“Excellent cottage in a lovely location.”

Very well equipped and comfortable. One small point. Parking is restricted and would be helped with some slabs to stop you stepping into mud.

- James, April 2024

Thank you so much for your feedback and glad the cottage met your needs - it was a shame you had such a wet week- we do put stones down where the car is parked to help when muddy but as it is not actually our land we are restricted in what we can do. Property Owner

“We have stayed in this property previously and again did not disappoint, the cottage was warm and cosy on arrival, really clean and it is well equipped, idea base with lots of lovely walks on the doorstep, close to Penrith.”

We would truly recommend this cottage for a relaxing and quiet holiday. We will be back again soon, thank you

- Mary Ann, January 2024

Hello again ! Lovely that you have come back to Rose Cottage and that it met your needs - we do have lovely walks nearby and being so close to ullswater and the lakes opens up other areas to explore - be delighted to welcome you back Property Owner

“This is a fantastic little cottage in a lovely village with sheep in the field opposite which I loved.”

Parking it on the road but it’s not busy so always a parking space outside the cottage. The front garden is secure for dogs we took our cockapoo Riley he loved it. The only negative if you call it that was the back garden has a thoroughfare through it but honestly it didn’t bother us at all. We was there 3 nights & only saw the lady coming to feed & collect the eggs from the hens that live there 2. Don’t let this put you off !!!! The cottage was one of the cleanest I’ve ever stayed in and had all the extra facilities to have a very pleasant stay. Hot water was plentiful. The furnishings were lovely especially the bedroom so cosy. The cottage was very warm alongside lighting the log burner on a night time which was so welcoming after a long walk with the dog. There is a lovely pub in the village that does lovely food but unfortunately it was closed the 3 nights we were there but good reviews in book. Thanks again for a lovely stay. The only thing I would say is take some bird seed there are so many different varieties of birds & if you’re like me love watching them there aren’t any feeders to enjoy watching them on. But that’s just me !!!

- Cassandra, November 2023

Thank you for your feedback we do appreciate this -our dog (also a cockapoo) loves being in the garden and especially the walk down to the river ! The village pub is a great place to go to and such a shame your visit coincided with their nights off as they serve amazing food and local beers- our neighbours do walk through the back garden to feed their hens but that is part of the quirky nature of our cottage - we don’t have bird feeders for no other reason than we are not here every week to be able to restock them - but lots of lovely local wildlife around Property Owner

“Rose Cottage is a beautiful place well situated in the village.”

Ideal base for a stay, the cottage was clean and comfy. The kitchen is well equipped, spacious. It had everything you could need, the rear yard was perfect for dinning outside and is perfect for a dog. It felt like home from home, Parking outside the cottage is great with further parking if needed just a little further into the village. Everyone was so friendly in the village, we will be returning. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

- Mary Ann, September 2023

Really pleased you had a good stay in our cottage - your feedback is important to ensure we keep Rose cottage to a high standard and it would be so nice to welcome you back / again thank you Property Owner
Jane June 2023

“A perfect cottage, our second visit there and won't be our last.”

only minor point is the lack of a washing machine, however there is a laundrette in Appleby. the cottage is in such a beautiful area with stunning scenery and walks from the doorstep. all good.

- Jane, June 2023

Hello and yes we would really like to welcome you back again - you have obviously found some of our favourite walks ! We had to make the decision between washer and dish washer and dishwasher won! But take on board your comments Property Owner

Jude May 2023

“The cottage was immaculately clean, comfortable and really well presented.”

Everything we needed for our stay was provided, and it felt really luxurious and a real treat to stay. Really dog friendly with a blanket and bowls - our dog felt very welcome too! Kings Meaburn is a gorgeous village with some lovely walks straight from the front door. Parking was fine with one space right at the door and friendly neighbours guided us as to where best to leave the second car of our party. We’re already planning to return next year! Loved it!

