“Spotless, warm and comfortable, nicely furnished and equipped, a very comprehensive house information pack.”

Location was great and with off street parking which is an essential in a busy town. Prosecco and milk “welcome pack” was a nice touch. Pretty much a perfect home from home and we hope to return.

“Our second stay at Limhus Cottage and we have already booked it again for next year.”

It is ideally situated for visiting the town centre and for many and varied walks from the door.

- Colin, October 2024

Great to welcome you back. Glad you had a good time. Property Owner
Ben September 2024

“Absolutely lovely little cottage on the edge of Keswick meaning we barely used the car all week.”

Had everything we could have asked for. The bed was super comfy and huge, the living room setup was great and our dog loved the huge garden (which is shared with the adjoining house next door). We will be back for sure!

- Ben, September 2024

So glad you had a good time. Hope the weather behaved for you! Property Owner
Pauline September 2024

“We arrived for our stay at Limhus Cottage after a very long and tiring journey, but within 10 minutes or so of arrival, after a good look around, we felt at home, and enjoyed one of the best holidays we have had.”

The cottage was exactly as described on your website, it really was the perfect cottage in the perfect location.

- Pauline, September 2024

Many thanks for your kind words - so glad you had a great time. All the best. Property Owner

Robert August 2024

“Limhus Cottage Review Human beings are so different to each other.”

They differ in expectation quality and tolerance but appear to be similar when it comes to ‘value for money’ Reviews therefore are personal and reflect such opinion. My wife and I read a couple of reviews sent to us with access details by Sykes for Limhus cottage which did not paint a good picture of this accommodation which we followed up with them before departing for the holiday. The owners replied with the words ‘everything will be according to your expectation. We were more than pleasantly surprised with what we found. EVERYTHING PERFECT. We only have one suggestion to make. The mattress is past it sell by date too firm and maybe it should be replaced. The wine and milk greatly appreciated There is no doubt this is quality accommodation. Robert Howarth Aug 24

- Robert, August 2024

Many thanks for your feedback. It’s nice to hear such kind words from a first time guest to Limhus Cottage. All the best. Property Owner

Brian July 2024

“We have been going to Limhus cottage for about fifteen yrs about 20 times.”

and in those years we have slept on the same bed, it is now very uncomfortable as are the two red chairs, and the list of items you have to take is enough to fill a small suite case, etc bin liners hand wash ,washing up liquid and the list goes on for the price I would think a bit more comfort would go a long way, you don't expect to pay top prices and to go shopping for household item as soon as you arrive, disappointed in the new owners

- Brian, July 2024

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback for your stay at Limhus Cottage. We will pick up with the cleaners re the cleaning products etc. They should be there, so please accept our apologies if they weren’t. As regards the bed, it is the same bed as has been in place for your previous visits. Point noted re the chairs - they are a change but you still have the same sofa if they aren’t to your taste . Also, the chairs are recliners, and we wanted to give both guests the view of Skiddaw. We hope to welcome you back to the Lakes again. The Lakelovers Owner Relations Team Property Owner
Sheila June 2024

“We had a great holiday at Limhus Cottage.”

It is the best two person holiday property we have stayed in. The living room is very spacious; full of light with several windows giving views of the garden and Skiddaw so even if the weather prevents outside activities,the feeling of being outside can still be enjoyed. The cottage could with a little attention outside of routine cleaning but this concerns minor issues With regards to an earlier review, we found the two armchairs were comfortable enough and that there was also a settee still in place, perhaps the photo should be changed to avoid any confusions

- Sheila, June 2024

Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay. All the best Property Owner
David June 2024

“Shower hose and head need replacing.”

We found bed and sofa/seats very uncomfortable. The bed was too firm for us and bedding was clean but marked. There was also quite a strong smell of dog. This was a shame as it is a lovely property with good outside space and parking. It could have great potential but looked like it was furnished partly from a house clearance sale and partly from Ikea's cheapest range.

- David, June 2024

Thank you for your feedback. We do find that beds and mattress are down to personal preference. We take all comments on board. The Lakelovers Owner Relations Team Property Owner
Lesley May 2024

“This was our third stay in Limhus Cottage during the past two years.”

