We had a fabulous week in this lovely cottage. Very remote, which we really loved! Plenty of walking and cycling to do in the area, either a short drive or straight from the cottage. Lovely friendly, helpful neighbours. Kids (12 and 9) loved the movie nights with the projector and huge choice of dvds, and the cosy living room with wood burning stove. Read the reviews and what facilities were available in advance so knew what to expect in terms of cooking facilities and access to shops etc. so didn’t cause us any issues.

Yes, we would definitely recommend Rose Cottage and, indeed, have already done so to our friends. The setting is wonderful; the cottage delightful; and the area stunning. The cottage was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. We enjoyed cosy evenings in front of the wood-burning stove, watching some of the hundreds of DVD movies on the "big screen", and didn't miss the TV at all. The cottage is very well-equipped and beautifully presented. It was no surprise to find the visitors' book full of lavish praise ##### David This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christine Jan 14, 2019 #### Wonderful place, cottage and location, so peaceful.

Lovely little cottage. Decorated and finished to a high standard with all equipment necessary in the kitchen and bathroom. Prefect location to see the stars and for walking over the countryside. Plenty to do in the area although you need to travel to most places. Very isolated and very peaceful. However local amenities are sparse due to the location for a dark sky park. Heating, for upstairs, is from a solid fuel Rayburn - which is quite a skill to keep going, but heating is supplemented downstairs by under floor heating and a log fire in the lounge. Hot water is supplemented by an immersion heater and electric shower. ##### David ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotel Zoe Fisherman's Wharf](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-Hotel-Zoe-Fishermans-Wharf.h3552.Hotel-Information) > > [Pet-friendly Hotels in Whistler](https://www.expedia.ca/Whistler-Hotels-Pet-Friendly-Hotel.0-0-d4115-tPetfriendlyHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Cave Hotel & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Faversham-Hotels-Cave-Hotel-Golf-Resort.h33410673.Hotel-Information) > > [Lakes Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Windermere-Hotels-Lakes-Hotel-And-Spa.h901040.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Waikiki Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Honolulu-Hotels-Hilton-Waikiki-Beach.h25227.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Heathrow Windsor](https://www.expedia.ca/Slough-Hotels-Heathrow-Windsor-Marriott-Hotel.h3830.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Edmonton](https://www.expedia.ca/Edmonton-Hotels-The-Westin-Edmonton.h20275.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn London-Gatwick Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Horley-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-London-Gatwick-Airport.h16918.Hotel-Information) > > [The Porch House](https://www.expedia.ca/Cheltenham-Hotels-The-Porch-House.h4595892.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Miami Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Beach-Hotels.d8833.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Millcroft](https://www.expedia.ca/Penrith-Hotels-Millcroft.h26994538.Hotel-Information) > > [Pinnacle Hotel Whistler Village](https://www.expedia.ca/Whistler-Hotels-Pinnacle-Hotel-Whistler-Village.h68320.Hotel-Information) > > [The Greenway Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Cheltenham-Hotels-The-Greenway-Hotel-Spa.h520203.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal Whitby](https://www.expedia.ca/Whitby-Hotels-The-Royal-Hotel.h57917040.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Aruba](https://www.expedia.ca/Noord-Hotels-Radisson-BLU-Aruba.h54138159.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Vancouver](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver-Hotels.d178315.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Studio 6 Mississauga, ON - Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-Studio-6-Mississauga.h1806856.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire](https://www.expedia.ca/Hook-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Hotel-Hampshire.h986107.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Hotel Manchester City Centre, A Verified Net Zero Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Manchester-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Manchester-City-Centre.h2601411.Hotel-Information) > > [Pine Lake Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Carnforth-Hotels-Pine-Lake-Resort.h1928661.Hotel-Information) > > [Burgh Island Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kingsbridge-Hotels-Burgh-Island-Hotel.h34611055.Hotel-Information) > > [The Belfry](https://www.expedia.ca/Birmingham-Hotels-The-Belfry.h3976.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Hull Marina by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Hull-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Hull-Marina.h10609.Hotel-Information) > > [Capri Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Niagara-Falls-Hotels-Capri-Inn.h2895885.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Piarco (POS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/pos/toronto-to-port-of-spain) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Narita (NRT)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/nrt/vancouver-to-tokyo) > > [Turkish Airlines](https://www.expedia.ca/Turkish-Airlines-Flights.cTK.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Bellingham (BLI) to San José del Cabo (SJD)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/bli/sjd/bellingham-to-san-jose-del-cabo) ### Packages > [Mexico](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/kid-friendly-vacations/117/Mexico) > > [all inclusive vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations)
