The parking, it is advertised as having free parking but there isn’t any, the courtyard was filled with a builder’s van and then cars so even if you wanted to sit outside you really couldn’t. It was also in the middle of nowhere, we went to celebrate an 18th birthday but as there was nowhere to eat nearby we had to drive which meant not having a celebratory drink. The cottage is lovely the location not so much, you have to drive everywhere as there is nothing to do there, probably my own fault should have read up on it more and where it was situated. If you want a stay where you’re away from it all this is the place for you, if you’re going for shops and places to eat, find somewhere else.

It was a beautiful little cottage, nicely presented and furnished and had the little things like toilet and kitchen rolls, washing up liquid, hand soap and towels.

Car Parking, Finding parking spot on Main road sometimes difficult. Unfortunately no parking adjacent to Red Rose Cottage. However we managed the situation and it didn’t cause problems or detract from the overall impression of the property

The location was good with easy access onto A66 route between Keswick and Whitehaven, so good location for both the coast and lakes. Great Broughton appeared to be a friendly village

In spite of everything I have said about what was good, we wouldn't go back because there is no handrail on the top section of the stairs. I have a bad knee, and I seriously need a rail in case it 'clicks'. I was terrified every time I had to go down.

Very well fitted up small house in an excellent location to explore the northwestern lakes and Cumbrian coast. The owners were very helpful when we managed to loose the house key.

Liked it all. Was a bit confused initially as thought the property was situated in Main Street, Cockermouth. Busy road through the village. Thought parking might be an issue but we did manage to find a space along the street every time we came back from a day out.

Ideal for the 3 of us. Furnishings and decor finished to a high standard. Very comfortable. Friendly and helpful owners.

Struggled a bit with parking and not enough towels

nothing at all.

the beautiful had that unique and wonderful English cottage feel. it was super clean, fresh, modern and had everything that you could ever need for a vacation/holiday home. the owners are wonderful, location is wonderful, the village is just on the outskirts of the National park, which means you get the quiet location but the benefits of being close enough to travel into the stunning Lake District mountains and tourist locations. the local people are warm and friendly. if you want a once in a life time experience then pop into the local community pub called the Punchbowl! do not pass this property, make it your number one choice.

the oven was very complicated to use even with the instructions, it took us an hour to get the actual oven to work, and after another 45 minutes we gave up on the grill!
