“We have had an amazing week could not wait to book back everything was perfect ...”

We have had an amazing week could not wait to book back everything was perfect big garden for the dog lovely views everywhere you turn and the cottage itself was perfect

Audrey September 2024

“The cottage sits in a quiet location but within easy reach of the lakes.”

We enjoyed our stay and found the property spotless. Nice large garden a hot tub would have been nice instead of the sauna .Good pubs in the locality excellent food.Would definitely return

“Second visit,really great location,lovely amenaties book twice more for 2025.”

- Philip, September 2024
Heather August 2024

“Property was lovely but a few things we thought it needed to make things more comfortable: Velux window in living room was broken, which also meant at one point we needed to climb onto kitchen top to close and the tops of the kitchen cupboards were really dirty and covered in dead flies.”

Crockery and cups wise there wasn’t enough for 5 of us when using the dishwasher to clean them. Some of the pans needed renewing as the Teflon coating had been scraped off with the metal utensils. A silicone spatula and plastic utensils would have been really good to make sure the pans aren’t ruined. I just want to reinforce that we really had a great time, these were just the few niggles we had whilst staying that would make things more comfortable for guests.

- Heather, August 2024
Alan August 2024

“Stunning property in just the best location to explore the beauty of the lakes.”

Perfect enclosed garden for the dogs , and we loved our daily visitors the Alpacas and sheep! Newly opened local pub a must visit too. Thank you for the best week

- Alan, August 2024
Linda June 2024

“Limestones is my happy place.”

I would retire here. The bungalow is beautiful and clean and the enclosed garden for the dogs is a delight, they love it here. Love the daily visits from the Alpacas and sheep. The overall experience is one of luxury in idyllic surroundings. The owner is the most helpful, compassionate person who goes above and beyond to ensure an excellent stay. I will definitely be back to my happy place as soon as I can. Thanks M ♡ from the Houstons x

Iain June 2024

“A fantastic well equipped property in a great location for exploring the South Lakes and those places a little of the beaten track.”

However, due to the hot weather we found the property a little too hot inside. Although there were blinds at the bedroom windows, curtains would help to keep the light out in a morning. Overall a fantastic property and would fefinitely recommend it and would have no hesitation to go back again

- Iain, June 2024
Gayle June 2024

“Absolutely fabulous place.”

Bedrooms huge and very comfortable. Alpacas so lovely to see every day as the only neighbours. Fence to alpaca field could ve better as our smaller dogs could get through it. Lounge/kitchen can become very hot as no blinds on bi-foldimg doors but just minor in comparison. Just peaceful and relaxing. Garden beautiful (although automatic lawnmoor is out 23 hours a day which is rather annoying as cant enjoy the lawn as much) sauna and cold dip available for those who want it. Spotlessly clean and would highly recommend.

- Gayle, June 2024
Dawn May 2024

“We loved this cottage so much last year that we booked for this year.”

A super cottage with an extensive garden and alpacas in the next field!! What more can you want? Totally dog friendly too.

- Dawn, May 2024
Andrew May 2024

“Another great stay at Limestones.”

The accommodation (location, quality and cleanliness) and enclosed garden takes some beating. The dogs especially loved the garden. I still think blinds to the living/dining/kitchen area would be advantageous as the sun was so bright on occasions. Sad to hear of the loss of an alpaca since we stayed last year. Thank you for a fabulous week. We’ll be back again for sure.

- Andrew, May 2024
Jean May 2024

“We enjoyed our stay at Limestone again.”

Brilliant facilities. Sooty, our dog loved playing in the small field, without having to be on his lead. Nice to see the sheep and alpacas again. We had a lovely boat trip on Lake Windermere.

- Jean, May 2024
Louise April 2024

“We had a fantastic holiday, we loved it that much we’ve booked for next June ...”

We had a fantastic holiday, we loved it that much we’ve booked for next June can’t wait, dogs loved the outdoors space, and the friends haha, loved the Scottish cows over the road, absolutely beautiful and peaceful, Ulverston was a lovely place to eat and drink, very busy little town, locals lovely and friendly, property had everything we needed

- Louise, April 2024
Emma April 2024

“We enjoyed our short stay at the Limestones.”

The accommodation had everything we needed. The location was idyllic and the alpacas and sheep were very sociable and gave entertainment to our dog! The only small suggestion we would make would be to include a hot tub, as the quiet location would make a perfect evening to relax after a busy day. Just a flag for the directions, once you have turned off Church Road, keep going along the lane until you meet the fork and then verge right.

