The road the cottage is on is extremely quiet and is just a short walk into Grasmere, there is a lot of space and the hot tub is great after a days walking! There is plenty within walking distance so you can leave the car for the weekend!

Rockwood cottage

Great spot for walking and a catch up with friends . Grasmere a short walk away with lovely restaurants near by. Plenty of room in the cottage for our group of 8 , hot tub and cottage very clean. Some cooking pans did t work on the induction hob and there was a shortage of water glasses for the full group . In all a pleasant stay .

Lovely holiday at a lovely cottage - shame the weather didn't match the property. Would have liked more storage for food and possibly a tumble drier/drying room - weather was typically british / lake district summer Overall a fantastic holiday in a special cottage

Great property, beautiful setting in a great location for exploring windmere

We stayed at The Rock for the lake windmere marathon, with family and friends. The property location was in an awesome setting with a beautiful few minutes walk into grasmere village. The house is also in perfect place for other walking routes, we just didn’t have time. Our group had a toddler, teens and adults and everyone was catered for with house. A great space for the teens in the snug and adults the space to enjoy a vino in the kitchen/dinner. Everyone enjoyed the hot tub. I would definitely recommend this property for staying whilst holidaying in the lakes.

Unfortunately the location of property not as advertised. Your information advised the inn at grasmere as a 2 minute walk!! It’s at least 20/25 minutes which normally isn’t a problem but holidaying with a 2 yr old and a new born we picked for the location in the town. Also the cottage needed a bit of a clean, outside furniture really dirty and only 1 of 3 outside lights working by the hot tub. Saying all this we love grasmere and the lakes so was still able to make our holiday memorable.

Gorgeous cottage in peaceful paradise

This house was absolutely perfect for our family of ten, including older adults, adults, teens and school age children. The interior appears recently updated and was absolutely immaculate with everything you could need including Nespresso, coffee press, dishwasher, clothes washer, microwave, stovetop, oven, comfy beds. The surrounding area is so peaceful and inspiring, a short walk to the local town with cafes, restaurants, shops, pub and food coop. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with something for everyone, gorgeous hiking in the mountains, visiting the Casterligg stone circle, stand up paddle boarding, literary history tours and boating and fishing. Days full of fun and then retreating to our gorgeous and comfy cottage where we shared meals around a large table and everyone enjoyed the hot tub. Check in and check out was a breeze, the property managers were incredibly helpful and responsive and we felt very well taken care of.

Perfect Lakeland Cottage

We had the most wonderful stay at Rockwood recently. The cottage is beautiful, very well equipped, clean, comfortable and very tastefully decorated. The cottage has high end appliances, comfortable beds and lovely touches such as an Amazon Dot, play room with Xbox, games and hot tub. There isn’t really a garden and the ‘yard’ that houses the hot tub is connected to the parking space and so not contained (which can be an issue for little children and pets) as it leads on to the road. Having said that, the road is very quiet. The location is perfect: it’s only about a 10 minute walk in to the lovely village of Grasmere. The walks around the cottage are beautiful and picturesque. 10 of us stayed for my father’s 80th birthday and had the best weekend. The layout of the cottage is perfect for socialising - something we could never do in each other’s houses. I could not fault the cottage and the company (Retreats and Hideaways) were brilliant to deal with. My only suggestion would be that they should provide more than one door key for a party as big as ours.

Christmas Stay

We had a wonderful stay over Christmas. The cottage was perfect for our family and the facilities were brilliant. We had lots of space ( there was 7 adults) and went on some lively walks. The cottage is tastefully decorated and was also decorated for Christmas which was a lovely bonus. We would definitely recommend it to anyone.

Great holiday cottage

Great cottage and hot tub! Overall a great experience, enjoyed the location, kitchen and dining area were a fantastic focal point. Bedrooms pretty spacious mostly. Only one proper shower was a bit awkward (another in upstairs bedroom but just a shower head attached to the bath tap). Only 2 parking spaces, nearby hotel had an arrangement for another one (though when we asked they at first didn’t know, then asked for money, before letting 2 cars park there for free). But overall these were minor points and was an excellent well equipped cottage!

Lovely house

Lovely house. Spacious zones so a large group of us comfortably chill. Parking is an issue if you have more than 2 cars and the option to park for additional cars is quite a distance away.

Nice place in a beautiful area.

We had a lovely stay. There was a group of us so plenty of space for everyone. The hot tub was great and a maintenance company visited daily to clean it. Some of the areas looking a bit tired. On arrival there was a leake in the bathroom sink. Which was resolved in a timely manner. But the second fridge wasn’t working on arrival also. It would have been good to have a separate shower upstairs as only one over the bath that you couldn’t get the temperature right. So only one working shower downstairs. But overall a lovely place.
