What our customers say about their holidays
Lesley - Verified booking
This was our third stay in Limhus Cottage during the past two years.
The location, garden and views offered across to the fells are all top class. However, on this occasion the standard of cleanliness has been extremely disappointing. The main areas of the property that are on show were all okay, but closer inspection reveals that the thoroughness of the cleaning between guest occupancy that should be expected is not being carried out. My major areas of concern were: Shower enclosure - it would appear that this has not been correctly cleaned for some considerable period of time. Black mould and debris are visible around the door frame and seals, the gab handles, and indeed the suppled cleaning blade for drying off the shower walls and screen. The reverse of one of grab handles was completely black with mould. I cleaned this myself as best I could. Additionally, the shower door is no longer water-tight and leaks out onto the bathroom floor. Dust - the bottom half of the bathroom heated towel rail was covered with dust. I cleaned this myself. Other areas that havenât seen a duster for a while are the flat surface behind the TV, and the tops of skirting boards, especially those in the bedroom and bathroom. Dirt - the bathroom vanity unit shelves were stained, and the wardrobe floor was covered with what appeared to be flakes of dry paint. I cleaned the vanity unit and vacuumed inside the wardrobe. All of this would suggest that either the terms of reference that the property owners have with the current cleaning company needs some revision, or the work is not being performed as contracted and therefore needs to be subject to closer control. Lastly, a suggestion. As the house next door is now also being let, a voile or venetian blind fitted to the bedroom window would offer a degree of privacy, rather than needing to keep the curtains closed. Please view these comments as being constructive and hopefully they can inform the necessary remedial actions that need to be taken, because the property really is a lovely place to stay.

Property is extremely well situated, spacious and well appointed.
However on arrival there were obvious issues in relation to the cleanliness of the property. 1. Within the oven there were left over cooked tacos on a baking tray. 2. Foodstuffs leftover in the cutlery basket. 3. Dirty unwashed mugs left in the dishwasher. 4. Touchscreen functions on the cooker / grill were covered in fingerprints and clearly hadn't been wiped down / cleaned. 5. There was a lot of dog hair especially on the couches. (Appreciate this is a dog friendly property however have stayed in multiple dog friendly properties without this issue) Two days into our stay the washing machine also broke down. We were advised two days later that the machine was broken and wouldn't be repaired / replaced while we were there. One of these issues alone I would have likely overlooked however all together made for a less than ideal break. I did contact the property management on arrival and explained the issues around the cleanliness of the property to which they apologised and advised they could sent out another cleaning team the following day. We arrived in the evening so this wasn't really any use as we had to prepare food and sorted the cleaning ourselves. Leftover food in the oven is just totally unacceptable. I realise these issues are largely out of control of the owners and it's the cleaning company contracted that have let them down so this is not a personal attack on the owners or the property itself. I'm just annoyed given the price we paid. We have stayed in Keswick is similarly priced properties and also cheaper properties and never encountered cleanliness issues. I have also tried containing Sykes directly to report these issues, promises of callbacks have been made and so far nothing. Not only would I not stay at this property again I will not be using Sykes again.

Details of the cottage, and communication with the owners were very good.
The cottage was easy to find and well-presented. It had most facilities required although no bread bin and no egg cups. The towel rail in the bathroom had electrical and water connections but was not on and there was no obvious way of switching it on. I moved the airer from the utility room on the lower ground floor to the bathroom to ensure that towels could be aired. On arrival, soon found that the plug hole in the bath was restricted and water was only going down very slowly. After consultation with the owner, I bought some chemical drain cleaner and left it in situ over night - this cured the problem. This problem should have been obvious to the previous occupier of the cottage, and presumably wasn't picked up during the cleaning of the cottage at changeover time. A few days later, I awoke to find no hot water. I contacted the owner again and he arranged for a plumber to fix the problem but this wasn't until the next morning. On my last day, I woke again up to find no hot water and the gas boiler displayed the same fault code. So out of seven mornings in the cottage, only had hot water on four of those. I would have thought that a service contract should be in place to fix such a problem rapidly and correctly.

Lovely little cottage, just right for two people.
Well equipped for our needs. Great to have washing up liquid & surface spray provided, and a few washing machine tablets, along with Olive oil, salt & pepper, sugar and a few coffee & tea sachets. Plus a bottle of wine, biscuits, jam/lemon curd and milk - all very welcome! The stairs are steep & narrow, and doorways are low - which we were aware of when we booked so this wasn't a problem. The whole cottage was very clean and seemed well maintained. The dining & living room furniture are not the same as the photos on the website so these need updating. The table and chairs we had were not as nice, and the sofa & arm chair seemed smaller. Different rug as well. But there was a footstool which was an added bonus. Overall we had a lovely stay and would definitely consider coming back. It's a 2 minute walk to the town centre and the lake, with some great walks from the front door including Walla Crag which has amazing views.
