“Beautiful cottage with stunning views.”

Clean, tidy and well kept cottage. Parking is a slight frustration; we should have paid more attention to details ahead of the stay.

“Oversands Cottage is quite unique in its design and location.”

Central to all that Grange over Sands has to offer. We found it to be compact, very clean and welcoming to a very pleasant stay. The views over Morecombe Bay are breathtaking, from the sun rising to sunset and of course the obundance of wildlife. An unforgetable stay, highly recomended.

“Perfectly located in Grange Over-Sands the little cottage is beautifully designed with quality furnishings, well equipped kitchen, most comfortable bed with quality linen.”

The windows providing the ever-changing views, skies, the wading birds the moon rise were a real pleasure. The outdoor space a sun trap. Lots of things to do in the area. A memorable holiday, thank you.

“The kettle stopped working.”

I have left a note but couldn't get through to Sykes cottages to let you know as it was out of hours. We had a really wonderful time and it was a fabulous place to unwind and did us the power of good. Thank you so much

Anthony June 2023

“Spotlessly clean and comfortable.”

Interior Very tastefully designed.There are no words for the stunning views. Parking was not an issue. Just a couple of minutes away and only costing £1 a day. If we had any suggestions to make a pint of milk would have been great to go with the teabags and biscuits on arrival. Not sure if you could supply a recycling box . Fantastic holiday.

Thank you for the lovely feedback! Property Owner

Alan April 2023

“Delightful cottage in a superb location.”

The view from the windows was a continual delight that constantly changed with the weather and light. The interior is well arranged and fully equipped. Being taller than most people I personally found the sofa rather small, but this was a minor issue. Suffice to say we booked a return visit before we left to come home.

- Alan, April 2023

Thank you for your very lovely feedback! We hope to have a different sofa before you return. Thanks again! Property Owner
Ceri April 2023

“Oversands cottage is the perfect romantic getaway - located close to lovely cafes, restaurants and shops but with that get away from it all vibe.”

The cottage itself is perfect in every way, from the decor and layout to the equipment provided in the cottage. We couldn't find a single fault and had an amazing break. I am missing my morning coffee with that special view

- Ceri, April 2023

Oh thank you so much! We love it too. You are welcome back anytime! ♥️ Property Owner

Leonard March 2023

“Beautiful location with stunning views across Morecambe Bay.”

The cottage is ideal for a couple, with good modern facilities and a clean fresh decor. The only gripe would be the shower door does not close properly allowing water to escape onto the bathroom floor. It needs fixing. The shower head is also loose and liable to droop. Apart from that we enjoyed our stay and would happily return.

- Leonard, March 2023

Thank you for your feedback and suggestions. We have replaced the shower hose but the shower door just needs a firm clunk to close fully. We have made a sign. Thanks again Property Owner

“We would highly recommend.”

The View!! Never a two day the same. Good+Bad weather, it is spectacular!! Local town and parks are lush. Fed the birds and was a fab experience. Try it and see for yourself. Windermere, we done the Blue Cruise, 45 mins went by in a flash!! Thyme Coffee House does lovely greek food, coffee pot doea a lovely filipino menu too. The quality and decor is second to none. It's so beautiful everything you need and more!! Sofa not the most comfortable and kitchen blind from outside in dark very see through, but other than that, Perfect!!

Karen and Martin Cooper Oct 2022

“What can we say ' The Wow Factor', everything about this beautiful cottage is perfect, the location, the view, and decor, The walk.”

Such a wonderful place, i've knitted a cartigan while I've been here. Recommended places: The local coffee houses, the shops so friendly and well stocked. The car park is a must, we used the app to pay before 8am each morning. We went to slimmers world in town too. Well done on creating the most perfect holiday home. You've thought of everything. Amazing, Perfect, Wonderful - please can we come again. Thank you.

- Karen and Martin Cooper, Oct 2022
Angela Oct 2022

“Favourite Moments: The View!”

The sunsets; the sunrises, watching the tide come in. Strolling along the promenade. The peace. Friendly shop staff. very helpful too. Spa treatments @ The Netherwood. Recommended Places: Obviously Higginsons Sausages and pies! Barista Brothers near Higginsons. Best Coffee! Park at Hampsfell Road car park and register; you can then pay on your phone each morning.. Sit with your brew/wine/watever and soak in that stunningly beautiful view. Thank you for sharing this wonderful space. Cant wait to come back.

