Rose Cottage

Visited Rose Cottage as a family and had the most wonderful time.

The cottage was perfect… the location was undoubtedly the best part. Right in central Ambleside within easy reach of everything… shops, cafe’s, restaurants, pubs… it was ideal especially as my father has some mobility issues so was perfect for us. The cottage itself was spotlessly clean. On arrival we were greeted with a lovely welcome hamper which was gratefully received. The cottage was spacious enough for our family of 7 and the whole house was beautifully decorated throughout. The beds were really comfortable, as were the sofas in main living room and snug. The house has a main bathroom and 3 en suites. Lots of lovely touches around the whole property. We were a bit worried about the garden area been so close to the main road but we were able to sit out in both the back and front garden and the location didn’t bother us one bit. The front garden area felt private enough and it was lovely been so close to the water. The parking permits allowed us to park in the car park behind the Flying Fleece, a minutes walk to the house which was really handy. We didn’t use the cars all week. We hopped on the bus which runs every 20 mins or so and the bus stop is a few mins walk from the house. You can get to Grassmere, Windmere, Bowness, Kendal etc so easily. The cottage had absolutely everything we needed. It was so well equipped… the best we’ve had in any property. The area is beautiful and our stay in Rose Cottage was definitely a 10 out of 10. Hoping to return again soon. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

The cottage was perfect for our 7 person family group including a 2 year old and dogs.

There was lots of living space and the 4 bathrooms were appreciated. The cottage is in the centre of Ambleside and very convenient for the shops, places to eat and the park. It is also walking distance to the Windermere Lake ferry service,

Without a doubt , the best place we’ve stayed in the Lakes.

Absolute fantastic cottage with all the character & comfort. Superb interior. Plenty of space. I don’t think the location can be beaten. Everything on your doorstep. We never used our car at all. We gained so much additional time , because we didn’t have to drive and find parking etc. Owners were super helpful & very professional. Sometimes your accommodation on holiday is just where you stay. I felt that Rose Cottage was a huge part of our Lakes experience. Definitely a 10/10 !!!!

Lovely property in Ambleside.

Set on quite a busy road but the property is double glazed and there is a screened garden which is accessed via the front door. The other garden is accessed via the back door. All rooms are well maintained and clean and comfortable. Parking permits were great and although a busy car park we always found a spot. Good access to lots of walks and good variety of local shops and restaurants. It was nice to have the two separate downstairs rooms and the kitchen is large and modern.

Faultless!

We absolutely loved our day at Rose cottage, the location and the property were perfect. The cottage is so well equipped and beautifully decorated.

A beautiful Lakeland home in the heart of bustling Ambleside.

Fantastic location, close to all amenities. Large house with 4 double bedrooms with en suites or a separate shower room. Fabulous kitchen stocked with everything you need. Great TV room with huge TV. Outdoor seating. Parking permits for nearby car park. A high end property which is highly recommended.

Rose Cottage was absolutely perfect for our stay.

The situation of the property right in the centre of Ambleside is ideal. The owners have thought of everything to make the stay enjoyable and comfortable. This is a really lovely property and I would highly recommend it. We will definitely return.

Amazing location in the heart of Ambleside.

Very well stocked with all the supplies and a lovely welcome basket. Our family loved sitting outside watching the world go by over a busy Easter Holidays.

It was an amazing place to stay right in the heart of Ambleside.

This was our first stay at Rose cottage but it won't be our last.

It was beautifully appointed and right in the heart of where we wanted to be. The cottage was spotlessly clean and had everything you could need for a stay in the Lakes. Perfect.

A beautiful cottage in an amazing location we had a fantastic stay!

The rooms are spacious and very clean and beautiful bed linen in all bedrooms The outdoor area is fantastic to sit out and safe for the children to play Amenities and the welcome box is a great touch This is a great place to stay Overall we would thoroughly recommend this property

Loved our time at Rose Cottage - very central for shopping- eating out and setting out on a lovely walk.

The cottage is beautiful and has everything you need and more.

Situated right in the middle of Ambleside, perfect for the many pubs and restaurants.

The kitchen is well equipped and the house had everything we needed. Lovely place to stay.

Just returned home after a fabulous week in Rose Cottage.

