“The location is absolutely fabulous and the Size of the apartment was perfect.”

Beds really comfortable but that's where the good report ends. At the entrance to the property your met with a lot of cigarette ends which doesn't give a good impression.

For a party of 7 we could only find 4 cups. The ensuite bathroom the sink doesn't drain properly and the shower looses all pressure if someone uses water in another part of the house. The patio outside was overgrown and had empty beer bottles in. One of the chairs was broke so that left only 3. Your pictures show a bench that's obviously disappeared. Overall very disappointed with the cleanliness

- Mrs Ostiadel, June 2021

Mrs Ostiadel, thank you for your feedback, we were so sorry to hear how you found our lovely property when you arrived. The things you have described are not how Church View is usually as we employ a cleaning and maintenance company who are on call 24/7 for to keep our property in the best condition possible. The issues you encountered are clearly a mortifying oversight on their part which we have raised with them. Their details are in the welcome pack you would have found on your arrival, where we encourage our guests to contact them if they have any problems. Having checked with the booking agent and with the cleaning company, they have confirmed that you did not contact either of them during your stay. Had you done so I can assure you these issues would have been rectified swiftly. We can only apologise for how you found it when you arrived, and hope that you will choose Church View in the future to see it at it's best. Owner relations

!!!!! So perfectly situated for everything in the lake district. The local shops are just perfect!!! We will come back again, no question. Thoroughly recommend. If it is 5 stars, i'd give it 10!!!!!!

Mrs Bamber February 2020

“The information pack provided was really great.”

We ate out the whole time so only used the accomodation to sleep in. Very very clean and everything provided that you could possibly need.

Mrs Aucutt December 2019

“Lovely place, well equipped lovely and clean, bit noisy of a morning due to delivery’s to the shops nearby, wouldn’t put us off staying there again though, the comordor bar and restaurant was nice good food and prices, not many pubs in the village so make sure you take supplies for the apartment, nice prom with cafe bar to stop for coffee and snacks.”

Mrs Bainbridge-mann November 2019

“Our second visit to Church view.”

Brilliant size accomodation, very spacious for groups. Really comfty beds and great location for quirky shops and a walk along the promenade. Kids and parents both had a great break. We will deffinetly be back a third time.

- Mrs Bainbridge-mann, November 2019
Mr Pinkerton November 2019

“This is an excellent holiday cottage, with plenty of space for a large group, and is well located in the centre of Grange-over-Sands.”

Within walking distance there are two supermarkets as well as a variety of local shops and a number of pubs. The food in the Commodore is very good. The South lakes are within an easy drive and the railway station is only 10 minutes walk away.

- Mr Pinkerton, November 2019

Mrs Holland August 2019

“The property was large, clean and in a great location but there were few issues, nothing major but could be improved upon; 1) The window in the kitchen woukd not stay open and gets very hot in there, even when not cooking.”

.. we didn't attempt to cook. 2) The shower head in the bathroom on the first floor wouldn't stay up, it would slide down meaning you had to hold the head to use it -- impossible for 2 of our party as they have trouble raising their arms and/ or keeping raised for long periods. 3) The little road into the courtyard to park is quite narrow, and a tight fit for a MPV 7 seater. The shop below also has a sign outside which displays their deals which is always placed in the way of the road into the courtyard, forcing you to get out and moving it... only to get put back later on. Cars also park on the opposite side of the road making it hard to get into the courtyard no matter what direction you use to get into it (we always came from the Tesco Express direction, as it was slightly easier). There are road markers to keep the section clear but is so worn, it's understandable for people not to see it. These are the main issues, it's nothing major, just something to consider. It's still a great property in an amazing location just a few miles from Cartmel and less than 15 to Kendal.

Ms Wooding May 2019

“Had a lovely stay thank you.”

Just some feedback the double bedroom. On the 2nd floor needs some draws and a mirror, we didnt use all the rooms so swapped some furniture round.

Mrs Innes December 2018

“Fantastic location!”

Property is centrally located and has everything you need for a perfect break! Great sized property which was ideal for my family of 10 (5 adults, 5 children).

- Mrs Innes, December 2018
Mrs Dobson November 2018

“Comfortable and affordable.”

Had a wonderful day with the family. Plenty of space and a great base to explore the surrounding area.

Mrs Howard November 2018

“A delightful home, everything we could have wanted to enjoy our stay.”

The whole of our party loved the house, spacious, clean, warm and inviting, nothing about it was cheap from the bedding and towels to the crockery and cutlery couldn’t ask for anything more. Thank you.

- Mrs Howard, November 2018

“In general all was good.”

Being above bargin booze it was pretty noisy first thing in the morning

- Dr Oliver, August 2018
Mr Moorhouse July 2018

“The windows in the apartment were very poor, it sounded like the windows were open at night , you could hear every car that passed.”

We were woken up at 06:30 most mornings by the delivery drivers who made no attempt to keep the noise down.

- Mr Moorhouse, July 2018
Miss Singizi June 2018

“They met all our expectations and we loved the facilities in the house which had everything you would want in a home and more.”

When we called house keeping they can quickly and helped us.

- Miss Singizi, June 2018
Mrs Kay May 2018

“The house is beautiful, very clean and tastefully furnished.”

