Westmorland Cottage

A lovely accommodation in an ideal location for families with or without a dog.

We would certainly book again

Lovely cottage that was a surprise pick!

We had to transfer from the cottage we originally booked but were not disappointed by our last minute choice. The only thing missing for us in this almost perfect cottage is an open fire or log burner but that’s a personal choice that doesn’t suite everyone. Everything is thought about, it’s a lovely cosy place and there’s simple and informative instruction for everything provided.

Lovely cottage in a great location with easy access to the promenade.

Had everything we needed and we enjoyed sitting in the sun on the roof terrace. Plenty of private parking space too.

I had a lovely stay at Westmoreland Cottage.

The kitchen had everything you could want or need. The beds were so comfortable. Milly loved the walks. Thank you.

Unfortunately the cottage had a leak prior to our visit which left mould on the dining room wall and limited lighting When I formed the owners acted on this the day before our trip was due to end.

The placing of the cottage is ideal for exploring Grange, near the promenade for long leisurely dog walks.

The cottage was lovely but the only downside is that it wasn’t very clean.

Our dog dribbled some water on the kitchen floor which I wiped up with kitchen roll and the floor was really dirty. We had to clean the stairs up to the outside terrace which were fairly treacherous and we had to wipe the tables three times before they were clean. The garden was unusable as it was so overgrown but the was remedied on our last day. We went out for the day and couldn’t park our cars as the window cleaner had parked their van so we had to park on the very narrow road outside, couldn’t the window cleaner come when the cottage was empty? The dining table also had to be wiped before using. The cottage itself was lovely and the surroundings were gorgeous, it was lovely sat out on the terrace in the evenings, it was just a shame about the cleanliness.

Lovely cottage with a rustic feel great for when you have the kids and the dog

I had to start to clean the property on arrival as large spider webs on the hall windows.

very dissappointing when you have soent 5 hrs travelling. Also needed to clean 2 bedrooms and the upstairs Bathroom. All kitchen units were dirty and stains, stained glasses as well. All the rooms were dusty and general not cleaned well. I have taken images to show the owner if required in one of the bedrooms, as hairs and rubbish were left in the draws that I had to clean & further disinfect before I could place my clothes in there. Bathroom upstairs again I have images of the dirt & dust. This is a nice property, let down by the cleaning.

Lovely accommodation.

Couldn't secure a couple of the sash windows because locks were broken. Downstairs lounge window could be opened from outside and access made easy to cottage. Unfortunately they started digging up and resurfacing Cart Lane during our stay but we were out and about everyday so didn't cause too much inconvenience.

This property was beautifully furnished, very comfortable and clean.

Lovely view overlooking the sea, especially from the roof terrace. Owner on hand by email to make sure everything was OK, nothing too much trouble.

This was our annual extended family holiday.

The cottage is ideally placed for visiting relatives, the Lakes and Arnside Knott. The facilities are good , the rooms spacious and the top patio is excellent for morning cups of tea and evening views across the sands. The shops are not close but are a pleasant walk away along the promenade. We have stayed at six different holiday cottages in the area over the years and this one was the best. And the weather was good.

A superb property that felt like a home from home immediately.

Very clean and beautifully presented with everything you could need for a week away. The location is perfect and very quiet so you can just relax. Great walks along the promenade or onto the Sands. Without doubt we will return.

We shunned Spain for the sunnier Lake District.

We spent the hottest week of the summer in the coolest cottage in Grange over Sands. The cottage was everything we hoped for and more. Booking was easy and the owners were in touch before our journey with helpful advice and directions. The cottage was a delight. Beautifully set out and equipped. Kitchen and lounge were lovely. Everything we needed. The second fridge was a real bonus in the hot weather. Spotlessly clean, the bedrooms, linen and towels were first class. Wet room good for quick showers too. Hot water and pressure again excellent. We didn’t use the dishwasher although there is one in the kitchen. We travel light so were able to do a couple of washings in the machine which had clear instructions, quick eco wash which left the laundry almost dry. Came home with a clean case! Outside space was lovely, rooftop terrace was really good for drinks and eating and had brilliant views over the water. The railway line is near the house but we enjoyed seeing the infrequent trains pass by and it did not disturb in the least. Back garden secluded and was ideal for chilling, reading a book and setting up the disposable barbecues we brought with us. There is a brilliant butcher and baker shop in the village. The nearby train stations made it really easy for day trips and we hardly used the car at all but managed to visit several place and still be back for late lunch. We were prepared for a longer walk into Grange over Sands but it was much closer than we thought and we were there in 15 mins easily at a leisurely pace along the prom. Great views over the estuary from the promenade and the house. The neighbours were all friendly and said good morning which was nice. Very quiet at night which was also good for sleeping, which we did professionally. All in all a brilliant week. We’d love to come back in the future. And we got a really good price as we booked almost last minute! Thanks for a lovely break. Robert

The cottage was perfect for us.

It was very well-furnished and easy to relax in. We ate in the kitchen most of the time but the dining room was lovely for special meals. The garden and roof terrace with estuary views were very much appreciated. The nearby prom was a pleasure to walk along with the changing light and water levels.

A lovely spacious property with stunning views from the rooftop terrace which we enjoyed.

It’s in a great location with a lovely walk along the promenade into Grange. Handy for exploring the coastline and day trips into the Lakes. Very well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds and everything you need for your stay.

We could not ask for anything better.

The property is immaculately kept, everything needed for a stay is provided and instructions on how to operate everything is provided. The owners made personal contact to offer general advice on the property and the area and provide support for the stay, which was very much appreciated. The location and size of the property is fantastic for a family and Sykes Cottages have been very helpful in all correspondence. We would definitely recommend this cottage and in fact are looking at when we may next book some time here.

Great cottage, plenty of space and in a lovely location with views.

Owners super helpful with info requests

We enjoyed a week in this well located property.

It lived up to its description and the facilities were more than adequate for our stay. The walk into Grange along the Salt Marsh path and Promenade was welcome exercise. The parking and the WiFi are a great benefit

The driveway is quite difficult to get into.

Its off a narrow lane on a hill and just off a sharp corner.

The house is easy to find and location is beautifully quiet.

Walking distance into grange. Lovely and clean all facilities supplied. Plenty of excellent cooking pots and pans although we did bring our own big mugs as I love a large cup of tea. Grange has enough facilities take you own tennis rackets etc and you can play for free down on the promenade after 4.30. We’ll located for access to Windermere, Grizedale forest. Just make sure you pre book any activities you want to do up front before you go as it’s very busy post covid. Excellent pub the pheasant in Allithwaite next village 2 mile away.

The cottage is beautiful, it was wonderfully clean and the beds were super comfortable.

The location is amazing with great views, especially from the terrace, of the ever changing Morecambe Bay. It’s a short walk from Grange and a 20 minute drive to Windermere so the perfect base for walking. The cottage is equipped with everything you need and very quickly felt like a home from home - I would definitely recommend it, it was perfect for a family and a dog!

Not quite by a seaside.

Access to the garden was a challenge and if you had young children almost dangerous to go up and down the external steps.

Spacious rooms and enclosed rear garden.

Plenty of parking, decent size TV. Good showers.