- Jude, May 2023

Hello thank you so much for such lovely words following your stay at our cottage -we want the cottage to be warm and welcoming and so pleased that this was what you experienced -I agree about the dog walks and the whole area is just delightful for our four legged friends -we would love to welcome you back and again thank you Property Owner
James February 2023

“Hi, Excellent facilities and really enjoyed the stay.”

Thought and care have gone in to every room. My only comment would be that parking in front of cottage is difficult and risky, some form of parking bay , Ideally tarmac & marked to alleviate this risk would really help! Kind regards, Jim

- James, February 2023

Hi thank you for your feedback we always value our guests comments - we are unable to tarmac the area you mentioned as this not part of our property however we have tried to improve this whilst balancing that Kings Meaburn is a small village and the country feel is important to this. So pleased you enjoyed your stay though and thank you again Property Owner
Abbey December 2022

“We had a great time, it was perfect for what we needed and had everything we needed.”

We would of loved it to have a washing machine (just because of how long we were there for, dog towels needed washing as it was very muddy weather) but understand the dishwasher won. I would 100% recommend this property to other people and hopefully we can return one day!

- Abbey, December 2022

Hi thank you for your feedback and so pleased you enjoyed your stay and yes we would love to welcome you back Property Owner
Sherron October 2022

“Really lovely cottage, well equipped,very welcoming and homely.”

The bed was very comfy and loved the softness of the towels. Neighbour was very friendly and offered suggestions on days out, we went on the train to Settle after talking to them and had a lovely day. We were very pleased we were able to book an extra night as we felt so at home we didn't want to leave. The Dogs loved lying in front of the fire after a busy day. We are definitely hoping to return again. The pub that is in the listings was closed unfortunately but that can't be helped. Could you let the owners know the toilet seems to be on constantly running through and the radiator in the living room didn't work, wasn't a problem for us but thought they would like to know. Thank you for such a lovely place to stay.

- Sherron, October 2022

Thank you so much for your review and we were glad to be able to accommodate an extension to your holiday and would love to welcome you back . Everyone is hoping the village pub will open soon , although there are some other really delightful local pubs. We are instigating the toilet and radiator to be looked at this week so thank you for letting us know Property Owner
Jane September 2022

“A great holiday cottage in a beautiful area with friendly neighbours.”

thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would love to come back again. Only suggestion is to have a fold up airer to dry wet coats etc, we got soaked on the last day and realised there wasn't anything to hang them on. There is no washing machine (it isn't in the description) but maybe a small conservatory at the back of the house to have one and also an airer/clothes line? but anyway, a beautiful cottage to be in!

- Jane, September 2022

Thank you for your feedback and good point about a fold up airer for wet clothes. We had to make a decision between a dish washer and washing machine and the dishwasher won! At this time a conservatory is not feasible but take onboard your comments Property Owner
Roger August 2022

“The mews was like a home from home, clean and well presented property.”

Lovely bolt hole in a quiet and peaceful location but with easy access to all road links. Charmaine and Andy very approachable and friendly host available if needed but not intrusive. The cream tea and free range eggs were a lovely touch, will definitely book again.

- Roger, August 2022
Gemma July 2022

“We are so grateful for our stay at Rose Cottage.”

The booking was super last minute (same day) as we needed to relocate from another ‘cottage’ we had booked to stay in. This cottage was wonderful and the facilities were everything we needed. Our dogs loved watching the chickens in the back garden! Great base for many adventures. Thank you!

- Gemma, July 2022

Hi so pleased we could rescue your weekend and that you enjoyed your time in the cottage - I agree our dog loves the back garden as well Property Owner
Nicola July 2022

“We had a fabulous stay in this charming and comfortable cottage.”

The dogs loved it too! So close to the Lakes and the Dales and all our drives were beautiful to wherever we decided to go. The pub in the village is closed but we had some lovely meals out at other local pubs. The best were at the Butchers arms in Crosby followed by the tufton arms in Appleby. The stag at Dufton was also good with stunning views. All catered for the dogs and gluten free! We will be back - thank you

- Nicola, July 2022

Hello thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback and really pleased you enjoyed your holiday - the Eden Valley is a delightful part of the country with so many places nearby which are well worth a visit- agree with your choice of places to eat always worth a visit ! Property Owner
Christine July 2022

“Lovely cottage.”