- Emma, April 2024
Leanne March 2024

“What can I say?”

Limestones, great location, fabulous decor and facilities. Very clean and comfortable, a real home from home. Pippa, Gus and Skylar really loved their time here and I would definitely recommend this property. My only comments would be, the cooker hood was unbelievably noisy, which did spook Gus and the gaps in the gate at the far end of the paddock did not stop our little terrier from investigating the alpaca and sheep’s field! Thankfully Skylar has great recall and so we were able to keep an eye her and stop her from revisiting

- Leanne, March 2024
Christopher March 2024

“Beautiful place in a beautiful location.”

Some niggles: garden was enclosed but not dog secure. (our dog stepped over the fence at the end of the garden into the Alpaca field); a page is missing from the directions to the property (though the post code takes you to the door); some wooden spoons would be useful for cooking.

- Christopher, March 2024
Carole February 2024

“Fantastic high standard property- one of the best self catering cottages we have stayed in.”

All features of the cottage were exceptional, spacious, warm, light, large patio and garden area- very impressive

- Carole, February 2024
Gavin February 2024

“Lovely property.”

The pictures don't do it justice. The directions appear to be missing the last page

- Gavin, February 2024
Geoff February 2024

“We had a lovely stay at Limestones.”

The February weather was mixed, so it was nice to go back and relax in the comfort and warmth of Limestones. Our little yorkie fell in love with the alpacas going down to the gate each morning to greet them. Lots of nice memories

- Geoff, February 2024
Philip January 2024

“Shame,the wi-fi was not working,the cottage itself was fantastic.”

Took a short while to find the cutlery drawer,but the cottage was in a marvellous location and very cosy.

- Philip, January 2024
Clare November 2023

“Superb!! Couldn’t fault anything - such a lovely property, facilities and super comfy beds”

! Stunning location and of course the friendly Alpacas! Will definitely be booking again - thank you

- Clare, November 2023
Ian November 2023

“What a very special property, beautifully equipped and complete with Alpaccas and swiss sheep !”

. The location provides easy access into the Lakes, with the town of Ulverston with all of the facilities and food offerings you will need only minutes away. Thoroughly enjoyed our three night mid week break

- Ian, November 2023
Mandy November 2023

“This was our 2nd visit to Limestones and it felt great to be back.”

We went with our 2 sons, daughter in law and granddaughter and 2 dogs. We all love being there together and there was the added bonus this time of feeding the Alpacas which our granddaughter loved. Limestones is stunning with plenty of space and facilities for us all. The outside space is fabulous and the sauna and plunge pool amazing! Lots to do if heading out and plenty of shops nearby. We cannot wait to come back!

- Mandy, November 2023
Emma October 2023

“What a lovely week we've just had !”

Limestones is a fantastic property with everything you could need and feels away from it all. Easy access by car or by foot to some lovely walks in the lakes. We weren't expecting it to be as good as it was as the outdoor space is not shown on the listing so we had that added surprise on arrival. Nice food as well at the Farmers in Baycliff and General Burgoyne. Thank you to Limestones for a fantastic holiday.

- Emma, October 2023
Sandra September 2023

“Fabulous cottage very clean and comfortable would definitely recommend it to anyone, one of the best places I’ve stayed.”

- Sandra, September 2023
Neal September 2023

“Such a great place to stay.”

Comfortable and well equipped. Lovely garden and outlook. Highly recommend.

- Neal, September 2023
Jeremy August 2023

“On a whole this holiday home impressed on arrival, especially being greeted by Alpacas and the 2 Sheep.”

For the price I would have expected a very high standard, which was let down by the flimsy wardrobe that seems to be slowly falling apart in small double room . My teenage daughter had an uncomfortable single bed so we turned mattress over only to discover a previous guest had an accident at some point. Mattresses ideally needs replacing. The location was lovely, very quiet and peaceful would highly recommend! Tho alot of driving is required if you are planning to see all the lakes. Little tip don't leave bathroom light on with windows open .....we experienced every bug from the Tarn sleeping with us ! Thankyou limestones for a a enjoyable week

- Jeremy, August 2023
Andy August 2023

“One word for this property- awesome!”

We’ve stayed in many Sykes cottages and this one is by far the best. Lovely modern accommodation, lovely location with beautiful views and the added bonus of a daily visit from the sheep and Alpacas next door. We had 3 generations of the family staying and we all thought it was fantastic.

- Andy, August 2023
Linda July 2023

“Limestones certainly has the WAW factor.”

