“Excellent property with thoughtful extras which helped make the stay very comfortable.”

A very convenient location to explore the South Lakes.

A very convenient location to explore the South Lakes.

William September 2024

“We know the northern end of the Lake District well but had not previously explored the southern end.”

Kents Bank made a very convenient base, and the apartment provided comfortable accommodation for our needs. It is spacious, quiet, private and very well equipped and furnished. Comfy beds, big fluffy towels, masses of wardrobe space, easy to use appliances. Communications were excellent - thanks in particular to the owners and to Sykes for warning us of a local road closure (although it did not affect access to Kents Bank House). Tim from The Dobsons agency was just packing up when we arrived and gave a lot of useful advice - including recommending a visit to Ulverston, which is delightfully quirky. Grange over Sands is charming, and very friendly (well, we are in the North here...). Particular recommendations - Higginsons butchers, Fletchers' greengrocers, Choco-Lori. The walk into town is a bit longer and more strenuous than we anticipated - but the train brings you back practically to the doorstep!

- William, September 2024

Thank you William for your great feedback and so pleased you enjoyed your stay at Kents Bank House. It is very well positioned for visiting the South Lakes. We hope you are able to visit Grange again soon. Property Owner
Maureen August 2024

“Lovely property with everything needed for a holiday.”

Such friendly neighbours - we forgot to bring dishes for the dog but when we were chatting to a neighbour and asked where we could buy some, she offered to lend us them. Would highly recommend.

- Maureen, August 2024
Veronica July 2024

“Kents Bank is a lovely place to stay.”

The property itself has everything you need and Hazel is quick to welcome you to the area and gives you some great local history. We would highly recommend the Royal Oak at Lindale for some fantastic food and Flounders fish and Chips are superb! Really handy to jump on the train at Kent’s Bank with it being on your doorstep, as well as plenty of walking routes and places to drive to that aren’t far away. We would highly recommend a walk up to Hampsfell Hospice as the views are amazing. And it’s a lovely short walk alongside the train track into Grange and you should find everything you need. We had such lovely weather whilst we’re there that we had to walk over the grasses to the sands and managed to see a wonderful sunset over the hills above the property. The bedroom cupboards could do with airing, but most definitely only a minor issue. We would highly recommend staying here and hope to be back in the future!

- Veronica, July 2024
Amanda July 2024

“What a lovely apartment this is.”

Has everything you need and more. Set in a perfect location, peaceful and close to many locations and the train station on your door step if you fancy a day out without driving. Will certainly be returning. Thanks for a lovely stay.

- Amanda, July 2024

Thank you Amanda for your wonderful feedback. Really pleased you had a lovely stay and found the apartment to have everything needed in a perfect, peaceful location. We look forward to you returning soon. Property Owner

Gwyneth February 2024

“Excellent first floor apartment in lovely quiet location, with easy access to Grange over Sands and surrounding area.”

On day 2 of a 3 night break, we just had to book to come back in the Summer. The apartment offers quality fixtures/fittings and furnishings throughout and was lovely and warm. A lovely walk from the doorstep to Grange over Sands, with the option to travel back by train to Kents Bank station opposite. Excellent food at the Cavendish Arms in nearby Cartmel. No hesitation in recommending to others.

- Gwyneth, February 2024

Thank you Gwyneth for your great feedback. Really pleased you found Kents Bank warm, well appointed and in a convenient location for exploring the lake District. Thank you for booking to again and we look forward to you returning soon. Property Owner

Lovely views over the bay and very handy to have two private parking spaces.

- James, January 2024

Thank you, Jamie for your great feedback it is much appreciated. Really pleased you found the property extremely well equipped and clean. Kents Bank House does have wonderful views over the bay. We look forward to you returning soon. Property Owner
David November 2023

“Comfortable, warmly heated, spacious rooms, well equipped property with a lovely view of the bay.”

In a quiet location but with easy train access across the road and only 40min walk with good views into Grange-Over-Sands. We would use again and recommend. Only disappointment was that the lounge TV signal would not pick up Netflix or Prime which would have been ideal relax the odd time in the dark, cold evenings after long days out.

