"Beside Tarn Hows - accessed by a walking track"  

{JRS nfo} "I never found the cottage. I found these signs and tried this path but eventually turned back"

{Jan Tarrant writes}"Rose Castle cottage is situated on the high land to the east of Tarn Hows."

{Ronald and Sandra Kok write} "This year we looked for Rose Castle Cottage and found it. It is situated on the path which you gave directions for. We followed the whole path and climbed over the footpath fence and followed the foot track. And there it was standing on top of the hill. What a surprise to see a car at the back of the house and a two wheeltrack "highway" which comes from the disabled parking at the road side."
