“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!!!

Thank you for your lovely review we really appreciate your wonderful feedback. You’re absolutely right, it was crazily busy all of this Easter with the problems on the M6, resulting in heavy traffic everywhere, we’re pleased it didn’t inconvenience you too much. We look forward to welcoming you back to Rose Cottage very soon. Warmest regards, Richard & Saskia. Property Owner

“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.

“Beautiful cottage - everything we needed was there.”

We loved the long sofa for cinema evenings. We cooked at the cottage as the kitchen was well equipped and also had take sways from Ambleside.

“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!

- Michelle, December 2023

Hi, thank you for your lovely review. We’re so glad you had a wonderful stay at Rose Cottage. The heavy snow weather was a challenge, but made the area even more beautiful. We look forward to welcoming you back, warmest regards. Property Owner
Alexandra November 2023

“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

- Alexandra, November 2023

Dear Alexandra, thank you so much for your lovely review of Rose Cottage. We are so pleased that you had a wonderful holiday. We have put an enormous amount of thought and work into making the house a luxurious and comfortable destination for a visit to beautiful, bustling Ambleside, so we are over the moon to hear that your stay was so pleasurable. We so look forward to welcoming you back! Warmest regards, Richard & Saskia. Property Owner

“Really lovely place in the centre of Ambleside.”

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

- Mark, November 2023

“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.

Michael August 2023

“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.

- Michael, August 2023

Dear Michael, thank you so much for your lovely review and kind words. We can’t wait to welcome you back to Rose Cottage and are so happy that you had a wonderful stay. Warmest regards. Property Owner

The property

Rose Cottage is a stone-built, double fronted house sitting in the heart of Ambleside, Lake District. Subject of the world-famous painting 'The Old Mill' by JMW Turner, 1798, the property is tucked away next to a river and offers a great location near plenty of pubs, shops, bakeries, cafés and restaurants. Rose Cottage has everything for a wonderful holiday with family and friends; start your stay in the contemporary kitchen/diner, where you can cook up a storm on the induction hob with underfloor heating beneath your feet for added comfort. From here, move into the sitting room, where you can sit back and relax in front of the woodburning stove, perfect for cosy nights in. For additional entertainment, why not head to the snug, where you can sprawl out on the large sofa and watch a movie on the 65-inch ultra–HD Smart TV? As your day draws to a close, prepare for a restful night's sleep in one of the four bedrooms. Choose from a king-size with an en-suite bathroom, two king-size bedrooms with en-suite shower rooms, and a twin, all tastefully-decorated and fitted with fresh linen. A further mid-landing shower room completes the property. There is a private alleyway at the rear of the house where you can store bicycles (at your discretion and risk) as well as a lockable boot room, for walking attire. Head out the back door to access the enclosed gravelled patio, featuring a furniture set, from which you can enjoy breakfast whilst watching the village pass by. Just opposite is an excellent bakery, perfect for picking up fresh pastries each morning, while a little further along is a convenience store where you can gather the essentials. As the sun begins to set, head out to the secluded, front gravelled garden, perhaps with a bottle of wine, where you can marvel at views of the picturesque Stock Ghyll and its water wheel. Explore the vibrant streets of the town, visit the Armitt Museum and Library, take a trip to the picturesque Bridge House, or browse the shops and enjoy a meal at one of the many cafes, pubs, or restaurants. Head to the shore of Lake Windermere and embark on a boat trip, using the ferry service to explore the lake, or experience the great outdoors with a walk or cycle ride along the lake shore. Delve into the past, with visits to the many historic castles, abbeys and churches, for a unique insight into the history of the area, or take a drive to the Ullswater Valley and explore the stunning scenery. With so much to see and do, you will never want your stay at Rose Cottage to end.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £300.

About the location

AMBLESIDE

Grasmere 4.4 miles; Windermere 4.7 miles; Keswick 16.7 miles.

Lying at the northern tip of Lake Windermere, England’s largest lake, Ambleside makes a superb base for touring the central Lakes, with Grasmere and the Langdale Valley just a short drive away. There is plenty to do here - cruises, boat trips and watersports on Lake Windermere itself and numerous shops, restaurants and pubs in the village to suit all tastes. On the lakeside at Waterhead, the parkland offers lovely views down the lake and a short stretch of beach, whilst a walk in the other direction, following Stock Ghyll through woodland, will bring you to the entrancing waterfall of Stock Ghyll Force. Along with the Lake and the great walking on offer, Ambleside is also famous for its annual rushbearing ceremony and the diminutive 17th century “Bridge House” - one of the most photographed buildings in the Lake District and now the National Trust Information Centre.
