We have stayed in the Lake District many times + have never found the perfect cottage... Until now! We absolutely loved Slater Bob's - The location and the views are stunning & the house itself is so comfortable, cosy & has everything you could need. We enjoyed lots of walks straight from the door & we loved sitting in the hot tub afterwards watching the light on the surrounding fells. We even went for our very first 'wild dip' in the river! Our dog also loved the big garden & swimming the river. We will definitely be back - nothing else is going to beat this!

Had an amazing stay, what a great cottage which felt like home of home. Short of nothing. We stayed here as our daughter got married here, other members of our family stayed at the top cottages . What a wonderful place with beautiful views and we were lucky with the weather. Glorious sunshine. I do think we could stay here no matter what time of year, as have had the most wonderful time and we will definitely recommend.

What an amazing cottage, and a fantastic location! We have had a brilliant week at Slater Bob's, lots of great runs and walks from the doorstep with the added bonus of a wonderful hot tub at the end of the day. The dogs loved the enclosed garden, it's properly secure too. You can relax knowing they are safe. We've been blessed with good weather all week so really made the most of this fantastic spot. We've already booked for next year!! Only problem is, all the clocks in the house seemed to be faulty - as the time whizzed too fast here!

Thank you for a fantastic stay at Slater Bob's. The cottage was really well equipped with thoughtful touches like all the walking guide books. During our stay, we had a nice cosy walk around Tarn Hows, kayaked on Coniston Water, had a Michelin star dinner at The Forest Side Hotel (Grasmere) and, of course, made use of the hot tub when the sun decided to show up! Absolutely would recommend.

We saw rain, rain clouds, more clouds and fog and mist but my word.... Slater Bob's is heavenly. We have been warm and felt safe and this is the most happy cottage. Thank you for sharing your lovely home. Hopefully we'll be back some time for a bit of blue sky, or not - I'm not sure it would matter!

We love Slater Bob's Cottage and it feels like a home from home. We hope to return there at some point in the future, but due to the rising cost of living it probably wont be until next year.

We have never visited the Lakes before and have been looking forward to it for a while. All I can say is wow! The cottage is beautiful, location amazing. The perfect place to unwind and soak up the views (especially in the hot tub after a day's walking). Such a homely, welcoming feel in the cottage, 4 nights was not enough, I think we could stay here forever! Thank you so much. We will be back.

What an amazing stay we have had at Slater Bob's! Such an incredible spot. Coniston, in particular The Coppermines, holds a special place in our hearts and we were beyond excited to bring our baby daughter for the first time. We couldn't have asked for a nicer place to stay, so homely and cosy, especially after a huge snowfall. We can't wait to come back. Thank you Slater Bob's!

Thank you once again for providing the accommodation for another amazing holiday! Our experience was made with the help of Slater Bob's rustic and homely feel and the hot tub was definitely a bonus. With The Old Man on our doorstep it would have been stupid not to attempt it, so we did. Our leg muscles will thank us eventually! The Lake District in December has been a cold but magical experience to lead us up to Christmas. Looking forward to coming back again next year.

What a gem! We have loved every second of staying here. The cottage is so cosy, well equipped and clean. From stunning views to beautiful walks. The weather has been the best we have ever had in the Lakes which gave us us the opportunity to get plenty of long hikes in, and to return after many miles of hillwalking and jump in the hot tub - just perfect! A week just wasn't long enough, we have fallen in love with Slater Bob's and will most definitely be back. Thank you so much to the Coppermines team and the wonderful cleaners for making this holiday just perfect.

Our second visit to Slater Bob's didn't disappoint. Everything was beautifully prepared when we arrived with everything laid on that we needed, even a smashing new oven. Brilliant scenery, great walks and amazing weather too. Hope it's not our last visit to Slater Bob's. Thanks to the folks of Coppermines for making it so special, we hope the next guests enjoy it as much as we did.

