Sustainable Property
Sustonica, the first global sustainability standard for holiday lets.
Our aim is to create lasting holiday memories and we intend to do so both responsibly and sustainably.
To deliver on this we've set out a number of environmental and social pledges which help to focus our efforts;
you can read more about them in our Impact Report.
This is why we've partnered with Sustonica, the first global certification for holiday lets,
to support our owners to be more sustainable.
The Sustonica certification focuses on four key areas: energy conservation, water conservation,
waste reduction and promoting inclusiveness. They are on a mission to become the most widely
recognised sustainability standard for holiday rentals and a catalyst to reduce emissions of holiday
lets and influence guests to reduce their own household consumption too.
Properties that display the Sustonica badge have successfully passed the criteria,
which align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Global Sustainable Tourism Council standards,
and their owner has made a commitment to look after our planet as well as you.
Slightly disappointed as there wasn’t the same high level of welcome pack, just your big standard Travelodge style box of “essentials” which given the quality and cost of the cottage didn't really resonate with us. Also no fire lighters provided, just an empty box, so on a cold first night we expected more. No instruction on how to turn the heating on in the “house manual” therefore we had to call LL for info. Also the dishwasher doesn’t clean pots that well and the shower upstairs seem to have a mind of its own, and dripped randomly during the night. That said we love the property and location hence our return, just disappointed with the small things that make the stay memorable. Maybe we will look elsewhere later in the year.

"We have given feedback directly to the owners."
They were very helpful to us, having made direct contact to check our welfare, as they were aware that Troutbeck exerienced a power cut just before Christmas.

"Beautiful cottage in a wonderful village, great running routes all around"
Thanks, really pleased to hear you enjoyed your time at the cottage. Troutbeck really is one of the best places to run/walk from the door. Multiple routes up Wansfell over to Ambleside, or head along the tops to bag a few Wainwrights!

"Thankyou for letting us stay in your beautiful cottage."
It was perfect for our needs. The grandparents had downstairs with their own bedroom, bathroom and sitting room and my husband and I and our adult children had the upstairs bedrooms. The main lounge and kitchen diner were perfect for all of us. There was plenty of kitchen equipment and it was fantastic to have three bathrooms.
The garden is lovely but unfortunately the weather was very wet for us so we didn’t get to enjoy the lovely outdoor seating and bbq.
The Aga top made cooking for 6 difficult at times because you could only use two pans at a time and with my daughter being vegetarian and the rest of us eating meat meant cooking dinner took some planning, However the Aga itself was easy to use and having the electric oven/grill and microwave as well gave options.
There was a strong smell of oil in the cupboard to the left of the Aga and if the kitchen door was closed overnight there was a strong smell in the kitchen in the morning.
The position and views of the cottage are amazing and if we can, we would love to return to explore the area more.
Your neighbour was friendly but she has her own strong opinions as to the parking and these differ from your instructions.
Our cars seemed safe and we had no complaints from the farmer or other road users.
We visited your parish church- Jesus Church on Sunday and everyone was very friendly and welcoming.
Thank you for the lovely feedback and so happy that it suited the needs of your family. Hopefully next time you come to Troutbeck the sun will be shining and you can enjoy the many walks from the door!

"We had a fabulous stay at Rose Cottage."
It is a lovely cottage with a good layout, nicely decorated, spotlessly clean and well equipped. Plus it benefits from beautiful views from most windows.
Our week was unseasonably cold for June and although the aga heated most of the cottage, the downstairs suite was quite chilly. However this was quickly rectified by the owner once notified.
Thank you for the lovely feedback, we’re glad you enjoyed Rose Cottage and we look forward to welcoming you back again soon.

"A truly fantastic cottage - very clean, immaculately decorated throughout with beautiful furnishings, and very comfortable."
We were there for 2 weeks and had everything we could need for our stay, including a lovely welcome hamper from the owners which was such a nice touch.
The location is also ideal - only a 10/15 minute drive to Windermere or Ambleside. There are also some very good walks that you can do from the cottage itself. Troutbeck is a lovely village - it has 2 excellent pubs and a village post office shop that has all the essentials. The views over Troutbeck from the cottage are stunning.
Will definitely be booking to stay again soon!
Thank you for such a lovely review, it means a lot to us hearing that you enjoyed staying in Troutbeck and all that is has to offer. We look forward to welcoming you back to the cottage again soon!

"Lovely property just as described."
Comfortable and well equipped and in a great position to walk straight from the house. We'd definitely come again.
Many thanks for your kind feedback, the walk from the door to Wansfell with views over Lake Windermere and the Langdales remains our favourite, often finished with a pint by the fire at the Mortal Man in Troutbeck or a slice of cake at the The Old Post Office Tea Room at the end of the lane. We look forward to welcoming you back again.

