Rock Cottage | Stunning Yorkshire Hot Tub Break

About Rock Cottage

Set in the quiet rural village of Cliburn, near Penrith, is the delightful holiday home, Rock Cottage. Perfectly situated for friends and families alike, this property boasts stunning countryside views and is well-positioned to explore the Lake District National Park and nearby amenities.

Rock Cottage welcomes up to eight guests and is an idyllic rural escape. The ground floor hosts a galley kitchen with electric range cooker, and a living/dining area, where you can catch up with loved ones as you tuck into a home-cooked meal by the woodburning stove.

Inside you will also find four bedrooms complete with Smart TVs, including a quaint ground-floor king-size bedroom with woodburning stove, as well as a well-presented double bedroom and two twin bedrooms upstairs, where you can retire after a long day of exploring. Outside, you can make use of the spacious rear garden, where you can soak up the stunning countryside scenery with a morning coffee, overlooking the North Pennines AONB, or take a dip in the private hot tub that rests underneath a tasteful pergola.

Get to know your local area by taking a trip to either the Lakeside Inn or The Bridge if you'd prefer to dine out for a change. Pay a visit to nearby Penrith, where the sites of Penrith Castle, Beacon, and Mayburgh Henge await those looking to brush up on their history.

The market town of Keswick is a short car journey away, where you can immerse yourself in nature during a walk along the Keswick to Threlkeld Railway Trail before stopping by Friars Crag to take in the views of Derwentwater Lake. Further afield is the city of Carlisle, home to historic landmarks such as The Citadel and Carlisle Castle, as well as Kingmoor Nature Reserve and Upperby Park, which are perfect for summer days out, or travel through the Lake District, with the opportunity to summit Helvellyn, stroll around Ullswater, tour Wray Castle, or enjoy all the attractions enveloping Lake Windermere, including an afternoon of watersports.

Rock Cottage Reviews

Jasmine

We will be back! We have had a lovely stay at Rock Cottage! Came for a nice, chilled weekend away with friends and Rock Cottage was the perfect place to do just that. Close to local pubs and shops and the area is remote and peaceful. The cottage was extremely clean and tidy and a true home from home feel. Great facilities and hosts were very helpful and contactable with any additional questions we had. We will definitely be back, recommend to all. Perfect place for friends after a chilled weekend away, families of all ages. Thanks so much for hosting.

Catriona

Beautiful cottage in a beautiful location. Comfortable beds. Amazing log fires. Logs provided by owner to start. Dog proof garden if you haven't got a Cairn. Hot tub was amazing. Great downstairs shower room. Hope we didn't leave too much mess and we will be allowed back.

Very clean, warm and well presented upon arrival. The owner had left some bubbly and dog treats which was appreciated. But having paid 1700 for our 3 night stay at New Year, we were disappointed to have to make a last minute dash into the nearest town to pick up essentials like washing up liquid and kitchen roll. Didnt make sense to find liquid laundry detergent but nothing to wash up with. By New Years Day we had to try and find a store open to buy toilet rolls, dish cloths and tea towels as only 2 of each for a party of 8 during the festive season

Rebecca

Beautiful welcoming cottage in a very, peaceful village, we had a lovely stay. Our girls particularly liked the games box we played Articulate every night! and they enjoyed the horses. The teles in the rooms were well appreciated, super comfy mattresses. Hot tub was fab, especially after a long walkhike. Welcome teas, sugar, milk etc also well received

Lovely cozy cottage, very quiet so nice and relaxing. The cottage is well equipped, comfortable beds, beautiful secure garden which our dogs loved and the hot tub is great. We had lovely days out exploring, going for walks, pub lunches, then spent our evenings in the hot tub and playing games which were provided, lots of fun. Treats were provided for the dogs which was so nice and kind. Tea, coffee and milk were also provided so we could have a drink on arrival which was nice. We had an Asda food delivery arranged for when we arrived, no issues at all. I had messaged the owner a couple of times, just with questions, communication was great. I would highly recommend this cottage for a relaxing break away.

Our family of 6, along with our dog Bronte, had a wonderful stay at Rock Cottage. We had family visiting from Canada and Australia, so it was the perfect opportunity to all spend some quality time together. The cottage was exactly as described, and we were especially impressed by the size of the bedrooms, which were spacious and comfortable for everyone. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would highly recommend Rock Cottage for a relaxing family getaway.

Fantastic stay. It would be great if you gave details of local walks and the exact location of the nearest shop and pub

Lovely cottage, location was gorgeous really quiet and peaceful. It was a bit out of the way but only 20mins for Penrith which has shops etc. It was such a lovely weekend and I highly recommend Rose cottage. Added bonus was the lovely addition to the bottom of the garden.Jeff & Lonestar

Carlole

Lovely spacious cottage with beautiful secure garden for the dogs. Plenty of parking space, easily accommodated our 3 cars. The cottage was very clean and comfortable. We would definitely recommend a stay at Rock cottage.

Rachel

We had a lovely stay at Rock cottage. Shame about the weather but it didn't stop us having the best time. It had everything you needed for a stress free stay with the added bonus of the hot tub. It was so nice to let our dogs roam free in the garden. Jeff the horse would often pop over for a visit, which was lovely. We would definitely stay again and I will be recommending this cottage to my friends.

Sandra

Lovely cosy cottage great for a family break, The rock cottage provided all we needed and the welcome doggy packs was a nice touch.

