Rose Cottage

Lovely cottage Well equipped High quality beds.

Lovely bedding and luxurious bathroom Will stay again

The cottage was easy to find.

We had two cars but only the Galaxy fit into the parking space, second smaller car easily parked on the roadside so not a problem. Fully equipped for many guests, very comfy beds and excellent showers. Station about a 5 min walk down the hill. Local COOP by station. Fish & chip van every Thursday, varied menu and very tasty. Nearest lake is Ullswater with lovey around the lake boats. In summer the open-air swimming pool is accessible most afternoons. All locals we met were very friendly & welcoming.

A delightful cottage, although didn’t realise that there is no back garden or space, a neighbouring property has what looks like a seed nursery or plant bedding thing going on , lot of wooden frames lined up etc but said hello to the owner who seems fine .

No noise or disturbances during this visit One thing I noticed was the amount of traffic on the one and only road up and down..Artics included. Mainly I would question why Everyone is hitting 30-40 mph on a narrow residential old road ? Found it disconcerting with my 5 month while walking up and down extremely close in places to potentially dangerous traffic That said the views are to die for at the top of the hill towards the Pennines and only 3 miles from A6 and little more to M6 perfect

Absolutely stunning cottage, renovated to a very high standard by the owners, Judith & Zeke, they've thought of everything their guests could possibly need.

We had a lovely peaceful and fairly relaxing week and the weather was generally kind to top it off. Thanks for a lovely stay, we'll definitely be back!

A beautiful holiday home perfectly located for local walks and exploring further afield - Edinburgh, Carlisle and Settle all doable.

Quality finishs and products made for a lovely environment to recharge after excursions.

Well equipped and clean cottage in Lazonby, perfectly situated to visit North Lakes, Eden Valley and North Pennines.

Good pub in nearby village (local pub was a bit noisy for us). Front garden is lovely but not sufficiently enclosed to allow a dog out there unsupervised. Fish and chip van visits the village on a Thursday and is highly recommended. We were worried about the smell from the oil fired boiler and have informed the owner about that.

An excellent property and lots to do and see in the area.

The cottage is beautiful and had most of what we needed.

Frying pans need replacing as they are burned or stick. Village is nice. Neighbours friends blocked the drive so we couldn’t park one night. Good location to travel to other places. Some nice walks from the village. Lovely log burner which kept us lovely and cosy.

The house was beautiful , perfectly located and really well furnished we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

The villagers were so friendly and it was a great base for our exploring and dog walks. Only losing one point on comfort because the heating didnt seem to work upstairs at any time despite adjusting the radiators and thermostats (3). We like cold bedrooms so didnt ruin our stay but february was v cold so not suitable for all

Joanne and Kath the handover ladies, are a real treasure and do such an excellent job.

They are so conscientious and do such a thorough clean. Very friendly and helpful too

Lovely cottage, everything you could need was provided, we would recommend and would stay again!

In a nice quiet area too with walks from your doorstep

There could be some clear and simple instruction for the how to use the cooker and hob, as well the microwave.

The password for the WIFI code could be left in clear view. Easy to understand instructions for the heating and underfloor heating could be left out. This would make things more enjoyable when you first arrive as your first night is spent on trying to working all this out.

Our third visit to Rose Cottage, it never fails to impress.

Fantastically clean and comfortable. We will be back!

Enjoyed our stay would recomend it to others, we had 1 concern regarding the boiler giving off strong smell, not sure if it needs looking at, we kept the door closed and the windows locked open so did'nt bother us much.

Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Absolutely loved this wee cottage.

Clean, comfortable, well equipped and placed in an area that allowed us to access both the lakes and Northern Pennines. Judith left information re local eateries and that was so useful. The local pub was friendly and welcoming. It was also handy having a co-op down the street. We had a little issue with front door look but not enough to put us off! Beautiful wee home from home.

This is a nice, newly renovated cottage in the Village of Lazonby.

Being so near the Railway Station means that you can leave the car at home and travel to Carlisle or Skipton (Leeds if you prefer) directly. It is also near Penrith and not that far to Keswick. There is an excellent Co-Op in the Village with helpful and friendly staff. The Midland Hotel has now reopened. Rose Cottage has many high spec features, it's a lovely cottage, so that I have only minor criticisms. The freezer needs to be accommodated into the Kitchen, going out to the garage is a real pain. The Village has many lorries going through it, some on their way to Bell's Bakery at the station, so the road can be quite noisy and busy. Yapping dogs and people talking loudly are sometimes minor irritations. On the whole great, and luckily no dog smells in the house. Not being a dog owner, you are spared the boring stories of how Fido loved to romp around the pretty garden etc etc.

We enjoyed a lovely week at this very comfortable, well presented property.

