The location of the cottage is superb. Sadly, the cleanliness was disappointing however this did not spoil our holiday. The living room is the best area in the cottage, very spacious with amazing views. We would stay again providing it was given some TLC!

Please accept my apologies but both myself and my adult son, both felt that the photographs of the cottage were taken to over emphasize the size of the property. Although the lounge area was very spacious, the remainder of the property was dark, and the rooms were not as large as that which appeared in the photographs.

The location is superb, although the area was very busy during school holidays Cleanliness was poor throughout, although the bedding smelt fresh Almost every door was sticking and needed excess force to open/close The kitchen took me back to my student days where we had to scrub pans/utensils before use The cottage appears to have been refurbished Read moreonce and had no maintenance/renewal since The unsealed adjoining door allowed the neighbour's foul language to permeate through to ours We left early Hide

Fantastic stay in this very spacious cottage. Super comfortable bed and quality linen, light and airy living room with beautiful leather recliner settee and chair - perfect for truly putting your feet up after a long day on the fells. Able to make the most of the spacious garden during an amazing week of sunshine.

Beautiful cottage in a beautiful location. Very spacious inside however remains cosy. Very well equipped throughout and has the lovely touch of a small selection of games which our 3 yr old loved. Nice enclosed garden shared with the other cottages looking onto the beautiful surroundings. Would highly recommend.

Brilliant modern cottage, with a secure garden for dogs or small children. Excellent view of Skiddaw from the cottage and we usually had our breakfast using the wide windowsill as our table. Conveniently located just outside Keswick beside Bassenthwaite Lake Rowan Cottage is a short trip to Winlatter Forestry England - a must visit.
