“Beautiful welcoming cottage in a very, peaceful village, we had a lovely stay.”

Our girls particularly liked the games box (we played Articulate every night!) and they enjoyed the horses. The teles in the rooms were well appreciated, super comfy mattresses. Hot tub was fab, especially after a long walk/hike. Welcome teas, sugar, milk etc also well received ☺️

“Lovely cozy cottage, very quiet so nice and relaxing.”

The cottage is well equipped, comfortable beds, beautiful secure garden which our dogs loved and the hot tub is great. We had lovely days out exploring, going for walks, pub lunches, then spent our evenings in the hot tub and playing games which were provided, lots of fun. Treats were provided for the dogs which was so nice and kind. Tea, coffee and milk were also provided so we could have a drink on arrival which was nice. We had an Asda food delivery arranged for when we arrived, no issues at all. I had messaged the owner a couple of times, just with questions, communication was great. I would highly recommend this cottage for a relaxing break away.

“Our family of 6, along with our dog Bronte, had a wonderful stay at Rock Cottage.”

We had family visiting from Canada and Australia, so it was the perfect opportunity to all spend some quality time together. The cottage was exactly as described, and we were especially impressed by the size of the bedrooms, which were spacious and comfortable for everyone. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would highly recommend Rock Cottage for a relaxing family getaway.

“Fantastic stay.”

It would be great if you gave details of local walks and the exact location of the nearest shop and pub

- David, August 2024

We're glad you had a fantastic stay. The location of the nearest supermarket is provided in the guest information folder that is left on the coffee table. There are books and leaflets on the bookshelf that include local walks, shops and pubs/restaurants. We also leave our lovely guestbook in the living room where guests are encouraged to leave comments about what they enjoyed doing when they stayed with us. This is intended to give future guests ideas of where to go and what to do to get the most out of their stay. Property Owner

“Lovely cottage, location was gorgeous really quiet and peaceful.”

It was a bit out of the way but only 20mins for Penrith which has shops etc. It was such a lovely weekend and I highly recommend Rose cottage. Added bonus was the lovely addition to the bottom of the garden…….Jeff & Lonestar

- Emma, August 2024

Thank you so much for your great feedback. We agree that the horses visiting the bottom of the garden is a lovely addition. Hope to welcome you back soon Property Owner

“Lovely spacious cottage with beautiful secure garden for the dogs.”

Plenty of parking space, easily accommodated our 3 cars. The cottage was very clean and comfortable. We would definitely recommend a stay at Rock cottage.

- Carlole, May 2024

“We had a lovely stay at Rock cottage.”

Shame about the weather but it didn't stop us having the best time. It had everything you needed for a stress free stay with the added bonus of the hot tub. It was so nice to let our dogs roam free in the garden. Jeff (the horse) would often pop over for a visit, which was lovely. We would definitely stay again and I will be recommending this cottage to my friends.

- Rachel, May 2024

We’re glad you had a stress free stay and got to know Jeff, he’s a great neighbour. We’ll happily welcome you back, hopefully when the sun is shining Property Owner

Kristy April 2024

“We had a wonderful stay at Rock Cottage, great location and lots to visit nearby.”

The cottage was clean and tidy and had everything we needed. The hosts were there if needed via the phone (which we did due to a local power cut) and we’re really helpful. They were even kind enough to post us an item we left at the cottage. We would highly recommend people visit. (We were two families of four with children aged 3-8)

- Kristy, April 2024

Thank you for staying with us and for leaving us such nice feedback. We hope to welcome you back soon. Property Owner
Rachel February 2024

“Lovely cosy cottage, had all the facilities needed for a comfortable stay.”

Really enjoyed our evenings by the fire after exploring surrounding areas. Also, this is the best cottage I have visited in terms of welcoming dogs. Towels, bowls, treats, bed, no restrictions other than to keep shedding under control by cleaning. Will recommend to all my friends and family looking for dog friendly holidays.

- Rachel, February 2024

Thank you for your wonderful feedback. It sounds like you had a great time and made the most of your visit. We hope to welcome you (and of course your dogs) back soon. Property Owner
Lisa January 2024

“We had a fabulous time at Rock Cottage celebrating my husband’s 60th birthday during our stay!”

The idyllic cottage is in a lovely quiet village and is very private. The owners were very helpful and quick to reply to any queries we had. The kitchen is well equipped providing all the cooking utensils we required during our stay. We ate at a local pub the Cross Keys twice which I would thoroughly recommend. The drive to Ullswater, Derwent Water and Bowness on Windermere was beautiful even if a bit icy! The hot tub was amazing even though it was -7 degrees! As a family ranging in age from 1 to 60 we had great fun and I would thoroughly recommend a stay at Rock Cottage

- Lisa, January 2024

Thank you for your lovely comments, it sounds like you had a wonderful celebration. We do hope you’ll come and stay again. Happy 60th to your husband Property Owner
Daniel January 2024

“Enjoyed everything about the cottage, a real cosy place.”