It was very clean and well maintained, even the window cleaner came while we were there and the lawn was mowed too. There was plenty of hot water and although we only used the on-suite shower (there was only the two of us) it was very powerful. The cottage is well placed for exploring the local area and we used the train from Lazonby into Carlisle which was very good (ages since I've been on a train, very exciting!!). We would certainly recommend Rose Cottage and would award it 10 out of 10!

This was a comfortable, well equipped cottage with a lovely garden.

Lazonby has excellent facilities for a small village and is well placed for exploring the Eden Valley and border region. I would not recommend the cottage for young children or boisterous pets as though advertised as an enclosed garden due to the layout the front wall is very low from the garden side with a high drop to the pavement.

Excellent as usual.

Very clean and comfortable.

On arrival I did struggle to find the cottage as we arrived in the dark but luckily some friendly locals helped.

It did say space for 2 cars but not sure where you would have parked the other car but they have a small driveway for one car which was great. The front garden is big and enclosed for any dogs to roam. The cottage is lovely, it was immaculately clean and refurbished to a high standard throughout. The living room/ dining room is average size but very nice with a log burner, underfloor heating and a smart tv. The Wifi was excellent which was useful as I had poor mobile signal. The Kitchen was average size with high end appliances except for the kettle which probably needs replacing. They left a bottle of wine for our arrival which was a kind gesture so thank you. However no essentials like milk, tea or coffee etc so make sure to take your own. The downstairs bathroom was handy with a shower and toilet. The main upstairs bedroom had an ensuite bathroom with a hot and powerful shower and a TV also which was great. All the bedrooms were a decent size and really nicely decorated. Especially the kids bedroom which has been very thoughtfully decorated with bunk beds and lovely decor. We had a really lovely stay here. There is a co op a short walk from the cottage, a local pub and a railway station but thats about it however it is a lovely village with walks nearby. We drove out to many lovely places. I really would recommend this cottage. It was lovely and quiet as its link detached so no noise from neighbours. It is on a road but it's not very busy and I hardly noticed any road noise. Thank you so much to Judith and Zeke for a lovely stay. Me, my mum and the dog had a great time. And thank you to the cleaners for ensuring it was very clean throughout the whole property. This a lovely place to stay for a holiday in the Lakes and would definitely recommend to anybody looking for a relaxing break.

A lovely place to stay, cosy and warm and loved having the photo book to look at which showed the development of the cottage.

The village was lovely - had a pub, and well stocked coop and we also got on the train which was a nice day out! We’ve already booked to go back!

Very comfortable stay Excellent location for our needs

I think that people should be informed that both pubs in village are now closed, There is no place to eat in village the nearest hotel/pub is 1,4miles away in Kirkoswold,

A wonderful holiday home Rose cottage is delightful, with everything needed for a relaxing and comfortable stay.

We had a lovely time relaxing in the garden and exploring the area - Lazonby is delightful and we used it as a base to explore the Eden Valley ( very quiet and pretty) as well as being handy for the Northern Lakes. We would thoroughly recommend Rose cottage and look forward to coming back one day . Richard, Helen and Norman the dog

We had a lovely time at Rose cottage, very comfortable and homely, beds were so good we all slept like logs.

Kitchen appliances were amazing, great garden for the dog, will definitely recommend to friends and family, and would book again if staying in the area. Very friendly village.

A beautiful cottage with everything a family needed.

Downstairs toilet, washing machine, lovely under floor heating, enough USB sockets for chargers. A space to be gorgeous a week. It even had egg cups. Everything had been thought of.

We had another very enjoyable stay at Rose Cottage, our second time here.

As the seasons were changing, we were particularly grateful this time for the underfloor heating! We have always found this one of the best-equipped cottages where we stay, and another big plus is the village's well-stocked Co-op store. Very comfortable and convenient for exploring lots of places in the Lake District, we nevertheless fell foul of there being no train services from the nearby Settle and Carlisle railway station throughout our visit - due to circumstances totally beyond anyone's control! All being well, we will certainly be back at Rose Cottage before too long. As far as the railway is concerned, we have unfinished business

This is a lovely cottage for a break, would definitely recommend a stay.

Beds are very comfortable and has all facilities that are required for a great stay. Cottage is situated in a small quiet village but Lake District and many walks within a short distance. Has the benefit of a small co-op store in the village for essentials and a cup of coffee.

A mirror would be useful where you are able to do hair/make up easier!

:) Other than that, great stay and lovely cottage!

This was our third stay at Rose Cottage and the high standard has remained the same each time.

One addition for us was the new gate to the side of the property ensuring our two dogs could be let outside in safety.

We had a wonderful week at the cottage.

It was clean and extremely comfortable. I would highly recommend it to everyone.

This cottage was just perfect.

