    “This was a beautiful house but there are quite a few issues.”

    The first was the smell. There was an awful smell of must as soon as you opened the front door which hit you. The whole of the corridors were like this though thankfully not the main rooms. I had to go and buy air freshener and open all the windows before it was bearable. The carpets are quite heavily stained in the main area leading up to first floor. The bedrooms here were OK though it would have been nice not to have towels that had bloodstains on and sheets that were marked with something ...

    The first was the smell. There was an awful smell of must as soon as you opened the front door which hit you. The whole of the corridors were like this though thankfully not the main rooms. I had to go and buy air freshener and open all the windows before it was bearable. The carpets are quite heavily stained in the main area leading up to first floor. The bedrooms here were OK though it would have been nice not to have towels that had bloodstains on and sheets that were marked with something. The living room was lovely but the remote control was missing for the TV. It was eventually found at the end of the stay under the unit. It was also quite dusty in here. The kitchen was lovely and big but the kitchen table was rickety and very sticky. It had to be cleaned before usage. The utensils were all filthy and all had to be washed before usage. The freezer was unusable due to it being completely iced up and the fridge could also do with defrosting as it was also heavily iced. Tea towels stunk of grease so I had to wash one before it was usable. The utility room was horrendous, the smell in there made it completely unbearable. The tumble dryer still had water in it so that had to be disposed off before use. The upstairs rooms were fine but the en suite on the top floor does suffer from low water pressure so if somebody is having a bath or shower downstairs it can't be used for at least an hour as you won't get any water apart from cold. This should be made clear. I did ask for extra bedding which was left folded on the bed settee. I eventually found the duvet and one pillow just thrown into the ottoman at the foot of the bed, which has a broken lid. This is such a beautiful house it is such a shame that the upkeep is sadly lacking. The whole place could do with a thorough deep clean and some maintenance done on the property.

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.