- David, November 2023

Thank you David for your great feedback and so pleased you found the apartment comfortable, warm and well equipped. Kents Bank is situated in super area with lovely walks near by. We are sorry to hear you had a problem accessing Netflix and Prime, if we had known we could of quickly resolved this for you. We hope you are able to visit again soon and thank you for recommending Kents Bank. Property Owner
Les October 2023

“As always excellent.”

8 Kents Bank is always our “Go to place to stay” whenever we visit the lakes, it is without doubt the place to stay, home from home.

- Les, October 2023

Thank you Les for your 100% feedback it is much appreciated. So pleased you stayed again and found Kents Bank excellent and your home from home. We hope you can visit again soon. Property Owner
Susan October 2023

“We loved our stay at this beautiful, well-equipped and spotlessly clean holiday apartment.”

It is the perfect place to relax, unwind and escape the stresses of life. The gardens are very pretty and the lovely little 'Kents Bank' railway station across the road adds the perfect touch. The bus to Kendal also stops outside the apartments. Grange-over-Sands itself is an elegant town overlooking the magnificent sands of Morecambe Bay. With the fascinating village of Cartmel just two miles away and Lake Windermere just 15 miles away, visitors cannot fail to be impressed with this perfect holiday location. We would not hesitate to recommend this delightful holiday apartment. The owners welcome their guests with a bottle of Prosecco and make sure they have every comfort during their stay. Sue, Andy & Josh Vickers

- Susan, October 2023

Thank you Susan for your informative and great feedback, it is very much appreciated. Really pleased you found the apartment beautiful, well equipped and spotlessly clean. Thank you for recommending the apartment to future guests and we hope you can visit again soon. Property Owner
John September 2023

“Everything about this apartment was perfect except that my wife saw a bug in her bed the morning after she had slept in it.”

We then found that we had both been bitten during the night. We tried to get somebody to come and see the beds and our bites which were now quite inflamed but no one would come. We cut our stay short as we had no where to sleep. When we got home we contacted Sykes it was a Sunday and they promised to ring us back but never did. When I eventually got in touch with with Sykes they were not interested in speaking to us and only wanted the owners version of events. We have lots of photos of our bites and we will be contacting environmental health as this property should not be let until it has been thoroughly fumigated

- John, September 2023

Thank you for you comments which we believe are unjustified and inaccurate. You have told us that while out on Saturday, in the middle of the afternoon, you noticed bites. You have stated that you did not return to our property until the late evening. The photographs you have provided appear to be consistent with mosquito bites. We have been advised by experts in the area that the climatic conditions in Grange have been favourable for mosquitoes in recent weeks. We contacted you on Sunday morning but you were unable to take our call. We provided you with a detailed email on Sunday evening and offered to follow-up with further information. On Monday, as a precaution, we spent the entire day at the property undertaking thorough checks, all of which confirmed that our high standards are being maintained at the property. These checks included a visit from a Pest Control expert whose subsequent written report has concluded that there is no evidence of any issues. This information, together with much more, has been provided to Sykes Cottages. We will be delighted to provide any public body with access to the property to check our high standards which are reflected by other guest reviews published here. All reviews in September, including the guests who departed the day you arrived, awarded 8 Kents Bank House with 5 Star ratings. Property Owner
Gill September 2023

Joanne July 2023

“As this was our fourth visit to Kent’s Bank, I think it is obvious that we like it very much.”

In fact, we would like to live here permanently. The property is immaculately clean, comfortable and has everything you need for a wonderful stay. We have already booked to come back again!

- Joanne, July 2023

Thank you Joanne for your great feedback and really pleased you found Kents Bank House to have everything you need for your holiday. We are delighted you have been able to stay at the property once again and that you will be returning soon. Property Owner

“Another fantastic family weekend at 8 Kents Bank House.”

This is the 2nd time we have stayed here and yet again we weren’t disappointed. Beautiful property, spotlessly clean, every amenities you need. Even something simple as dish washer tablets supplied for the weekend. We will definitely be staying here again, hopefully sometime this year.

- Nicola, February 2023

Brian December 2022

“All good”

- Brian, December 2022
Ann November 2022

“Second visit to stay at this property, and the feedback is the same as last year.”