The location, garden and views offered across to the fells are all top class. However, on this occasion the standard of cleanliness has been extremely disappointing. The main areas of the property that are on show were all okay, but closer inspection reveals that the thoroughness of the cleaning between guest occupancy that should be expected is not being carried out. My major areas of concern were: Shower enclosure - it would appear that this has not been correctly cleaned for some considerable period of time. Black mould and debris are visible around the door frame and seals, the gab handles, and indeed the suppled cleaning blade for drying off the shower walls and screen. The reverse of one of grab handles was completely black with mould. I cleaned this myself as best I could. Additionally, the shower door is no longer water-tight and leaks out onto the bathroom floor. Dust - the bottom half of the bathroom heated towel rail was covered with dust. I cleaned this myself. Other areas that haven’t seen a duster for a while are the flat surface behind the TV, and the tops of skirting boards, especially those in the bedroom and bathroom. Dirt - the bathroom vanity unit shelves were stained, and the wardrobe floor was covered with what appeared to be flakes of dry paint. I cleaned the vanity unit and vacuumed inside the wardrobe. All of this would suggest that either the terms of reference that the property owners have with the current cleaning company needs some revision, or the work is not being performed as contracted and therefore needs to be subject to closer control. Lastly, a suggestion. As the house next door is now also being let, a voile or venetian blind fitted to the bedroom window would offer a degree of privacy, rather than needing to keep the curtains closed. Please view these comments as being constructive and hopefully they can inform the necessary remedial actions that need to be taken, because the property really is a lovely place to stay.

- Lesley, May 2024

Thank you for taking the time to send through your feedback on the cottage - we do appreciate it. Please accept our apologies that the property wasn't to the required standard. We have picked this up with the cleaners and this will be rectified going forward. Also, apologies it has taken so long to respond to your constructive comments and suggestions. We hope you we can welcome you back to Limhus Cottage soon. All the best. Property Owner
Denise May 2024

“Excellent facilities.”

Brilliant location. Keswick centre 5 mins walk and ideally situated for exploring the lakes. Stunning views from the back windows/doors. Had to be careful with the dog due to light coloured carpets. Nice garden and nice people staying next door. Nothing negative can be said.

- Denise, May 2024

Thank you very much for your lovely feedback. We hope to welcome you back to Limhus Cottage soon. Property Owner
David April 2024

“We have stayed at limbus cottage twice now.”

And we have already booked again for next year. However we did feel that the cottage was looking and feeling a bit tired and not overly clean. Also the seating in the front room had changed from a sofa and arm chair to a broken arm chair and 2 very un comfy wooden rocking chair style chairs.

- David, April 2024

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay, and have already booked a return visit. We take all comments on board. Thank you The Lakelovers Owner Relations Team Property Owner
Sheila April 2024

“Lovely cottage and the views both front and back were wonderful.”

The garden was perfect for pets. I would even live there permanently, given half a chance. The property was just on the edge of Keswick and only 5 or 10 minutes walk into the Centre which was perfect. Plenty of pubs and restaurants within walking distance where everyone was friendly and the food delicious. Also, spoilt for choice of where to go on days out. Would definitely stay again and recommend it.

- Sheila, April 2024

Thanks so much for your lovely feedback. Hope you can get to Keswick again soon. Property Owner
Sarah March 2024

“A lovely convenient place to stay.”

Great views from the house, with a comfy chair and foot rest I could enjoy the view with a good book after a long walk. Plenty of walks from the house or there's a bus stop right outside which we used several times as well as the launches. Easy walk into town or to Booths to stock up too

- Sarah, March 2024
Vicki February 2024

“We had a lovely stay here.”

The views from the lounge and back garden are some of the best I’ve had staying in and around the Keswick area for many years. The accommodation is cosy and warm and the gas log burner is a lovely touch. We were fortunate to have snow during our stay but had no problem warming up when returning from walks. The only small drawback was the very early 9am check out time which was a shame for our last night’s stay. We were aware so worked around this but the lack of flexibility was disappointing and just a bit of a shame after such a wonderful stay.

- Vicki, February 2024

Thank you so much for your feedback and we are glad you had a good stay at Limhus Cottage. Point taken re the check-out time and we will look at this to see if there is anything we can do. Thanks again. Property Owner
Julie February 2024

“Lovely cottage in an ideal position.”

Easy walking into Keswick centre, some good walks and pubs with good food within easy reach. The cottage was cosy, comfortable and spotlessly clean. Perfect for the dog too having a good enclosed garden.

- Julie, February 2024

Thank you for your kind comments. Really glad you had a good stay. All the best. Property Owner

Ian December 2023

“Simply perfect cottage in an excellent location for Keswick.”

The cottage was spotlessly clean, comfortable and nothing had been overlooked, and the Christmas tree was just the finishing touch. The garden was large, safe and secure for our dog. The cottage is an absolute credit to its owners. We loved it so much that we’ve already booked again for next year.

- Ian, December 2023

Thank you for your lovely comments. So glad you had a good time. Look forward to welcoming you back next year. Property Owner

Christina September 2023

“Just returned from a lovely holiday at Limhus cottage.”

The property has a was well equipped kitchen, it was clean, and after a busy day walking the chairs and bed were very comfortable. It was nice there was a secure garden outside for our dog with lots of grass. Plenty of parking outside the cottage. The property is easy walking distance to Keswick town center and Fitz park. There is a lovely river walk through the park which was beautiful.We liked it that much we have already booked to go again.

