Leading holiday letting agency holidaycottages.co.uk announced that Lime Lodge near Alfreton, has been endorsed as the Best in the UK and Ireland Overall for its exceptional customer experience.
This top accolade celebrates the finest holiday lets, with finalists selected based on reviews and customer experience feedback. This category was reviewed by an expert panel led by Kevin McCloud.
Lime Lodge is an oak-framed detached property that has earned its place among the best rural escapes. Welcoming up to two guests and two dogs, it offers an intimate retreat for those seeking a countryside break. Its collection of five-star reviews includes many compliments for the owners, calling them “brilliant”, “more like friends” and “most welcoming”, with several also highlighting the generous welcome hamper. Lime Lodge is booked out for the vast majority of the remainder of the year – a testament to the experience its owners deliver for its guests.
Talking about why the property was endorsed by the judges, renowned broadcaster, author and architectural designer Kevin commented: "What set Lime Lodge apart was its impressive customer feedback and consistent five-star reviews, and I can understand why. It’s a very pretty property and has views across the parkland, but above all that, the owners are committed to offering an unforgettable experience for their guests and are truly deserving of this recognition."
Paul Young, Head of Owner Marketing at holidaycottages.co.uk, added: “The purpose of the Showcase Awards is to celebrate excellence in holiday lets by recognising properties that go above and beyond to deliver extraordinary stays. The calibre of entries certainly didn’t disappoint; attracting over 1,000 entries in total, the judges had a tough job selecting the winners for each category.
“These awards are a fantastic way for holidaycottages.co.uk to recognise the clear passion and hard work that so many owners put into making their properties a memorable stay for guests and we extend our congratulations to the finalists and winners of all categories.”
A three-night self-catering stay at Lime Lodge starts at £572 (£286pp).