I cannot rate this place high enough. The huge enclosed garden was a nice surprise, the dogs loved it, especially intrigued by the lawnmower! The lamas came to say hello which was nice (although the dogs had something to say each time). Such a wonderful relaxing holiday (pitty about the weather which stopped us exploring) but was happy just to relax in comfort. Will definitely come back.

- Linda, July 2023
Karina July 2023

“Limestones in great urswick was perfect.”

There was nothing that wasn't thought of. The house was beautiful and clean. The garden was big enough for a large family. Bbq and sauna/plunge pool was a lovely extra. Will definitely be returning at some point. The alpacas and sheep on the neighbouring field was a lovely sight first thing in the morning. Fantastic stay one that even the rain couldn't ruin.

- Karina, July 2023
Dawn July 2023

“A modern property superbly appointed.”

It is in a beautiful spot with a super garden. The alpacas are a bonus!!! We would love to stay again and so would our dogs. As a semi ambulant disabled person it was just right but a wheelchair user would have difficulty with entrance over the folding door and window frames.

- Dawn, July 2023
Salvatore June 2023

“The best holiday accommodation we have ever been too!”

The smell of fresh linen hit you as soon as you entered the property and everything was spotless. The dog loved the large garden and made good friends with the sheep. Just the place to unwind as the surroundings were so peaceful with stunning views. We will definitely return.

- Salvatore, June 2023
Pauline May 2023

“Limestones is a beautiful place.”

Very comfortable. Aura the dog loved the Paddock and the Alpacas and sheep. Edward the owner kindly brought some food and my Grandson really loved feeding the animals. Had a fabulous time. Weather was brilliant. Aplacexwell worth a stay

- Pauline, May 2023
Andrew May 2023

“This was one of if not the nicest properties we have ever stayed in, however, there were a few minor niggles.”

Blinds in the lounge/kitchen/dining area would be a valuable addition. We were blessed with some fantastic weather and keeping the property closed up all day while out made this area very hot to come back to, and not great for the dogs trying to sleep with extra light early in the morning. There was no ability to open the velux windows either which would have helped airflow throughout the property considerably. This was the first property we have arrived in with no milk. Probably sounds petty but after an 8.5 hour journey to get there and no bearings on where shops were on arrival, to come in and have a quick cuppa before heading out for a shop and bite to eat would have been appreciated. Teabags, coffee sachets and sugar were provided but no milk which was quite disappointing given some of the welcome packs we’ve enjoyed over the years. Having only one key was also a little issue for us in the mornings. We took our dogs out early for walkies leaving an elderly relative there still sleeping in bed. We had to leave the main door unlocked in case of the need to escape in an emergency etc. Due to health issues, the elderly member of our group didn’t find it easy to use the window/door in the bedroom as quite stiff and heavy, and there was also the big step over. Perhaps it would be possible to offer 2 keys to those who it may benefit to avoid such a situation for others. Also in the details we had viewed prior to booking, a hot tub was a feature included and formed part of our decision making in opting for this property. It was therefore hugely disappointing to find a sauna (which we struggled to get to heat) and a cold plunge pool. Wasted expense on new swimwear in preparation too as we’re not swimmers so didn’t already have this. Finally, the much mentioned and highly recommended local pub was closed and looks like it will be for a while at least. It would be good if this could now be amended in the property details to ensure such facts remain up to date. Appreciate it may have only recently closed but it is still mentioned in the property details now so might help others with their plans. All that said, the property is a good size, is bright, modern and comfortable, in a great spot, well planned and spotlessly clean. The garden is amazing and perfectly secure for doggies. The alpacas are gorgeous and so friendly. Stunning place all in all.

- Andrew, May 2023
Lorraine May 2023

“Perfect dog friendly accommodation, the garden was lovely and big and the dog loved the alpacas - well, it took a day or two!”

! We wanted somewhere to chill and relax and this fit the bill perfectly. This is definitely on our list for future return visit and we don't usually go somewhere twice!! (A dressing table or shelves would have been really handy in the main bedroom, just for somewhere to put our essentials). Thanks for sharing such a fab home.

- Lorraine, May 2023
Glen May 2023

“Excellent property and lovely location.”

Had a wonderful time and already booked to visit again later this year.

- Glen, May 2023
Jayne April 2023

“What a wonderful place.”

We will definitely be going back, already recommended it to family and friends. It’s just as the pictures show it maybe needs a picture of the garden showing we were surprised by the size. It’s a hidden gem credit to the owners.

- Jayne, April 2023
Lorna April 2023

- Carl, March 2023
Colin March 2023

“Fantastic cottage in the Lake District.”

