go but to be honest there was such a lot to do from your front door you can leave the car.
Dear Gillian, thank you for taking the time to post your review. pleased you and your family enjoyed your stay at Roselea. Kind regards Emma Property Owner
-
"Lovely cosy house, exceptionally clean, comfy beds, well equipped in a perfect location near to the town centre."
Two spacious bathrooms with lovely showers and a bath for aching limbs after a long walk. Plenty of room throughout the house for 6 adults and the two parking spaces are a real bonus in such a busy town. Nice welcome gift of Prosecco and cookies and excellent communication from the owner. Really can’t fault Roselea and have already booked another week
Dear Simon, Many thanks for your fabulous review and pleased you enjoyed your stay, we look forward to welcoming you and your family back next March. Emma Property Owner

"Everything is perfect and have been coming for a few years now :) will be booking again next year!"

"Having a stone floor downstairs and wooden in bathroom a mop would have been useful did mention it to local office no response."
some might find bed a bit hard but that a matter of taste. best wood stove we have had.
Dear Anthony, Many thanks for the feedback. There is now a mop at Roselea. Pleased you liked the wood burner it does put out alot of heat when it gets going. Property Owner

"This was our second stay at Roselea - it is very a comfortable house, in an excellent position for exploring Keswick and taking walks around Derwent Water."
Thank you for a warm welcome and another comfortable stay.
Many thanks for taking the time to write a review. Lovely to hear you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner
-
"Almost faultless in position and facilities."
Having two parking spots in the centre of Keswick was exceptionally useful. Such a lovely, comfortable place to stay. It was the perfect location and opportunity for two couples to meet up to walk together and explore the area. In spite of the weather, we had a completely brilliant week and a big factor in this was Roselea itself.
That's fantastic to hear you enjoyed your stay in our holiday cottage Ian. Many thanks for taking the time to write a review. The 2 parking spaces are a great asset and I agree there are lots of lovely walks from Roselea's doorstep Property Owner
-
"Most impressive cottage."
Maintained at a high standard. Very comfortable. Very close to the town centre and with it's own parking space. Highly recommended. We would use again if available.
Many thanks for your review, it's great to hear guests feedback. We would welcome you back anytime Property Owner
-
"It was a lovely cottage, just off the Main Street."
It had two excellent parking spaces plus there was roadside parking sometimes available. Five adults were in our party, it was very comfortable and well equipped. Hope to go back next year.
Many thank for you review Hilary, pleased you enjoyed your stay, the 2 parking spaces are a great asset to the cottage. We look forward to welcoming you back next year. Property Owner

So pleased you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner
-
"Roselea is in a great position in Keswick, everything was walkable, which was so convenient, we could leave the car behind a lot of the time."
The property is very comfortable & well-equipped, it really felt like a home from home and we loved the Herdy items around the house
Pleased you enjoyed your stay at Roselea, Keswick. The parking is very handy , I like the Herdy products too, lovely design and colours. Thanks for booking our cottage Property Owner
-
"Roselea is a fantastic home from home, beautifully clean and the bathrooms are great."
It is so convenient for all the amenities in Keswick and we were very impressed in the way the Holiday Company and Owner kept in touch with us, firstly to see that we had settled in on arrival and secondly to deal with a minor problem with keys. There are so many wonderful places to visit in The Northern Lakes and Derwent Water itself is a delight. Plenty of places to eat in Keswick and there is a great market in the centre every Saturday and Thursday. Thank you Emma for all the little Easter treats you left for us and also the Prosecco which was very much appreciated. Hopefully we will be back in the not too distant future and thoroughly recommend staying at Roselea. Thank you again.
Many thanks for your feedback, pleased you enjoyed your stay in Roselea exploring the area. Property Owner

"Great holiday home in an ideal location with parking."
The house had everything you could possibly need and was very clean and comfortable. We will definitely be back here
-
"Another fabulous stay here."
Perfectly located in the centre of Keswick, this three bedroomed house is spacious, cosy and, in Winter months, an absolute joy to live in with downstairs underfloor heating. Plenty to see and do in Keswick and wider areas to explore on foot, by car and bus.
