Cosy Cottage

We had a wonderful stay with our dogs. It is a lovely fully equipped cosy cottage with great views. It’s is in a lovely spot of Braithwaite. The only warning is to be VERY careful leaving the drive as it’s on a blind bend in both directions on a single car road. The garden is lovely and I imagine it will be beautiful to sit outside in Summer.

Brilliant place to stay

We had a very enjoyable stay at Rosebank the place was immaculate. The little touches of fresh flowers , welcome pack for us and our dog was very much appreciated. Even hand wash in both bathrooms and kitchen we usually take our own as none usually provided , plenty of dishwasher tablets and washing up liquid everything thought of . Kitchen was well equipped , comfortable beds and plenty hot water . We loved seeing the wide variety of birds that visited the garden especially the pheasants. The views beautiful and plenty of walks straight from the door

Much needed rest

From the minute I booked with Keswick Cottage’s I knew I’d found the right company. They were extremely helpful in picking the right cottage for me. They gave me reminders all along the way and the app that they send you covers everything that you need. Perfect in every aspect.
Response from VrboOwner on 13 January 2026
Hi, Robert! What a lovely review to read! We're so pleased that we helped you to find your perfect property. Rose Bank is beautiful, with stunning gardens in an underrated location. This lovely home from home has a warm inviting appearance which is further accentuated by the log-burning stove to enjoy cosy nights in. Rose Bank is a great base for many local walks and only a short stroll to the village shop and pubs. As an independent business, comments like this mean the world. It is challenging to stand out against multi-national corporations, but we're glad to know that the personal touch we bring is not unappreciated. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

Lovely cottage with amazing views.

Lovely cottage, easy walking into village for food and buses. Lots of lovely walks from the door. Parking for two cars, tight but ok. Problem with log burner but sorted quickly. Nice garden with views.
Response from VrboOwner on 25 November 2025
Hi, Karen! We're glad you enjoyed your stay at Rose Bank. This cottage has lots of great facilities, including private parking on the driveway, and a large garden with patio furniture to the back of the cottage. The garden is very private and backs onto the surrounding fields and fells. It's such a peaceful sight, and even lovelier in the summer. We hope you'll get a chance to see it again in the coming (warmer, brighter) months. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages.

Lovely comfy cottage in a beautiful location.

We have stayed at Rose Bank Cottage a few times now. Perfect location for walking, plus buses to other walks, into Keswick, etc. so can leave the car at cottage all week if you want. Eating out at Coledale Inn is an easy walk with the dog. Nice big garden for the dog, with plenty of birds for her, unfortunately, to bark at. Comfy beds at the end of the day. All you could need.

Lovely cottage in a great spot

This is a lovely little cottage with off street parking big enough for a large car. Also has a secluded and secure garden for the dogs. The location was perfect for meeting up with friends staying in their motor home in the village. We will definitely return!

Thank you for your fabulous review of Rose Bank Cottage, we are so happy to hear you enjoyed your stay and a good catch up with friends!

Hi Gerry, Thank you for your review. Rose Bank Cottage in the lovely village of Braithwaite is the perfect home from home for a break in the Lakes. It is close to the village shop and both local pubs and there are lots of walks you can do right from the front door. Our apologies that you had an issue with the log burner. This issue has now been rectified so when we hopefully welcome you back again you can take full advantage of it. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

Cosy cottage with fabulous views.

Rose Bank Cottage is cosy and welcoming. We stayed for a week at Easter and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook a roast dinner. The back garden was lovely, with stunning views of the fells and the cottage itself is only a short walk to the centre of the village with all its amenities. A lovely place to stay!

Comfortable Cottage with Fabulous Outlook

Just home from a wonderful week of gorgeous weather in the Lake District. And what better place to spend it than Rose Bank Cottage in Braithwaite! This is a lovely, comfortable cottage, beautifully presented with a fabulous outlook onto farmland and fells. Inside the cottage is well equipped with everything you might need but our favourite part is the back garden: relaxing out there morning and evening makes a perfect topping to our walking holiday.

Lovely cottage in a beautiful area

A lovely cottage with great views and everything we needed for your stay. We didn't book until the day before but everything was ready for us (thank you), other than the tablet with guest instructions which had gone flat but soon came up and is a great idea - much better than bits of paper. The cottage is well-equipped, everything worked and the whole place was spotlessly clean. Braithwaite village shop is a short walk away. With great walks from the door but still close enough to Keswick, the Cumbrian coast and northern / western lakes there is really nothing to dislike here. Hugely recommended and hoping to visit again.

Lovely spacious cottage in great location

This is a lovely cottage in a great location. Braithwaite is a lovely village with a great village shop on the doorstep (fresh bread, cakes and a little tea shop) and friendly pubs. You can walk or cycle from the door and never need to use the car all week. The bus service is also good. The cottage is comfortable, warm and lots of space to store muddy clothes and bikes. The owners were really friendly and helpful and left lots of useful bits and pieces. There is parking outside for two medium sized cars, any bigger and you'd need to park the second in the village which is a few minutes walk. We would definitely return here.
Response from VrboOwner on 5 November 2024
Thank you for your fabulous review, we are delighted that you enjoyed your stay at Rose Bank Cottage! The owner maintains the property beautifully and it's wonderful that they were also able to help you during your holiday. Braithwaite is a little gem of a village and the roads round that part make for some fabulous cycling, hopefully you had some good weather for it! We hope to host you for your next Lakeland break :-) Best wishes, Keswick Cottages
