“One of the most comfortable, pleasant houses we have stayed at in the area.”
Spacious yet warm with a lovely calming atmosphere and many personal touches which made it all the more interesting in comparison to many otherwise bland holiday cottages. Feels very much like an existing family home. Views from upstairs are lovely.
I came here to rest and write, but those seeking easy access to transport and local shops (not to mention being just around the corner from the lake, will love it as a base. Being slightly set back from the road with trees and only private parking ...

I came here to rest and write, but those seeking easy access to transport and local shops (not to mention being just around the corner from the lake, will love it as a base. Being slightly set back from the road with trees and only private parking to the rear lends this property a quieter feel compared to many others in the area. The interior is much nicer than the online photos' with good wifi, a cozy fire and smart tv.
Only issue I would mention is that the freezer is in the cellar, which might not be a great idea for those wishing to nip down for ice cubes whilst drinking alcohol. The stone steps are steep! The downstairs fridge could do with an ice compartment for this reason. Washing machine, cooker etc all excellent.
The property has it's own dedicated parking space at the rear, which is easy to locate as the door number is painted on it clearly.
We were very sad to say goodbye!
What a wonderful review, thank you so much! I am thrilled that you absolutely ‘got’ how special the Roses is, described it so well and how it is better than its photos. I hope it helped to support your writing. I am concerned however by the cleanliness rating as it is professionally cleaned. Please do let me know how it was lacking? Was this included because of the trip to the cellar for ice? There is a hand rail and for info a handful of ice grabbed on the first visit will keep quite some time in a bowl in the dining room fridge for ease of access. Hoping this might encourage a return visit when the roses are in bloom.
PS Thank you for clarifying that you had no issues with the cleaning and saying that The Roses is the best cottage you’ve stayed at!