... perfect!! The apartment is so comfortable, spotlessly clean, and the location is just right for exploring around and about. Lots of lovely walks, right on the doorstep, small train station and bus stop just across the road. Far enough out of Grange-Over-Sand for the location to be off the tourist grid and nice and quiet, but near enough to walk into the town. Already looking to book Kents Bank again for next year.

- Ann, November 2022

Thank you, Ann, for your great feedback it is much appreciated. Really pleased you had a super week again at Kents Bank and we look forward to you returning next year! Property Owner
Michael October 2022

“8 Kents Bank House is a superb location for meeting up with friends for a long weekend, just a shame we didn't have longer, it was so good, we wouldn't hesitate to book again.”

The apartment is very quiet, well-quipped and nicely furnished with quality fixtures and fittings. It's spotless and well looked after, in fact all was beyond expectation. The railway nearby is a bonus, a short train ride along to Arnside and a walk over Arnside Knott was the highlight of the weekend. Hampsfell is a spectacular walk from the door with many cafes and restaurants on the return route through Grange. All of Grange is within easy walking distance of Kents Bank, taking in the views of Morecambe Bay along the way. The excellent Pheasant Inn at Allithwaite, so good we went twice, is walking distance too, we didn't need to use the cars during our stay. Would love to do it all again.

- Michael, October 2022

Thank you, Michael for your great feedback it is much appreciated. Really pleased you enjoyed your stay at Kents Bank House and found everything to a high standard. We look forward to you returning soon. Property Owner
Marilyn September 2022

“We had a wonderful week at this lovely apartment in a very quiet area & the convenience of a nearby train station.”

It was spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated and had all the equipment we needed for our stay. The beds and settees were very comfortable too making our week very relaxing. Excellent communication with Liz, the owner. We would have no hesitation in recommending this lovely apartment & hope to return in the future.

- Marilyn, September 2022

Thank you, Marilyn, for your great feedback it is much appreciated. Really pleased you had a super week at Kents Bank and we look forward to you returning soon. Property Owner
Dawn August 2022

“Kents Bank House is the perfect base for a holiday in Cumbria.”

The facilities are excellent- fully equipped kitchen, lovely showers and very comfy beds. Comfy and large sofa to watch netflix for a film in the evening when you are recovering from walking all day. Couldn't fault our stay!

- Dawn, August 2022

Thank you Dawn for staying at Kents Bank House and really pleased you found the facilities excellent. It was certainly a fabulous week weather wise and a beautiful time to visit the Lake District. We appreciate you taking the time to write a review and hope you can come back to visit again soon. Property Owner
Lydia August 2022

“The accommodation was lovely everything you need.”

Beds were comfy and the rooms were lovely and bright . Location was lovely and close to amenities. Pub a mile away. Only negative, would of been nice to have a welcome pack on arrival. It mentioned in the welcome email a complimentary bottle of wine for putting the bins out ., but no wine was left. Otherwise highly recommended.

- Lydia, August 2022

Thank you Lydia for staying at Kents Bank House and we are delighted that you enjoyed being at the property. It is in a fabulous location. Very sorry to hear there was an oversite in not leaving the complimentary bottle of wine out for you. We appreciate you taking the time to write a review and it is much appreciated. We hope you can come back to visit again soon and we will make sure the wine is supplied. Edit Property Owner
John July 2022

“Beautifully presented and located property which was comfortable and well equipped.”

Ample parking and a gorgeous shared garden. Proximity to the railway station provided car free options for getting out and about in the South Lakes area and the 40 minutes walk into grange-over-Sands was very pleasant. Communication from the hosts was first class - if it was possible to award 6 stars, we would!

- John, July 2022

Thank you John for staying at 8 Kents Bank House and we are delighted that you enjoyed being at the property with its beautiful gardens. We appreciate you taking the time to write a review and it is much appreciated. We hope you can come back to visit again soon. Property Owner
Steven July 2022

“Lovely quiet apartment in a superb part of Grange- Over- Sands ideal for train station.”

Beautiful home, only down side for us was our dogs needed a garden the one that was advertised we were not able to let our dogs straight into and it became a chore to have to walk our dogs each time they needed to exercise so probably wouldn't return for that reason.