We were really impressed with the overall standard of all the rooms & amenities in this cottage. Great garden for our two little dogs as well. Icing on the cake were the lovely Alpaca neighbours. Would definitely recommend.

- Colin, March 2023
Paul February 2023

“Super property , first time we have had a secure garden for the dogs as other properties state this but never are .”

- Paul, February 2023
Graeme February 2023

“Property was lovely, the only minor thing was when I asked Sykes live chat if limestones had a washing machine and dishwasher they said it didn’t.”

I was delighted to find it did have these facilities, I would’ve brought less clothing and dishwasher tabs, washing machine tabs etc

- Graeme, February 2023

Thank you for your review, I do apologise about the mix up, I will look into this to ensure it’s added to the website. We have hopefully done our best to supply everything you need at Limestones. Best wishes Edward & Marie Property Owner

Tracey January 2023

“Loved our stay in this cottage.”

It's absolutely lovely with everything we needed. No skimping on basics like some properties. What made it even more special were the gorgeous alpacas and black nosed sheep which were just in the field right next to the cottage. Such a delight to be greeted by them. Sauna was great too. Stayed here with 3 dogs. Garden was big and safe for them to run around. Great location with a lovely view of the tarn from the garden and lovely friendly local pub. Lovely owner too. Thank you very much.

- Tracey, January 2023

Thank you very much for your lovely review, we are glad you had a great time and loved our animals, they are great to watch. Best wishes Edward & Marie Property Owner
Amanda January 2023

“Very clean, warm, and cosy cottage with large airy comfortable bedrooms I was ...”

Very clean, warm, and cosy cottage with large airy comfortable bedrooms I was a little worried about there being a secure place for the dogs as there was no picture of the outside space in the details but the garden was perfect, really good size and well fenced with sauna and view of alpacas as a nice extra

- Amanda, January 2023

Thank you for taking time to leave a lovely review. We are glad you had a great time and your dogs enjoyed running around. Best wishes Edward & Marie Property Owner
Michelle December 2022

“Limestone Cottage is absolutely beauitful and set in a stunning location.”

The facilities are perfect - a real home from home and was spotlessly clean when we arrived. We had two dogs with us and they LOVED the garden, there was plenty room for them to run around - and the alpaca and sheep in the neighbouring feild were a little bonus. It was great to see them each morning. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to be back again soon.

- Michelle, December 2022
David December 2022

“Amazing place everything absolutely spot on we will be returning”

- David, December 2022
Rachel December 2022

“We had a fantastic stay at Limestones as a pre Christmas get together with friends.”

Property was fantastic, great views! Loved the llamas and sheep saying hello each morning and waiting to be fed. Beautifully planned and furnished, found great little pub in the village for mulled wine and cake and not too far from Ulverstone too so great location. Perfect!

- Rachel, December 2022
Cheryl October 2022

“Fabulous cottage.”

Well equipped. Absolutely spotless. The alpacas in the field were a bonus! Perfect location for a peaceful break. Will be booking again.

- Cheryl, October 2022
Mandy October 2022

“Limestones has the real wow factor!”

We knew it was going to be nice just by the pictures but when we arrived the reaction it created by our party of 5 adults, 1 toddler and 2 dogs was sheer joy. The space was amazing and all the facilities that were provided you just couldn't fault, it had everything you could need for a short or long stay. Only thing I could really push to think of that was missing were recycling bins but maybe I just over looked them? Because the place was perfection. We had the most wonderful 3 days there and was truly sad to leave. We will definitely book to stay again

- Mandy, October 2022
J September 2022

“Just perfect just what we all needed thank you”

- J, September 2022
Soniya August 2022

“Beautiful cottage with all the facilities you could need.”

The Sauna and the plunge pool was a brilliant idea. The only suggestion I would make is if the bedroom doors had locks but otherwise would definitely book again.

- Soniya, August 2022
David August 2022

“Instructions for finding the property were incomplete (probably truncated).”

Called the owner and he assisted - lovely man. Kitchen needs more items, but I guess not many people cook much on holiday so it's understandable. Great location and very nice property. Beds a little soft, but that's personal preference. Sauna was a very welcome addition. Overall, we had a great time.

- David, August 2022
Stuart July 2022

“False advertising on behalf of Sykes resulted in a very unhappy family on arrival.”

Frankly this let down cast a shadow on the first few days of the holiday. I will not be booking with Sykes again.

