Gorgeous cottage with absolutely everything you could need. Lots of lovely touches to make it homely and it was comfortable and clean. Would really recommend. No shop in the village though so best to turn up with the essentials - milk etc.

We love the location of Rowan House, we stayed in October and it was lovely coming back to warm cosy house after a walk. It is spacious and clean, kitchen well equipped. We can recommend and hope to visit again next year.

This is a lovely property in a great spot with beautiful scenery all around. It was clean and tidy, really well-equipped, and felt spacious and comfortable. We couldn't have asked for more. A huge plus is the bus stop just down the road by the village hall — regular buses run to Keswick and Penrith, making it easy to get around without the car.Highly recommended!
