For the past two decades it has been successfully run as a guest house offering hospitality to those wishing to explore the many attractions of North Lakeland.
Situated on the outskirts of the traditional Cumbrian market town of Cockermouth, Rose Cottage is a mere three miles from the beautiful Lorton Valley and Buttermere. To the East is the popular and perhaps better known town of Keswick with the largest lake, Lake Windermere, only forty five minutes away.

Cockermouth also boasts its own castle with the adjacent Castle Brewery - why not try the local Jennings beer ?

Local amenities include Golf (two nearby courses), riding and pony trekking, fishing, tennis and at the local leisure centre swimming and badminton.

Under the present ownership of resident proprietors John and Susan Graham, Rose Cottage offers many modern amenities. All of the seven bedrooms are en-suite, comfortably furnished and centrally heated. All have colour television and tea and coffee making facilities. There are two family rooms, three ground floor rooms and children are most welcome. (Cots are available)

Full English Breakfast is included and dinner is available every evening except Sunday. Most diets are catered for and we are also pleased to cater for babies and children. Free private car parking and WIFI internet access is available for all guests.

Well behaved dogs are welcome in the house, but we do request that they are not exercised in the garden. There are many walks adjacent.

With so much to see and do is it any wonder that many of our guests return year after year.
