Mrs Lowe 
“Absolutely amazing week away.”
The cottage was very clean, had everything we wanted and we were pleasantly surprised how big it was. Lovely area, we will definitely return.

Mr Massey “Grange over Sands is a lovely place to stay.”
Quite close to Coniston Water and Lake Windemere and the accomodation far exceeded our expectations. The phototgraphs just do not do this property justice. We did not want to come home and could have gladly lived in the property. A lovely homely feel and very spacious in a brilliant location within easy walking distance to the local shops and pubs and promenade. Thank you to the owners for helping to make our break a very special one. We will return in the future.
- Mr Massey, April 2021 Mr Tanwir “The cottage was spacious and neat and clean.”
The location was central and had nice views.
- Mr Tanwir, October 2020 Mr Cowe “Cottage was fantastic, definately return if we get chance.”
We were group of 6 so only one toilet bit iffy. Very close to town centre, cafes, takeaways. Ideal for the Lakes.
- Mr Cowe, August 2020 Mr Mann “Very clean.”
Great views.Had a great holiday
- Mr Mann, August 2020 Miss Dooley “Lovely place to explore from, home is so much bigger in person than advertised.”
Clean and comfy. My kids didnt want to leave. we had a car so all of the lake district was accessible to us from here. Plenty to explore locally though. Would highly recommend.
- Miss Dooley, July 2020 Ms Gray “This cottage is a real treat - it is cosy and warm yet offers much more space than the pictures suggest.”
The extra play room and dvd area is great when travelling with little ones. The location being so close to pubs, shops and the promenade couldn’t be better. Highly recommend!
- Ms Gray, February 2020 Mrs Dewey “Description of cottage is accurate.”
Very comfortable place with amazing views in a fantastic location. Stairs to top bedroom are very steep and would be difficult for older people. Only one toilet in bathroom is limiting and there is no dishwasher. Parking can be tricky as there is only on-street parking with limited spaces. These are minor items for an otherwise great stay, which we'd book again.
- Mrs Dewey, January 2020 Mrs Tyson “The cottage has excellent views over the bay from the lounge window.”
It is a stones throw from shopping facilities and to the promenade. The cottage itself is an unusual layout, but it worked for us. Lots of space. We loved it and would certainly go back again.
- Mrs Tyson, December 2019 Mr Howarth “Although the cottage is amazing , very clean and spacious the listing says "ground floor bedroom and bathroom" , but fails to say bathroom on lower ground floor and bedroom is on a upper ground floor , with 4 steps on landing , doesn't help if you are with elderly or disabled family or friends.”
It just says quirky layout and sneakily does not show any pictures of layout.
- Mr Howarth, November 2019 Mrs Hague “Great property good location”
- Mrs Hague, October 2019 Mr Allen “Excellent accommodation.”
Very clean and comfortable. Books games and DVDs available for rainy days. Excellent location close to shops cafes and promenade. Town quiet in the evening shortage of places to eat out at night.
- Mr Allen, September 2019 Mr Emsley “Perfect holiday”
- Mr Emsley, September 2019 Mr Capell “Lovely accommodation but front / inner door could be made more secure”
- Mr Capell, September 2019 Mrs Howarth “This is the second time we’ve booked this cottage.”
Parking is simple, location to shops is great. The property itself is very comfortable and the kids love the extra hallway room with the TV and games.
- Mrs Howarth, August 2019 Mrs Ibrahimi “The accommodation exceeded our expectations.”
- Mrs Ibrahimi, August 2019 Mr Lassman “We enjoyed our week at Boddencroft.”
It would be worth pointing out that car parking is on the street and the street outside the property has defined parking bays that are used by local residents, so often taken. However there is more street parking nearby so it was not really a problem. Just that you cannot be certain to be able to park right by the property entrance.
- Mr Lassman, July 2019 Mr Cothay “This was an absolute gem of a find.”
