• "We enjoyed our short stay at the Limestones."

  The accommodation had everything we needed. The location was idyllic and the alpacas and sheep were very sociable and gave entertainment to our dog! The only small suggestion we would make would be to include a hot tub, as the quiet location would make a perfect evening to relax after a busy day. Just a flag for the directions, once you have turned off Church Road, keep going along the lane until you meet the fork and then verge right.

• "What can I say?"

  Limestones, great location, fabulous decor and facilities. Very clean and comfortable, a real home from home. Pippa, Gus and Skylar really loved their time here and I would definitely recommend this property. My only comments would be, the cooker hood was unbelievably noisy, which did spook Gus and the gaps in the gate at the far end of the paddock did not stop our little terrier from investigating the alpaca and sheep’s field! Thankfully Skylar has great recall and so we were able to keep an eye her and stop her from revisiting

• "Beautiful place in a beautiful location."

  Some niggles: garden was enclosed but not dog secure. (our dog stepped over the fence at the end of the garden into the Alpaca field); a page is missing from the directions to the property (though the post code takes you to the door); some wooden spoons would be useful for cooking.

  All features of the cottage were exceptional, spacious, warm, light, large patio and garden area- very impressive

• "Lovely property."

  The pictures don't do it justice. The directions appear to be missing the last page

• "We had a lovely stay at Limestones."

  The February weather was mixed, so it was nice to go back and relax in the comfort and warmth of Limestones. Our little yorkie fell in love with the alpacas going down to the gate each morning to greet them. Lots of nice memories

  Took a short while to find the cutlery drawer,but the cottage was in a marvellous location and very cosy.

• "What a very special property, beautifully equipped and complete with Alpaccas and swiss sheep !"

  . The location provides easy access into the Lakes, with the town of Ulverston with all of the facilities and food offerings you will need only minutes away. Thoroughly enjoyed our three night mid week break

• "This was our 2nd visit to Limestones and it felt great to be back."

  We went with our 2 sons, daughter in law and granddaughter and 2 dogs. We all love being there together and there was the added bonus this time of feeding the Alpacas which our granddaughter loved. Limestones is stunning with plenty of space and facilities for us all. The outside space is fabulous and the sauna and plunge pool amazing! Lots to do if heading out and plenty of shops nearby. We cannot wait to come back!

• "What a lovely week we've just had !"

  Limestones is a fantastic property with everything you could need and feels away from it all. Easy access by car or by foot to some lovely walks in the lakes. We weren't expecting it to be as good as it was as the outdoor space is not shown on the listing so we had that added surprise on arrival. Nice food as well at the Farmers in Baycliff and General Burgoyne. Thank you to Limestones for a fantastic holiday.

• "On a whole this holiday home impressed on arrival, especially being greeted by Alpacas and the 2 Sheep."

  For the price I would have expected a very high standard, which was let down by the flimsy wardrobe that seems to be slowly falling apart in small double room . My teenage daughter had an uncomfortable single bed so we turned mattress over only to discover a previous guest had an accident at some point. Mattresses ideally needs replacing. The location was lovely, very quiet and peaceful would highly recommend! Tho alot of driving is required if you are planning to see all the lakes. Little tip don't leave bathroom light on with windows open .....we experienced every bug from the Tarn sleeping with us ! Thankyou limestones for a a enjoyable week

• "One word for this property- awesome!"

  We’ve stayed in many Sykes cottages and this one is by far the best. Lovely modern accommodation, lovely location with beautiful views and the added bonus of a daily visit from the sheep and Alpacas next door. We had 3 generations of the family staying and we all thought it was fantastic.

• "Limestones certainly has the WAW factor."

  I cannot rate this place high enough. The huge enclosed garden was a nice surprise, the dogs loved it, especially intrigued by the lawnmower! The lamas came to say hello which was nice (although the dogs had something to say each time). Such a wonderful relaxing holiday (pitty about the weather which stopped us exploring) but was happy just to relax in comfort. Will definitely come back.