We have had a great week at Slater Bob's! The house is great - you can tell it is a loved house - with lots of useful facilities. Very comfortable beds and excellent water pressure! We really enjoyed the hot tub, although it has at times been too hot weather to enjoy it! The location is perfect - the views from the sun room in the evenings have been idyllic. Our daughter enjoyed paddling in the river and made it up the Old Man. Great base for walking, cycling and kayaking (once you make it down the hill). Thanks for sharing it with us.

We have had a fantastic week in the Lakes which was made even better by our lovely base. Slater Bob's is so well equipped, there is everything you need and more. A real home from home. The enclosed garden is lovely and our children to play out safely. We spotted some lovely birds here whilst resting our tired muscles in the very luxurious hot tub! There is an abundance of walks on the doorstep which was great. The beds are very comfortable and we have all slept well. In every corner of the house there is something of interest to see. Our youngest son says his favourite room is the reading room with great views. Our eldest says the living room is his favourite as it is cosy! We hope to come again as it is perfect for our family.

This cottage is in an excellent location, with a great outlook. The cottage itself is lovely with a very homely feel. The facilities are excellent and we particularly liked the lovely mugs and place mats and well equipped kitchen with good quality sharp knives. Beds are very comfortable again with good quality bed linen. The walking directly from the cottage is excellent.

Great walks from the back door. Great views from the front door. Fabulous cottage, all you need. Love the copper fairy lights! The hot tub is fab for the after walk recovery. We have had the most amazing weather. Walking in a heat wave posed lots of challenges but the cooled water and ice dispenser fridge really helped! The co-op has most things you have forgotten or need. We hope to come back.

What a wonderful cottage - the position is quite incredible! We have had a super week - walked to Swirl How, Old Man, around the lakeshore to Hawkshead and along the footpath towards Elterwater. Can recommend the food, service and beer at the Black Bull Inn. As for the hot tub - there could not be a more perfect end to the day than sitting in it with that awesome view. Thank you!

We now have a favourite cottage/holiday. What a place! We've been to a few Coppermines Cottages and even stayed in the valley before but there's nothing else like this place. Where else can you sit in a hot tub with a view like that?! If you ever sell this place (why would you?!) we'll join the mile long list of people who would take it please! :) (dependant on a lottery win...). Already looking at dates to be back! Thank you for a very special holiday with out new baby. We'll remember this week forever.

We've used Coppermines Cottages for a good few years and have always enjoyed their properties, but Slater Bob's is something else. From the welcoming pack to the hot tub, everything we needed was right there. We've already looked to see if we can book Slater Bob's for later in the year and if the car can make it up the bank we'll be back. A long weekend without a drop of rain is really a first for us, our new puppy will think the Lakes are always like this, warm and sunny, I think he's in for a shock on later visits. Hoping to return soon. Thank you all at Coppermines. xxx

Slater Bob's is a great cottage in a fantastic mountain location, with proper fell walks literally from the door. We managed to book by pure luck at the last minute! It is extremely well equipped and comfortable and, in a rare heat wave for the Lakes in September, the ice-maker was as welcome as the fantastic hot tub! It was also spotlessly clean throughout on our arrival. Just one thing to be aware of, it's amazing location entails a drive up a rough track. Not a problem in most cars if you drive appropriately, but you wouldn't want to do it in a low profile car.

We arrived on a Friday all the way from Svalbard, Norway to attend the wedding of our friends. We are stunned by the amazing landscape in the area and we wish we had more time to explore the surroundings. The cottage was fabulous, with everything we needed to make our stay comfortable, we really lived the hot tub.

Great cottage, fantastic location and very well-equipped. We were very lucky to have been able to book this cottage. The travel instructions and overall web interaction were spot on and by far the best of any holiday rental cottage company I have used (of which there are many). It's such a great location that cooking and dining there were a real pleasure. We would rate this cottage as excellent and will definitely be returning.
