A lovely cottage tucked away from the world on the edge of the Peak District.. Definitely a get away from it all place. Cottage was cozy with beautiful wood burning fire.

What a glorious place to spend a few days, with great walks on the doorstep and amazing views from the hillsides.. Gill's shortbread is probably the best we have ever tasted, and in changeable weather we felt comfortable and cosy and well insulated from the elements at Golden Slack Cottage. The pubs in this area are terrific too, with unusually good food at The Ship, the Rose and Crown, and Sutton Hall, not to mention a wider range of well-kept real ales. The whole area deserves to be better known, as it has so much to offer for visitors, especially walkers.

Ms Willder, September 2019

We really enjoyed our break in this homely, comfortable cottage, with its amazing views.. The owner was very friendly and helpful and had thought of everything that was needed. Would thoroughly recommend Golden Slack cottage.

We had a wonderful stay at golden slack cottage,a beautiful little home away from home with incredible views.. Plenty to do in the area to keep busy, walks on the doorstep but nice enough to spend the whole weekend relaxing in the cottage or on the garden watching the sheep! Highly recommended.

Miss Noble, August 2019

Such a cosy cottage and a beautiful location.. Very well equipped cottage. There was only one thing missing - a pair of marigolds! The weather was pretty bad but there are many places to visit in the area so it didn't matter. Little Morton Hall is not to be missed! On the rain free day we enjoyed walking in Macclesfield Forest and sampling good food in local pubs. Our landlady was very helpful and welcoming - there were even home made biscuits waiting for us. During our stay we were lucky to attend a concert at Gawsworth Hall with the Foden Brass Band and our favorite singer - Matthew Ford ( fresh from the Albert Hall proms).

We have had a lovely stay at the golden slack cottage.. It’s a wonderful sited house with a stunning view. The owner is kind and helpfull. With a stay at this house you will be able to make lovely walks as well visiting beautifull places like buxton and leek. The house is well equiped with almost everything. Little notice: the cealing in the kitchen, bathroom groundfloor and bedroom groundfloor are beteren 1m80 and 2m high.

Mr Van Hest, July 2019

Gill as a host was so accommodating and friendly.. The cottage was super cosy, extremely clean and was surrounded by beautiful views. Perfect place to escape the city life and have a group of friends around the fire. Definitely will be returning :)

Magnificent views from this gorgeous cottage.. Comfortable and well equipped ... Gill seems to have thought of everything and so welcoming

Mrs Dexter, June 2019

The cottage is lovely, quaint and had everything we needed.. The bonus was the views and awesome walks from the doorstep. Great location for a refreshing break away.

Wonderful cottage .. Access to some lovely walks. Gill was a perfect host . Enjoyed seeing her lambs - great wake up calls . Hope to return

An unexpectedly warm Easter enabled us to enjoy the glorious views from the sunny terrace of this character cottage.. Gill was a wonderful host who has fitted out the house to a very high standard and the kitchen was particularly well equipped to cook for the full cottage occupancy, although we took Gill up on her recommendation of a number of great country pubs also. The superb views and general quiet enabled us all to escape from the hustle and bustle for a while (although Macclesfield is only a short drive for food shopping, railway station etc) and seeing some lambs born was a bonus! Some great walks direct from the cottage and lots more within a short drive. We had a really wonderful week and would thoroughly recommend the cottage. Thanks Gill!

Gill the owner is an exceptional person - friendly, helpful and very approachable.. Her sense of cleanliness is 7 star! She makes the accomodation very much a home, everything is carefully thought of - underfloor heating.and well stocked kitchen. So thoughtful to have home made biscuits and milk in the fridge on arrival. Golden Slack Cottage is now the benchmark for me in future holiday accomodation. Kim

Ms Tor, March 2019

A beautiful little barn conversion cottage set in an amazing location with gorgeous views of the countryside. Well set out with all the necessities. I would highly recommend this lovely accommodation.

Mr Frank, March 2019

Lovely cottage, very cosy and well equipped, the homemade shortbread was a nice touch.. The owner is hospitable and helpful. Great location to explore the Prak District. There are great views from the cottage and a walking path accessed from the back of the cottage.

