We stayed as a family of 4 plus dog and had a wonderful, relaxing week's stay in Rose Cottage during February half term. HM is a lovely quiet village, in a beautiful area on the outskirts of the northern Cumbrian fells. The cottage is very clean and is extremely comfortable, having all the amenities necessary to make a relaxing and enjoyable stay. The owner popped in to say hello and was very helpful with advising good pubs and walks in the area. Having bathrobes and a lovely welcome hamper was a lovely treat. The spa bath was great after a long hike!! The village has a local pub which serves tasty food and a good selection of ales. Would definitely stay in Rose cottage again when we next come to this area - and we don't usually say that!!
This was our first time staying in Rose Cottage. What a wonderful cottage- it still retains the old charm of an 18th century property yet with some modern twists.The kitchen has all modern appliances and is airy and spacious, but it was lovely and cosy to sit in front of the roaring log fire in the sitting room on a cold January evening! We also loved the Jacuzzi which was a welcome treat after a long walk in the surrounding countryside. The village of Hesket Newmarket itself is peaceful and laid back, and the local pub, The Old Crown, is just a stone's throw away. If you love a small friendly pub with bags of character then this is the place. Overall we had a relaxing, chilled out stay in a 5-star cottage....wish we could have stayed on longer!
My partner and I stayed at rose cottage for the second time and it didn't disappoint. With its great setting and cosey feel we left feeling relaxed and will definitely be staying there again in the near future. Whether you like walking or just sitting around the log burner rose cottage has it all. We visited a whiskey, gin and vodka distillery as well as a lovely walk around Keswick lake.
We highly recommend visiting this place if you get chance. You will not be disappointed.

Rose cottage is an absolute gem! The beams show the cottages age straight away but if you look closely you can see how the walls curve and the special detail that's been used to fix modern radiators to these walls. The skylight in the kitchen is glorious, lighting up the cottages modern kitchen. Everything about rose cottage is easy, modern, sophisticated where it needs to be (the bath!!) but then the simplicity of the open fire, the antiques dotted around, the recliner couches :)
Oh we will definitely be back soon. I miss watching the cows walking past the front window for milking ... Yes you really are in a self sufficient little village (with a brewery may I add) perfection! X

I travelled up with my husband to Rose Cottage, both of us looking forward to a week of unwinding and relaxing.
The cottage and its location were perfect! We were very lucky with the weather too. Rose Cottage is so beautiful inside and out and the gardens are gorgeous. We spent a lot of time outdoors or sat in the conservatory.
Our dogs enjoyed the many walks we found from the front door, it was lovely not to have to drive anywhere!
Good local pubs too.

Had the best weekend in this lovely cottage. With easy access to walks around Heskett Newmarket and a lovely pub just on the door step it is the ideal holiday place. The cottage is kept lovely and has a real homely feeling about it, you find it very easy to get comfortable there. It is one of the places you could quite easily stay forever.

Brilliant cottage - cosy, comfortable and clean. Super welcome pack was appreciated and felt very at home. Would definitely return.
Great location for getting out and about the area and was a stone's throw from fantastic local pub - The Old Crowne too; well worth a few visits to sample the beers brewed n site.
