Overview
Property code: OC-GL004

Pull on your walking boots, pack a picnic and head off in any direction on fabulous Lakeland walks from this cottage in the village of Elterwater. Sleeping four guests, and also welcoming canine companions, the two-bedroom abode is in a superb setting for exploring the picturesque lakes of Elter Water, Loughrigg Tarn and Windermere. It is also just 4 miles from vibrant Ambleside and 8.5 miles from the village of Grasmere, where English poet William Wordsworth lived.

Let yourselves into this inviting retreat via the front door and porch and find yourselves in a homely lounge, which still reveals some of its old timbers. Light the open fire on chilly days and toast in its warming glow as you chat about the day’s adventures. Find a film for everyone to enjoy on the TV or play your favourite tunes through the mini music system before deciding whose turn it is to whip up the next delicious meal. Make your way through to the kitchen/diner, which has a beamed ceiling and flagstone floor, to prepare your feast then gather around the table in here to enjoy it. At the end of each superb day away, climb the stairs up to the two bedrooms. These include a king-size with an en-suite shower room, and a twin. A family bathroom and a handy drying cupboard are also up here. Carry your morning coffee out to the patio in front of the cottage on fine days. Open a bottle of wine in the garden to the rear of the property on summer evenings.

Spend mornings shopping in charming Ambleside, which has many independent outlets, boutiques and galleries. Take a horse-drawn carriage or walk 1 mile down to Waterhead to hire an electric or rowing boat or to enjoy a relaxing cruise out on Lake Windermere.

Another wonderful week spent at Rose Cottage; the perfect 'walkers' retreat, warm and cosy with the best log fire. The cottage is superbly equipped, especially the kitchen. The location could not be better, you could spend a week walking each day from the cottage and not have to drive anywhere. The parking space suits small cars, but with National Read moreTrust membership you can park free of charge at the car park opposite, so parking has never been an issue for us. With the Britannia Inn only 40 meters away you never need to worry about a good meal at the end of the day. The cottage is very dog friendly with very well thought out colour schemes so that you don't need to worry about leaving any marks on the floor if it is damp out side. Highly recommended if you are a walker with a dog. Hide

Good base for walking holiday. This cottage is in central location with good size kitchen diner and comfortable beds. Decor and furnishings are tired and dated . For all practical purposes parking space is unusable on a regular basis.

The cottage is in a very good location, it is a reasonable size for 4 people and whilst the bathrooms are modern, the rest of the cottage felt a little tired. The parking spot is rather difficult to negotiate and not really suitable for larger cars.

We have emailed a letter to Customer Services expressing our dissatisfaction with the property - especially the 'so-called' car parking space and the non-functioning of certain items in the cottage - we will leave it at that.

Fantastic location but be aware it's hard to find and car park is tiny, bordering on unusable unless you have a tiny car. BYO toilet paper, hand soap and fresh milk. One of the single beds not fit for sleeping on.

Rose cottage is a really comfy and beautiful typical cottage. Its very well equipped for a lovely home from home holiday. As its a cottage the ceilings are low and the windows are small. Elterwater is a great location as its easy to reach other places easily & there is also a good bus service. Please note: the parking space isnt easy & is tight. Read more Hide

The living room was very dark, the dark furnishings and dark carpet did not help and the sofas/ chairs were not comfortable. The picture on the website very misleading. The bathrooms were excellent and a lot of equipment in the kitchen which was great.

Lovely property with tons of character. One if the single beds was on a bit of a slant causing the occupant to slide slightly throughout the night. But apart from that we loved it.

We had a great holiday. The cottage was very comfortable and well equipped. The only thing I would point out is that the allocated parking space was too difficult of access and very tight to get to with a very narrow passage between buildings and as a result we didnt use it. We had to find an alternative space which isnt easy in Elterwater.

Rose cottage, although only 3 stars turned out to be extremely cosy and comfortable, much better than we expected as we were late booking our stay and not much choice left. Except for a few squeaky doors which we fixed. Its in a great position walks from the door and pub. Excellent food at the Eltermere inn and Stove restaurant. We will return.

The location of the cottage in the centre of Elterwater is fabulous. The cottage was cosy and well equipped. Our only concern was that the designated parking area was extremely difficult to access. With a narrow gateway which needed to be reversed out of with someone guiding. Difficult in a medium sized car or larger.

No complaints regarding the standard of the property. One minor issue with the TV which was dealt with quickly and satisfactorily. Beautiful location.
