“Could not find anything negative at all.”

House was very tastefully decorated and finished to an exceptional standard. We met our daughter and family from Edinburgh for an autumn break and had a wonderful time. Our thanks to the owners for their wonderful taste which truly made it feel like our home from home. With best wishes from Lesley, Barry, Sue, Steve, Caitlin ,Ellen and Ross.

“Overall very comfortable welcoming stay.”

If you cant get the induction hob started we discovered that at least one of the pans wasnt conduction compatible, so beware. Fabulous rain effect showers, again though beware if you use the bath and its on the shower setting it will run down back of bath to the floor. Blind in the living room right window not fully opening and curtains in here and dining room would add cosiness. Wood burner worked great and starter wood pack and washing pods etc great addition.

“Rose House is an excellent holiday property.”

It is well maintained and beautifully presented both externally and internally. The host has considered just about everything that you might need for a perfect holiday. We had a thoroughly enjoyable time and would like to thank the host for helping to make this possible. Highly recommended.

“Absolutely lovely, thoroughly enjoyed the property.”

Games were loved by the kids and we loved the book exchange! Could do with toilet roll throughout, otherwise very happy guests! Will be staying again

- Vikram, August 2024

Thanks so much for taking the time to write a lovely review for Rose House, we are so pleased to receive a 5 star review from your stay. Each bathroom/ WC should have toilet roll at the beginning of your stay alongside many other welcome complimentary items so we will look into this. We look forward to you visiting again and once again thank you! Warmest regards Nicki (owner) Property Owner
Christine July 2024

“Booked a last-minute 5-night stay, at Rose House and would thoroughly recommend it to anyone looking for a luxurious property within short walking distance of Windermere and Bowness on Windermere.”

The standard of accommodation is exceptional and whilst we were only a party of 3 plus a dog the property is well equipped and would comfortably accommodate 8 guests as advertised. An added bonus for us was private off street parking. Will certainly be recommending Rose House to family and friends and hoping to book again for a return visit. Thank you

- Christine, July 2024

A huge thank you for the taking time to write such a positive review. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay at Rose House. We constantly strive to keep the property at a high standard for our guests to enjoy. Take care and we genuinely hope you come and stay again soon. Warmest regards Nicki (Owner) Property Owner
Janet June 2024

“Took my family away for a weekend as we do every year, all said the same thing (best one yet) Rose House was perfect for us.”

The house its self was amazing everything you could need was provided we would not hesitate to come again.

- Janet, June 2024

Thank you so much for your 5 star review- we appreciate you taking time out to write up on the wonderful stay you had at Rose House. We’re thrilled to hear that you’d love to come back - we look forward to welcoming you and your family again soon. Warmest regards Nicki (owner) Property Owner
Fiona June 2024

“I would have no hesitation in recommending Rose House.”

The location is perfect, a pleasant easy walk between Bowness one way and Windermere the other. The house itself is one of the best laid out and decorated homes I’ve ever stayed in and I have stayed in a few. The owner has thought of everything, I couldn’t even leave a single recommendation for improvement. The pub across the road is friendly and was a nice feature as it gets somewhat busy early evening and in the sun so you hear a nice buzz if sitting out on the garden terrace but is not noisy later on or rowdy and we were there with a Euros England game on - nothing could be heard inside the house. The car charger was an added bonus as there isn’t an abundance of such facilities in this neck of the woods so was better than sitting in the Booths car park to charge (great supermarket by the way). Dog friendly too as is most of Windermere, we had no problems eating out well and going on boat trips with our pooch. We would return in a heartbeat and may even return to Windermere specifically because this house is there.

- Fiona, June 2024

Hi Fiona, A huge thank you for such a glowing review - to take time out of your day to write such a lovely follow up review is hugely appreciated. We are thrilled your stay at Rose House was so positive- we thrive to make every guest leave with the same positive experience and will continue to commit to ensuring this. We look forward to welcoming you back in the near future. Take care Nicki (owner) Property Owner

“Everything was great, we stayed May half term last year and the property has since been renovated, beds were a lot more comfy and the property looked a lot more modern and brighter.”

We only had one issue about the property, we felt that it was not the cleanest. On arrival we had to hoover as there was crumbs all over the kitchen floor as well as dog hair all over down stairs, kitchen/diner room, hallway and living room. Pots also had hair in them so all had to be washed before we could use them. Mugs also had food remnants in them. The oven was not clean either, both inside and out needed wiping and also the oven was asking for a clean cycle which we completed during our stay.

- William, May 2024

Thank - you for taking the time out to review your recent stay at Rose House. As the owners your feedback is really valuable to us so that we can continue to offer the very best stay at Rose House. We appreciate your positive comments regarding the update and enhancements that we have made to the property since taking over ownership - we absolutely love the house and are fully committed to ensuring it stays in immaculate condition. A drop in cleaning standards is never acceptable and we have addressed this with the cleaning company (whom are normally excellent and have received very positive reviews previously.) We are confident going forwards that Rose House will offer the very best standard. Thanks again for taking time to review - we really look forward to welcoming you back. Nicki (owner) Property Owner

“We’ve spent a lovely four nights at Rose Cottage.”

It was in a fantastic location in walking distance into the high street of Windermere . Decorated to a very high standard. The beds were incredibly comfortable . The property was cleaned exceptionally well and we had all the things we needed in the property for preparing our meals, fantastic oven , I need to get one of those for our house !We enjoyed sitting outside the first night in the sunshine on the patio eating our dinner . Wonderful hot showers , washing machine and tumble drier. Very comfortable lounge. The only minor little faults we found, that didn’t effect our holiday in any way, were that the kitchen bin lid was broken so needed to be open by hand and half the toaster didn’t work. There was a coffee pod machine which would have been great to use, so maybe some pods in your lovely complimentary basket in the kitchen ? And we noticed the kitchen window had dropped with a gap which if it was chilly would create a draft . But honestly those negatives are me needing to be really picky ! The entire house was a delight to stay in and I would love to come back again ! Highly recommend for a family .

- Sarina, May 2024

Hi, Thank you for taking time out to write a review of Rose House and the wonderful stay you have had. Fabulous to hear that you managed to enjoy the outside as well as inside the property. Also, thank you for making us aware of the faulty bin and toaster - these have both been replaced and we have had the window looked at so the property is as good as new again! We look forward to welcoming you back to Rose House soon. many thanks Nicki (owner) Property Owner

“We loved Rose House!”

Absolutely beautiful house, perfect location and the play station went down a treat with the kids so thank you! Would definitely recommend this property and the great pub straight facing with a darts board was very convenient too… all round great stay!

“We had a fantastic stay at rose house this weekend.”

The house is brilliantly located in the middle of Windermere and Bowness. It is presented in a very high end manor while still being extremely comfortable and homely. Will defo be returning as we didn’t want to leave. Can recommend highly.

- Ian, March 2024

Thank you for your fantastic review- it is much appreciated! We are really pleased you enjoyed your break and can’t wait to welcome you back. Nicki (Owner) Property Owner