The house has such a warm and cosy feel to it. The snug area is fabulous with views over the river, you could sit and watch the water all day. The bedrooms are warm and comfortable with lovely comfortable beds and great on-suits. The location is right in the heart of Ambleside so really easy to pop over to the shops or pubs. Lots of great walks around Ambleside to discover. We will definitely be returning to Rose Cottage in the future

We had a fantastic time staying at the outstandingly lovely Rose Cottage.

Everything was better than given in the details :) The owners have obviously given a lot of thought on how to please their guests, with great success. Maybe better seating around the dining table, but this is not a complaint :) 4 very happy ladies from Norway.

Rose Cottage is the holiday cottage that all holiday cottages should aspire to be!

Perfect location (we didn't use the car all week!) & the most comfortable holiday home we've ever been to (we've been to quite a lot!). This was our third stay here, and it won't be the last - nowhere else can come close.

Absolutely superb property nothing more you could ask for.

As for the location ideally situated in the heart of Ambleside . The host went above and beyond to ensure our stay was faultless. Highly recommend.

Wow, what an absolute gem of a cottage!

Modern, spotlessly clean, spacious, well equipped, perfect location, in fact the only thing wrong with Rose Cottage is that we had to leave.

We have been coming to the Lakes for many years and have stayed in many different houses but Rose Cottage was absolutely the best!

Everything was perfect. The house was so clean and well equipped and everything was exactly as the photos. As for the location you just couldn’t ask for more. The parking permits were also most welcome. The hosts were lovely too and checked in on us to make sure everything was ok. Super house for our family of 5 ❤️

We had a fantastic stay, lovely welcome basket was a treat.

Very clear instructions in the manual. Lots of lovely extras. Couldn’t be in a better location. Wish we could give them 10 stars x

The property was wonderful.

It felt cosy, warm, and super clean. Comfy beds, too. We felt right at home as a family. Everything was a moments throw away. There were loads of shops around, plenty of places to eat, and no shortage of drinking venues (from hot to cold!). We loved the ability to just jump in the car and explore the Lake District. We would 100% return.

Rose Cottage was fabulous.

Welcome pack was a lovely touch. The attention to detail was visible throughout the house. Not often you see luxury fluffy towels in a holiday home. Had a need to contact owner who was prompt in providing helpful advice. Really would highly recommend this beautiful home. You won’t be disappointed

We had the best time at Rose Cottage - as a family of mixed ages, the cottage was suitable for everyone including our little puppy.

The owners had thought of everything and the welcome hamper was hugely appreciated. The only thing I would suggest would be another baby gate for the downstairs snug. Rose Cottage is in an amazing location, right in the centre of Ambleside. We all will definitely be returning, we had an amazing and comfortable stay. Thank you!

Rose Cottage is beautiful.

We stayed with family for a birthday celebration and it was perfect. A great big kitchen/dining area. The living room was so cosy and the snug a great place for everyone to chill. The whole house is decorated and furnished to a high standard. It’s in a fantastic location. We were lucky with the weather so got chance to make use to of both garden areas. There was a lovely welcome box with lots of treats. We will definitely be back.

Lovely accommodation in a very convenient location.

Beautiful , spotless and pristine cottage in a great location in central Ambleside.

Welcome pack was delicious too .Highly recommend this cottage .

Beautiful house right in the center of Ambleside.

The house was spotless and equipped to a very high standard. We were very impressed with it all. There are two outside areas which are fully enclosed and safe for your dog. Weather was great so we made full use of these especially as they get the sun all day, two garden umbrellas are a helpful touch. Welcome pack was generous. All in all we would recommend this house and will return. Ambleside is a fun place to stay with plenty of walks and things to do right on your door step.

Rose cottage was amazing and in a perfect location, we will definitely be staying there again.

Cottage was very comfortable - clean and home away from home where little things made a difference eg not pages and pages of house rules!

Boot room was invaluable. A noisy but very convenient location. Enjoyed our stay immensely and parking worked a treat!

This was our second stay at Rose cottage and will not be our last.

Fantastic location and is only bettered by the beautiful house. The cleanliness of the property is second to none. Lovely weekend surrounded by the family and in stunning surroundings what more can one ask.

Lovely cottage in great central location- have stayed before with our family just fabulous - can also recommend the local vet who we sadly had to use they were so sensitive and kind.

