A lovely little cottage, nestled in the hillside not far from Carsington Water. An easy location to head out for a walk around the water and perfectly located for the Miners Arms which serves great food and has loads of outside space to eat and drink. Plenty of space for 4 people at the cottage. Parking is tight (room for only 1 car) so best ask thRead moree owner for guidance on where to leave other cars during your stay. Lovely views over Carsington Water and fields of sheep. Hide

We had a lovely time at Rowan Cottage and would thoroughly recommend it. There was everything we needed, including dishwasher, laundry and washing-up liquid, also a goody basket with tea bags, coffee pods, biscuits and chocolate! Beds were comfy and bedding/towels were of good quality. We were also blessed with lovely weather. Parking on the narRead morerow road outside the cottage was challenging at times as we have a big car. The only downside for us was the awful journeys we had there and back because of roadworks and heavy traffic! Hide

Cottage is in a beautiful location with gorgeous views . It was spoilt by the lack of attention to cleaning including dirty door mat and kitchen windows, sticky kitchen floor, dusty ornaments and stained duvet on the double bed . There are also maintenance issues that require attention which we have reported including windows that are very harRead mored to open and shut . We did speak to the holiday letting company on arrival and they offered to send cleaners to deep clean I had already cleaned and suggested that they make sure it was all rectified before the next people arrived. With a bit of attention this could be a great place stay . Hide

No Fire Place utensils, windows dirty, (I have images) windows wouldnt open - On entry to the property one of our party slipped over luckily no damage - the path / stairs upto the property were covered in slippery moss so I had to clean the pathway given it was lethal inside the cottage was a warning so disappointingly they knew if the people Read morewho I believe live in London knew about this stuff they would hopefully sort these issues out or stop taking money of people for properties not fit for renting I will be taking this further and a bill for compensation will be coming to yourselves Totally unacceptable Hide
