Lime Cottage Reviews

This was the second time we had stayed at Lime Cottage. It's a lovely cottage in the perfect location we use it as a base to easily drive to any of the amazing scenary in the Lakes. The owner of the cottage has thought of everything the cottage is so clean and well kept, and the hot tub is amazing. A great bbq too! The owner left a few snacks, bread and milk for our arrival, which was a nice touch. I honestly feel that Lime cottage is a difficult one to beat if staying in the Lake District. Honestly the best accommodation I have ever stayed at!

Samantha

We had an amazing week. Great location for walks, paddle boarding, eating out, cartmel races and evening strolls. The cottage was wonderful with the hot tub and bbq to finish the days off perfectly! This is our second stay and Im sure we will be back!

Stephanie

Very clean and well maintained accommodation had everything you needed for a weeks holiday

Excellent cottage, very well equipped. Lovely welcome pack that lasted all week. Definitely will return.

Great cottage clean, tidy, spacious & well appointed. It was a luxury having 3 toilets & 2 showerbathrooms we could all get ready at the same time suiting families & couples. Lovely views front & back. Enjoyed the wood burner a couple of evenings & the hot tub is a nice way to relax muscles after a day out walking. Very impressed with welcome goodies, we had a lovely break away. Thank you.

Catherine

We had a fantastic week at Lime cottage, it was well equipped with everything you need for a self catering holiday. Lyndsey was on hand when we arrived to show us how everything worked she was so welcoming and friendly. There was a lovely basket of goodies left for us which we enjoyed. The views where gorgeous with lots to do and see nearby. We loved it Thank you.

Stephanie

This was a high quality accommodation furnished to a high standard very quiet location with x2 spaces for car parking. Great location for visiting the lakes along with nice features such as a welcome pack of treats and a hot tub.

Maureen

Lime Cottage was superb! Exceptionally clean with everything you could possibly need. In an impressive location and the manager Lyndsey was excellent. She was available if needed. We were made to feel very welcome on arrival and she gave us some wonderful advice on places to eat. A short break, too short but we will definitely be back.

Rachel

This is one of the nicest holiday cottages we have stayed in lovely location and views, and very comfortable & warm. It was well equipped though a sturdy breadboard would have been useful we couldn't find one?. The ground floor shower wasn't very powerful I wouldn't have tried washing my hair & one lavatory didn't seem to have been cleaned when we arrived, but that was easily rectified. We appreciated the generous welcome basket & overall really enjoyed our stay thank you.

Warm & comfortable. The hot tub was a real treat.Good walks from the door.Interesting area with plenty to do.

Another wonderful stay at Lime Cottage. Excellent as usual and first class. We had an issue with the washing machine that was sorted straight away. Always sad to leave but we will be back.

Stephanie

Excellent property well equipped comfortable and clean and had everything you needed to have a great holiday based in a beautiful part of the country. Nice welcome pack of treats and helpful managers of the property.The hot tub and patio area are very useful especially if the weather is good.parking for x2 cars all in all would recommend this accommodation

Rented this cottage with my 2 sons and we all absolutely loved it! The hot tub was a god send when we had two very wet days preventing us from going out and exploring. The inclusion of outdoor towels and flip flops for going out to the hot tub was very thoughtful. Beautiful rooms and bathrooms, all done to a very high standard. We would definitely use again if we travel back to the Lakes.

It's a great cottage in a great location, that you can use as a base to anywhere in the Lake District. The cottage itself is lovely and is well thought out. On arrival, the owner left us some snacks, butter and milk, which we really appreciated after a long drive. I would have given this cottage 5 stars if it were not for the very noisy bathroom tap, which sometimes could be heard from outside of the cottage, and on one or two nights, kept us awake. The owner has promised to fix the tap, just not in time for our stay. But don't let this put you off, it really is a fantastic place to stay, and the hot tub was to die for. I'm sure the tap will be fixed, sooner or later.

Kirsten

We had a lovely stay in Lime Cottage our first visit to the Lake District. The cottage was clean and very comfortable and well equipped and a lovely welcome basket with all the essentials for the first day or two. Incredibly peaceful and in a beautiful location, very tastefully decorated. Good access to all areas of the Lake District. Thoroughly recommend Lime Cottage!