It's proximity to amenities is excellent however this was also a downside. Deliveries for the local small supermarkets, and the bargain booze the house is located above, started around 6.45am on both Saturday & Sunday . This wasn't a much of an issue for those who slept on the top floor but for the unfortunate ones on the first floor it meant very two very early starts to the day. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen had everything you would need for a holiday. With 10 adults staying it would have been nice to have 3rd shower over the bath possibly. We had a wonderful stay, spending time in both Grange and making the walk over the hill to Cartmel. We will definitely return to the area.

“Family Break”

My daughter booked this property. The house was very clean and tidy when we all arrived. The beds were comfortable and has a very good heating system. We could not find any kind of information booklet with regard to using the spa bath, condensing tumble drier, cooker etc, in the end we found the switch for the bath and finally worked out how the drier worked. It is located within easy reach of three small supermarkets, the only downside to this is some members of the family were woken very early when Tescos across the road had a delivery around 6.30am. Also the property sits above a Bargain Booze shop which can be heard mainly when opening the shutters but not too intrusive. I would suggest having a few more large pans in the kitchen. As the house can accommodate ten people, cooking spag bol for this number with just one large pan and two small pans simply is not enough. On the whole all the family enjoyed this property.

Mrs Bardsley March 2018

“Church View is situated in the Center of a traditional shopping street in the seaside town of Grange over Sands.”

Easily reached by rail, bus and private car (parking for two on site.) this town is a delight. The house is roomy, light, comfy and has a calming ambience. The jacuzzi bath is a must after a day on Hampsfell and over into Cartmel Village. Holker Hall and gardens are a sheer delight and a day out in itself. A day on Windermere sailing to Ambleside on the steamer is easily doable too. After a good nights sleep, an awakening power shower, we sat around the table having fresh bread and award winning local breakfast produce whilst deciding the delicious evening menu and easily sourcing the local products from the shops across the road. Or tasty fish and chips from the chippy. After a day in the fresh air and a tasty pub lunch we enjoy a delicious meal around the dining table in the well equipped kitchen,after a jacuzzi bath, choosing our next excursion before retiring to the comfy lounge for a few drinks a good few laughs and a chat. A perfect place for a reunion of friends and family, Church View is a well equipped, comfy home . We will return.

Mrs Wagner-birtwistle February 2018

“Lovely house in excellent location.”

Lots of space and very comfortable. Everything we needed was either in the house or on the doorstep. Great value for money and we would like to return next year.

“Absolutely fantastic we were a party of 10 with 6 adults and 4 children ...”

Absolutely fantastic we were a party of 10 with 6 adults and 4 children everybody loved everything about the cottage from the location and lay out of rooms to the jacuzzi bath would highly recommend this property would definitely book again

Ms Grimwod November 2016

“My only wish is that I'd thought to ask if we could check out after 10am on the Sunday.”

Sorting kids out can be tricky at the best of times, but one of our party was poorly over night. You did your best when I called on the day to sort this out, but you were unable to get hold of the owner. When you're only staying 2 nights, 10am is very early. I know this is pretty standard for holiday lets.

- Ms Grimwod, November 2016
abbsy2015 August 2016

“Very spacious”

There were seven adults and two young children in our party but there was loads of room for us to enjoy the property without feeling squeezed in. We had three cars and the property only provides two parking spaces so we had to pay £30 to park one in the adjacent car park. However I had researched this before we went so it wasn't a nasty surprise The accommodation itself is very clean and contains all of the equipment you could need, including washer, drier, dishwasher and free sat tv. It even has a jacuzzi bath, which the kids loved. Grange over Sands is a lovely resort, providing easy access to the Lakes. We had some great days out including a visit to South Lakes Wildlife Park. We also had a cracking baker and butcher just up the road. I can honestly say this is a very good, well appointed property.

Mrs Murray July 2016

“The apartment was spotless and well equipped, and all in our party were totally impressed.”

It is also very central to all the towns and villages in the area. There are plenty of shops and restaurants in and around Grange-over-Sands and it is such a beautiful place to visit.

“Mrs”

We booked a family weekend away for 10 of us and this property was perfect. Wonderful decor, high spec kitchen, whirlpool bath, powerful showers and set over three floors. Great local amenities and only 20mins from Windermere. We all had a brilliant time and our only disappointment was missing out on booking this place for Christmas 2016!

- MrsPLeeds, June 2016

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts on your stay at Church View, we couldn't be happier that you enjoyed your family weekend there! We certainly hope that you return very soon, and please do keep checking back for Christmas availability, things can always change! Owner relations

“Excellent accommodation in a good location with nice cafes, shops and restaurants locally.”

Took walks along the promenade. It was a very reasonable price.

“Fantastic Christmas Break”

We stayed in this rental for a week over the Christmas period. There were 10 of us from the same family with ages ranging from early twenties to mid eighties. Everyone in the party loved the house. The standard of accommodation was very high,everything was spotlessly clean. The house was very nicely furnished and cosy and the log burning stove was great. There were nice touches like the welcome pack with tea coffees, preserves and nice miniature toiletries in bathrooms. The rental is in a good location for exploring the Lake District and surrounding areas. The house was quiet and peaceful but all the town amenities were within a few minutes walk. The owner had decorated the house for Christmas which included 2 trees which was a lovely touch. We had an excellent Christmas despite the rain and would not hesitate to recommend this house.

- Margaret N, January 2016

Thank you ever so much for sharing such incredible feedback with us, we are ecstatic that you had such an enjoyable holiday! Catering for such a varied age range is no easy task so we are over the moon that everyone in your party loved Church View - it's great to hear you were so impressed! We certainly hope you will be back for another holiday very soon, we'd love to have you. Owner relations

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.