Kristy

We had a wonderful stay at Rock Cottage, great location and lots to visit nearby. The cottage was clean and tidy and had everything we needed. The hosts were there if needed via the phone which we did due to a local power cut and were really helpful. They were even kind enough to post us an item we left at the cottage. We would highly recommend people visit. We were two families of four with children aged 38

Rachel

Lovely cosy cottage, had all the facilities needed for a comfortable stay. Really enjoyed our evenings by the fire after exploring surrounding areas. Also, this is the best cottage I have visited in terms of welcoming dogs. Towels, bowls, treats, bed, no restrictions other than to keep shedding under control by cleaning. Will recommend to all my friends and family looking for dog friendly holidays.

We had a fabulous time at Rock Cottage celebrating my husbands 60th birthday during our stay! The idyllic cottage is in a lovely quiet village and is very private. The owners were very helpful and quick to reply to any queries we had. The kitchen is well equipped providing all the cooking utensils we required during our stay. We ate at a local pub the Cross Keys twice which I would thoroughly recommend. The drive to Ullswater, Derwent Water and Bowness on Windermere was beautiful even if a bit icy! The hot tub was amazing even though it was 7 degrees! As a family ranging in age from 1 to 60 we had great fun and I would thoroughly recommend a stay at Rock Cottage

Daniel

Enjoyed everything about the cottage, a real cosy place. A couple of things could do with a small upgrade but thats to be expected in an old cottage and adds to the character. Owners very helpful for any needs that we had.

Elayne

A beautifully furnished, cosy cottage property. The cottage kitchen was well equipped with everything our group needed for a selfcatering minibreak. The property is centrally heated throughout. As ours was an autumnal visit it was great to be able to light a log fire in the evening to add to the overall ambience! Great location, with easy access to, amongst other places, Penrith, Lowther Castle and The Lake District by car. Highly recommend.

Michael

Lovely period property with a rustic feel. Travelled with 3 little ones under 3 and 2 German Shepherds but still had plenty of space. Garden was perfect for the dogs and the horses in the field at the end made the toddlers stay. The hot tub was a welcome addition to relax at the end of a tiring day. Would love to return hopefully with some better weather

Charlotte

Lovely Cottage, thank you for everything we had a wonderful time and would def recommend! The only thing I would mention for slight improvement was that could have left more toiletries i.e toilet roll in relation to number of guests staying as we were max capacity guests and we ran out just before we left but other than that all was great & would come again, thank you

Rachel

Rock Cottage was spotlessly clean, everything was fresh and pristine. We were a group of 4 adults and 4 children. It was perfect for our needs. Nice big living room and plenty of space outside. High chair, stair gate and cot were all ready set up for us on arrival. Would definitely stay again.

Loved the house, garden, tub. Felt very relaxed. Exceptionally maintained. Only slightly frustrated all cutlery and crockery not located in kitchen. Many thanks. Will certainly return and recommend.

Satpal

It was a great family stay and very comfortable. 2030 mins to Keswick which was close enough to travel and its just off the M6.

Ullswater Steamers - CA11 0US

This is an award winning Lake District attraction and they have been operating cruisers on Lake Ullswater for over 150 years. There is no better way to explore the lakes than on water and you could even combine a cruise with a spectacular walk. For great days out in this region then this attraction is highly recommended and will appeal to couples as well as families. Corporate groups are also well catered for.

Rydal Mount & Gardens - LA22 9LU

about 17 Miles

Rydal Mount & Gardens are wonderfully situated between Lake Windermere and Rydal Water offering breathtaking scenery. The home of William Wordsworth from 1813 - 1850 the grand home is now lived in by the poets descendents but parts of the house and grounds are open to the public. Why not take a guided tour and see the rooms where many of the famous poems were written. The gardens are beautiful at all times of the year but in the summer offer a spectacular display of colour. There is also a gallery and a tearoom. Discounts are available for group bookings.

Tullie House Museum & Art Gallery - CA3 8TP

about 22 Miles

This is a museum and art gallery in one and will suit those looking for an educational and cultural day out. You can explore the fantastic art collection including Fine Art, Decorative Art and Textiles. If you love nature then this aspect of Tullie House will appeal. The museum holds large and important collections of zoological, botanical and geological material. And for lovers of history there is plenty to wet your appetite here. Tullie House collects a wide range of historic materials including objects, ephemera (printed material), photographs and associated information files. We think this museum and art gallery are excellent value for money as well.

Lake District Wildlife Park - CA12 4RD

about 23 Miles

We love this day out in Cumbria where you're encouraged to "take a fresh look". Some of the amazing animals you will get to see include the only Canadian Lynx in the UK and you will have the opportunity to help their Lynx Conservation Project. The Asian Fishing Cat is also well worth a look - these cats are known for diving under the water and catching fish! Other activities include fantastic flying displays and play areas for the little ones...

Lakeland Wildlife Oasis - LA6 1JH

about 29 Miles

Located in the Milnthorpe area of Cumbria we love this local attraction. With an eclectic mix of fascinating wildlife and hands on displays this centre is educational as well as fun. You can wander around at leisure admiring the exhibits which range from chameleons to computers. Some of the most threatened species are kept at the park as part if international breeding programmes. Check out their website for the latest opening times and admission costs which are great value for money. There are discounts for pre-booked parties of 12 or more.
