    “Third time here, and just love this place The views from the large well placed windows are just fab.”

    Watching lots of birds and watching the bay fill up and empty each day you can't tire of. Some great places to eat in Grange, the Estuary bistro being our favourite, but also great is Thyme, At Home cafe & Bistro, Hazelmere Cafe & Bakery and last but not least the promenade cafe. Train station in Grange is great for getting to places easily, we went to Arnside, Lancaster and Ulverston. Lovely shops in Grange, fantastic butchers and bakers, amazing fresh bakes in both.

    Watching lots of birds and watching the bay fill up and empty each day you can't tire of. Some great places to eat in Grange, the Estuary bistro being our favourite, but also great is Thyme, At Home cafe & Bistro, Hazelmere Cafe & Bakery and last but not least the promenade cafe. Train station in Grange is great for getting to places easily, we went to Arnside, Lancaster and Ulverston. Lovely shops in Grange, fantastic butchers and bakers, amazing fresh bakes in both. A fabulous handmade chocolate shop, they also have a great cafe. The cottage itself is lovely, but, constructive cristisms for the people that manage this place, we felt standards are starting to drop and agree with some other reviews/feedback:- Bedding - although perfectly clean it is looking a little worn, with a couple of small holes. (Bed really comfortable though). Bathroom - there is an odd smell in the bathroom, think this may be down to the mould/black stuff starting to form around the outside of the shower door, and the seat in the shower. This really shouldn't be happening if it is cleaned properly, and treated as soon as it starts. Guests have to check out at 10am, and can't check in until 4pm, so there is plenty of time for a deep clean each week. No toiletries provided other than hand-wash, I'm afraid these days it is expected than showergel and mostriser at the very least is provided, especially at over £100 per night, standard practice now for good quality cottages. There were two toilet rolls though. Welcome pack - no welcome pack, not even a small milk. Again, pretty standard practice now with this standard of cottage (and price), it would be a nice personal touch to have a small welcome pack. There is a large garden umbrella, which is useful in the lovely suntrap front overlooking the bay, however, no base, so we had to cobble something together and attached it to the fence, which did work, but not ideal. Settee - we think it is comfortable, but agree with a previous review that there are marks on it that would come off I think with a good clean. All above said, we do still love this place, it would get a 5 out of 5 plus, if the above were addressed. It is a great romantic couples retreat, so quiet and relaxing, no noisy neighbours. Smart TVs, so you can watch your Netflix/Prime/ITVx etc whilst chilling in the evenings.

The property

Oversands Cottage is a one-of-a-kind, architect-designed cottage in Grange-Over-Sands, Cumbria, with stunning views across Morecambe Bay.

This cottage has been attractively fitted with contemporary conveniences and located close to a public car park and local services, making it a lovely base for two to explore the Lake District National Park.

With far-reaching countryside and coastal vistas as your backdrop, both the inside and outside are equally breath-taking.

Inside, you will find a light-filled open-plan living area with wide windows framing the views, a high ceiling with exposed beams, and Scandinavian-style furniture. 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.

If you can tear yourself away from this peaceful haven, you will find yourself in the centre of Grange-Over-Sands with eateries such as The Estuary Bistro, Sands of Grange, and Butterfingers, as well as local convenience stores.

The train station a short walk away. Start with a stroll down the lovely promenade or the Ornamental Gardens, then pack your clubs for a round of golf at Grange Over Sands Golf Club, or venture farther afield for scenic coastline views from the local train station.

Ambleside, Grasmere, the home of poet William Wordsworth, and the lively market town of Kendal all provide more historic attractions.

Grizedale, with a variety of trails to suit all abilities, is a wonderful place to go for forest walks and cycle routes.

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.
