What our customers say about their holidays
Alison - Verified booking
Seven of us enjoyed a fabulous stay at Rossett Holme over the Christmas week 2024.
The bedrooms and bathrooms are spacious and comfortable and there is a very high standard of linen, decor, fittings and features throughout the house. Liquid hand soaps, moisturiser, shower gel and shampoo are all exclusively from the Bath House in Ambleside, which is a nice touch. It was if the hosts had thought of absolutely everything guests might need, from the spare umbrellas to a multitude of kitchen utensils and cookware (very handy for making Christmas dinner!) On arrival we were delighted with the unexpected and very welcome Christmas themed hamper including, cake, mince pies, Prosecco and red wine. The welcome pack was very helpful and informative, the Wifi worked very well for those who needed it and the two separate communal living areas with large TVs were very comfortable. The parking bay is a good size for a large car and I found it easy enough to reverse out again onto the quiet road at the back of the house. A special thank you to Janet, the housekeeper who lives locally, for being so helpful with a couple of queries on arrival and particularly for contacting me after our stay to help locate and return a couple of items we had left behind! I would definately recommend this house stay to others and we are already thinking of returning again sometime in the future.

Overflowing with charm and character
If you're considering booking The Little Cottage, by all means, do. The pictures and video simply do not do it justice. Perfectly charming and cosy, The Little Cottage an incredible local art collection. It's as if you're staying in a gallery, minus the stuffiness. The owners have clearly poured heart and soul into every detail, and it doesn't go unnoticed. If you're interested in Beatrix Potter, the cottage is also home to a collection of discrete character paraphernalia, from Squirrel Nutkin references sprinkled throughout the house to an endearing selection of character garden sculptures in the back garden. Excellent (and responsive) heating in winter, comfortable beds, and well stocked and appointed kitchen and amenities. The boot room with drying rack is a plus, as is the star gazing-friendly hot tub. Take care with parking if you're in a large vehicle, as parking is tight (for long vehicles) and can take some maneuvering, as with many areas in the Lake District. Otherwise fantastic location close to Ambelside and Grasmere. Take note the owners' recommendations in the welcome book in the cottage--they've many spot-on recommendations for the area. Prompt and clear communication with Dan the owner--we'll be returning!

Lovely property in a great location so handy for the centre of Ambleside and with a car park pass so you could safely park your car in the large car park a couple of minutes from the property.
The road the property is on is very narrow and double yellow lined so it is slightly problematic when arriving with luggage. The road is also very noisy on occasion. Right opposite a pub and the dustbin wagon woke us very early one morning. There was a big problem with the main TV in the lounge which was described as a Sky/Smart TV meaning you could watch on demand services. We noticed very quickly that there were no streaming capabilities but the very helpful housekeeper had her husband visit us on the Saturday morning to attempt to resolve it when it was discovered that not only was it not a Smart TV, it neither had any of the Sky functionality either due to the owner's account issues with Sky. In fairness, the father of the owner did try and resolve the issues but it went from getting a new TV on day 2 to finally getting a Roku streaming stick on day 4. The facilities at the property were very good - no microwave but a double oven, fridge/freezer, washer/dryer, dishwasher etc. The bed linens and towels were of excellent quality but, as some other reviews have mentioned, the sofa is pretty uncomfortable.

Outstanding ..
It’s been said but The Little Cottage is a unique find, it’s quality of finish is genuinely exceptional and Dan made the entire experience from first enquiry email, through the booking process to post holiday a real pleasure. The cottage is beautifully appointed, it’s facilities and quality of every element are just a cut above. The garden is a delight and the hot tub welcomed. Everything is “as new” and every pot pan, utensil and appliance of exceptional brand and quality. My family and I visited in August, 2 children and dog, and whilst it is a cottage it’s use of colour, furniture never and it’s clever outside room and space never left us on top of one another. The area itself is idyllic a true find in the U.K. and walks, cycling and water sports are all on your doorstep. The Britannia Inn which is a minute from your door serves superb food and has a quiet happy buzz about it and you get to people watch all the days day walkers making it down from the numerous passes that meet in the village. What can we say 5 stars all the way..

Absolutely lovely property and we had a fantastic stay.
We were both impressed with the cleanliness and the attention to detail throughout. The kitchen was lovely and more than adequate for our two meals in (the other one we ate out) and the bathroom was fantastic ⦠bath/shower and separate shower! Toiletries were provided and lovely big towels. The bed was not so comfortable for me (bad back/arthritic knees) but that was just me. The only grumble was the settee was quite uncomfortable for both of us but my husband managed on a chair and I sank into the settee but didnât feel comfortable. Wouldnât stop me coming back though! The owners kindly provided us with a lovely hamper which was much appreciated, and we love the location too. Parking is always going to be a problem in Ambleside but we were provided with a parking disc to allow us free parking during our stay. We would love to come back ⦠Ambleside is one of our happy places and the Old Village Shop is a wonderful place to stay. Thank you, we had a wonderful relaxing stay and used buses to get around! Perfect and lovely!
