Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviewers consistently mention the spotless condition of the cottage, indicating a very high standard of cleanliness.
The location is generally praised for its proximity to Kendal, Windermere, and the Lake District, though one review mentions the local village is somewhat run down, slightly affecting the score.
Guests find the furniture comfortable and the cottage cosy, with only minor suggestions for improvement, such as a curtain over the front door.
The cottage is described as well-equipped with a kitchen, washer/dryer, and dishwasher. However, there is a lack of information on waste disposal and a comment on mixed fabric bedding, which slightly lowers the score.
The provision of cleaning supplies and a welcoming touch with milk and sweets are appreciated, but as these gifts are not guaranteed, the score reflects this.
About this property
Nestled in the Lakeland village of Burneside is this semi-detached, family-friendly cottage overlooking the river, Rose Cottage. With two bedrooms sleeping four guests, this homely cottage provides off-road parking, excellent self-catering facilities, and easy access to the Lake District National Park.

Inside, a relaxing sitting room awaits with cushioned armchairs, a leather sofa, and a Smart TV, all by the warmth of an electric fire. Stock up the cupboards in the kitchen/diner ready to whip up your best home-cooked dishes, to be enjoyed at the dining table for four. After the day's adventures, load up the dishwasher and washer/dryer, before climbing the stairs to freshen up in the contemporary bathroom with marble-effect tiling, a bath and shower over. The first of two bedrooms is a king-size with lovely rural views, whilst the twin bedroom is nearby, both of which are spacious with plenty of storage for your belongings. Burneside is a wonderful holiday base where the Jolly Anglers Inn and a convenience store provide your self-catering needs; why not pack your clubs and head to Carus Green Golf Course & Driving Range? KendalWall, Lakeland Climbing Centre is also nearby, as well as Handsome Brewery at Bowston Bridge, and the natural food shop, Humble Bumble.