Hi there Lovely house and beautifully done Only 2 minor complaints.

The lounge / snug are quite small and it’s hard to fit all 8 guests in the one room which made socialising on an evening a little difficult We also found the house quite cold as we struggled to adjust the heating downstairs Other than that fabulous house, fabulous location. Thank you very much

Really enjoyed the stay at Rose Cottage.

The central location was brilliant; being able to walk to the numerous local bars and restaurants was a huge bonus. The house was great, very comfy and clean and plenty of space for 7 of us. Would definitely recommend.

Richard & saskia, have created a fabulous holiday home, we have stopped in numerous holiday homes over the years, and every year find some better, this one is the best one yet, the location is in a great spot, everything on hand, the holiday home has everything you could ask for, like a home from home, thank you Richard & saskia, we will be booking again next year.

A fabulous property which is extremely well equipped even down to sharp knives & plenty of chopping boards!

Perfect location for those who want to access town or the fells directly from the property. It was lovely to receive the welcome pack on our arrival & have the property exactly as we expected it from the photos. Thank you to Richard & Saskia for sharing their lovely property.

We had a thoroughly enjoyable time in the extremely well furnished and maintained property - cannot recommend it highly enough - location excellent, and facilities outstanding.

Rose Cottage is a really lovely property, so clean and tidy with great facilities.

Our family of 8 with 2 dogs really loved Rose Cottage, the beautiful location with running stream next door,and wonderful local bakery opposite and such a fantastic warm property to return home to. The sunken tv room was great with the separate room to be able to play board games - really worked for our family group! great memories! great holiday! Thank you!

The owners made us feel so welcome made us a lovely welcome hamper.

We spent Christmas time at the cottage and my mum and dad’s 45th wedding anniversary which the owners kindly met us early so I could decorate the house for a surprise for my parents. The cottage was immaculate and had everything you would need 10/10 for us and would definitely book again.

What a fabulous cottage.

The location is Amazing. You don’t need your car. Park up with the free pass provided at car park opposite. From the moment we arrived we knew we were going to have a great time. Large welcoming kitchen, great for large groups. Fabulous welcome hamper. Thoughtfully decorated. Lots of utensils and plates and glasses that all match! . Views out across the river from the snug. Absolutely spotless. I can’t recommend Rose Cottage enough. The communicator owner was brilliant.

Just returned from our second stay at Rose Cottage & I can't say enough good things about it!

It's in the perfect location for all that Ambleside has to offer, with shops, pubs & restaurants a stones throw away. There are lots of walks from the door, meaning that we rarely moved the car from the very convenient car park with a free permit included with the cottage. The cottage is really comfortable, with everything you need for a relaxing stay. Furniture, bed linen & towels, crockery & cutlery are all really nice quality. The view from the snug out to the beautiful beck is so mesmerising you barely need the 50 inch smart tv

The property was perfect for our group - 6 adults, 2 teenagers and a dog.

Location was perfect. Very well equipped with everything we needed. Lovely welcome basket which was well appreciated by all and got our weekend off to a good start. Parking permits worked well. Beds very comfortable and showers were great. All in all a beautiful cottage and would def recommend. Catherine.

We had a wonderful time - our 14th family visit to Ambleside and area and Rose Cottage did not let us down.

It was worth the 8 hour drive for sure! The cottage was beautiful, ideally located for morning dog walks up to the foot of Fairfield and for strolls around beautiful Ambleside. Many thanks to Richard for his communications and to both he and Saskia for creating such a superb home from home.

A lovely cottage in a superb location.

We found it very well equipped, comfortable and cleverly laid-out to accommodate the 8 of us. We appreciated the extra communication from Richard making sure that everything was in order and providing us with useful additional information. We had a great stay and, circumstances permitting, wouldn't hesitate to book Rose Cottage again .

Beautiful property, great location for local amenities and for exploring the Lakes .

House was immaculately clean and fantastic for 3 couples.

Great cottage.

Great location, so easy to pop out for meals and shopping. Very comfortable and cosy for a family of 8, beds very comfy and each couple had their own bathroom, all spotlessly clean.

The cottage was spotless, comfortable and spacious.

The pictures on the website were exact. Location was excellent. All in all a very enjoyable and relaxing stay.

