Amazing little place
This place is stunning! It’s clean and fresh and so welcoming. The bed is so comfy and makes for an amazing nights sleep after sight seeing. Everything is maintained to such a high standard. I would recommend this place to anyone. There’s also the joys of a hot tub too!

A perfect peaceful retreat!
We had a wonderful stay at Sledbank Cottage. We were greeted with a delicious jam and coconut cake, which went down perfectly with a cuppa after our adventures. It’s a truly peaceful retreat with everything you could possibly need for a relaxing break. The hot tub was a real treat and the cosy fire and beautiful finishes throughout the cottage made it feel extra special.
The cottage is ideally located as a base for exploring the Lake District — we visited Wast Water and Ambleside with ease. Overall, it was the perfect, peaceful stay, and we’re already looking forward to returning again in the near future.

Excellent cosy cottage stay
Everything was lovely & the service was excellent. Our personal preference is to have a softer mattress so the bed was a little hard for us but other than this everything was perfect for a trip to the south west lakes.
Many thanks to everyone involved and a special thank you for the birthday cake - very much appreciated

Gorgeous cottage
We spent a week in this lovely lovely cottage. This was more than a home from home, offering some real luxury from the cosy blankets on the sofa to the slippers and robes in the bathroom. Everything about the design of this cottage has been thought through in detail and has all you could want for a place to relax in whatever the weather. The addition of the hot tub was very welcome after a day of walking in the Lakes - a great way to ease the muscles! The courtyard is a real sun trap too.
There are some lovely walks on the doorstep - Black Combe and the England Coast Path, and numerous walks within a short drive - the Duddon Valley and Wastwater. The nearby Miners Arms, about a 15 min walk away, is a friendly place for a pint or two.
The welcome basket was very welcome indeed - and as for the homemade brownies - wow - worth the stay in themselves!