- Stuart, July 2022

I’m very sorry to hear this, if you would like to get in touch to discuss your concerns please email istonesholidaylet@gmail.com Best wishes Marie Property Owner
Michael July 2022

“The cottage was exceptional.”

We all loved it. Everything was so clean. Loads of room for everyone and didn't need for anything. Only thing missing was patio table umbrella for those really hot days

- Michael, July 2022
Denise July 2022

“The cottage was every bit as wonderful as described with the addition of the company of alpacas and sheep which added to the enjoyment of our holiday.”

The location was super with Ulverston close by. We had a brilliant holiday - thank you.

- Denise, July 2022
Nigel June 2022

Spotless and well equipped.Friendly neighbours-alpacas and sheep!

- Nigel, June 2022
Christine June 2022

Sauna and plunge pool were excellent. Had good weather and enjoyed eating outdoors looking over to the Tarn

- Christine, June 2022
Katie April 2022

Emma April 2022

“What a beautiful home this is.”

Absolutely perfect in every way. We had such a lovely surprise when we arrived as we had no idea there were alpaca and sheep in the field beyond the garden area. Our little girl absolutely loved this and it really made her holiday! Beautifully designed inside with everything you need. Stunning outside area too. We wandered down to the local pub for a meal which was lovely and the staff were ever so friendly. We will definitely be returning. Thank you for having us.

- Emma, April 2022

Thank you very much for your kind review. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and your little girl enjoyed the animals. If you do stay again send us a message and she can feed the animals. Good to hear you enjoyed your meal at the local pub it is a very friendly place, best wishes Edward & Marie Property Owner
Graham April 2022

“Far exceeded our expectations , fantastic property and fenced floodlit paddock ...”

Far exceeded our expectations , fantastic property and fenced floodlit paddock was a bonus with us taking the dog kept him on a long line as the Alpacas and Sheep were in next field and he could have jumped fence one large saucepan would be useful to cope with a family of 4 better

- Graham, April 2022

Thank you for your lovely review, we are glad you enjoyed your holiday. Thank you for the suggestion of a larger pan, I have purchased one. Best wishes Edward & Marie Property Owner
Kenny March 2022

Sharon March 2022

“Had a lovely 2 night stay at Limestone, can’t recommend it enough!”

It’s a lovely cottage, great location, absolutely immaculate inside and out, the attention to detail is amazing. We went with 3 dogs and they loved it, alpacas to say hello to, ball thrower, towels, dog mats, we took our own things but anything you may have forgotten was catered for. Comfy beds, great bathroom facilities, kitchen well equipped. I don’t have a single suggestion or negative. So well thought through nothing missing. Can’t wait to visit again.

- Sharon, March 2022

Thank you very much for leaving a fantastic review, it’s good to know we have everything you could possibly need at Limestones. The outside space we have for dogs is definitely a plus. We hope to welcome you back soon, best wishes Edward & Marie Property Owner
Niccie March 2022

“This property was superior to anything we have booked before.”

We loved the modern but comfortable style. The owner provided everything that we would possibly need. The Alpacas and sheep were perfect as our holiday home neighbours! ;) We will definitely be booking again x

“Limestones was absolutely immaculate!”

Marie & Edward are the perfect hosts. You will not be disappointed if you book this property. Massive garden which was the perfect run for our 2 dogs. Sauna & plunge pool for that added luxury. Our little girl loved the Alpacas on the neighbouring field. We are already planning our next trip. Thank you!

About the location

Great Urswick, with its two characterful pubs, including 16th century restaurant and 12th century church, is a hidden gem, a lovely village just three miles to the south of Ulverston.

Birkrigg Stone Circle is one of several prehistoric settlement sites in the surrounding countryside. Locally, the start of the Haematite and Cumbrian Way footpaths can be found. Nearby Ulverston is an ancient market town, which still holds a street market every Thursday and Saturday, with facilities including a wide range of shops, pubs and restaurants, a cinema and a leisure centre. All of the attractions of the Lake District National Park are easily reached, with the Furness Coast boasting sandy beaches and good birdwatching.

“Second visit,really great location,lovely amenaties book twice more for 2025.”

“Property was lovely but a few things we thought it needed to make things more comfortable: Velux window in living room was broken, which also meant at one point we needed to climb onto kitchen top to close and the tops of the kitchen cupboards were really dirty and covered in dead flies.”

“Stunning property in just the best location to explore the beauty of the lakes.”

“Limestones is my happy place.”

“A fantastic well equipped property in a great location for exploring the South Lakes and those places a little of the beaten track.”

“Absolutely fabulous place.”