- Christina, September 2023

So glad you had a good time. That walk through Fitz Park is lovely. Must be one of the most picturesque cricket grounds in the country! We look forward to welcoming you again, and thanks for your lovely comments. Property Owner

Christine July 2023

“Lovely place for a couple.”

Plenty of space. Comfortable. Great view of the fells from the lounge area. Good to have a parking space although good location to do lots on foot without moving the car. Didn't get to use the patio area due to the weather but good to have it if the sun shines! Only gripe would be is that the 9am checkout is a bit severe - 10am would be better!

Edward August 2022

“Lovely cottage with a massive garden which our Border Collie loved (lots of ball throwing!”

). Ideal location 10 min walk to centre of Keswick. Keswick was incredibly busy due to it being August Bank Holiday start of our week so you really need to book places to eat etc. Pheasant Inn round the corner and Chinese take away down the road (both 10 min walk) both excellent food. Recommend old railway track walk to Thelkeld about 4 miles and walk around Derwentwater which is 10+ miles. Excellent Holiday in which we walked nearly 70 miles with our dog!

- Edward, August 2022

Katheryn May 2022

“So much bigger than it looks in the photographs.”

Great location close to town centre. Couldn’t get normal channels on TV, only Netflix. Not sure if this was due to fire? Would def stay again.

- Katheryn, May 2022
Nick December 2021

“Really liked the place, however wasnt aware that the adjoining property was burnt out until arrival, but it meant it was quiet.”

Although the broken glass from the windows kept blowing out and smashing on the paving behind the house and my dog did subsequently cut his paw on a shard of glass. The bungalow was very clean apart from the shower which had quite a bit of black mould growing in it, which I scrubbed most off. Also the Henry hoover smelled quite badly of dog hair, not my own dog I hasten to add, which is a short haired pointer and seldom ever smells! I discovered the bag in the hoover was pretty full of dog hair already! When using the hoover there was rather a lot of long beige hair gathering on the hoover head so the carpet was pretty covered with someone else's dog hair! I also brought throws and bedspread to cover everything for my own dog. Last note was that the bed was extremely hard, only tolerable with adding all the spare blankets and a duvet under the sheet. A foam topper would be a good idea.

- Nick, December 2021
Colin November 2021

“A great find.”

Holidaying in the Lakes for many years one of the best we have stayed in due to location and comfort. Great view of hills from the rear and parking a must for Keswick. Would stay again in the future.

- Colin, November 2021
John November 2021

“Excellent accommodation n facilities.”

Only problem we had was with telephone signal which was highlighted in the Owners notes. Will definitely be returning in the future.

- John, November 2021
John November 2021

“We have been visiting the Lakes by staying in cottages for over 40 years.”

This is our first time at Limhus Cottage and we can confidently say it is one of the best properties we have visited for comfort, location, facilities and cleanliness. It is ideal for a couple with large rooms which you cannot appreciate from the on-line pictures. The covered storage area for bikes is so secure and close to the driveway. The garden is splendid with magnificent views of Skiddaw. We cannot wait to return.

- John, November 2021
Joanne October 2021

“Was unsure on approach to the property but once you go through the door what a absolutely fantastic little cottage it's like a little tardis well equipped with all you would need the apples on tree were lovely too and the views exceptional, close to town and close to walking routes too, first time in keswick and would definitely return.”

- Pamela, July 2021
Lisette July 2021

“The photos don't do this cottage justice.”

Really spacious and the kitchen is full of all the equipment you need and usually end up having to bring or buy, true self catering. Blissfully quiet back garden with incredible view of the mountains. Pstio doors mean you can enjoy this from the inside too on wet weather days. 5 mins walk into the town in one direction, 5 mins to walks and rivers in the other. Perfect base, could not have been better.

- Lisette, July 2021
C June 2021

“The property was very spacious, well appointed and equipt with everything you would need.”

It's location was ideal to explore the countryside both near and further far. Keswick was easily accessible on foot along the roadway or along the river running through parkland. A great holiday.

Kirsten May 2021

“Perfect location, great little cottage.”

Lots of gorgeous walks on the doorstep. Very convenient to get into Keswick centre. We loved the security of it as we could trust our bikes and SUP were safe in the locked outdoor area. Kitchen facilities were great. Wonderful view from the garden. Dog friendly! We hope to be back.

- Kirsten, May 2021
Ghulam May 2021

“It was a wonderful break, the cottage was exceptionally well looked after with all the facilities that anyone would need.”

Having never been self catering for years we took our own tea towels,washing up liquid, tea and coffee, but they were all suplied. A most pleasant surprise was the bottle of wine and nice biscuits. We would definitely recommend Limhus cottage for a holiday
