“We had a lovely and relaxing stay at this beautiful cottage.”

Grange over sand's is a lovely little town too.

- Mr Booth, August 2019
“Cottage was comfortable and well equipped.”

Furnishings and kitchen equipment of a good standard

- Mrs Murphy, August 2019
“This was a modern semi bungalow near the centre of Grange over Sands - clean, modern, comfortable, well equipped.”

Nothing we could want for really. It is situated up a steep hill and has steps to access so may not be suitable for those with mobility problems. Parking outside & good decking to rear garden. Lots to do in surrounding area & stunning views of Morecambe Bay from the front windows. We would certainly return for another holiday here.

- Mr Bland, February 2019
“A stunning bungalow beautifully furnished with amazing views of Morecambe Bay.”

- Mr Miskelly, October 2018
“I’d read the comments from others and they are all fair comments.”

The owner is lovely and very knowledgeable about the area. There is a hill but then you don’t look down on amazing views without being up a hill. There is one pub in the village called The Commodore we had lunch here one day. It was ok but drinks are very pricey. We drove to another one nearby called The Pheasant Inn very popular with families again it was ok. The nicest food was a pub in Lindale about 10 min drive called The Royal Oak lovely menu nice atmosphere. You can get all these pubs websites up and look at their menus. Grange over sands has everything you need a Spar a Tesco Express & a Co-Op. There is a lovely butchers opposite the spar and a nice fish & chip shop opposite the co-op and on the same side as the chippy just a bit further along is the bakery. We walked from Hillside to the promenade a few times and it’s a good walk. The prom has some nice cafes if you wish to stop. The views are great. Overall a good location ideally placed for you to explore the surrounding areas.

“The accommodation was excellent.”

Very clean,spacious,comfortable and very well laid out. We couldn't have picked a better place to stay and we had a fantastic holiday. Grange over sands offers a great range of shops ranging from bakeries to coffee shops. You must also try out the fish and chip shop there and enjoy the walk along the promise which offers amazing views

- Miss Thomas, June 2018
“Comfortable and clean.”

Quiet location yet very convenient for the town. Great views. Would definitely stay there again.

- Mrs Stowe, May 2018
“This property is rated 5 star, but lacks many items which you would expect to find in a highly rated cottage.”

There is no cleaning products, a lack of cloths, only 1 loo roll was provided, no handsoap, no shaving point, no additional TV (usually in 1 of the bedrooms) no clocks in bedrooms. We have stayed in many cottages over the years, some 3 and 4 star, and this is the only one where things of this nature are not supplied, we have even had small toiletries and tissues as additional luxuries, but nothing like that is provided here. Also the bedroom drawers should have had a dust, you don't really want other people's hair or fluff or nail files left for you to find ! It is comfortable and warm with good views over Grange over Sands, which is a lovely place to stay (cottage is at the top of a very steep road) but these little extras, in our opinion, would have truly rated this as 5 star.

- Mr Henry, April 2018
“Lovely comfy cottage with great views over the bay.”

Grange over Sands is a perfect base for touring the Lake District and beyond. Really enjoyed my visit. I will definitely be back!

- Ms Kuta, March 2018
“A very nice base for our stay in the lakes cottage had everything we needed and owner was very friendly when we contacted re key collection.”

the only negative we had was the access to the dwelling from the town the banks were very steep

- Mrs Weatherson, March 2018
“Lovely”

Just back from spending Monday-Friday in this lovely house. The house itself was immaculate. Good quality. Well equipped kitchen but we never used as ate out all the time. The outside was equally good with the decking. Would definitely stay again. Great for dogs aswell

“Fabulous Bungalow”

This is the nicest cottage I have ever spent a holiday in. The owners have obviously put a lot of thought and care into making it a comfortable and homely place to stay. It is spotlessly clean, has all the modern conveniences, lovely furniture and a beautiful patio garden to relax in. The location is close to town and yet in a peaceful setting with a beautiful view. Grange itself is a picturesque little town with a long promenade and lovely gardens. It has a bakery making sumptuous bread and cakes which opens early for those eager to start the day with fresh bread. I would definately return and recommend this cottage to anyone wanting a relaxing stay in the Lake District.