The kitchen was so well equipped, the shower was powerful and loads of hot water. The double bed was super comfortable. The cottage was lovely and clean and so warm and cozy. And the bottle of wine left for us was a lovely surprise. A great location for walking Blencathra and easy to get to Siddaw. All in all we had a great time and would love to come back another time.

Lovely, cosy cottage and very warm.

Comfortable beds too. Great location to explore the surrounding area. Only a tiny negative in that the front garden isn't really enclosed so couldn't let our dog out without a lead, especially as the road can get quite busy.

Great stay in a beautiful part of the country.

Lots of nice walks and places to see. Lovely pubs in the neighbouring villages. We had a wonderful holiday.

The cottage was far beyond our expectations, spotlessly clean, well furnished and renovated to an exacting standard, the house was warm and inviting, with underfloor heating to the ground floor.

Plenty of information provided about the area with recommendations for places to eat locally and further afield. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Rose Cottage, happy to return home to in the evening after long days out, especially with some of the seasonal weather we endured. This is a house I would be proud to call my own.

Lovely cottage in a quiet village.

Convenient having a Co-op down the road. neighbouring village of Kirkoswald had two nice pubs. The food at the Fetherston-Arms was very good.

Had an excellent week at Rose Cottage, the property had been renovated and equipped to high standard and provided an excellent location to explore the surrounding area, would happily recommend.

We were purposely looking for somewhere just outside the Lake District National Park as we know that offers far better value, is less congested, and yet is just as beautiful, and within easy reach of the parts of the park we wanted to visit.

Rose Cottage fitted the bill perfectly, and we somehow knew that once we established that the owner runs her own B&B business elsewhere in the Lakes, every detail would be taken care of by someone whose own livelihood revolves around welcoming visitors. Lazonby itself and the surrounding villages are lovely and mostly peaceful, yet the road access to most busier parts of the Lake District is excellent. While the cottage is less than 10 minutes' walk from the railway station, lying on the famous Settle & Carlisle railway line, you do really need a car to make the most of your stay. We arrived as two family groups, and were able to park both our vehicles reasonably easily. We had an eventful time getting to grips with the cottage's hob and oven, but overall all of the appliances are excellent - probably more than most people will need on holiday. Another good touch was the plentiful supply of crockery and cutlery, as we find many holiday cottage owners only leave a bare minimum. The village's Co-op store is large and generally well-stocked, but you're only 20 minutes' drive from the town of Penrith where there are two large supermarkets, so keeping supplied isn't a problem. One minor quibble would be about the bedding supplied - this was probably fine for visitors at cooler times of the year, but in the main bedroom at least, is somewhat over-generous for the summer, and we were rather warm on most nights. A lighter-weight duvet as an alternative to the one supplied would be just the job!

The train station in the village allowed us to take trips to other parts of Cumbria and the Yorkshire Dales without having to take a car.

Most important was the large convenience store / PO in the village. All within walking distance of Rose Cottage.

A really excellent cottage everything was to a very high standard.

Extremely clean - many thanks to Kath. Nothing was too much trouble. All the information from Judith was clear and accurate. Lazonby is a very pleasant village and the local Co-Op is well stocked. The location allows easy access to the Lake District, Yorkshire Dales and Teesdale. All in all a very pleasant place to stay.

the cottage is of extremely good quality.

all furniture very comfortable and kitchen equipment brilliant. Added bonus was the lovely weather

The cottage has been renovated to a very high standard and had everything we needed for an enjoyable holiday.

The position is handy to travel to all the lakes and the next village has two pubs which did super food, we can't wait to return.

Lovely comfortable cottage in an excellent location.

The Eden valley is a real gem.

Rose Cottage is absolutely gorgeous.

It had everything we needed and more. The beds were so comfortable and the heating, including under floor, was sufficient that we did not need to use the log burner. There is a lovely garden with patio furniture that you can enjoy in good weather. There are games and dvd's provided which is a good thing as, Lazonby is an ideal location to reach the lake district, Carlisle, Penrith etc, but it does not have a lot of amenities. There is an excellent supermarket but unfortunately the pub was only open 3 nights and only did meals on 2 of those. Although there are excellent pub/restaurants within a short driving distance. I would definitely recommend this cottage

Rose Cottage in Lazonby was precisely what I needed for short stay to go fishing with my son.

Conveniently situated for grocery shopping and easy to find following clear and explicit directions. Penrith is only a short drive away to find any luxuries that cannot be obtained at the Coop in Lazonby and there are a number of very good F&B establishments close by serving good wholesome food. Not forgetting a fish and chip van that visits once a week. Very clean and comfortable.

Cottage was lovely very warm and cozy.

With log burning stove that was great one we got the knack of lighting it. Very comfortable with excellent facilities. Situated in a small village, but with good size Co-op to buy messages. Also has a train station that can be used to for days out if no one wants to drive. Has nice garden with table and chairs that can be used in the good weather. If taking a pet don’t let it out in garden to run around alone as they can escape through small gap in fence at the side of garden and down the stairs (this was the only negative thing about the whole cottage) Would recommend staying there as we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

The cottage was fantastic.