  There was nothing that wasn't thought of. The house was beautiful and clean. The garden was big enough for a large family. Bbq and sauna/plunge pool was a lovely extra. Will definitely be returning at some point. The alpacas and sheep on the neighbouring field was a lovely sight first thing in the morning. Fantastic stay one that even the rain couldn't ruin.

• "A modern property superbly appointed."

  It is in a beautiful spot with a super garden. The alpacas are a bonus!!! We would love to stay again and so would our dogs. As a semi ambulant disabled person it was just right but a wheelchair user would have difficulty with entrance over the folding door and window frames.

• "The best holiday accommodation we have ever been too!"

  The smell of fresh linen hit you as soon as you entered the property and everything was spotless. The dog loved the large garden and made good friends with the sheep. Just the place to unwind as the surroundings were so peaceful with stunning views. We will definitely return.

• "This was one of if not the nicest properties we have ever stayed in, however, there were a few minor niggles."

  Blinds in the lounge/kitchen/dining area would be a valuable addition. We were blessed with some fantastic weather and keeping the property closed up all day while out made this area very hot to come back to, and not great for the dogs trying to sleep with extra light early in the morning. There was no ability to open the velux windows either which would have helped airflow throughout the property considerably. This was the first property we have arrived in with no milk. Probably sounds petty but after an 8.5 hour journey to get there and no bearings on where shops were on arrival, to come in and have a quick cuppa before heading out for a shop and bite to eat would have been appreciated. Teabags, coffee sachets and sugar were provided but no milk which was quite disappointing given some of the welcome packs we’ve enjoyed over the years. Having only one key was also a little issue for us in the mornings. We took our dogs out early for walkies leaving an elderly relative there still sleeping in bed. We had to leave the main door unlocked in case of the need to escape in an emergency etc. Due to health issues, the elderly member of our group didn’t find it easy to use the window/door in the bedroom as quite stiff and heavy, and there was also the big step over. Perhaps it would be possible to offer 2 keys to those who it may benefit to avoid such a situation for others. Also in the details we had viewed prior to booking, a hot tub was a feature included and formed part of our decision making in opting for this property. It was therefore hugely disappointing to find a sauna (which we struggled to get to heat) and a cold plunge pool. Wasted expense on new swimwear in preparation too as we’re not swimmers so didn’t already have this. Finally, the much mentioned and highly recommended local pub was closed and looks like it will be for a while at least. It would be good if this could now be amended in the property details to ensure such facts remain up to date. Appreciate it may have only recently closed but it is still mentioned in the property details now so might help others with their plans. All that said, the property is a good size, is bright, modern and comfortable, in a great spot, well planned and spotlessly clean. The garden is amazing and perfectly secure for doggies. The alpacas are gorgeous and so friendly. Stunning place all in all.

  ! We wanted somewhere to chill and relax and this fit the bill perfectly. This is definitely on our list for future return visit and we don't usually go somewhere twice!! (A dressing table or shelves would have been really handy in the main bedroom, just for somewhere to put our essentials). Thanks for sharing such a fab home.

  It's absolutely lovely with everything we needed. No skimping on basics like some properties. What made it even more special were the gorgeous alpacas and black nosed sheep which were just in the field right next to the cottage. Such a delight to be greeted by them. Sauna was great too. Stayed here with 3 dogs. Garden was big and safe for them to run around. Great location with a lovely view of the tarn from the garden and lovely friendly local pub. Lovely owner too. Thank you very much.

  We knew it was going to be nice just by the pictures but when we arrived the reaction it created by our party of 5 adults, 1 toddler and 2 dogs was sheer joy. The space was amazing and all the facilities that were provided you just couldn't fault, it had everything you could need for a short or long stay. Only thing I could really push to think of that was missing were recycling bins but maybe I just over looked them? Because the place was perfection.

  Called the owner and he assisted - lovely man. Kitchen needs more items, but I guess not many people cook much on holiday so it's understandable. Great location and very nice property.
