  Our stay at Rose Cottage was perfect and had everything we needed for our 8 night stay.

  The property was clean, had comfortable beds, and all essential provisions you would expect for self-catering. Extras such as books and board games were also provided along with tourist information. The conservatory was ideal to enjoy a coffee and relax during the day, with the wood fire in the lounge providing cosy space to relax in the evening. The external utilty room was a real benefit for us, where we could leave walking boots, etc, without taking these in to the main property. There is also enough parking for the property with access to one of the garages also provided. The location was great with walks in the surrounding area or a short drive away depending on what you wanted to do. The small village of Dalston has a shop for groceries, with Carlisle only being 15 minutes away for bigger supermarkets. The owners were fantastic, provided recommendations, and also very accommodating to assist us. I would definitely recommend Rose Cottage and would stay again if in the area. Thank you to Julie for letting us stay at your wonderful cottage.

  Proximity to lakes etc good.

  Seemed like cottage had a superficial clean but needs thorough clean. Moved settee to pick up something that had fallen & horrified at the dirt & dust under there. Similar under beds but not as bad. Also food bits under cushions. Any cardboard packaging in fridge was saturated- obviously fridge not working properly. Very noisy area both from main road and cars speeding through village- perhaps this should be mentioned ? Also lots of dogs barking especially at night- wondered if there’s a boarding kennel nearby? As we were leaving a neighbour (politely) told us we shouldn’t have been parking in space 1. He said he decided not to say anything as he saw that we had 2 cars but his wife wanted him to say something. Not really something you want to deal with on holiday. We had booked the cottage to treat our daughter & granddaughters who are going through a difficult time & having lots of work done on their house so needed to get a way. Wanted a little bit of luxury for them wasn’t quite like that unfortunately.

  We have just returned from a lovely week’s stay at Rainbow Cottage as a group of 4 adults and 2 young children.

  The house was spotlessly clean and very nicely presented. The location is great, the village has a brilliant play park and we enjoyed the food at the pub. We found it a great base to explore the local area. Things we loved: gorgeous views, well equipped kitchen, nice open living space, ample bathrooms, very quiet, high chair and children’s utensils were really handy. Things I’d improve: The towels provided are tiny! Almost like large hand towels, some bath sheets would be a nice addition. The wifi was very slow and the reach of the router very poor, could do with a better quality router box. We all hurt our shins on the very sharp edges of the wooden bed frames! Furniture while nice quality, is a bit bulky and cumbersome in the smaller rooms. Would’ve preferred a simple chest of drawers and some hanging hooks in bedroom 2 so there could’ve been a bit more space for 2 adults to move around. Overall we had a great week and we would definitely stay again. Thanks for having us!

  We recently stayed at Rainbow cottage over Christmas.

  Donna called me a few days before to see if we had any questions or needed anything etc. Upon arrival we instantly fell in love with the cottage. With a teenager, two babies and a dog we sometimes struggle to find a cottage that has everything we need and that caters for everyone. This was not the case here in any way shape or form. The cottage had everything we needed and more. The cottage was immaculate and was extremely comfortable. It really did feel like a home from home. Our youngest unfortunately became ill whilst we were here (apologies to the neighbours for the upset crying in the middle of the night!) but because the cottage was so lovely it helped us to keep her as comfortable as possible while she got better. We are already looking at dates for us to stay again. Thank you for the special touches Donna and the presents under the tree. Your thoughtfulness and attention to detail did not go unnoticed at all. We cannot wait to stay at Rainbow cottage again. X
