Lime Cottage Reviews

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.
Hayward
It was a brilliant stay and we were so well looked after

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.
The cottage was wonderful for our 1 year old daughter surrounded by open spaces and animals she absolutely loved it. The hot tub provided a welcomed parent break. Overall the facilities were absolutely wonderful and we are already looking to return at Christmas time. Thank you for a wonderful break. Highly recommend Cumbria zoo!
Lovely cottage in a perfect location.
Catrin
The cottage is perfectly equipped for all you need with some thoughtful touches in providing provisions and essential cleaning and kitchen items. The complex is well maintained with a stunning view.
Darren
This is the 2nd stay at Lime Cottage, Highly recommended. Excellent cottage and facilities. Perfect for a relaxing get away.
Alexandra
Lovely holiday, very relaxing. Location was beautiful!
Lovely facilities and nice touch with the welcome food and drink and cleaning kit. Only slight snag we had was pillows were all very soft and not everyone gets on with duckdown pillows and duvets. Perhaps alternative pillows to be kept in the wardrobe. Overall lovely facilities and hot tub under the stars was great. Lovely fireplace Although felt having to pay for more wood etc would be a little tight if we were in the colder months but luckily this was enough for our stay. Lovely situation and would stay again but would bring own pillows