Had a wonderful relaxing stay at Rose Cottage, the place was spotless and beds so comfortable.

Hosts have gone to great lengths to ensure you have everything you might need . All information was clear from parking, heating and appliances so from arrival to departure it was seamless. For those that don't know Ambleside convenience stores, restaurants and lovely walks are all easily accessible .

A great place in an ideal location.

x6 Adults and x1 toddler had plenty of space to interact and eat but also were not tripping over each other. Great location right in the center of Ambleside close to restaurants and bus stops. Great communication with the owners. Fabulous! Would highly recommend!

We recently had the pleasure of staying at Rose Cottage in Ambleside, and it was an experience to remember.

From the moment we stepped through the door, we were struck by the immaculate condition of the property. It genuinely felt as though we were the very first guests to have the privilege of staying there. The attention to detail in every aspect of the cottage made it feel like a true home away from home. The location of Rose Cottage is absolutely perfect. Nestled in the heart of Ambleside, it provided easy access to the stunning Lake Windermere, picturesque walks, and all the charming local amenities. We couldn’t have asked for a better base to explore the Lake District. Being dog-friendly was a massive bonus for us, and our dog felt right at home. The cottage was equipped with everything we could possibly need, and it was clear that a lot of thought had gone into making it comfortable for both humans and pets alike. The owner was a delight to deal with—warm, welcoming, and incredibly thoughtful. Upon our arrival, we were greeted with a delightful goody box containing chocolates, wine, and even treats for our dog. It was a lovely touch that made our stay even more special. As for the views, they were nothing short of spectacular. Waking up to the sight of the surrounding hills and enjoying a morning coffee while soaking in the beauty of the area was one of the highlights of our stay. The tranquillity and natural beauty of the location provided the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. In conclusion, Rose Cottage exceeded our expectations in every way. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay, and we would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful, comfortable, and welcoming retreat in Ambleside. We can’t wait to return!

Cottage location was great, so central.

Beautiful cottage with everything you could ask for, and lovely outdoor areas. Lovely welcome goodies for guests and dogs. Parking permits ideal for using car park opposite. Everything about the cottage exceeded expectations. Would definitely recommend to others.

We loved the house, it was beautiful inside and out, and perfect for our group of friends and children.

It was clean and the welcome basket was very much appreciated, includimg the dog treats

Absolute superb cottage!

The best location close to everything and the host was super helpful too! Would love to stay again!

Beautiful accommodation in a perfect location.

Everything within the house was of a very high standard and beautifully designed, everything had been thought of by hosts. Highly recommended this property, we were not disappointed at all! Will certainly return. Thank you for allowing us to spend time in this wonderful property.

We loved everything about Rose Cottage.

The location right in the center of the village was perfect. The amenities in the cottage were wonderful and we very much appreciated the small fans in each bedroom which is not always provided. We would definitely stay in this wonderful cottage again.

We had a wonderful weekend bread at Rose Cottage, the house is beautiful with high quality fixtures and fittings and everything is well thought out for guests.

Communication with the Richard was brilliant, he met us at the cottage, provided our car park passes and helped carry our luggage. I would highly recommend this beautiful cottage. Helen

Rose Cottage is a fantastic house!

The design and quality of the fixtures and furnishings is superb. We stay in Ambleside every year, it's our favourite place for a relaxing family holiday. Rose Cottage is definitely one of the best cottages we have stayed in. It's centrally located so you can walk to restaurants, shops, pubs etc very easily. Although being opposite The Apple Pie Shop was a huge temptation (my sister is obsessed with their Bath Buns)! The owners were very helpful and friendly, and all the information needed for the stay was easy to find. Fantastic cottage, fantastic location, fantastic hosts!

Fabulous cottage right in the heart of Ambleside.

Very well presented, great facilities and really homely. Would definitely book again

A beautiful property in a great spot.

Everything was to a high standard. Spacious dining kitchen, 2 lovely lounges and allbedrooms and bathrooms were lovely. 2 outdoor seating areas one of which overlooked the river. The owners have put alot of thought into everything. Also a very nice welcome basket on arrival

Great accommodation very clean and well equipped, location superb, right in the heart of Ambleside.

