The road to slack cottage is nothing short of a terrifying adventure. I definitelly woudl ve preferred red-carpet treatment after lugging my bags up all those stairs! If only I had received a complimentary gesture for such an unfortunate experience, I may have almost left a good review-but alas! What a shame.

The food is good and the breakfast was savoury. It has lovely location and free parking if needed. What's more, it's in a beautiful area next to the garden in the evenings as well as the "quiet shore" of Windermere.

What a beautiful cottage! The view of Lake Windermere was amazing, especially in the mornings. Chris and Liz were fantastic hosts, and the homemade breakfast was delicious. Our Beautiful King Room was cozy and impeccably clean. A perfect spot for a peaceful getaway 😍

I loved my stay, especially the amazing view of Lake Windermere from my room-waking up to that was magical! The breakfast was hearty and delicious, with great variety. The only downside was that the stairs felt like quite the workout after a long day exploring.

Such a lovely place with amazing views of the lake! The peaceful garden was a dream spot for relaxation, and I adored the comfy room.
But honestly, hauling my bags up those stairs felt more like a workout than a vacation. A complimentary bellhop would have been good!

As a solo traveler, I really enjoyed the cozy and charming atmosphere of the cottage. the hosts were welcoming and kind, making me feel right at home. the views from my room were stunning, with a beautiful outlook over Windermere to Ambleside and the Fairfield Horseshoe. the location was peaceful and quiet, perfect for some relaxing walks right on the doorstep.
Felt so comfortable, no complaints whatsoever.