- Angela, Oct 2022
Martin September 2022

“Property is amazing, picture windows exactly as shown on the site - although it would be nice if the tide came fully in a little more often but not much we can do about nature.”

Perfect escape for a couple with everything you need. Parking is fine if you donwload the app and then re-book before 9am on the day with 8hours stay, costs just £1.10. Have suggested an add to the description that there's also a freezer as well as a fridge as it helped us when we got there. We'll be visiting again I'm sure

- Martin, September 2022

Thanks! Great idea about the freezer. Hadn’t thought. We’d be very pleased to welcome you back anytime! Thanks again Property Owner
Angela September 2022

“What a privilege to have stayed at this wonderful cottage.”

The cottage itself was very comfortable & very well equipped. Slight problem with the heating but this was quickly resolved by the lovely owner. Having no parking is a slight inconvenience as I have some mobility issues but honestly, the setting of this cottage & the magnificent views, sunrises & sunsets more than make up for any inconvenience. The cottage is very well placed for access to good restaurants, small & unique shops & three excellent convenience stores. I was very sad to leave Oversands Cottage but I will be back.

- Angela, September 2022

An absolute joy to meet you. Thank you for looking after our little house so well and for your understanding with the heating. Good luck with the book! X Property Owner

“Tall people like myself may knock lights when stand up of the couch , only 3 ...”

Tall people like myself may knock lights when stand up of the couch , only 3 downsides to the place was as follows Lights in awkward position on TV and not a main light in kitchen No door in bedroom so can hear both tvs if 1 is chilling in lounge 1 in bedroom And toilet is to close to shower the door hits toilet if not careful to shower Overall peace was fantastic just minor issues , I would reccomend yes I will be back but funds now come to play

David July 2022

“Excellent property, wonderful views over bay, centrally located whilst not suffering from any related noise.”

Would recommend use of cheap trains to visit Lancaster and Morecambe. Station can be reached in 10 minutes along promenade. Digital TV signal is intermittent but all main channels available on TV through BBC i player, ITV Hub etc Will definitely return.

- David, July 2022

We’re so pleased you had a lovely stay. Thank you for the lovely review and feedback about the TV! Will definitely look into that. We very much look forward to welcoming you back Property Owner
Jerry and Tori Jul 2022

“The wonderful everchangingviews.”

Looking out of the window is like viewing a moving painting which is continually being changed by the artist this was our favourite moment. The walk up Hampsfell is to be recommended, the views in all directions are specacular. If you are here for a week it is worth buying the Friday parking pass (currently £35.10) this then allows parking in most other SLDC car parks such as Ambleside, Windermere, Grasmere etc. Dont miss a stroll along the promenade. Beautifully laid out property. We feel lucky to have booked it early and got it at such a good price! A fabulous property and location.

- Jerry and Tori, Jul 2022
Mr and Mrs Gaskell Jul 2022

“The peace and quiet that we so desperately needed!”

! Great restful and relaxing times! We love the cottage and the panoramic views. We recommend going for long walks down the beach and promenade! Enjoyed all the gardens and parks in the area! All very neat and tidy. Thank you for a fabulous place! We'll be coming back, definitely! We loved every minute of it! Very sad that we have to go!!!

- Mr and Mrs Gaskell, Jul 2022
Walton Jul 2022

“Favorite moments were relaxing watching the wildlife, and people walking, admiring the cottage from the promenade.”

WAS AMAZING. Recommended things to do: Peal Island, boat trip was not expensive, island pub was oldy wordly, walk round castle was lovely. Nice to support local businesses. They also do seal trip which we didnt get time to do, but will certainly do next time. All I can say is fabulous, what a great place for the romantic get away. TIme watching the birds and tides was amazing. WOuld defo come back in spring for the amazing tides, thank you so much.

In the contemporary kitchen, you will find everything you need to create romantic dinners for two, as well as a washing machine to keep your hiking gear clean. Dine al fresco in your private, gravelled patio at sunset or inside at the table for two where you will still benefit from the incredible views as you toast to your romantic getaway. After a day of excitement, snuggle up on the cushioned sofa in front of the TV for a quiet evening. The double bedroom, which has been tastefully designed with hanging space, a stylish dressing table, and a wall-mounted TV, has been design with relaxation in mind. For added comfort, the en-suite shower room offers a walk-in shower and a heated towel rail where you can unwind after a long day.

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.