A couple of things could do with a small upgrade but that’s to be expected in an old cottage and adds to the character. Owners very helpful for any needs that we had.

- Daniel, January 2024

Thank you for your feedback. We are always looking at any improvements we can make and were happy to help. We also love the cosy character and are glad you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner
Eunice Vimbayi December 2023

“Loved the cottage, It was everything we wanted.”

In the dark it was a bit hard to find as the front of the house is away from the road so might be handy to add to the directions. The owners were great and responded quickly when we made any contact. Overall would visit again

- Eunice Vimbayi, December 2023

Thank you. We’re glad you enjoyed your stay with us and note your comments about finding the cottage in the dark. We’ve asked Sykes to include the what three words location in their arrival email to help guests narrow down the location. Property Owner
Elayne October 2023

“A beautifully furnished, cosy cottage property.”

The cottage kitchen was well equipped with everything our group needed for a self-catering mini-break. The property is centrally heated throughout. As ours was an autumnal visit it was great to be able to light a log fire in the evening to add to the overall ambience! Great location, with easy access to, amongst other places, Penrith, Lowther Castle and The Lake District by car. Highly recommend.

- Elayne, October 2023

Thank you for your comments, it sounds like you enjoyed the cottage and the local area. We hope to welcome you back soon. Property Owner
Michael July 2023

“Lovely period property with a rustic feel.”

Travelled with 3 little ones under 3 and 2 German Shepherds but still had plenty of space. Garden was perfect for the dogs and the horses in the field at the end made the toddlers stay. The hot tub was a welcome addition to relax at the end of a tiring day. Would love to return hopefully with some better weather

- Michael, July 2023

Thank you for staying with us and for your kind comments. Our own German Shepherd also loves the big garden and her horse friends! Fingers crossed that you’ll be back when the sun is shining. Property Owner
Charlotte July 2023

“Lovely Cottage, thank you for everything we had a wonderful time and would def recommend!”

The only thing I would mention for slight improvement was that could have left more toiletries i.e toilet roll in relation to number of guests staying as we were max capacity guests and we ran out just before we left but other than that all was great & would come again, thank you :)

- Charlotte, July 2023

Thank you for your feedback, we’re glad you enjoyed your stay. Rock Cottage is a self catering cottage and provides some complimentary toiletries for guests. We look forward to welcoming you again. Property Owner
Rachel June 2023

“Rock Cottage was spotlessly clean, everything was fresh and pristine.”

We were a group of 4 adults and 4 children. It was perfect for our needs. Nice big living room and plenty of space outside. High chair, stair gate and cot were all ready set up for us on arrival. Would definitely stay again.

- Rachel, June 2023

Thank you for your comments. We are very proud of our cottage and glad it was perfect for you. Hope to welcome you back soon. Property Owner
Carla June 2023

“Loved the house, garden, tub.”

Felt very relaxed. Exceptionally maintained. Only slightly frustrated all cutlery and crockery not located in kitchen. Many thanks. Will certainly return and recommend.

- Carla, June 2023

Thank you for your comments. We decided to store the cutlery and crockery in the dining area ready for setting the table but understand that the kitchen is equally suitable. We’re glad you had a relaxing stay and hope to welcome you back soon. Property Owner
Satpal May 2023

“It was a great family stay and very comfortable.”

20-30 mins to Keswick which was close enough to travel and it’s just off the M6.

- Satpal, May 2023

Thank you for your comments and for being our first guest! We’re glad you enjoyed your stay and hope you choose Rock Cottage again. Property Owner

About the location

PENRITH

Keswick 17 miles; Carlisle 20 miles.

The bustling market town of Penrith, once the capital of Cumbria, enjoys a central position between the Lake District, the Westmoorland Dales and North Pennines and is ideally placed for taking in all that the region has to offer. Renowned for its wealth of specialist shops, the sandstone buildings of Penrith hide intriguing yards, lanes and alleyways, with a myriad of attractive cottages, gardens and little shops. With a wide choice of excellent pubs, hotels, restaurants and entertainment, Penrith also offers a museum, and Millennium Trails round the historic city streets. Within easy reach of the town is Rheged – an innovative visitor centre with shops, restaurants, exhibitions and a giant cinema screen showing educational and informative films. Brougham Castle, Brougham Hall (The Windsor of the North), Lowther Castle and Gardens, Long Meg and her daughters (the 3rd largest stone circle in England) and the historic city of Carlisle are all a short drive away, as is the stunning scenery of both the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales.