Good communication from the owner's. Parking just across the road in a large car park with free permits supplied by the owner's. A good bus and ferry service. Excellent week would certainly go again.

Excellent house - location, cleanliness, area just everything.

The only only thing I would say (and would still give 10/10 with this) was the noise from the sinks/toilet - very noisy from 4 bathrooms in the middle of the night

Fantastic!

All the amenities are with walking distance and a great base for exploring what the Lakes has to offer. Everything we needed for a great weekend. Would definitely recommend this beautiful cottage. Thank you x

What a stunning cottage.

Fabulous central location. Outstanding facilities. Plenty of space for a large family. Yes it’s close to the road and unloading and loading the car wasn’t possible on the roadside but we just carried our things from the car park. The M6 was closed on Friday so the traffic was extremely busy through Ambleside but that didn’t spoil our stay. We will return!!!

We had a lovely stay and the property has been done really nicely - very homely, warm and enjoyable.

We loved it and would definitely stay again. A very comfortable bed, lovely warm house after very wet walks, a really thoughtful welcome package (even had bow ties for the dogs), a great location. Thank you.

An absolutely lovely cottage - thought of everything- stayed with son and daughter and their partners- all had our own facilities and plenty of shared space to eat and also space to be apart read or watch a movie - great central location lots of walks from the cottage as well as a short drive away - can’t wait to visit again

This is a little gem of a place to stay.

Our first time staying here and it won't be our last. Great location right in the centre of Ambleside. Lovely and clean. Loved the welcome basket and our dog, loved his treats and bow tie present! Thank you for a great stay. We'll be back.

What a superb and exceptionally well kept cottage.

Everything was immaculately clean, the beds were extremely comfortable and the furnishings were contemporary. The owner has catered for all their guests needs and included a lovely basket of goodies on arrival which also had little treats for the dogs. Rose Cottage is a very special place to stay and in an extremely special location. We had a fabulous break and would definitely recommend Rose Cottage to anyone and everyone. Thank you!

We had a lovely stay at Rose Cottage this weekend.

It is a beautiful cosy cottage and very clean and well presented. We were provided with everything we needed for our break- the fabulous welcome hamper was greatly received and even included goodies for the dogs. We had a maintenance issue with one of the showers unexpectedly leaking, however we were very impressed that despite the heavy downfall of snow this was rapidly fixed as soon as reported and all done whilst we were out on a nice walk. Could not fault the service and quick responses. Look forward to returning again in the future! Thankyou Richard and Saskia for allowing us to stay in your wonderful cottage!

Hands down the best holiday cottage we've stayed in.

Perfect location for all of Amblesides pubs, restaurants & shops plus such a convenient starting point for many lovely walks. Lovely comfortable furnishings & great quality beds & bedding (the only place ever that we shouldn't have bothered bringing our own pillows!) The kitchen was well equipped with everything I needed to cook when we wanted to eat in & enjoy the beautiful accommodation. The snug overlooking the beck is so special, a lovely comfy sofa & super sized telly if you can tear your eyes from the view. There's a brilliant drying room for coats & boots. The parking passes were a real bonus, the car park was just a minutes walk away, but we only used the car once during the week! The welcome pack was much appreciated with lovely coffee & wine - and Heidi loved her milky bones

Really lovely place in the centre of Ambleside.

Comfy beds and all the things you'd need to make a home away from home.

A fantastic property, really has the ‘Wow’ factor.

Beautifully appointed, everything there that we needed. Lots of space for everyone. Great location, shops, restaurants, buses and boats on the doorstep, we didn’t need to drive anywhere. I would definitely recommend this cottage to our friends.

This is the best property we have ever stayed at in the lakes.

Beautifully done out, very comfortable, all facilities and cooking equipment you need, plus a boot room for wet coats and boots, a lake district essential. Also the location is so handy, literally e everything on your doorstep. We will definitely rebook.

We loved this house!

The position of the house is perfect as a central location within Ambleside, but we were most impressed by the beautiful decor and furnishings throughout. Everything was brand new, and had a high quality feel. We loved the snug room, and the view from the large window overlooking the river. We loved the property so much that we all agreed we'd like to live there. We are already planning to book again.

Beautiful cottage.

Great central location. Lovely welcome package waiting for us. Would highly recommend.
