Mr Knight
Another wonderful week spent at Rose Cottage; the perfect 'walkers' retreat, warm and cosy with the best log fire. The cottage is superbly equipped, especially the kitchen. The location could not be better, you could spend a week walking each day from the cottage and not have to drive anywhere. The parking space suits small cars, but with National Trust membership you can park free of charge at the car park opposite, so parking has never been an issue for us. With the Britannia Inn only 40 meters away you never need to worry about a good meal at the end of the day. The cottage is very dog friendly with very well thought out colour schemes so that you don't need to worry about leaving any marks on the floor if it is damp out side. Highly recommended if you are a walker with a dog.

Good base for walking holiday. This cottage is in central location with good size kitchen diner and comfortable beds. Decor and furnishings are tired and dated . For all practical purposes parking space is unusable on a regular basis.

The cottage is in a very good location, it is a reasonable size for 4 people and whilst the bathrooms are modern, the rest of the cottage felt a little tired. The parking spot is rather difficult to negotiate and not really suitable for larger cars.