The décor was excellent, it was extremely comfortable and the log burner was fantastic. The cottage was clean, tidy, well located and had lots of useful amenities. The only issue we had was around heating and hot water, as there was no heating on arrival other than the log burner. This was "fixed" on the Monday, but broke again on the Tuesday, after which we had no heating or hot water. This was a real shame as the cottage was excellent!! Fortunately the wood burner kept us warm, and the lack of hot water was more of an issue than the lack of heating. I would highly recommend this cottage when the boiler is fixed!!

fabulous gem of a cottage we had a great time time here its an ideal base for exploring, the cottage was so cozy and welcoming - by far one of the best we have ever stayed in.

excellent cottage.

we had a week of rainy days which resulted in us spending more time than expected in the cottage. it wasnt hard as the cottage was so nice. underfloor heating downstairs made cold feet out of soaking shoes quite a pleasure. the cottage has everything you could want or need. simply excellent.

We were very happy with Rose Cottage.

It was a lovely cosy and very well appointed cottage. The typical cottage garden was very pretty and added to the charm of the place. Would certainly book again.

Superb cottage in immaculate condition.

I have already recommended your cottage to a friend.

We all had a lovely relaxing time. Good place to stay,near to Penrith.

We enjoyed 3 days at Rose Cottage and wish it could have been longer, Lazonby is a very attractive Village and we found getting around the area very easy, the Cottage is a real credit to the owners who have created a very homely feeling.

Just two ideas for the owners going forward a small freezer would be helpful especially during the coming summer months and a mirror in the bedrooms these are just minor things as overall Rose Cottage is a real gem. Lastly to the owners the wine was a very nice touch.

Lovely cottage, close to local amenities.

Lovely cottage - very clean and well decorated.

Great area for exploring beautiful countryside. Absolutely no hesitation in recommending this cottage.

So clean beautiful cottage lovely decor

Spotlessly clean & exceptionally well equipped.

We really enjoyed our week at Rose Cottage & would certainly recommend to others. Extremely cosy & comfortable in every way. Very handy village shop & several pubs serving good food in nearby villages, but none in village itself. A lovely quiet part of Cumbria to enjoy the scenery & wildlife.

A fantastic wee cottage in a lovely location.

Everything is provided in Sykes cottages & Rose Cottage was a marvellous stay; very private, with all necessities within the cottage.

Perfect for a getaway from urban life, and hassle free; no reception, or operators, just get on with your holiday. Definitely choose Sykes again. Perfect.

Lazonby is a great place to explore the lakes either driving or on the Settle Carlisle railway.

We had a great time

The cottage was very luxurious and in a perfect position for what we wanted to do.

We were very surprised at how comfortable and nicely decorated the cottage was and would recommend Rose cottage to other people.

A beautiful and very comfortable cottage with all mod cons to help us enjoy a lovely holiday.

The village of Lazenby was lovely with lots of amenities including a lovely little outside swimming pool/lido which we used as the weather was amazing.Beautiful scenery and a great spot from which to explore the stunning countryside and villages etc and enjoy lots of walks.

We were delighted and impressed by the whole process and the cottage.

Everything we needed was there and great quality. Congratulations to all involved.

The booking experience was excellent and the cottage itself perfect for a week's getaway.

Not only a really lovely cottage in a cosy village, but the owners were very friendly and approachable and really helpful. Judith especially wanted to know if we had had a good time and I had no hesitation in saying yes, yes, yes! Also, the pub in the next village of Kirkoswald, the Fetherstone Arms was excellent with attentive service, friendly staff and outstanding food. This break had it all, and in a wonderful rural location. We will definitely be re-booking the same place very soon! Thank you again.

Lovely, comfortable cottage in a great Location close to the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District.

Lots to do in the area. I recommend a trip on the Settle - Carlisle Railway,supermak Station is a short walk from the cottage. Good little supermarket in Lazonby. Best pubs in Kirkoswald approx. 2miles.

Beautiful cottage but location wasn't as good as we had hoped for.

Would recommend to others but unlikely to rebook as we like to try new locations.

Great cottage

The cottage was fantastically decorated and had a very warm and comforting pleasant feeling to it.

The condition of the cottage made the entire experience for us. Would recommend this cottage to all my friends and family.

Cottage is modern and comfortable and good communication with Owner.

She may need to ensure her cleaner is doing as requested as we were unable to find the travel cot on our arrival and it was not located til 7.30pm and in addition to this dog hairs were found in the master bedroom - presumably from prior occupant. This did not affect the overall enjoyment of the stay, and the cottage was otherwise perfect for us and we would hope to return.
