“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.

“Perfect holiday”

“Lovely accommodation but front / inner door could be made more secure”

- Mr Capell, September 2019
“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
“The accommodation exceeded our expectations.”

- Mrs Ibrahimi, August 2019
“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
“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)

. beds were so comfy x

- Mr Inman, April 2019

“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
“It was excellent throughout just that there are a few bees in the house”

- Mr Mehra, October 2018
“Lovely apartment, well equipped and located as a base to explore the lakes.”

Proper home from home, would definitely recommend.

- Mrs Taylor, August 2018
“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
“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
“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
“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.

“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
“Brilliant girlie weekend !!”

Beautiful house with stunning views. Very clean and comfortable beds and spacious lounge and kitchen with everything we needed. Lovely thought to leave bubbly and balloon to help with our celebrations. Close to all amenities and beach and promenade. Could benefit from 2nd toilet and shower especially with 6 ladies but didn't spoil our stay. Would definitely stay again. Thankyou Andy.

“Really lovely!”

We stayed at Boddencroft during October and thoroughly enjoyed it! The house is totally spotless, as clean as can be. The bathroom is large and the shower is fabulous! We loved the layout of the house, and it is quiet and warm. There are views of the sea from every window at the back. We would recommend this house to any of our friends. Grange Over Sands is a nice little town, with independent shops to have a bimble round and plenty of places to eat during the day. We can recommend Hazelmere Cafe and Bakery for lunch, and for a night out the village of Cartmel is only 4 miles away (grab a taxi for £7) where there are 4 lovely pubs and some really nice places to eat.

The property

This cosy apartment is part of an attractive stone-built Victorian house set in the heart of Grange-over-Sands, only a short walk from the village amenities.

With the attractions of the Lake District less than 12 miles away, Boddencroft will appeal to those looking to tour the UK’s most-loved National Parks.

The interior has been completely renovated with individual styling and contemporary furnishings, resulting in a wonderful holiday home.

The ground floor can be accessed at the first floor level from the rear of the building.

Wander into the open-plan living area, made up of the well-equipped kitchen with dining table and the snug sitting room which offers views towards the bay.

The ground floor also consists of a double bedroom and ample bathroom while the first floor hosts the remaining two bedrooms, these being king-size and twin arrangements.

Almost each window in Boddencroft provides a view of some sort, whether it be across the town or towards the sea, acting as a constant reminder of the unspoilt surroundings.

Eat out at one of the many restaurants or pubs in the village, or grab a quick bite at the popular Hazelmere Café or Grange Bakery.

A stroll along the promenade is highly recommended, giving you a chance to take in the views over the estuary.

If exploration takes you out of the village, then you must pay a visit to the Lake District, boasting the touristy villages of Ambleside and Bowness, each serving delights of their own.

A superb base from which to enjoy the whole of this magical area.

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, Sizergh Castle, a National Trust medieval house and gardens, and Conishead Priory, a Gothic revival country house. 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.
