The cottage has a wealth of history and character, and Rose Lea has been furnished sympathetically in keeping with the property’s historic past. From the front, enter into the cosy oak beamed living /dining room with a multi-fuel burner, perfect for gathering around in the winter months. There is wonderful Court Cupboard dating back to 1701 – be sure to take a look at the old newspaper cuttings inside the understairs cupboard on your way through to the well fitted kitchen with all the equipment you’ll need to properly self-cater during your stay and Iron grate feature, probably 19th century. Downstairs there is a panelled bathroom with bath, hand basin and WC and a separate shower room. Steep winding slate stairs lead you up to two pretty bedrooms, both with exposed beams showing the original Cruck construction of the cottage. The double bedroom has a romantic king size four poster bed and built in wardrobe whilst the other is a twin with two single beds and a feature fireplace. Rose Lea Cottage is blessed with a beautiful walled garden to the rear, a mix of lawn and manicured beds awash with colour and fragrance in the summer months and the perfect place to relax after a long day on the fells. Parking is available in the garage for one car (Subaru Outback Estate but no bigger) and there is also storage space for a couple of bikes and walking gear if required.

Pretty 17th century cottage with roses around the door Rose Lea is a pretty Grade 2 listed, white washed cottage, adorned with creeping roses to the front. It is thought to date from 1691 and is one of a row of similar cottages in the tiny hamlet of Outgate, sitting directly opposite a green which is often used for grazing sheep. The cottage is a very short stroll from the Outgate Inn and just a mile from the world-famous Drunken Duck Inn. The picturesque village of Hawkshead is close by, home to the Beatrix Potter Gallery (a designated World Heritage Site) where Potter’s original sketches and water colours are on display. Local footpaths from the door lead to the shores of Windermere, the stunning beauty spot Tarn Hows, and the popular village of Ambleside where you’ll find a selection of chic shops, two cinemas, tea rooms, and many highly rated restaurants.
