"Limhus House was the perfect venue for a get together with our family."
It is in an ideal position, just 10 mins walk to shops,parks & restaurants when needed. Limhus house is really well equipped, clean, lovely decor & very spacious. We were sad to leave but would love to return & sit on the balcony again overlooking Skiddaw.
So happy you had a good time, and glad the weather was fine enough for you to use the balcony! Look forward to welcoming you back soon. Property Owner

"This is the first time we've booked accommodation like this and we were somewhat apprehensive."
The house is as it was advertised on the Sykes Cottages website although we immediately thought it was better than we expected. We were seven, three generations gathered to celebrate an eightieth birthday. The clean, modern accommodation added to our celebrations. The beds were comfortable, the table and seating ideal. The kitchen fittings were high quality and easy to use. That the heating and hot water were adjustable also helped. The gas fire caused some problems but we rang Sykes in Chester and soon after, a maintenance engineer arrived and corrected the fault. Can I find a problem? Maybe the addition of a couple of hooks to hang a kitchen towel and a tea towel will help. Will we book with Sykes again? We already have.
Many thanks for your kind feedback. Sorry about the fire and glad it got fixed quickly. All the best. Property Owner

"We had a wonderful stay at Limhus house."
As a family of four, it was very spacious and had everything we needed. Such a great location, we didn’t need to use the car all week. We were really sad to leave and will hopefully be back one day!
Many thanks for your kind words. So glad you had a good time (hope the weather was kind!) and we look forward to welcoming you to Limhus House again soon. Property Owner
