• "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.

• "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.

• "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.

  Thank you very much for your feedback. As you were aware from our frequent conversations, a Plumber came out to the cottage and found that the mixer tap on the bath had failed, he had to order a part that unfortunately didn't arrive until the day of your departure. The issue is now resolved and I am extremely sorry for the inconvenience that this caused you during your stay. Property Owner

• "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

• "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.

  The hosts were fantastic when we needed the heating changing to make sure the baby was comfortable! The cottage had everything we needed, was comfortable, a great location and the welcome hamper was a lovely touch! The cottage was clean, but there were some rather large cobwebs in the upstairs bedroom which were not hard to miss. Overall, we had a fantastic first family holiday with our 6 month old in Lime Cottage!

  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!

• "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 hour’s drive. The only thing was the pillows were very flat and soft but I didn’t get round to asking Lynsey for different ones - I am sure if I had she would have been able to provide them.

  Only slight snag we had was pillows were all very soft and not everyone gets on with duck/down 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)

  Beautiful surroundings and great facilities. We were lucky with the weather so spent a fair bit of time in the garden and the hot tub which was fabulous. The cottage has everything you could ever need, the beds etc were really comfortable and showers were good. If there was one tiny niggle it would be that it’s difficult to control the temperature with the underfloor heating. Downstairs was boiling while upstairs was much more comfortable. Loved it though. Will definitely go back.