So comfortable. Renters always rate bed and shower. Bed was perfect. Shower good. Very clean cottage and well equipped. Go prepared because no shop until Appleby (co op). Pub close to property is being renovated and looks like it could be closed for some time. Highly recommend this cottage. We didn't leave review in guest book, had to leave quickly due to family emergency.

- Christine, July 2022
Davina June 2022

“Beautiful cottage that gives you a ‘hug’ as soon as you walk in.”

It was spotless and had all the equipment needed. In fact for the first time ever on holiday I cooked some meals as I felt so at home there. The pub which is about 100 yards away is being refurbished but we found the New Crown Inn about 5 miles away was very friendly and the food was good. Would definitely recommend.

- Davina, June 2022

Hello thank you for your feedback and the positive comments about the cottage - your review did make me smile and we would love to welcome you back Property Owner
Stephanie June 2022

“Absolutely loved the cottage.”

Great peaceful location. Fab walks and would definitely recommend. Will be booking to visit again. Thanks so much

- Stephanie, June 2022

It’s so lovely getting these positive comments as we do try to achieve a standard that we would expect and as you noted the area and walks are delightful- we would hope to be able to welcome you on a return visit Property Owner
Michel June 2022

“Rose Cottage is fabulous,very well maintained.”

Spotless when we arrived,instant hot water. However,it was quite remote,The White Horse pub was closed for renovation,it was a pity as we were hoping to have meals there in the evenings.

- Michel, June 2022

Hello we are pleased you like the cottage and yes it is a shame the pub was closed when you stayed but the benefits will be seen once it reopens Property Owner
Donna June 2022

“We had a fantastic 3 night stay at Rose Cottage.”

Whilst it is remote it is only about 20 mins by car to Appleby which we found had everything there that we needed, such as a co-op and Spar, pubs, cafes and some little independent shops. We found the remoteness of the cottage to be a bonus. So quiet, the only sounds were the birds, the lambs and the occasional tractor passing by. The cottage was spotless with a lovely blend of modern and traditional. There is a beautiful walk along the river just a few meters down the road. Owners happily accommodated our last minute request for an extra day and Sykes were fantastic in sorting this out for us. The drive to the cottage from the motorway gave us our first glimpse of this areas breathtaking views. The Eden Valley really is spectacular. We can't wait to go back!

- Donna, June 2022

Hello can I thank you for such lovely comments we do appreciate these - we would love to welcome you back when you can hopefully discover more delightful walks Property Owner
Angala May 2022

“Cottage was in an idyllic spot if you like walking or just want some peace and quiet.”

It was Spotlessly clean and lacked for nothing, unless you count lack of a recycling box. Back garden was very dog friendly and even my little escape artist couldn’t find a way out. The only downside for us was the weather which no one can control. Will definitely consider returning at some point.

- Angala, May 2022

Hello so pleased to get your feedback and your lovely comments so thank you. I agree with your comments about the recycling but unfortunately our waste collection company do not accommodate a recycling box. I agree our dog cannot get out the back garden either ! And it is a lovely sun trap when the weather is kind. Property Owner
Paul April 2022

“Lovely cottage.”

A tad remote and with facilities for only 3 it is a little limiting. Great weekend paddleboarding!

- Paul, April 2022

Hi so pleased you enjoyed your paddle boarding. Our cottage does only accommodate 3 people and yes we are a little remote but kings Meaburn is a delightful village with other larger villages close by. Property Owner
Paul April 2022

“The property was very nice however there were some issues.”

The kitchen floor had lifted near the back door coursing a trip hazard, And there were items of clothing left in the bedroom draws from a previous guest.

- Paul, April 2022

Hello thank you for your feedback I am sorry some clothes had Ben left I have highlighted this to our cleaning company . As to the kitchen floor this whole floor has now been replaced . Thank you Property Owner

“What an amazing place absolutely loved our stay at this gorgeous holiday home.”