- Steven, July 2022

Many thanks for your feedback Steven, we are are delighted you liked our apartment and its beautiful location. Sorry that the patio and communal gardens are unsuitable for your dogs we take care to include clear photographs of the private patio garden and the large communal gardens so that guests can see the facilities in advance. The listing highlights that we welcome dogs but they are not permitted on the shared lawns - the good news is there is an excellent walk just across the road that is perfect for pets. The property is situated in a Conservation Area which does not permit fencing to be installed. Thankfully guests appreciate both the view and the tranquillity of communal gardens and, as dog owners ourselves, we are confident this is a great holiday home for a well behaved dog. Property Owner
Darren July 2022

“Excellent property, very clean, comfortable and all the required amenities.”

Loved our stay and would highly recommend. The only comment I would have to the owner is the bin instructions were slightly confusing but that is so so minor…..

- Darren, July 2022

Hi Darren, that's great to hear you enjoyed your stay at Kents Bank House and we look forward to you returning again soon. Many thanks for the feedback it is much appreciated. Property Owner

Easy parking on allocated on site spaces.The house is absolutely spotless-and we are very fussy! Very well furnished and equipped so you dont need to worry about bringing much with you,unlike some places we have stayed. Cant fault it

“Very comfortable and well equipped property in a great position to explore the South Lakes!”

The property was very clean and is tastefully decorated! Will definitely recommend and hopefully return to in years to come!

- Colin, February 2022
Pauline January 2022

“Was a beautiful immaculately clean comfortable place to stay, only thing was getting out by 9.”

00 am is a little bit early an rushed, it would be much better to be at least 10.00am

- Pauline, January 2022

Thank you for your feedback Pauline and delighted you found the apartment so clean and comfortable. We understand that the 9.00am is early and have actually now amended the departure time to 10.00am and arrival time to 16.00. We hope you visit 8 Kents Bank again soon. Property Owner
Kevin January 2022

“We rented this place to catch up with the family away from our busy city life.”

Found this place very comfortable, would recommend.

- Kevin, January 2022
Pauline October 2021

“This is our second time staying at this lovely apartment.”

It is spacious and very comfortable and has all you need for a great stay. It is in a beautiful setting looking across towards Morecambe Bay. Kents Bank station is right opposite the property, and we used the train to travel around as there are lots of lovely places to visit within easy reach. We intend to return next year.

- Pauline, October 2021
Heather October 2021

“Beautiful apartment.”

Comfy beds and settee. Scrupulously clean. Friendly and knowledgeable neighbour Hazel. Owners kind and accommodating .

- Heather, October 2021
Gillian September 2021

“An ideal location.”

- Gillian, September 2021
Michael September 2021

“Thought 5 pm arrival and 9am departure a little bit overkill despite the Covid restrictions etc thought 10am and 4 pm would have been more appropriate, or even 3pm.”

Very disappointing on leaving day to have man knocking impatiently on the door at precisely 9am requesting us to move out! Even on saying we need 5/10 minutes he pointed to his watch and said, rather rudely '9am you should be out' We said dishwasher had not yet finished but that was met with 'I'll do it' we then said we need to put keys away but again it was 'I'll do it' His attitude was appalling so it was a tad disappointing to a very good week!

- Michael, September 2021

Thank you for your feedback. We do have to be sure there is plenty of time for a thorough clean between stays which of course can also depend on how the property is left by the previous guests. The gentleman who arrived from the property management company is well known to the owner and is always polite and courteous so we have never experienced any issues such as yours before. He has explained he was just willing to finish things off so that you did not have to but we are sorry if you were offended at all and would certainly not wish to cause any upset. We are very pleased you had a good stay otherwise. Property Owner
Sylvia September 2021

“Beautiful apartment, very well equipped, very comfortable and a great location.”

Enjoyed every minute of our stay here. It was so quiet and peaceful and set in beautiful gardens. We went out every day to different places and even discovered a wonderful nature reserve. Would definitely stay here again and would definitely recommend.

- Sylvia, September 2021
Julie September 2021

“Had a fantastic stay in this lovely home from home.”

It's in a great location, just a short trip from Grange over Sands, convenient by both car and train with the station just across the road. The accommodation was well equipped and spotlessly clean. The hygiene welcome pack and a lovely bottle of Prosecco were most welcome. On top of everything else we had fantastic weather too. We hope to return to this lovely place.

