“Fantastic stay in a beautiful home.”

Perfectly located within short walking distance of Keswick town. 4 large double/king bedrooms with plenty of room for 6 adults, a toddler and a baby (and everything that comes along with them)! Kitchen had everything we needed and the lovely big flat garden was a bonus! Our stay was a very last-minute reunion with family from around the world - this home really made it for us. I would recommend to friends and hope to stay again if we return to Keswick! Thank you for a lovely experience.

“The property was immaculately clean, the kitchen and dining area are great for 8 people.”

The garden is superb for those with dogs.Having the towel rails come on for a while each day was a good idea. The shower pressure upstairs is not good and 2 towels were stained (but still clean). I would have liked 2 pillows in the main master bedroom. Good location, 10 minutes walk to the market square. We realised the front en suite shower was leaking on Wednesday. I tried to contact sykes about it but received no response. I was worried that the message had not been passed on for repair so put a note in the shower to make sure the next guests did not use it. I tried the message service online and the whatsapp but received no response.

Message from the property owners. Many thanks for your feedback - we appreciate it. And thank you for doing your best to notify Lakelovers of the problem. We are very sorry about the shower leak. The shower was installed only 18 months ago, so I have picked up with the installer. We initially thought it was a sealant issue, but when the sealant was replaced the leak was still happening. The problem has now been diagnosed (cracked waste) and will be resolved. Also - all towels in the House have been replaced as some had been stained by fake tan or similar! Many thanks again Property Owner

“Limhus House is a fabulous 4 bedroomed property, comfortable, well maintained, clean property with the benefit of 2 en-suites and off road parking for 2 cars.”

It also has a balcony to the two rear bedrooms with amazing views. Ideal for a morning cuppa if the sun is shining.

Thank you for your kind feedback - glad you were able to get some use out of the balcony! Property Owner

“Limhus House is a fabulous place to stay, very spacious and comfortable.”

The views are outstanding and its only 5 to 10 minute walk in to the centre of Keswick. We (6 adults, a 3 year old and a dog) had a great time, and would certainly book again if we return to Keswick.

“Limhus House was the perfect venue for a get together with our family.”

It is in an ideal position, just 10 mins walk to shops,parks & restaurants when needed. Limhus house is really well equipped, clean, lovely decor & very spacious. We were sad to leave but would love to return & sit on the balcony again overlooking Skiddaw.

- Lesley, March 2024

So happy you had a good time, and glad the weather was fine enough for you to use the balcony! Look forward to welcoming you back soon. Property Owner

“This is the first time we've booked accommodation like this and we were somewhat apprehensive.”

The house is as it was advertised on the Sykes Cottages website although we immediately thought it was better than we expected. We were seven, three generations gathered to celebrate an eightieth birthday. The clean, modern accommodation added to our celebrations. The beds were comfortable, the table and seating ideal. The kitchen fittings were high quality and easy to use. That the heating and hot water were adjustable also helped. The gas fire caused some problems but we rang Sykes in Chester and soon after, a maintenance engineer arrived and corrected the fault. Can I find a problem? Maybe the addition of a couple of hooks to hang a kitchen towel and a tea towel will help. Will we book with Sykes again? We already have.

- Jeff, January 2024

Many thanks for your kind feedback. Sorry about the fire and glad it got fixed quickly. All the best. Property Owner

“We had a wonderful stay at Limhus house.”

As a family of four, it was very spacious and had everything we needed. Such a great location, we didn’t need to use the car all week. We were really sad to leave and will hopefully be back one day!

Many thanks for your kind words. So glad you had a good time (hope the weather was kind!) and we look forward to welcoming you to Limhus House again soon. Property Owner
