Unfortunately what at first appeared to be a fairly nice cottage, turned out to be run down, extremely damp and quite dirty. I thought we could cope but as the week went on my asthma became really bad and after moving furniture when leaving we discovered a severe damp problem in both bedrooms with black mould on the walls. This must have been knownRead more about and to be honest, discovering this issue made me really angry at how much money we had spent and how ill I had become as a result. Hide

Thoroughly recommend Rowan cottage. It is in a beautiful, quiet setting with tremendous views across the valley. It is comfortably appointed, clean and has all the necessities there. The owners are close by and very helpful. We would definitely stay there again.

The cottage was fabulous. Very comfortable and there was a lovely view from the lounge window. Really nice to come back to after a day out. The location was quiet too, but only a few minutes drive from Keswick. There was also the adjoining cafe that offered a much needed cup of tea and cake to the rear of the property, which was also a gallery withRead more some very nice craft items and pictures for sale. Would highly recommend a stay there. Hide

Rowan cottage is ideal for people with dogs. A gated garden and lovely walks from the property which was great. Also the situation was good for getting to Keswick for shopping and to Cockermouth.

Great location for many walks from the door, comfortable cottage for four and a dog. The Lake district is really not the place for an Electric car as there are only four working chargers in the area of any use with large queues waiting to charge. We also have found this in most places now but will now look to find cottages with charging capability Read morein the future Hide

Location was great, with many walks available in the local area along with routes to get to the visitor centre and take the trail routes. The visitor centre offers bike hire and has what looks like nice routes for bikers. We booked again for next year and may try out the bike routes next year as this year was all about the walks and views.

We have stayed at this holiday cottage numerous times and keep coming back. The lounge/dinning 20ft x20ft room is excellent. New owners are friendly, nothing is too much trouble, and being on site is very handy. Booked already for this September.

We had a really lovely stay, I missed the information about the garden been shared so I was really glad that we were the only ones staying there as the weather was beautiful we sat out and there is only 1 table/4 chairs. The gallery had an event on our first night and the noise was horrific, wish we would have been informed of this before our stay.Read more The cottage is well equipped, shower is not powerful at all.