-
"What a great accommodation and in a brilliant location just off the main square in Keswick yet still quiet and peaceful."
The 2 parking spaces are ideal. All aspects of the cottage were excellent: clean, comfortable with everything required for a week or 2 stay.
-
"We had a wonderful week at Roselea."
We loved the house so comfortable and cosy. Beds so comfortable and bathrooms luxurious.We loved being so close to Keswick and all the amenities.The house has everything you need to have a relaxing holiday. Will highly recommend
-
"Roselea very comfortable cottage, well located close to Keswick town centre."
2 parking spaces made life v easy.
-
"Well maintained beautiful house"
-
"Quality furnishings, well fitted kitchen, excellent bathrooms, parking, super location in Keswick."
We had a great time.and would recommend Roselea without hesitation.
-
"This was our second stay at Roselea and the standards seem to have slipped slightly: whilst sleeping six there were only three wine glasses in the cottage."
We went into the office in Keswick and the staff member said she would email the owner straight away and get some more glasses to us. None came while we were there. We subsequently found there were only five dinner plates. The bed in the top floor bedroom was very uncomfortable as the mattress had a delve in the middle. The downstairs floor appeared to only have had superficial cleaning, round the edges and underneath the side tables was still dusty. On a positive note I would like to express that none of the above detracted from our enjoyment of our holiday. The cottage is in a great location and has the added benefit of two parking spaces. I'm sure we will be back!
-
"Excellent accommodation in great location with super facilities."
-
"Roselea is a lovely holiday house for 6 people / well maintained, spotless & comfortable, 2 very modern bathrooms, modern kitchen."
We cooked every evening as it was such a lovely space to relax . the shared garden is good for drying washing, lovely - we hope to go back. It’s a perfect location for Keswick town centre.
-
"Overall we had a good holiday."
The location is very central and convenient but the house is not what it appears in the photos. It is rather dark and miserable. The beds are not very comfortable at all. However, there was a good selection of games and maps. The cooker works well. The car parking spaces are very useful and easily accessible.
-
"We thought the effort put in to providing a well equipped, clean and homely house was much appreciated!"
We would suggest to anyone that they book Roselea. There are so many great walks and activities available to you that you don't need to use your car very much , if at all.You can leave it in one of the two spaces provided for you.
-
"Third time we have used the cottage and we love it!"
-
"This is a lovely house in the heart of Keswick with 2 parking spots."
House is well decorated and furnished with great bathrooms. Beds were comfortable and high quality bed linen. Just a couple of observations.....there wasn't a free cupboard in the kitchen to store our food. Maybe the addition of some shelves in the kitchen would free up some cupboard space. The large bedroom on the first floor would benefit from a chest of drawers as there was only a wardrobe. Would highly recommend this property for a comfortable stay.
-
"The property was really comfy and had a nice homely feel with an excellent location."
The only thing that would have made it perfect was a downstairs loo as we were 3 pairs of over 60`s but I guess that would suit a family with young children also. Thanks very much and we would definitely stay again and recommend it to friends.
-
"Great location"
-
"Delightful cottage, excellently located and well appointed with everything you could possibly wish for."
We were very comfortable throughout, what a wonderful stay! We've definitely found our favourite cottage in Keswick and will be back, hopefully again and again! Slight con: the communal grassy area out back seems to have become a dog toilet, despite signs prohibiting this, with people taking their dogs there to do their business. Not the owners fault but this is also the communal clothes drying area and I was loathed to let my children play on the grass
-
"Beautiful cottage , perfect location , will definitely return!"
-
"Fabulous property in the best location."
Such a cozy feel to the house. We loved our stay. Only 1 comment..Prosecco glasses please. Not quite the same drinking the bottle that was there on arrival (thank you very much) out of wine glasses, but we coped! Ha ha xx
-
"An excellent property in an excellent location, everything that we needed was provided and we had no issues at all."
..very well maintained and clean. We couldn't really fault it though the one thing I may add is on the travel instructions it may be worth adding on turning into Stanger Street turn left into Hodgsons Yard for parking and the rear of the house, we took a while to find it!!