- NewportPagnell, May 2015
“Fantastic place to stay with our dog”

This is the best property we have stayed. It is clean,tidy modern and everything you can think of to make your stay perfect. It is a credit to the owners? Grange itself is a small town but very friendly people are here and dogs are catered for most of the time? Would definitely come back again and a must to stay at Hillside. Thank you

- Beverley S, October 2014
“just what we needed”

“Excellent cottage”

Extremely well presented cottage. Quiet, and in good central location, though some people would find the steep hill something of a challenge. We are regular visitors to Grange,and enjoy its slightly oldfashioned charm,excellent butchers,bakery, and brass band concerts. Many places are accessible by bus or train so there is no need to use a car. Only crticism was the total absence of cleaning materials - and the elegant but rather difficult to use bathroom taps!

“Breathtaking views”

Wonderfully updated and comfortable accommodation. Taking the dog for a walk challenging with hills but loved Grange over Sands and views from Hillside were refreshing and lovely We did have mostly good weather to benefit, once the morning mists lifted. Roomy and

“Fabulous Cottage”

We have just returned from a weeks stay at Hillside and there is absolutely nothing to fault with this accommodation. The decor is lovely and all the furnishings are to a very high standard, my son loved the internet and if I am honest so did I. We loved that we could take our dog with us, Grange is very dog friendly and the residents were lovely when you were out walking your dog, everyone said good morning, we even found a restaurant that let us take her in with us to eat (area on one side for dog lovers) Gilpin Bridge Inn if anyone is interested, vegetable risotto is to die for!! The house was lovely and warm and everything you could possibly need is there. At some point we will return to Grange and Hillside is where we want to stay, we all came back a lot fitter than when we went, just need to keep it up now!! Do stay in this cottage you will not be disappointed.

“Lake District dog heaven”

Pros Spotlessly clean and well prepared. Comfortable beds and every permanent thing you might need.Lake district attractions were all available.Broadband fine, tele good. Cons absolutley nothing left no cleaning, washing up, tea bags, spare loo roll etc which other cottages we've used have. Major shopping expedition needed when we arrived-inconvenient after travel from IW! A welcome pack would make this place extra special. Also we took the cottage because it is dog permitted but there is no lawn in the garden: just decking. I managed but dog wee and poo which I always clear up anyway had to be washed off the wood with purchased disenfectant. We do expect to be able to sit in the garden with the dog and deal with late night eliminations there. That is why we take cottage as against hotel with dog.

- D Dutton, September 2012
“good location for getting out about.”

Information and directions were easy to follow. Cottage was everything we imagined. Disappointed with local amenities at that time of year not many places open for dining and entertainment. Good walks for my dogs.

“top class bungalow”

A credit to its owner everything was clean and tidy and well laid out,grange over sands is quiet and compact place to stay, sykes the booking agents where first class and very helpful in every detail. Yes I will return to Hillside this year if possible its dog freindly our westie loved the underfloor heating thought it was great.One other recommendation would be visit Higginsons the butchers possibly the best pies I have ever eaten which I might add is a lot.To say would I recommend to anyone yes I would really enjoyed the stay shame the weather was not a bit drier but so still enjoyed it.

“Home from home”

Everything was as described. A modern, recently refurbished home with all the amenities we required. Fantastic views over Morcambe Bay, the only downside is the steep hill to access the property. Not ideal for a winter location which is often what we do. Could do with somewhere to hang coats, put boots when entering the property during wet weather.

- A FlipKey verified reviewer, December 2011
“Stunning cottage in a stunning location.”

Perfect location for touring the lakes, and Grange-over-Sands is a lovely place in its own right. The cottage itself is well furnished, with some very nice touches like the Bt-vision box for the TV, and the Rangemaster stove in the kitchen. It was also nice to be able to take our dog with us, and for the cottage to be clean, with no trace of previous dogs.

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.