"The cottage itself was lovely with fantastic valley views, but there is an issue with parking at the cottage if your group has more than one car."
There is only one identified parking space at the side of the property, although the owners believe that you can park two additional cars in the narrow country lane at the front of the property. When we tried that an angry farmer ( farmers use the lane at the front of the property 24/7 365 days a year) stopped and told us in no uncertain terms to move. Alternative Parking in the tiny hamlet of Troutbeck is otherwise very difficult, due to the narrow country lanes, and only possible at some distance from the cottage.
We're glad you enjoyed your stay at Rose Cottage and apologise for the farmer's response and the inconvenience caused by the parking situation during your stay.
We hope the photos give future guests a clear understanding that the additional parking outside the cottage is feasible, whilst leaving sufficient space for the farmer to access the lane.

We only have one small but important criticism - the loo brushes were dirty with faeces from previous holidaymakers!! Not the nicest experience! We intend no criticism to the owners but hope, rather, that this serves as constructive feedback for the cleaners.
Apart from that, we had the most wonderful stay and really hope to return.

"Rose Cottage is located in the picturesque village of Troutbeck, with amazing walks literally on your doorstep."
From its location overlooking the Troutbeck valley, even the grey skies and drizzly weather of our week at the end of July 2023 (the summer that wasn’t) couldn’t detract from the beauty of the outlook from the windows and garden of this delightful home. Inside are three lovely double bedrooms and three bathrooms, perfect for gatherings of friends or family. The well-equipped kitchen, with an AGA stove and conventional oven, is ideal if you enjoy dining at home. Homely, comfortable and spacious in a stunning setting, we were sad to leave both the cottage and the village, and would love to return one day.
Thank you for such lovely feedback, we're so pleased your family enjoyed their time in Troutbeck and we hope to see you again soon. We never tire of the views over the valley and the endless walks from the door.

"We loved our stay at Rose Cottage with our children and one year old grandchild."
Although the weather frustrated some of the things we had hoped to do we still managed to get out and Rose Cottage was a perfect place return to, being spacious enough for people to spread out and comfortable in each space. We were also very impressed with how beautifully this very old house has been adapted and changed without losing character.
We're glad you had a lovely time in the Lakes, and thank you for your kind comments. Rose Cottage was built in 1732 (did you find the date stone on the corner of the house?) and we love the beautiful flag stones in the kitchen and the timber ceilings downstairs. The downstairs bedroom is where the cows used to sleep many years ago!
We look forward to inviting you back to Rose Cottage again soon.

"We had a wonderful week at Rose Cottage."
A beautiful peaceful location and a really comfortable and tastefully renovated cottage. We enjoyed some great walks, many straight from the cottage door - really nice to be able to leave the car behind for a change. We also sampled the delights of the Queen's Head - excellent food and very friendly service. All in all, couldn't have been better.
Thank you for your kind comments. Troutbeck offers some of the best walking in the Lakes right from the door. Glad to hear you enjoyed the Queen's Head, two pubs in the village is a real treat, the log fire in the Mortal Man makes for cosy evenings in the winter.

The garden area is colourful and welcoming with beautiful flowers and a view which changes at every glance !- sit on the bench and say hello to walkers ,& runners passing by !- each bedroom is immaculate and the beds are so comfy so provide a great night's sleep after a long day of walking and sight seeing. 3 bathrooms to chose from - again tasteful & inviting for a soak at the end of the day.

Where you’ll be staying
TROUTBECK
Windermere 3 miles; Ambleside 4 miles.
The small Lakeland village of Troutbeck can be found between its more famous neighbours Windermere and Ambleside, close by the Kirkstone Pass. A mixture of houses, cottages and farms, the village is scattered along a narrow lane bordered by a drystone wall. Many of these buildings date back to the 17th Century with features such as mullioned windows and heavy cylindrical chimneys and the northern end boasts its own 17th century inn. Close by, the bustling towns of Windermere and Ambleside are popular with visitors, providing a range of amenities to suit all tastes. Lake Windermere offers boat trips, including the lakeside ferry to the Lakeside Aquarium and Grizedale Forest Park. The ‘Windermere Steamboat Museum’ displays a fascinating collection of boats whilst children will enjoy the ‘World of Beatrix Potter’ in Bowness, where technology brings her characters to life. Within easy reach of destinations such as Coniston Water, Kendal, Keswick and the Lakeland Mountains, Troutbeck is ideally situated for exploring all that the region has to offer.