Miss Middlemiss, February 2019

Lovely setting, found it very comfortable.. Good location for getting out and about although you need to be alert to find it - just look out for the radio mast opposite! We hope to come back next year

Mr Robinson, September 2018

May 2018

A stunning location, totally rural yet easy access to main transport networks.. Very tastefully decorated cottage, extremely well equipped with gorgeous views from the windows and terrace. A very warm welcome from the owner but not at all intrusive given the cottage is on her farm. I stayed three nights for a family wedding nearby, the downstairs bedroom and shower plus two upstairs bedrooms and bathroom gave the flexibility I needed for a mixed age family. Icing on the cake- the flock of sheep with the new spring lambs right outside the front door.

Mrs Start, May 2018

April 2018

We used Golden Slack cottage as a meeting place for old pals from the north and the south of the country.. The fact that it is just 15 minutes from a main line station, whilst also being in a glorious and very wild location was very advantageous to us. Gill, the owner, was marvellous and our two visits to the lambing barn were highlights of the trip. We were snug, warm and had a good kitchen to cook in, but there are also excellent eating places within 5 minutes drive.......and I have not even mentioned Peak District which was bursting with early spring life. We would definitely recommend it.

Miss Reed, April 2018

February 2018

A lovely cottage in a beautiful area.. Gill was most welcoming, her shortbread are delicious, and she was very flexible throughout our stay. The kitchen is one of the best equipped on a holiday cottage Ive ever seen.

Mrs Glodkowski, February 2018

December 2017

We needed a cottage that would cater for all members of the family to enjoy Christmas together and have a ground floor bathroom.. Golden Slack cottage ticked all the boxes. It was bright and attractively decorated, everyone loved the underfloor heating and the wood burner stove. The open plan ground floor meant that everyone was together and no-one felt shut away in the kitchen preparing Christmas dinner. I was particularly impressed with the thought that had gone into providing all the little home-from-home extras like torches in the bedrooms, night lights on the landings, books, games and welcome pack of tea, coffee, milk and homemade shortbread. Finally I would like to thank Gill for her very warm welcome and hope to visit again at some point in the future as the Christmas break went far too quickly.

The cottage was totally suitable for us four Ancient P's ( ref Great Expectations).. Location and views excellent. The owner could not have been more friendly,helpful and welcoming.

Mr Oakes, August 2017

Excellent location, it takes 40 minutes from Manchester Airport but it has completely Peak District surrounded beautiful green scenery.. Showers splash a little weak, but water quality is amazingly good.

Great place to go for a great uk holiday.. Lots to do for an active holiday and many lovely places to visit and go to eat.

Mrs Brocksom, August 2016

July 2016

The owner of the cottage, on whose farm the cottage is located, was very friendly and helpful.. The cottage is well-equipped and has spectacular views and is located very close to the Gritstone Trail which meant we could find good walking without using the car. Unfortunately, we had some poor (cold, wet and windy) weather and , on most evenings, we were not able, comfortably, to take advantage of sitting on the terrace enjoying the wonderful views and sunsets. Because of this we were aware and rather disappointed that the views could not be fully appreciated from inside the cottage - i.e. no patio doors or picture windows (possibly to preserve heat in the winter?)

Liked everything! We had a very warm welcome from the owner, and we loved the cottage which had everything we needed. It had fantastic views and a really relaxing atmosphere. Ideally located for visiting Cheshire and Derbyshire so there was no shortage of things to do and places to go. Definitely hope to go back.

Mr Lockeretz

The location and the views at Golden Slack Cottage were amazing. The owner, who lives on the farm, was fabulous, very welcoming, friendly and helpful. The cottage was excellent - beautifully done up, well maintained, and well equipped with everything we could possibly want. Loved the log burner! It really is a superb cottage and we hope to return.

Golden Stack Cottage was in a great location with fantastic views from the property. The owner on site was informative and friendly. We loved seeing the newborn lambs. There was lots to do in the area and great pubs!

Ms Clark

A beautiful barn conversion on a farm with fantastic views down on to the Cheshire Plain. It is very well equipped and warm and cosy whatever the weather. It is a great location for walking in the Peak District with many walks from the front door. It is also close to amenities in Cheshire so there is variety to keep all of the family amused. We really enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to recommend.
