What our customers say about their holidays

  The cottage was delightful but I think more attention to detail is required for the price of the property.

  The furniture is tired. The settee in the front room has stains on it and although comfortable to sit on I felt a little uncomfortable because of the way the cleanliness made me feel. The bed although comfortable squeaked every time you moved…this needs looking at. The fridge had been cleaned with bleach prior to our arrival so smelt of bleach…fridges shouldn’t be cleaned with bleach. For some reason we couldn’t get the fridge to work…it kept freezing the food. The garden was nice but could be lovely with a bit more attention to detail. And it would have been nice if the garden furniture had been cleaned prior to our arrival. The conservatory was lovely but the skylight needed cleaning. Lots of cobwebs and dead flies. The bathroom had very large cobwebs in it. Overall the place is nice, cosy and peaceful but as said it needs a bit more TLC to make it better. It’s in a lovely location and we would stay again for that reason.

  Really enjoyed our stay, the fire was a great bonus especially all the wood being included.

  The heating was supposed to come on at 3pm, but when we arrived at 4 it wasn’t on and the apartment was cold, perhaps the times haven’t been changed with the time change? It would have been nice to have instructions for the coffee machine, ended up spending ages trying to Google how to work it, so only used it once. Lots of equipment in the kitchen, but far too much crockery which left little room for food, a useful small freezer in the hall once I found it! A cosy sitting room, we didn’t find the TV too small but we only have a small one at home. Lots of DVDs and games, although the weather was very wet at times we didn’t use any of them. Very comfortable bed and really warm, didn’t need to heated blanket. Would definitely come again.

  Wonderful location which is the reason for 4 stars.

  The accommodation it’s dated but comfortable, kitchen is small but serviceable. My main issue and the reason I would stay here again was the cleanliness, the bathroom was dirty I had to wipe down the walls, which had hair on them, the bedroom had lots of cobwebs, and has thick dust on skirting boards and the bedside tables had dirty cup marks on from previous guests. The parking is very tight if you have a larger car and it didn’t help that the Gardner’s van was parked in an area blocking easy exit. The grounds and location are excellent and the pub which is just a few minutes walk serves lovely food. We had a wonderful holiday it was just a shame about the cleanliness.

  Beautiful apartment with everything you needed and nice welcome pack on arrival.

  Property set back from the road with lovely gardens to walk round. It was nice to have a designated parking place and also good supply of wood and kindling you could stock up on if needed for the open fire, although when we got back in an evening it was plenty warm enough so didn't end up using it. Nearest pub is literally few minutes walk from the property down a path so you don't have to walk on the road and the location of the property is in easy access of the local towns and villages. I would happily recommend the Rockery Suite for a nice relaxing getaway.

  We have just come back from a lovely holiday at The Rockery Suite.

  It was a great place to stay & explore The Lake District. We had never been before, & found that there is too much to do in a two week holiday!! The accommodation was so cosy & comfortable. The kitchen was a bit smaller than I am used to, but you soon adapt & there was adequate cooking facilities. A very comfortable bad, there lounge was gorgeous with more DVD's than you could view in a year!!! And the log fire was amazing. We enjoyed every single second we were in The Rockery Suite. Thank you so much for a great place to stay.
