    A wonderful place to stay, everything was there that you needed. A bonus was the washing machine and drier, especially on damp days! It is in a great location for exploring the area.

    Perfect location for touring the area. Lovely clean property with everything we needed for a few days' stay. Had no problem parking near the house. Our daughter joined us for 1 night and she managed to park at a nearby car park with no problem....

    Location is great. Very convenient, short walk to the pier and bus stop is just right beside. The house is clean and cozy, it has everything you'd need for a family short stay.

Company information

I have been in the self-catering business for over 30 years and along with my dedicated team offer quality homes in the lake district for guests to enjoy and relax in . When I visit Rowan cottage I think there is nothing better than a local walk, followed by a drink in the Hole in t wall inn and a meal at the house of Sian . Bring your own streaming device for an evening of films and put some logs on he fire.......Bliss
