About this property

Enjoying a prime position within the Lake District National Park, near the hustle and bustle of Keswick in Cumbria, is Limhus House, a fabulous, four-bedroom home. Just paces away from a hub of amenities and attractions, recently refurbished Limhus House offers a contemporary interior for eight guests, whilst enjoying breath-taking views across to Skiddaw. Park up on the private driveway before heading indoors to reach the welcoming hallway. Turn left into the lovely sitting room, where you'll find plush seating to sink into, a gas wood-effect stove fire to light on cooler evenings, and a Smart TV for entertainment. Continue through the home to the kitchen/diner, the social hub of the abode, where you can prepare meals in the sleek kitchen, before gathering around the bench-style dining table. Take in the fresh Cumbrian air from the rear garden, with rural vistas in the backdrop, before retiring to one of the four well-appointed bedrooms on offer; select between a super-king-size with its own balcony and en-suite, a king-size with balcony, a king-size with en-suite, and a double. The balcony at the rear of the property provides breath-taking views across to Skiddaw and Latrigg. Awaken to a refreshing shower in the contemporary ground-floor shower room, or indulge in a soak in the bathroom, before donning your walking boots to explore Keswick, host to a variety of independent shops, convenience stores, eateries, and cafes. Recharge your batteries when you choose Limhus House for your next retreat in Cumbria. Note: This property can be booked with Ref. 1063127 together sleeping 10 guests.

The popular town of Keswick is the holiday centre of the North of the Lake District and has plenty to offer the visitor at any time of year. The town boasts numerous shops and restaurants to suit all tastes, as well as offering miniature golf, excellent parks, the famous Theatre by the Lake, a charming cinema, the Pencil Museum, a climbing wall, fishing and great mountain biking opportunities, whilst the beautiful lake of Derwentwater at the head of the stunning Borrowdale Valley is only a few minutes walk from the town centre. Nearby, between Braithwaite and Buttermere is the beautiful Newlands Valley, while picturesque Bassenthwaite Lake is well worth a visit. From a gentle countryside ramble to a challenging hike up Skiddaw or the famous Catbells, there really is something for everyone. Visit Castlerigg Stone Circle, the Jennings Brewery and Mirehouse, a grand house and gardens on the shores of the Bassenthwaite Lake, or take a fabulous boat trip around Derwentwater. With plenty of attractions for the kids, lovely parks and the nearby Lake District Wildlife Park this is a great Lakeland destination whatever the time of year.

  • Katie

    The kitchen is fitted to provide all options for catering for all group sizes, the reception room and kitchen were great to be spend time with each other.

  • Sally

    The views are outstanding and its only 5 to 10 minute walk in to the centre of Keswick. We (6 adults, a 3 year old and a dog) had a great time, and would certainly book again if we return to Keswick.

  • Lesley

    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.