- Julie, September 2021
John August 2021

“Lovely apartment .”

Everything needed was to hand .We liked the quiet location .

- John, August 2021
Sally July 2021

“Spacious accommodation which has everything that you need , A welcome pack includes antibacterial products and dishwasher tablet to get you started.”

Everything is spotlessly clean and COVID safe. The property is in lovely gardens with your private seating area with lovely views. The flat is spacious enough for six adults as well as family with children. We have visited several times and is a favourite of ours and hope to return soon.

- Sally, July 2021
Michael June 2021

“\Wonderful quiet well-equipped apartment.”

Ideal location just outside Grange-Over-Sands, and with a train station close by. Walks across the flats of Morecambe Bay convenient across the road. Very happy with the property, and would rebook for a future stay.

- Michael, June 2021
Sue May 2021

“Both WC’s require attention unless you push the handle right up water continues to run.”

Our enjoyment was marred by the unfounded accusation that we had damaged the property when in fact due to the meticulous cleaning and care instructions given before arrival we were quite nervous in case of accidents. The white coffee table looked as if coffee had been spilt on the leg not cleaned off which made us laugh. We had not visited the are before and were pleasantly surprised also the train was useful.

- Sue, May 2021
John April 2021

“Everything about our stay was excellent, great accommodation, great location and great weather.”

- John, April 2021
Alison April 2021

“Great base to explore the South Lakes.”

- Alison, April 2021
John October 2020

“Fantastic base to explore not only the lakes but Yorkshire and Lancashire.”

Apartment was ideal, spacious and all mod cons. To be honest I couldn't find fault. Owner was very helpful, even phoned to tell us we could gain access earlier than scheduled and was so apologetic about the one small task of putting the bin out at end of drive, which was no hardship. Thoroughly recommend.

- John, October 2020
Mark August 2020

“A well appointed and equipped apartment.”

Very comfortable and maintained to a very high standard. A great base for 'The Lakes'.

- Mark, August 2020
Helen February 2020

“Beautiful apartment, really spacious and very comfortable.”

Situated opposite Kent's Bank train station which is handy for travelling up the coast. There is no noise from the train station which was our worry. Stunning views across Morecambe Sands and even when the weather is rubbish it is lovely to watch the changing scenery. The area is very steep in places for walking locally but along the promenade it is a lovely walk and would be ideal for bikes. There are plenty of places to visit close by but returning home at the end of the day is perfect with everything you need for a perfect relaxing holiday.

- Helen, February 2020
Jonathan December 2019

“It’s a great place.”

Slightly tricky to find and perhaps a bit more of an info pack at the property would help. However, it was a great place. Disappointed with Sykes as Booked through Quidco cashback was confirmed and then cancelled so will stick to other sites in the future.

- Jonathan, December 2019
Sarah November 2019

“None that I can think of - the description and photographs of the apartment were very accurate.”

It was a very pleasant and comfortable place to stay. We hope to visit again. Thank you.

- Sarah, November 2019

Cannot complain about a single thing. Very conveniently situated for touring the area.

- Anthony, October 2019
Patricia September 2019

“This was our 2nd visit to this property this year.”

We used the £40 voucher you sent us for a second booking. Thank you.

- Patricia, September 2019

“Had a great time - clean, spacious, and well equipped apartment in a location which was quiet, pleasant and well placed for getting out and about in the local area and further afield.”

- Gillian, September 2019
Anna August 2019

“VERY QUIET AND PEACEFUL SPOT,FRIENDLY NEIGHBOURS,HEALTHY WALKS FROM THE APARTMENT, TRAIN IF REQUIRED,GOOD RANGE OF SHOPS IN GRANGE AND EXCELLENT IN KENDAL!”

,PLENTY OF INTERESTING PLACES TO VISIT SUCH AS CONISHEAD PRIORY-MUNCASTER CASTLE AND OLD RATTY RAILWAY,HOLEHIRD GARDENS ARE A GEM! IF YOU FEEL EXTRA ENERGETIC, TRY THE CROSS BAY WALK FROM ARNSIDE TO KENT'S BANK.

- Anna, August 2019
Vicky August 2019

“Lovely apartment.”

Thank you.

- Vicky, August 2019
Patricia June 2019

“Beautiful location.”

