The Roses Reviews

Really dont want to say howlovely The Roses is, rather others didnt know so we can keep it for ourselves. ..... the pictues dont do the Roses Justice, fab, quirky homely cottage , close enough to Bowness but just enough out of the way to not have to deal with traffic etc, parking and enclosed garden are a big bonus in this area, and we mustnt forget the fabulous outside loo.

I actually found it very unclean and smelt musty ,cutlery, cups pans were not clean , the linen on the beds was clean though, its in a really good location, its ashame really as its a lovely building, in need of a deep clean . No tea,coffee or sugar .

Lovely house. . great location.. comfy bed and the house was clean and tidy.. just like stepping back in time with furniture to the 1970s.. turning up at my grandparents house.. it made us smile and recalled lots of lovely memories.. thank you.. an enjoyable holiday.

Firs time staying in Bowness. Thoroughly enjoyed our time. Unfortunately the weather was quite poor but nobody can control the elements and we didn't let it put a dent in our break. Our dog was very welcome too. Numerous cafes and bars and even a cinema right on our door step, not to mention the lake itself and the evening entertainment. Would love to stay at the Roses again!!

Location of the roses is perfect though not sure if suitable for the elderly or someone with a disability due to the hilliness, loved finding the viewpoint though again the steepness nearly killed me lol. .... would certainly stay here again if I ventured back but do think it would benefit from a bit of a makeover as living area looked more like a dentist waiting room and dining area was a bit of a let down loved the comfort of the bed in the back room but again a bit old fashioned so overall needs a bit of a makeover, the biggest let down of all was the distinct lack of tea sugar coffee salt ect the absolute basics which you even get in a hotel room. Overall not enough to put me off coming back but think it would a lot of other people and for 700 for 5 nights I'm sure there's a lot of competition out there.

We loved The Roses and will def be back, as so many have said, the pictures don't do it justice. Spotlessly clean loved our stay

One of the most comfortable, pleasant houses we have stayed at in the area. Spacious yet warm with a lovely calming atmosphere and many personal touches which made it all the more interesting in comparison to many otherwise bland holiday cottages. Feels very much like an existing family home. Views from upstairs are lovely. I came here to rest and write, but those seeking easy access to transport and local shops not to mention being just around the corner from the lake, will love it as a base. Being slightly set back from the road with trees and only private parking to the rear lends this property a quieter feel compared to many others in the area. The interior is much nicer than the online photos' with good wifi, a cozy fire and smart tv. Only issue I would mention is that the freezer is in the cellar, which might not be a great idea for those wishing to nip down for ice cubes whilst drinking alcohol. The stone steps are steep! The downstairs fridge could do with an ice compartment for this reason. Washing machine, cooker etc all excellent. The property has it's own dedicated parking space at the rear, which is easy to locate as the door number is painted on it clearly. We were very sad to say goodbye!
