Rose Cottage - Caldbeck

Rose Cottage is a charming late 17th-century traditional stone cottage, lovingly renovated to combine historic character with modern comfort.

Location & Walks

Nestled on a quiet no-through road along the Cumbria Way, the cottage offers direct access to the Caldbeck Fells and easy routes to High Pike, Carrock Fell, Blencathra, and Skiddaw. It’s a quieter, less crowded alternative to Keswick, yet still close to an excellent village pub and café within walking distance.

Heritage & Craftsmanship

We’ve worked with local builders, joiners, craftsmen, and artists to retain a true Lake District feel while creating a home we love. Many features, including shelving, coat hooks, plate rack, bannister, and iron log basket, have been hand-crafted by the talented Paul Bainbridge of Forge and Forest.

Rose Cottage combines history, comfort, and convenience, offering the perfect base for walkers, couples, families, and dog-lovers seeking a peaceful retreat in the heart of Caldbeck.
