Miss Read

“Cleanliness was not great as per usual with all Lakelovers cottages.”

No welcome pack, not even a pint of milk. If owned this property I would be disgusted with the response from the Lakelovers teams. Cottages.com are far superior. Took 3 days and 3 plumbers visits to sort out a major water leak running into the mains electrics. We could not shower or bath for 3 days. Totally ruined our holiday and had no compensation at all!

On the 15th November the property was inspected by Visit England and gained 100% score for Cleanliness, as no other party had been in the cottage until the guests the comments over cleanliness are surprising. As we can't pre judge a guests requirements on things like milk (dairy or non dairy) bread (gluton free, granary, wholemeal etc) and beverages we decided to not give a tradition welcome pack to avoid food waste. We keep the property upto date with fixtures and fittings and decorations to give guests the most comfortable stay possible. The water leak from the bath which the guest refers to was not evident when we were at the property one week prior to the guest, however once the leak was reported we asked the plumber to attend, within 36 hours two visits were made to fix the leak. Apoligies were made, it was felt our prompt response was activated and the issue was solved. The concern about water leaking into main electrics was also explained to them as the light fitting in question was a sealed unit approved for wet areas and tested along with the other electrics and certificates issued accordingly. The guests wished to move out earlier then their contract time and we agreed to allow them to terminate their contract with no extra costs. The guests chose to stay an extra 2 nights after this offer was made. Their comments about Lakelovers is something we have not experienced as either clients or customers of the group." Property Owner

“We found Hedgehog Hideaway to be absolutely as described and a quiet, comfortable and very well equipped cottage.”

What a wonderful stay in a great location! Thank you! Chris & Celine.

“Gorgeous cottage with a very high spec.”

“The garden was advertised as enclosed however it wasn’t which meant we had to take our dog on a lead to use it if he needed the toilet.”

Apart from that everything was fantastic and the cottage was in a perfect location to get out and explore the lakes.

- Mr Hawkins, August 2021

Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate your observations which we have looked into. The advertised description for the garden states 'private', we are sorry you have misread this as enclosed. To help future guests we have added a note to advise the private garden isn't totally enclosed. Thank you once again for your feedback and we hope to see you again in the future Property Owner

“Hedgehog Hideaway was like the Tardis, much bigger on the inside than it appeared to be from the description.”

From entering the cottage (by the sign saying Broomhill Cottage) the downstairs just seemed to keep going. A cosy sitting room led from the hall, then a short corridor led past the utility room and downstairs cloakroom to the kitchen. The kitchen had virtually everything that you needed, with plenty of worktop space, a large dining table and a sofa by the stable door. The bedrooms have were smaller, but comfortable, and the bathroom was sleek, with a very powerful shower. Outside, the garden was a suntrap with benches in 3 different places to catch the sun. It would be necessary to supervise young children as it is not totally enclosed. Although the cottage is on one of the main roads in the village it is still quiet. We would quite happily return to this cottage.

“Amazing cottage.”

We wanted for nothing. If there was anything anyone had forgotten, Hedgehog Hideaway had it in a drawer or cupboard ready for you eg Tin foil, dog bowl, toilet roll, the list is endless. Beautiful garden as well.

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.

Short breaks available at certain times, please ask for details.
