Rowanberry Cottage

A lovely cottage in a lovely location.

A small note that the catch on the dishwasher where you put the tablet needs looking at. It is difficult to close - it doesn’t stay closed. We would also suggest a sheet under duvet for summer so duvet can be taken off in hot weather. It is such a well insulated cottage it gets very warm at night especially when raining and the windows and velux have to be shut.

Another wonderful stay at Rowanberry Cottage, spotlessly clean, lovely comfy beds, great location handy for shops & walks from the doorstep.

The addition of the beautiful orangery was much appreciated with fantastic views & very cosy. We’ve already booked again.

We visit Rowanberry cottage many times when we can get in.

The addition of the conservatory is great especially for wet days, and it has an attractive and well maintained garden. It is positioned well for many nice walks without having to use a car. It did have a few negatives. The conservatory looked wonderful but the cushions did not have enough support if you wanted to spend time there, they flattened quickly. The wi-fi was of no use. No matter how many times we switched it off and on as per instructions it tried to start then failed , making the smart tv not very smart. The shower in the second bedroom was uncomfortable to use due to the stiffness of the hose. It become difficult to put the shower head where you wanted it.

Simply the best and can't wait until we return in October.

It was nice to meet the owner, Ken, who called round. Long may we able to continue or holidays at Rowanberry Cottage. Richard Jennings

A lovely property and we hope to come back again soon.

Only two little things that would have been helpful were a butter dish and hooks on back of bedroom doors. Otherwise a perfect little house in a stunning location. Thank you

This is our 2nd visit to Rowanberry Cottage & we loved it just as much as the 1st time.

We absolutely love it! Spotlessly clean & cosy with a location second to none. My 88 year old Mum visits the Lakes with us & this is her very favourite place. Will definitely be booking our 3rd visit again soon.

This was our 3rd visit and 2 more are booked for next year.

A perfect place for elderly people. Thank you

Rowanberry cottage is a lovely cosy and comfortable cottage with a beautiful little garden, everything you need to enjoy a peaceful relaxing holiday.

A perfect location overlooking fields and countryside but only a short stroll into the village. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely return, thank you

We loved this cottage.

It was in perfect location close to shops & restaurants, but surrounded by fields, very quiet. It is also central for the Lake District, we managed to visit everywhere, all within a hour and a half drive. The cottage itself is very comfortable, and perfectly clean, with everything you need for entertaining dinner guests. The downstairs toilet is a bonus. Would definitely recommend and we're looking forward to staying again in the future.

Well and generously equipped property with excellent parking and an enchanting garden.

Very conveniently situated within the village but with uninterrupted views of fells and fields. A small food welcome pack would be appreciated (but obviously might not be suited to all.)

A lovely cottage and a lovely location (love the sheep).

This cottage has an amazing location tucked behind Grasmere Main Street but surrounded by fields with views of the fells.

We did many walks from the front door. The coop is two minutes walk as are many other pubs and cafes. It was immaculately clean and presented well. The kitchen was well supplied. The hall was great for drying our wet walking gear. Highly recommended.

Rowanberry Cottage is in a charming location in Grasmere, being in the centre of the village yet secluded.

I cannot rate this cottage highly enough, it is excellent, having been renovated to a very high standard, with all of the facilities you require. This cottage is an ideal base to explore the Lakes.

Beautiful cottage in the perfect location, central to amenities.

Spotless clean & everything well maintained with nice comfy beds. The only very small niggle was the flow from the electric shower was poor, but we had brilliant week, the weather was a bonus & we will definitely be back, thank-you.

Absolutely loved our stay in this beautiful cottage.

Everything was perfect! Very sad to leave but hope to return again soon! Thank you!

We had the most amazing stay and the cottage certainly met our expectations.

We have already booked for next year and will continue to do so. Please find below some minor issues to take into consideration. We ran out of loo rolls and kitchen rolls by day 3 Could have done with some kitchen foil 2cm of hand soap in downstairs toilet Bath towels too small Possibility of an outside light by the side door? Possibility of complimentary toiletries in the bathroom i.e. soap and shampoo? BUT can't wait to go back again - simply the best and thank you

Hi.

I never normally give feedback, but would like to on this occassion, as constructive help for the owners. Of course, this is only my opinion, and that of my son's, as he agreed with my thoughts. It is obvious that the owners have spent a lot of money renovating the property to a high standard. All of the bathrooms (in particular) and kitchen are very nice and of a high quality, as are the beds and the bedding. However, we feel that other aspects of the cottage detract from what would have been an overall 5-star stay, with the quality of the following fittings not matching the quality of the fixtures: The towels. The chests of drawers and bedside cabinets. The microwave. You may feel that we are being picky, but we genuinely are trying to be helpful. We had a fabulous stay and particularly enjoyed sitting in the garden in the mornings and late afternoons/early evenings, following our days in the hills. We were blessed with amazing weather! We would certainly love to return. I don't mind if you publish my feedback or not, but will click yes, as I am happy for you to publish it if you wish.

