  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 haven’t 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.

  Limhus Cottage Review Human beings are so different to each other.

  They differ in expectation quality and tolerance but appear to be similar when it comes to ‘value for money’ Reviews therefore are personal and reflect such opinion. My wife and I read a couple of reviews sent to us with access details by Sykes for Limhus cottage which did not paint a good picture of this accommodation which we followed up with them before departing for the holiday. The owners replied with the words ‘everything will be according to your expectation. We were more than pleasantly surprised with what we found. EVERYTHING PERFECT. We only have one suggestion to make. The mattress is past it sell by date too firm and maybe it should be replaced. The wine and milk greatly appreciated There is no doubt this is quality accommodation. Robert Howarth Aug 24

  The property is well organised and in a great location, with fantastic views from the lounge/dinner.

  Only downsides were... That there appears to be some water pressure issue, when all bathrooms are being used around the same time and after. Check-in email received, asking how we've initially found the property, but no response received from this account. When explaining concerns with a wasps nest in the poach eaves, above the key box. Had to wash all cutlery and a few other items, before we could use it as it had baked on food on it. Also, emptied kitchen bin when leaving and found the the liner was just dropped in on rotten fruit and other rubbish. As we were leaving, we didn't have time to clean up someone else's mess