Quiet backwater. Right opposite except rain link.

- Patricia, June 2019
Lynn June 2019

“This was a bit of last minute booking but the booking was efficient and communication was instant.”

The apartment was as described and in a lovely location. I wouldn't hesitate in booking another holiday let with Sykes Cottages. The apartment itself was in a quiet location but in good proximity to plenty of attractions. Kents Bank Station directly opposite so good if you want to travel by train . Everything in the apartment was clean and well equipped. We would use this apartment again .

- Lynn, June 2019
Fiona May 2019

“Kent’s Banks house was well equipped, well furnished and more spacious than we had expected with very friendly and welcoming neighbours set in well maintained gardens.”

The only comment which let it down was the lack of sufficient toilet paper and the lack of any sort of welcome pack which for a place of that price, quality and standard would be a nice gesture and easily resolved. Toilet paper and hand soap should be a must.

- Fiona, May 2019
Martin May 2019

“Very nice place, definitely worth the money, very quiet and lovely.”

the reason why just 4* was the missing things, e.g. toilet paper, soap, (coffee or tea for some people as well)

- Martin, May 2019
Chris April 2019

“Stayed at 8 Kents Bank House for 4 nights with my family and family pet.”

Firstly, the accommodation was not a disappointment, it was well equipped and I could not fault the cleanliness of the property. The location is also a bonus as it looks over Morecombe Bay and is right next to Kents Bank train station that allows you to travel to the centre of Grange Over Sands or Cark. This came in very handy when me and my father-in-law went to watch football at the Keg and Kitchen and struggled to find a taxi after the match. Another bonus is that you are only a short car journey to Lakeside and then the rest of Windermere. If you are booking 8 Kents Bank House, I would highly recommend a trip to The Pheasant Inn Allithwaite Rd, Allithwaite, Grange-over-Sands LA11 7RQ, the food and service was excellent and on our 4 day stay over we went twice. Overall, we had a fantastic stay at 8 Kents Bank House and I would highly recommend this accommodation to any of my friends and family and I am sure we will return in the near future.

- Chris, April 2019

“The apartment is within walking distance of the Kents Bank railway station, the kids loved the short train ride into Grange over Sands followed by brunch at Hazelmere.”

Levens Hall had amazing gardens, a great cafe and superb ale. The Hare and Hound pub in Levens had my daughter claim it was one of the best Pizzas she had eaten. The apartment was beautiful, well equipped and comfortable. We will definitely book again in the future.

There was everything that you would have needed in the appartment and the beds super comfy.If you arrive in the evening you need basic supply with you as there are no shops nearby.Will be going back again it was just home from home.

“Lovely weekend away, room spotlessly clean.”

Fabulous location. Would recommend Skye’s Cottages, as the App is very helpful.

“It is hard to capture how pleasant the accommodation is over the Internet.”

The property does not feel like a 'holiday let'. It feels more like a much-loved home that the owner welcomes visitors to stay in while they are away! We even had a visit from a friendly neighbour; happy to tell us about some good places to go to with our dog. Made for a very special Christmas break.

“A truly fabulous apartment with everything you need for a relaxing holiday.”

Everything has been so well planned with comfortable furniture and beds. We found the apartment spotlessly clean. We took our dog with us and floors are tiled in kitchen and dining area so were suitable as well as stylish. Parking for two cars is great as many places do not have that facility. The apartment has beautiful grounds to use with views over the sea. Grange over sand is a delightful place to stay with easy access to Windermere. Our stay was just perfect.

“Really excellent accommodation.”

New, spotlessly clean, spacious and very well equipped to cater for 6 people easily. Ideally placed for the tiny little railway station, literally a 2min walk away :)

“Amazing apartment.”

Really well equipped. All the attractions were pretty close. Beautiful walks nearby. Amenities like Tesco and co op in 1.2 miles. Really helpful neighbours. Beautiful large grassy marshy area for dog to run about and swim just across the road. We didn’t used the train but it links with all the main stations if someone likes to visit by train .

“The only small concern was confusion over the collection of the rubbish.”

The bin was already full when we arrived from the previous occupants, and we missed the collection over confusion of date. This did not spoil a very pleasant stay in a well equipped apartment, but would need looking at to avoid unessesary visitors !!