It was our 1st anniversary so we thought we’d enjoy a little break away and we weren’t disappointed. Absolutely loved sitting in front of the log burner during the evenings and spending some quality time together. Thank you for a great stay

The property

Appleby-in-Westmorland 5.2 miles. Nestled in the quiet little village of King's Meaburn near Appleby-in-Westmorland, Cumbria is this quaint terraced cottage, Rose Cottage. With the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty to the east and the Lake District to the west, this is a perfect, rural location for a family or group of three to explore England's finest countryside. A few stone steps lead you to the enclosed front garden where the cottage sits picture-perfect at the end of the path. Be welcomed by a lovely kitchen/diner with hard wooden floors, pretty tiling and a classic Belfast sink; set the dining table and cook up a storm in the kitchen area, complete with an electric oven and hob, and a dishwasher for a fuss-free tidy up. Head to the snug sitting room with a sumptuous sofa to sink into after a long day's hike and catch up on your favourite TV shows, whilst the woodburning stove gently warms the room. As your eyes grow heavy, two stunning bedrooms await in Rose Cottage with wooden beams, ample storage space and quaint cottage décor; rest your head in the king-size bedroom for two, whilst the third guest gets a charming room all to themselves. Explore your local surroundings in the peaceful village of King's Meaburn, surrounded by countryside. In the nearby villages Bolton and Morland there are village pubs (restaurants) where you can take a break from cooking. Appleby-in-Westmorland is just a short journey away, a larger market town resting in the picturesque Eden Valley, with plenty of supermarkets to stock up the cupboards and eateries to fuel your day. Spend a day in Penrith exploring the incredible ruins of the 14th-century Penrith Castle, with wonderful grounds perfect for picnics, whilst the town centre offers local history in Penrith and Eden Museum and plenty of independent shops to pick up the perfect souvenir. On your way into the Lake District, be sure to stop off at Lowther Castle & Gardens, one of the many gems waiting to be discovered in this spectacular National Park, surrounded by acres of woodland and ancient parklands. Next stop is Pooley Bridge for a variety of traditional inns and tempting tearooms; take a tranquil cruise down Lake Ullswater to the villages of Glenridding and Howtown, or lace up your hiking boots for plenty of paths leading you to breath-taking views. Along Ullswater, find nature trails guiding guests to the renowned Aira Force Waterfall, or climb Heughscar Hill for perfect vistas right across the lake. Heading south east from Rose Cottage brings you to Kirkby Stephen, a historic market town and the perfect spot to stop for lunch before venturing into the glorious countryside; discover Smardale Gill Nature Reserve, rolling hills and castle ruins in the Yorkshire Dales, whilst peace and quiet awaits in the North Pennines with striking landscapes and vibrant villages scattered throughout.

About the location

APPLEBY-IN-WESTMORLAND

Penrith 14 miles.

The historic town of Appleby-in-Westmorland lies in a loop of the River Eden and is overlooked by the North Pennines, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with the Lake District Fells showing on the western horizon. Set at the heart of the lush Eden Valley and steeped in history, this is one of the loveliest towns in the north of England and was originally the county town of Westmorland. Appleby is nestled between the Lakes and Yorkshire Dales, so guests can enjoy the contrasting scenery of these two National Parks, plus numerous walking and cycling opportunities as well as the fantastic leisure centre in the town. Appleby has a wonderful selection of quality independent shops, cafes and delicatessens selling locally produced food and crafts. The picturesque street of Boroughgate, with some interesting old buildings, is at the heart of the town and links the well-preserved Norman Castle with the fine medieval Church of St. Lawrence. Appleby is a major stop on the Settle-Carlisle Railway, which is one of the most beautiful railway journeys in Britain, and still today many of the old steam trains wend their way along this line and over the historic and awe-inspiring Ribblehead viaduct. With the delightful Ullswater and the magnificent Lake District within easy reach, this is an ideal holiday location.
