Bijou 17th Century Cottage

This unique, characterful property has been thoughtfully designed to make the best use of space available and is Grade 2 listed. It lies in a picturesque setting and results in a charming cottage with a wealth of interesting and original features – panelled wood doors and wardrobe and Stuart beams. The holiday home boasts a reading/dressing room, a log burner, beautifully dressed windows with stylish fabrics and accessories. Original Lakeland slate flooring and exposed oak beams, with contemporary oak flooring upstairs. The view of local fells can be seen from the southern kitchen and bedroom windows, tempting for walkers. Guests can simply park up for the week and enjoy the lakes on foot. The cottage has walks straight from the door, along with breathtaking lake and mountain scenery. This cosy village cottage is designed for two. Note: No children allowed, including infants or smoking, but dogs may be considered. Shop (Spar), ATM, garage and gastro pub 50 metres away.

The cottage was built by 1690 and was originally part of the Coaching House, now Traditional Grade II Listed, and stables on the main Windermere route.

Outstanding, circular walk from the cottage to Troutbeck; after a visit to the National Trust Townend Hall, have a drink at The Mortal Man then follow old tracks and footpaths up to the top of Wansfell, for outstanding views over Windermere and Ambleside.

Lovely stay
Cute little cottage in a good location with everything you would need. Stairs are typical of the age of the cottage, after a day out in the hills they became a challenge in themselves! Overall lovely couple days away. Thanks! Spar across the road had everything you would need including logs and kindling.

Absolutely beautiful
Rosebud cottage was beautiful. Stress free check-in. Cottage had everything you need. Comfortably furnished. This was our first time to the lakes (which we absolutely loved), the location of the cottage is perfect, just a 10 min drive & your in Bowness. Which has a great, friendly vibe. With loads of restaurants & bars/ cafes. We had the best weekend & we will definitely be booking again. ☆☆☆☆☆

Lovely, cosy cottage.
We really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful cottage. It's in a great location and is the perfect place to cosy up by the fire and to use as a base to explore the Lakes. This was our second visit and we'll defnitely be back!

Amazing little find
A gorgeous cottage, ideal for a little getaway over Christmas. The owners sent comprehensive instructions of how to find it as it is tucked away. The neighbours were quiet and courteous. The cottage was even decorated with a little tree and other bits. I was worried about being cold but it was lovely and warm despite the constant rain outside throughout my stay.

A delightful quaint cottage!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Rosebud Cottage. The amenities are well thought out. Modern bathroom including a superb heated towel rack, full kitchen with quality dishes, a washing machine for our dirty laundry, etc. The location was convenient, and we took the bus everywhere. We would not hesitate to return to this charming and quiet location.
