We stayed at Rose Cottage for two nights in May 2013, as we were attending a wedding down the road. There was my partner, myself and my 9 month old daughter. Also my partners mum and dad stayed in the room next door. On arrival our hostess Kitti was very welcoming and helped bring our bags inside. We were given... More

I booked Rose Cottage in Jan 2013 for our holiday in March 2013. It was the best value on booking website. For the same price we got an en-suite rather than just a room comparing to other B&Bs. We stayed for one night. It snowed and snowed but it was warm in our room. Our own bathroom was clean and... More

The cooked Full English breakfast was sumptuos! We stayed in Room no 5 on the first floor which is... More

I spent a night with two friends, and we fell in love with this place. The breakfast is amazing, and Kitti (the owner) is really nice and helpful. Besides, it's located next to the lake and in the heart of Bowness-on-Windermere. I recommend it for couple visitors, or family.

What a perfect place to stay! Right in the centre of Bowness with free parking available on the pay and display car park around the corner. A 2 minute walk takes you to Lake Windermere where you can catch cruise boats to Ambleside or Lakeside or just cruise around the centre of the lake (which we did, a definite must!)... More