The location of Lime Cottage is easily accessible from A590 with being far enough away from any road noise. On arrival we were welcomed with a tray of traditional biscuits, luxurious jams and bread. Milk, butter, tea bags and sugar were provided too. The surrounding grounds are well maintained, and you can see immediately this collection of properties are very well cared for. Beautifully furnished and decorated mixing modern decor with traditional wood features. You can see huge thought and time has went into making this house luxurious and a very relaxing place to stay. All you can hear are birds tweeting and the courtyard fountain! We have been visiting the Lake District for many years and have been lucky to stay in some nice places but this tops them all and we will be returning for sure! Linsay was a pleasure to deal with thanks once again! The kids loved the hot tub and we did too! Flip flops and towels were provided, another nice touch. I very rarely write reviews, but felt this stay was our favourite, that I needed to write one. 6 out of 5 stars from us! The Taylor Family

Catherine

An amazing place to stay. ....

Georgia

Everything was perfect when we arrived, the cottage was beautiful, clean and had everything we needed. The host was very accommodating, she left us a basket of food which was great as we had a long drive and were hungry on arrival. We will definitely be returning!

Perfect setting, within reach of lovely walks. Beautiful accommodation with fantastic equipment provided. Fab weekend retreat . Our sat nav did take us on a very narrow route which was also the recommended route for Lime cottage.. We used a different route, using the B5278 which we were happier with further but wider then turning at Clock Tower which was so much better.

A wonderful idyllic place to stay, surrounded by beautiful scenery. The cottage had everything and more, luxury feel with all the creature comforts. Would highly recommend.

Amazing stay. Wouldnt hesitate to book again, next time were in the Lakes.

Alison

Lovely cottage in a beautiful location. The bed was very comfortable and all linen provided was good quality and clean. The washing machine was a bit musty so we didnt use it. The hot tub and garden furniture were great.

Beautiful rural cottage. Great facilities to make your stay more enjoyable.

Beautiful cottage Lime. The little touches were excellent. Did not want to leave! Will be back soon.

High quality accommodation, in a very peaceful scenic location. Would fully recommend.

Even lovelier than we'd expected. It was furnished with great attention to detail and in a beautiful location. Lynsey went out of her way to make sure we had a great holiday.

Fantastic cottage with everything you could need in a lovely location we had the perfect time

Lauren

Our first trip to the Lake District was amazing! Lime Cottage was the perfect location and so peaceful. It had amazing facilities, the hot tub was so good to have after long days of hiking and walking! The cottage was spotless and we loved the decor inside. We will be recommending to friends and family and would love to come back and stay in the future!

Stunning cottage, excellent customer service from owner. Clean, well equipped. 5

Absolutely fantastic and highly recommended! Stayed for 7 nights across the Christmas period and loved every minute. The location is ideal with great views and walks and Lime Cottage is near the best holiday let we have stayed in. Comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen, well maintained hot tub and great Christmas touches including personalised gifts under the tree! Lynsey and the team were beyond helpful and couldn't have done more to make our stay 10. Really handy to have logs for the log burner on site, saves having to leave the estate! Thanks so much!

Great location for the south Lakes. Cottage equipped to a very good standard. On site help with any queries. The cottage was very warm and comfortable and plenty of walking sightseeing in the area.

Tranquil and peaceful. We had a great time exploring the local area and enjoying the scenery. Thankyou for making it such a lovely experience.

Nathan

Great accommodation and host. The welcome basket was fab.

Best place we have stayed, fantastic facilities. Sykes were efficient and made the booking experience easy. Thankyou

The cottage was beautiful clean and well equipped. It was lovely to have a few items already in the cottage such as coffee, bread, milk, butter, eggs and Prosecco. The kitchen was really well thought out and had more than we have ever seen in the self catering cottages we have previously stayed in. It was peaceful on the estate, and everywhere we wanted to go was within an hours drive. The only thing was the pillows were very flat and soft but I didnt get round to asking Lynsey for different ones I am sure if I had she would have been able to provide them.