It was clean, comfortable and tidy and had almost everything you would want for a self catering holiday on the Peninsula. It was well located and parking was not too much of a problem. We took an 85 year old lady with us who was not too good on her feet and this flat was ideal. The only steps she had to contend with were the 4/5 at the front of the property and the 3/4 up from the hall level. Great house, great views, highly recommended. The only thing we would say could be improved was the fact that the bath/hand towels were like sandpaper ......could do with a good dose of fabric softener in the wash. I also think that the owners could do a better description of the property as the one we read was a bit ambiguous particularly the description of the entrance/bathroom area. If they are interested I have a few photos of the flat which would enhance those already in the advert.(no charge)
- Mr Cothay, May 2019 Mr Inman “The apartment location and sea views.”
. beds were so comfy x
- Mr Inman, April 2019 Miss Lindsay “House was lovely, had everything we needed and much more than what we expected, felt very homely, we will definitely return again.”
..
- Miss Lindsay, February 2019 Mr Mehra “It was excellent throughout just that there are a few bees in the house”
- Mr Mehra, October 2018 Mrs Jolly “Couldn't quite figure out heating seemed to switch off when needed during the cold afternoons but the electric fire in the lounge kept us snug.”
Bathroom was sometimes chilly radiator didn't quite get hot enough. Both sofas showing signs of wear & tear but overall a comfortable stay would return again
- Mrs Jolly, October 2018 Mrs Taylor “Lovely apartment, well equipped and located as a base to explore the lakes.”
Proper home from home, would definitely recommend.
- Mrs Taylor, August 2018 Mr Williamson “1. The driver better be able to slot park.”
2. Only one bathroom if you had the full complement of 6 would not be ideal. 3. The facility is downstairs with only one of the beds being on that level. 4. No electric shaver/ toothbrush socket in the bathroom. 5. A note apologising that one of the 2 sash window cords had "recently broken (although the note was hardly legible and crispy) could not be opened. Not ideal in the current heatwave. 6. The emergency pack includes a torch, unfortunately the battery was flat and no apparent means to charge it. Apart from that, the apartment is ideally situated for evening walks along the promenade and shops ,banks etc. Are all nearby.
- Mr Williamson, June 2018 Mr Gentle “The cottage is spacious, well-quipped and in a prime location with a view overlooking Morecambe Bay.”
The village has everything you need with a Coop and Tesco and local butchers and bakers. Only spoken to the owners on the phone but seem very helpful and friendly. Although at the South end of the Lakes it is an ideal location to travel farther North to the Lake District proper. The only pitfall is that parking is on-street and sometimes difficult to get right near to the cottage, but it is on a long street and, it seems, you will always find somewhere to park. I would readily recommend this holiday home.
- Mr Gentle, June 2018 Mr Burgess “A return visit for us.”
Very well positioned the apartment was very comfortable and welcoming. Ideal for walks or as a base for visits by bus or train. Excellent.
- Mr Burgess, March 2018 Mr Miah “We loved our 4 day stay in the cottage.”
It was easy to locate, a good base to explore the lakes (we visited Windermere a couple of times, less than half an hours drive), and with shops and cafes nearby. The house was clean, tidy and inviting - albeit very cold when we arrived and needing a couple of hours to heat up! - and well equipped for our needs. The rooms were spacious enough, there was plenty of space for our things. The bathroom was massive! A big walk in shower and plenty of towels, though we could have used some more loo roll and a bath plug. There are no complementary toiletries (apart from hand wash) so be sure to bring your own. The kitchen was fully equipped and comfortable to use. The bedrooms were comfortable with views of the sea and village.The children loved the games, toys and DVDs (i enjoyed the books and couple of films myself when they were in bed!) and the space to play hide and seek; they didn't want to leave! I definitely would recommend staying here.
- Mr Miah, February 2018 Mrs Satterly “Well appointed apartment in a great spot over looking the bay and within two minutes walk of a great pie shop, bakery, cafes etc.”
