“We had a great time at Limhus cottage.”

It was very clean and comfortable and the kitchen was very well equipped. It was very central and only took a few minutes to walk into Keswick. The garden was huge and sunny and our year old Labrador had a great time in it.

“Lovely cottage and fantastic location.”

Great advantage to be able to park the car at the property and walk into town or Fitz Park. Well equipped and furniture and bed all very comfortable. Great garden for the dog - completely safe.

“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.

“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.

“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

“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.

“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.

“We spent a fantastic week at the Limhus Cottage ,Keswick.”

The cottage has everything you need to enjoy a comfortable, relaxed holiday and more. The location is excellent, views of Skiddaw and the surrounding fells, from the patio,and lovely garden. We shall be returning to the cottage in the near future, when the opportunity arises.

“Fantastic place and very happy except the bed needs a new mattress”

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.

“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