Many thanks for your feedback, we will add the information to the directions to get to Roselea. Pleased you enjoyed your stay. ☺ Property Owner
-
"Overall a wonderful experience!"
A lovely house in an excellent location with the added bonus of parking for 2 cars. The house was immaculate and the beds were super comfortable. We will definitely be returning again in the future!
-
"Beautiful property, exceptionally clean and comfortable and very convenient for Keswicks facilities."
We walked or ran on the fells every day, never had to use the car. Especially loved the huge map on the dining room wall, great for planning our routes.
-
"We loved staying at Roselea, the property is excellent, very comfortable and well thought out."
Would thoroughly recommend it!
-
"We enjoyed ourselves so much we were looking to book again for next year, but were appalled and disappointed to see that the price had increased by 25%."
What a shame you felt the need to make such a drastic change to prices - wonder what the reason was?
-
"The house was so lovely and the location was excellent we all had a brilliant time"
-
"Roselea is a fantastic holiday home, very well appointed and laid out."
Excellent location and parking. Highly recommended and congratulations to the owners
-
"Nice accommodation would definitely return at the same price."
Good location, in walking distance of the local town centre and Latrigg fell, if you fancy a trek…
-
"We have stayed at this cottage for 3 years and absolutely love it."
My feedback is that going from £1150 ish to £1750 for the same week next summer is a bit high ! Too much for us sadly.
-
"The locks on the front and back doors are difficult to open and close especially for people with a poor grip."
I consider this a fire hazard and needs fixing now. The email from Sykes gave contradictory information on how to access the keys in the key safe. The front garden key safe is at a ridiculous height - the back door key safe is far better and near the car park.
-
"The house is excellent."
We have stayed before and loved it. Now also has a dedicated parking space. Location and everything about the house is just about perfect.
-
"Excellent location; comfortable house."
Will definitely book again.
-
"Beautiful cosy cottage."
Perfect location plus parking for 2 cars.
-
"We spent a few days at Roselea before Christmas and when we arrived were delighted to see that a Christmas tree had been decorated for us and there were some Christmas crackers, prosecco and festive biscuits left on the table."
The cottage was just as it is described and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We didn't have to use the car as we could easily walk into Keswick and to the lake. The cottage is spacious and very well equiped with comfortable beds and hot water whenever it is needed. We will definitely be back some time in the future!
-
"The house was really lovely and as present."
The info provided by Sykes in advance was accurate and helpful.
-
"The house is in a nice location."
Nice size for a family of 4. Newer kitchen and bathrooms. We wish there is a parking.
-
"Rose Lea was the perfect cottage for our family of six adults and three week old baby ."
There was plenty of space and the facilities were spot on with everything you could need for a relaxing break . The cottage was nicely decorated and very comfortable and in a perfect position just two minuets walk from the main square . So for a perfect place to stay in Keswick book Roselea and you will not be disappointed, we will definitely book again in the future .
-
"Fabulous house in a fabulous place, spotlessly clean."
-
"Beautiful house Fabulous location Wonderful holiday"
-
"The cottage was spotless."
All facilities you could ask for . Would highly recommend this cottage to anyone wanting to stay in Keswick . Thank you for a great holiday
-
"The house was perfect ."
Everything we needed. Games were welcomed. Log burner was cosy. Brilliant location. Will definitely look to return.
-
"A really lovely cottage very close to the town centre."
We had an amazing holiday. Keswick is a great little town and very welcoming. Would look to go again to the same cottage. Only drawback was the lack of dedicated parking space however this didn’t cause us any issues plus owners are working on getting a space in the future. Sykes staff were also great.
-
"Excellent location, very well done up and maintained property."
Would be nice if basic toiletries can be provided. Will certainly come back and recommend to friends.
-
"Online booking was simple and excellent email information on the cottage, its situation and key collection."
The cottage itself was beautifully refurbished, comfortable, clean and fully equipped kitchen and literally minutes from the town centre. We would certainly recommend this property to friends.
-
"Perfect location for Keswick centre truly loved the cottage the owners of ..."
