Rose Cottage is a world class luxury self-catering holiday cottage located in the peaceful village of Hesket Newmarket on the edge of the Northern Fells in the English Lake District National Park. With stunning views up to High Pike and Carrock Fell from the rear and over the village and surrounding countryside from the front, Rose Cottage is the perfect retreat for a break "away from it all". The cottage itself dates back to circa 1770 but has been sympathetically restored in 2008. It retains many of the original property features such as exposed oak beams, stone fireplace, uneven walls, yet with all the modern luxuries you'd expect from a luxury 5 star holiday cottage, this is the perfect place to spend time in the Lake District with friends or family. Relax in the comfy leather sofas in front of the roaring heat of the wonderful wood burning stove with a glass of wine.
