    Slack cottage is the most beautiful home with an absolutely stunning location but even this was surpassed by the kindness and courteous hosts Liz and Chris.

    Negotiating the narrow lanes in the dark and rain was an interesting challenge.

    Excellent breakfast, good shower, comfortable bed. And most of all very friendly and helpful hosts. Remote but superb location near to the Windermere lakeside. Fantastic view from bedroom window across Windermere to the Fairfield Horseshoe (see photo).

    I can honestly say there is nothing I didn’t like about Slack Cottage.

    The cottage is beautiful. Chris and Liz are wonderful hosts, they left a few little extras in our room, hot chocolate, biscuits and some lovely chocolates. Breakfast was beautifully cooked and went down a treat. We had a great view of Lake Windermere. Chris was very knowledgeable about the area and had a lovely conversation with my partner about fishing

    Beautiful 14th century cottage with green fields around. What even more surprising is that there is a private path leading down to the lake side of Windermere! From there you can walk either side to Lakeside or Ambleside. Hosts Liz and Chris are very kind and helpful and did everything they possibly could to make our stay very enjoyable. Thanks Liz and Chris.

    The road to the cottage was quite narrow and curvey. There were only a few places to pull over a little to accommodate an oncoming car. Pretty nervewracking for me.

    Comfy, cozy clean cottage with lots of character in a beautiful location on the edge of a lake. Host and hostess were very kind and helpful. Breakfast was wonderful.

    Nothing at all

    Beautiful cottage with far reaching views across Lake Windermere and the mountains from our bedroom window. A truly outstanding peaceful location. Liz and Chris were perfect hosts and welcomed us into their beautiful home. A great selection of food available for breakfast and the cooked breakfast was amazing quality using local produce. Very comfortable bed and large bathroom, both spotlessly clean. Lots of extras in the room with stocks being replenished each day. We loved our stay so much we have booked a return visit next year. Thank you Liz and Chris 😁
