    “Thankyou for letting us stay in your beautiful cottage.”

    It was perfect for our needs. The grandparents had downstairs with their own bedroom, bathroom and sitting room and my husband and I and our adult children had the upstairs bedrooms. The main lounge and kitchen diner were perfect for all of us. There was plenty of kitchen equipment and it was fantastic to have three bathrooms. The garden is lovely but unfortunately the weather was very wet for us so we didn’t get to enjoy the lovely outdoor seating and bbq. The Aga top made cooking for 6 ...

    It was perfect for our needs. The grandparents had downstairs with their own bedroom, bathroom and sitting room and my husband and I and our adult children had the upstairs bedrooms. The main lounge and kitchen diner were perfect for all of us. There was plenty of kitchen equipment and it was fantastic to have three bathrooms. The garden is lovely but unfortunately the weather was very wet for us so we didn’t get to enjoy the lovely outdoor seating and bbq. The Aga top made cooking for 6 difficult at times because you could only use two pans at a time and with my daughter being vegetarian and the rest of us eating meat meant cooking dinner took some planning, However the Aga itself was easy to use and having the electric oven/grill and microwave as well gave options. There was a strong smell of oil in the cupboard to the left of the Aga and if the kitchen door was closed overnight there was a strong smell in the kitchen in the morning. The position and views of the cottage are amazing and if we can, we would love to return to explore the area more. Your neighbour was friendly but she has her own strong opinions as to the parking and these differ from your instructions. Our cars seemed safe and we had no complaints from the farmer or other road users. We visited your parish church- Jesus Church on Sunday and everyone was very friendly and welcoming.

    Thank you for the lovely feedback and so happy that it suited the needs of your family. Hopefully next time you come to Troutbeck the sun will be shining and you can enjoy the many walks from the door! Property Owner

The property

Set in the beautiful Troutbeck valley, Cumbria, lies this excellent holiday home, Rose Cottage At Troutbeck. This lovely stone-clad cottage, built in 1732, is a great option for families or groups of friends looking for a quiet, self-catered stay in the heart of the Lake District National Park, boasting character, original features, breath-taking views of the surrounding countryside, and a wealth of tastefully-presented living areas. Make yourself at home in your new dwelling by using the lovely kitchen, which includes an AGA cooker, to conjure up tasty, home-cooked feasts for the entire group. Enjoy your meals at the dining table before escaping to the living area to watch a film on the sleek, Smart TV whilst keeping warm and toasty by the flickering flames of a stylish woodburning stove. Enjoy a long, hot bath as day turns to night before retiring to one of the three plush bedrooms, each of which is an exquisite haven ready to carry you into a peaceful night of tranquil bliss. In the morning, savour a cup of coffee in the garden before discovering everything your local area has to offer. Go for a stroll to the nearby Townend National Trust site or take a hike along the Wansfell Pike trail, which can take you all the way to Ambleside. Or why not bring your bikes for the trails and iconic roads from the door, with secure storage in the outside stone shed. Once you've worked up an appetite, head to the traditional Mortal Man Hotel or the Queen's Head, both of which are a stone’s throw away from your cottage, for some classic pub grub and take in the views from the beer gardens. Visit the tranquil Stagshaw Gardens, the storied Ambleside Roman Fort, and the breathtaking Stock Ghyll Force waterfall while you're in Ambleside. Whatever you choose to do, make Rose Cottage at Troutbeck your next base when you visit the Lake District.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.

About the location

TROUTBECK

Windermere 3 miles; Ambleside 4 miles.

The small Lakeland village of Troutbeck can be found between its more famous neighbours Windermere and Ambleside, close by the Kirkstone Pass. A mixture of houses, cottages and farms, the village is scattered along a narrow lane bordered by a drystone wall. Many of these buildings date back to the 17th Century with features such as mullioned windows and heavy cylindrical chimneys and the northern end boasts its own 17th century inn. Close by, the bustling towns of Windermere and Ambleside are popular with visitors, providing a range of amenities to suit all tastes. Lake Windermere offers boat trips, including the lakeside ferry to the Lakeside Aquarium and Grizedale Forest Park. The ‘Windermere Steamboat Museum’ displays a fascinating collection of boats whilst children will enjoy the ‘World of Beatrix Potter’ in Bowness, where technology brings her characters to life. Within easy reach of destinations such as Coniston Water, Kendal, Keswick and the Lakeland Mountains, Troutbeck is ideally situated for exploring all that the region has to offer.
