"Had a lovely few days at Rose Cottage, convenient location, 5 mins from the railway station."
Cottage was immaculate and had everything you could possibly need. Some local walks for the dogs and written routes available in the cottage. It was an enclosed back yard but access was available through to the front of the cottage which meant a bigger dog could jump over the front wall, that said really enjoyed our stay and will be returning.
thank you. glad you enjoyed your stay. x Property Owner

"We spent 4 nights at Rose Cottage and enjoyed our stay there."
The location of the cottage is covenient for visiting Windermere and is very close to Holker Hall & Gardens. There is a small grocery store opposite to the cottage. Parking is off street; we didn't have any issue finding a parking space either in front of the cottage or in the neighbourhood. The cottage was tidy and spacious and had everything we needed. All the appliances are like new. There are also plenty of storage spaces in each bedroom. We'd recommend this cottage for visiting the Lake District.
thank you I'm glad you enjoyed your stay Property Owner

"Rose cottage was superb in every way."
We instantly felt at home, even our dog who tends to take a couple of days to settle, settled instantly. Great location for getting out and about the Lake District. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and we will definitely be returning next year. If you think the cottage looks good in the photos, it’s even better in real life
Thank you. Property Owner

"Exceptionally clean and comfortable cottage, with everything you could ask for in a holiday home."
There were no problems parking outside the cottage on the road and the courtyard at the back is a real sun trap. The location is great for the Lake District and the local area has many interesting places to visit. Would definitely recommend this cottage.

"Lovely setting."
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!
thank you Property Owner

"It was a pleasure to stay yet again in a Sykes Cottage and Rose Cottage at Cark, certainly came up to the mark."
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.

"Perfect location for visiting the Cark/Cartmel peninsula and South Lakeland ..."
Perfect location for visiting the Cark/Cartmel peninsula and South Lakeland area Off road parking Centre of Cark Upgraded but still charming 3 bed dog friendly cottage All amenities you need for a shirt or long stay Couldn’t fault it
-
"A well presented and maintained cottage that made for a superb holiday."
Well located for visiting the lakes and other attractions in the area yet far enough away from the visiting masses. Would definitely recommend and hope to visit again in the future.

"Fab cottage will book this again"

"I have stayed in many holiday cottages over the last 10 years since we got our first dog and I have never stayed in such a clean property."
Considering it was over 3 floors, the building was spotless!! The only shame was that we picked the house because it was close to a public house called the Engine Inn which took dogs and it was incredibly disappointing. The staff appeared drunk and despite serving food, they told us they weren't serving any more despite it being only 7pm. The staff were rude and unpleasant and it certainly spoilt one of our nights. Nothing to do with the house as it was perfect and would definitely visit again.
-
"Excellent cottage."
It's even nicer than the photos show. Great location. Spotless. Would highly recommend.

"Stayed in a few cottages in the same village."
The cottage is easy to locate and in a central position for the village and the surrounding shops, pubs, restaurants and a lovely artisan bakery in the square. Extremely clean and well equipped with everything you need to feel comfortable and relaxed. As the property is old the bedrooms are across 2 floors with a steep staircase to the twin and single room. All the bedrooms are spacious with plenty of wardrobe and draw space. There is no parking which may be an issue for some people, although there are places to park on the main road and on the side roads close to the property. Perfect location to visit many places on foot if you want to take advantage of the surrounding countryside, Grange-over-Sands,Holker Hall and Cartmel. Perfect location for us visiting Cartmel Races on the Sunday, would certainly book again.

"Loved our stay at Rose Cottage."
Fab area with shop and pub on the doorstep. Great walks for the dogs. Never a problem to park. The house was immaculate, beautifully decorated, clean and had everything we needed. Thanks for the extra touches of milk, tea and biscuits and the routes for a some local walks . Had some great days out in the Lakes, only regret is we should have booked in for longer!
-
"Fantastic cottage, was lovely having all the extra bits in like cloths, dishwasher tabs, tea towels etc."
plenty of room and beds comfy. Very nice little welcome pack too, needed a cuppa by the time we got there. All the little extras really make a difference. I would definitely recommend staying here. We will definitely be back. Thankyou

"We loved our time at Rose Cottage and would recommend it highly to other visitors."
We felt enormously welcome from the moment we entered. The owners had made every effort to create a warm home for us - thoughtfully providing a bottle of wine, delicious titbits and lovely Christmas decorations (including a tree!) in addition to "necessities" such as tea bags and milk. The cottage is very comfortably furnished and extremely well-equipped with everything you could want for a delightful stay. We left a coat behind and the owners immediately contacted us to arrange to return it. We are really grateful for their thoughtfulness in this respect.

"The property was very nice, clean and had everything you need."
We had lots of rain so we enjoyed Sky & Netflix & WiFi. It has very steep stairs to get upstairs to bedrooms & toilett so not great for very small children or old people. But really comfy, clean and well equipped cottage. Lovely village to walk around, however the road can be very busy. The Engine Inn wasn't very friendly unfortunately and you do have to book in advance even mid week if you want to dine there. The shop opposite is very convenient and friendly. The Holker Hall is beautiful and lovely to visit and their afternoon tea is massive and tasty. Grange is not far and lovely walk on promenade. Windermere lake is close and worth to take the boat ride around the lake. We had a very wet but lovely stay. The only thing I missed in the property was some instructions about bins? Or recycling instructions? Took us a bit to find the main bin.

"Lovely wee house."
Nicely and comfortably furnished and right at heart of the village. There's a shop and a pub right across the road. Kitchen had everything we needed though with 4 of us there was just enough room round the table in the kitchen! We had two dogs with us and there is easy access to country lanes for walking and fresh air.
-
"Overpriced and single mattresses were uncomfortable but very nice property otherwise."
-
"Lovely property, great open lounge/downstairs area."
Also loved the outsode table/picnic bench area. Only minor gripe was that the beds were too soft/wobbly for us. A firmer, less mobile mattress would maybe be better.
-
"Lovely cottage, great location."
We would definitely stay again.
-

"Everything was lovely - super clean,everything we needed."
Spacious, light house. Quiet attractive village and near many lovely places on the coast and in Lake District. The owners were very helpful - came immediately to sort out small heating setting glitch.

"The cottage is lovely - it’s cozy, very clean, got everything you need for a comfortable stay."
Location is great too. The hosts left us some provisions which were much appreciated and set the heating so it was warm all day. Would definitely recommend and we will definitely be back. Lovely break.
