“We have stayed with lakelovers for the last few years.”

The cleanliness of the property this year what not up to the standard we have come to expect and this was a shame. I hope standards return. Otherwise another lovely stay.

“Grange Lodge was very nice but it needs a clothes line as the tumble dryer doesn’t dry clothes too well.”

There is not enough seating in the living room to seat 6 adults comfortably but there is space for more comfy seating to be provided. Bed mattresses are very soft which are not my preference but were loved by others in my family. It was generally very clean and comfortable and we had a very enjoyable week. We were even able to charge our hybrid car by passing the charging cable through the main bedroom window to the drive outside, which was very handy.

“Grange Lodge was perfect for our family holiday.”

It is in a great location, near shops, bars and restaurants but also quiet with a beautiful garden and a short walk from the lake and all the available activities there. It is accessible and easy to get to all the walks and climbs in the Lakes from the lodge. The Lodge itself is one of the best self catering accommodations that we've stayed in, every possible piece of kitchen equipment was provided, lots of plates, glasses, utensils etc. with some nice touches such as the Bath House soap and hand lotions, the welcome coffee/tea basket and books, games and magazines. We were lucky that the weather was good enough for us to sit outside in the garden, even managing a barbecue one evening. We will definitely return to stay at Grange Lodge again.

“Grange Lodge was fantastic, a beautiful property in a great location with picturesque views from the lounge.”

The garden was huge and we were lucky to enjoy it on most days thanks to the Lake District weather. The property was extensive with plenty of space and well equipped with everything you could possibly need for your stay.

“Great location - good access on foot down to the lakeshore.”

Short walk to Windermere with local supermarket and good walk into Bowness on Windermere. House in a quiet location and really well equipped - big windows onto the great garden made for a chilled time - even better with the log burner. Big dining table never used as kitchen table more than adequate. Great base with some good walks from the door as well as short drives to a range of places - Gummers How, Rydal, Ambleside, Glenridding for some memorable walks.
