Roomy and cozy stay

We had a great stay at the Rose cottage. Welcomed with some lovely flowers and the well known delicious cake, we soon felt at home. Keld is a perfect place for hiking and there are definately some nice places in the Dales to visit. A good place when you want to hike or relax and be a bit away from the hectic life.

A really delightful cottage in a beautiful part of the country. Rose Cottage is probably the most well maintained and comfortable holiday cottage we have ever stayed in, and there have been many! Thank you Alison for making us feel so welcome.

Amazing Cottage in a Stunning Setting

Stayed here for three nights. The place felt like home with all the comforts and amenities one would need. It is spacious with generous sized bedrooms, and a relaxing living room. It is located in the beautiful village of Keld, with hikes at your doorstep. I highly recommend a stay, and I know, like myself, you will be back. Thanks Alison. 😊

Wonderful Cottage in a Wonderful Location - Highly Recommended

Lovely cosy cottage that met, no not met, exceeded all our expectations. Spotlessly clean, well equipped and so cosy, we felt "at home" as soon as we arrived. Communications with the owner were brilliant and the fresh flowers and home baked fruit leaf a lovely touch. The location was great with a number of interesting and varied walks on the doorstep. Will certainly be looking to revisit in the future.

Wonderful holiday in Keld.

We enjoyed our stay in this property very much. The cottage is very clean, comfortable, well equipped and tastefully decorated. The garden is beautiful and a lovely place to sit and have a glass of wine after a day's walking in the hills. Parking in front of the cottage is easy. The area is stunning. (It is advisable to take provisions with you as it is a fair drive to the shops.) We would definitely stay there again.

New Year stay

Beautiful cottage. Alison kindly decorated the cottage with a Christmas tree and decorations for us. The goodies she left for us were greatly appreciated! Very comfortable stay. Lovely with the wood burner. Kitchen had everything you needed for cooking. We hope to return when the weather is better. Thank you!
