This was our first time staying at Limepots under its new ownership- Elisabeth and Richard have made wonderful, high quality improvements to the property, which we have stayed at many times in previous years. As hosts, we couldn't have asked for more-every detail was carefully thought out, and communicated well before our stay, so 10/10 for customer service. The property is a beautiful home, immaculately clean, well maintained, and very tastefully decorated throughout- the website pictures do not really do it justice.
Limepots is a 5 minute flat walk to the centre of Keswick, 2 minutes to the park, and just far enough away from the hustle and bustle of the town to be peaceful and quiet. There is a drive that easily can park two/ three cars plus a safe garage for storing bikes or equipment you may bring. There is also a private garden, with seating, so that you can relax there if you are lucky enough to get some sunshine.
The house is well equipped with everything you may ever need, and more! The new kitchen is fabulous, and the new downstairs bathroom is a definite improvement and saves queueing for the upstairs bathroom! There are lots of little things that make a family holiday that little bit easier- you can literally bring your clothes and walking boots and go! We have stayed here many times, and have lots of friends and family who have stayed after our recommendation- the new improved Limepots is even better! Im sure even the pickiest of guests would find it hard to pick fault here.
We love the Lakes, and Keswick has it all, in my opinion-great days out for walking, boat trips, fab foodie places to eat, and lovely pubs to quench your thirst in. The town has a family friendly vibe, and there are loads of lovely shops to browse. We particularly enjoyed Lingholme at the far side of Derwentwater- lovely food, great service and a wonderful setting for morning coffee & cake, or a hearty lunch. A lot of time and money has obviously been spent on Keswick after the terrible floods, and it was obvious the town had recovered and bounced back larger then life. Buy a weekly pass for the Keswick launch, get your walking boots on, enjoy the great outdoors... coming home to a lovely log fire, and a beautiful home from home in Limepots just adds to the pleasure!