Lovely base for exploring the South Lakes.
- Mrs Satterly, October 2017 Mr Adams “Superb cottage located near the town centre and facilities but quiet.”
It helped that the weather was good.
- Mr Adams, October 2016 Mrs Mackay “I think it was ideal for family, location.”
Was excellent. Presentation was excellent. Very comfortable . Highly Recommend.
- Mrs Mackay, September 2016 Mrs Catlin “It was very clean and comfortable.”
We had all the kitchen equipment we needed. We loved the views and the fact it was so near to shops to get supplies, or to wander down and find a nice cafe. Also it was in excellent position to explore the South / West Lakes.
- Mrs Catlin, May 2016 Ms Luck “This was a really spacious and clean accommodation in a great location in the centre of Grange over Sands with nice walks locally and plenty of nearby facilities.”
it is a perfect base for exploring the southern Lakes with lots of activities within a fairly short drive.
- Ms Luck, April 2016 Mrs Birchall “It was close to the lovely front and had shops in walking distance.”
We would definitely return for a break and consider using Sykes cottages elsewhere in the country. Very impressed.
- Mrs Birchall, March 2016 Mrs Alcock “An excellent cottage in a beautiful location - there were sea views from most rooms.”
Grange-over-Sands is an excellent location to explore the south and west Lake District and itself offers great local shops, walks and activities.
- Mrs Alcock, August 2015 Mrs McAdam “The flat was superb, top quality throughout and had everything that we needed for a comfortable stay.”
Absolutely lovely- we didn't want to leave!
- Mrs McAdam, August 2015 Mrs Phillips “The property was beautiful and maintained to a very high standard.”
The owner had added special little touches to every room, making it feel very homely. The views from the property were absolutely stunning and the location was perfect.
- Mrs Phillips, July 2015 Miss Farrell “Liked how helpful the home owner was.”
The village is beautiful and has lots to do, as do the surrounding villages. Just spending time with each other, our baby and our friends in the perfect cottage. Cannot fault 3 Boddencroft.
- Miss Farrell, December 2014 Mrs Jump “3 Boddencroft was a beautifully presented property with lots of lovely finishing touches which made it feel really homely.”
It was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The location is superb as you are within a minute of the village with the shops and cafes. Overall a brilliant property and one we will be returning to!
- Mrs Jump, October 2014 Ms Conwell “Home from home.”
- Ms Conwell, August 2014 Miss Heslington “Very relaxing, beautiful cottage in a lovely area.”
3 Boddencroft is a great size with gorgeous furnishings and décor. We had a fantastic weekend away.

About the location
GRANGE-OVER-SANDS
Cartmel 2 miles; Lake Windermere 8 miles; Kendal 10 miles.
The charming Edwardian resort of Grange-over-Sands is set between the Lake District fells and Morecambe Bay and offers one of the mildest climates in the north of England. Formerly a small fishing village, the introduction of the Furness Railway transformed Grange-over-Sands into a fashionable Edwardian resort. Today, the town has much to offer the visitor including a traffic-free promenade, delightful ornamental gardens, golf courses, brass band concerts and excellent bird watching. Just a short drive away are Lake Windermere (8 miles), the villages of Bowness-on-Windermere and Hawkshead, which still retain the charm and character that has endeared them to so many, and the home of sticky toffee pudding, Cartmel, with its famous racecourse and the L’Enclume restaurant, which has been voted the 4th best restaurant in the UK. Other attractions in the area include Levens Hall, with its Elizabethan Hall and world famous topiary gardens, Holker Hall, Furness Abbey, Sizergh Castle, a National Trust medieval house and gardens, and Conishead Priory, a Gothic revival country house. There is also the 25 mile Cistercian Way which starts at Grange over Sands. Set amidst the southern lakes, the attractive town of Grange-over-Sands makes a superb base from which to enjoy the whole of this magical area.