This is a lovely cottage in the centre of Grasmere, it is quiet and picturesque.

The cottage had everything we needed for our stay. It is warm and well equipped and the garden looks onto neighbouring fells Stone Arthur. Just to note, access to the cottage is via a private track and over a wooden bridge, the drive may not be suitable for vehicles with low ground clearance, e.g. sports cars, coupes etc. However, this is a beautiful spot and we enjoyed our stay. Thank you.

Another lovely week at Rowan Berry cottage.

It was a lovely cottage, comfy bed and lots of kitchen utensils!

I hope we will stay there again.

Staying at Rowanberry Cottage was delightful, the location is second to none, being in the heart of Grasmere but secluded and quiet as well.

With generous parking for two cars and a house that has been extensively renovated with a luxury kitchen and two luxurious en suite bathrooms the accommodation is superb. I cannot rate it highly enough, we have booked again for next year.

A lovely cottage and enjoyed the garden too.

And the sheep in the field next to it!

Rowanberry cottage is a fantastic place to stay.

Situated in the heart of Grasmere, it is a real gem. Giving access to the shops, galleries and pubs of Grasmere within less than 5 minutes, and with the bus service to the rest of the Lakes we found it an excellent place to stay. The house is situated in an oasis of calm; you feel as if you are right in the fells with wonderful views and with many varieties of birds visiting the garden. Car parking is excellent and the house is very comfortable with all mod cons.

This was our second stay in Rowanberry Cottage and once again we had a wonderful holiday.

The cottage is lovely and in a perfect location. I would like to advise future guests of a couple of issues we had. There is a thermostat control for the upstairs heating in one of the bedrooms. This is in addition to the one downstairs. This was not in the information booklet and unfortunately I had to contact the owner as the bedrooms and bathrooms were cold. The owner was very prompt in helping us by sending a plumber and it was him who told us about the 2nd thermostat. Mindful of energy costs we avoided using the dishwasher hoping to save the owner on energy bills. Unfortunately this consideration backfired on me and I accidentally broke 2 dinner plates as they slipped off the draining board. I was hoping the owner may have shown some understanding as accidents do happen, however he asked to be reimbursed. For future guests please be very careful when handling the crockery as it is expensive which we found to our cost. These issues did not prevent us from enjoying our stay in Rowanberry Cottage and hopefully we will return in the future, but maybe I'll bring my own crockery next time!

Although the property was lovely and very comfortable we felt there was room for improvement.

My husband is 86 and unsteady so I Suggest thinking about the access to garden from patio door ,it wasn't easy for him to get in and out it would be better if there had been a wide step , hand rail and maybe a level path to the seating area. Perhaps think about some friendly seating and a parasol for shade! It wasn't obvious where the bin was (we guessed the one by the drive gate) instructions about what the bin men would do on collection day would also have been useful. The notices about the VELUX skylight you spelt VELUX wrong. The cleaning instructions read like we were expected to clean the house, on the hoover it says we are to empty and clean the filler, I'm on holiday I didn't expect to clean the house.... Of course I expect to leave it tidy,. Put bin out and wipe down kitchen and bathroom sinks, sides and table. But there was no cloth or cleaner( I don't normally pack my Cleaning box) Cleaning notice says not to use bleach why is the cleaner in kitchen CIF with bleach? Also it is very bad food hygiene to stick a notice to the cutting board ! I was surprised not to see a guest book or a Welcome to Rowan berry have a lovely stay. We come to Grasmere most years and normally stay at bridge hotel, but this year has my husband's health is not great we decided self catering would be better and quieter. Which it was. Please think about the the things I've mentioned as we would love to stay again.

We are old, literally!

The wife (still young at heart! & myself 83!) feel that this cottage meets our needs with respect to its perfect location of being on the doorstep of all shops etc... but still has the peaceful countryside presence of being in "the middle of nowhere!". Many thanks for the loan of the cottage ... again!. Jan & Ray Ellis. Jan & Ray Ellis.

We had a lovely holiday and Rowanberry Cottage.

The cottage is so well placed in the heart of Grasmere and yet surrounded by countryside and exceptionally quiet. The cottage is well equipped and has a beautiful garden with lovely views across the fells.

The entrance track was very narrow and winding, and some larger cars may have difficulty getting to the cottage.

The Tesco delivery van couldn't get down it, and we had to drive to meet it at the main road.

Just to say a big thank you to the housekeeper, we appreciate all the hard work involved.

Couldn't fault anything. A lovely, private, comfortable house in beautiful surroundings yet minutes from all amenities.

Thank you for another lovely week at Rowanberry Cottage.

It never fails to work magic. We loved the beautiful new bathrooms and everything was looking lovely. The colours in the garden almost changed for autumn in front of us.

What a delightful, well-appointed Cottage.

From the generous porch to the luxurious kitchen-diner and the two en-suite bedrooms, it is a cosy, welcoming delight. Iain