Perfect location for Keswick centre truly loved the cottage the owners of roselea have thought of everything to make it home from home would truly recommend :))
-
"Cottage was lovely, comfortable and practical for outdoors people who come to the lakes with its stone floors down stairs."
Clearly had been done to a high standard. Brilliant location too. Staff on day of arrival were also great, very friendly and welcoming.
-
"Beautiful cottage done to a high specification with lots of added home comforts."
Excellent location, highly recommended
-
"This was our second visit to Roselea, and we weren't disappointed."
A lovely house with some nice home comforts. Great location just off the high street, and perfectly located to explore the Northern Lakes
-
"We loved being so close to the town, booths supermarket round the corner, we used it like a larder, in every day!"
The house was warm, welcoming, and comfortable. Everything we needed. Being able to walk to the lake or hills from the door a big bonus.
-
"This cottage was the most amazing find in keswick."
we have stopped in Kewick many times but first time at Roslea and we will choose to stay here going forward. The place had a lovley modern feel but still maintained the cottage look. The cottage has been done to the highest standards and feels very homely.The map wallpaper is an excellent idea as it helps plan out your time of where you can go whilst in the lakes. The cottage is in the heart of the town, just a small stroll into the market place to find all the lovely shops and resteraunts. Amazing sums it up . The Kelly,s
-
"The Cottage was just lovely."
Beautifully decorated and furnished to a very high standard. Location was absolutely perfect with everything in walking distance. Couldn’t have been happier with our stay and would definitely look at returning. Thank you
-
"A beautiful cottage everything just perfect"
-
"Very central but quiet location just up the road from all the pubs and shops."
The cottage is beautifully furnished with a luxury kitchen and bathrooms. The garden has a nice private sunny area for sitting out. Free parking in the road is usually ok and we didn’t have any problems. We didn’t need the car much as there a lovely walks from the door. I would definitely recommend this cottage for a holiday in Keswick. Also The Wainwright pub and Skiddaw Hotel restaurant and the chippy at the end of the street. We went to the theatre which was very good and We also walked around Derwentwater lake and did the Railway walk. Great holiday - thank you
-
"Fabulous house in a great location."
A tumble dryer and also one of the rooms being twin beds would have made it perfect.
-
"Lovely, clean, newly renovated cottage situated right in the middle of Keswick and perfect for our family."
Parking was no issue while we were there. Excellent service from Sykes.
-
"This is the best place we've ever visit in Uk."
Keswick is ideally situated to some of The Lake Districts most beautiful fells. Wish we could have stayed forever :) We loved the accommodation on 'Roselea' and where it is set,they prepared a cold Proseco and some crakes for us and we were lucky enough to have fabulous weather and I honestly can't think of anything negative.
-
"Rosalea was very nice, obviously just been done up to a high standard and was spotless."
The location is ideal for the centre of Keswick. A few things that would have made it better / make it unlikely that we would go back: 1. Parking - really difficult to get parked on the street. When we arrived we ended up blocking the road and unloading all our things into front yard whilst being beeped. 2. All double beds in the house, the kids fight in a double bed so we had to spilt them up. Would ensure next time we choose a property with option of single beds for them 3. Only 6 knives, cups, bowls etc. Meant you had to wash up after every meal. Felt a little stingy especially given how much we paid for 4 nights (half term so high season) 4. Recycling - rather complicated system in operation in Keswick with alternate week recycling collection with paper having to go in a separate bin and plastic/ glass in a purple bag. We could only find a general bin and no paper bin nor recycling bags - a neighbour explained the system and also that the collection was delayed as it was a bank holiday week - a few extra lines in the welcome information to explain the process would have helped us. Overall we had a great holiday and hope the feedback is useful to help make Roselea even better than it is.
-
"Fantastic location, parking on the street not great however we found that the shoppers left around 6pm so we were able to move our car onto the street later in the evening."
House was beautifully decorated, and newly refurbished. A few things missing that could have made the stay 100% perfect. Such as drinking glasses or pint glasses for beer. A shoe rack for muddy boots in the hallway would be a good addition too. Other than that, a truly enjoyable stay and a beautiful property.
