• "The welcome pack was a bit sparse; how can you make a cup of tea after a long journey and late arrival without any milk?"

  A pint left in the fridge would have been most welome. Also previous guests received some wine. A washing up bowl would have been useful to save overuse of water. Small points iknow but otherwise our stay was perfect. Many thanks

• "We've stayed at Oversands Cottage twice now and will definitely return again."

  It's a beautifully organised and easy place to stay in with stunning views over the Estuary at any time of year. A real gem!

  How lovely! I’m sorry I didn’t know you were a returning guest! Always an absolute pleasure to have such lovely guests. Thank you Property Owner

• "Very clean and tidy."

  Garden needed weeding but didn't spoil anything. I had concerns regarding the heavy glass lamp shade suspended directly over our heads while sleeping, secured only by a thin electric cable. If that was to break whilst we were asleep the consequences might be disastrous. This aside, we really enjoyed our stay.

• "Wow, wow, Oversands cottage is absolutely beautiful inside and out."

  The views from the property are stunning, overlooking Morecambe bay. It is in a great location within a short walking distance from the amenities eg shops and eateries and perfect base for visiting the surrounding lakes etc. 10/10 and would definitely stay again and recommend.

  Thank you so much. Lovely feedback is so very appreciated Property Owner

• "Outstanding views from property could not be bettered."

  For an older couple we found the walk to the car park a lot more than the 3 minutes quoted and quite hilly, plus the fact that if you wanted the £1-10 per day rate you had to do this by 9am,much better to use an app which will cost around £30 per week.which we did. Promenade listed should mention that cars cannot enter the prom but there are pay and display areas for parking.Settee uncomfortable and plastic chairs unpleasant complete vwith poor interior lighting which meant reading was difficult. Kitchen lighting was poor . It is a great shame that the interior lacks the outstanding views of the property More suited to a younger couple

• "All excellent."

  The only small thing i could suggest is that the window of the door does let a lot of light in so would be better if that could be blocked off with a blind or something. Outside views are great and kitchen well equipped.

• "This property lifts our spirits as it is beautiful, with large windows from both the lounge and the bedroom to soak up the amazing views."

  We just feel so chilled when we are there. We have already booked again for next year, which says a lot as we rarely go back to the same place.

• "Oversands Cottage has wonderful views over Morecambe Bay."

  It has been finished to a high standard and is well equipped and maintained. Grange itself has a lovely friendly village feel, and there are some wonderful shops within a few minutes walk. We chose it for the views, hardly using the sofa as we were glued to the window watching the ever changing sea scape and bird life. It has been a great base for trips out as far as Muncaster Castle, Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway and Coniston Water. Locally, there are many good walks and nature reserves within a few miles and of course there is the lovely walk along the promenade. Sadly our plans to use the railway were derailed - literally, but perhaps we can use that as a reason to come back and enjoy it all over again.

• "This is a beautifully presented property, well equipped and thoughtfully laid out in the space."

  The views are lovely and the proximity to the town centre makes it very convenient for restaurants, cafes and shops, but with good access to the sights and walks of the South Lakes area. However, it's position sandwiched between the railway line and the busy main road to Barrow means it is rather noisy, which detracts somewhat from the tranquil bay views

• "Amazing space."

  Spotlessly clean, warm and cozy; comfortable bed and excellent shower. Having grown up opposite train tracks I loved hearing and seeing the mainline trains go past the property. I was delighted when a rainy day gave us an excuse to stay in the cosy warm and admire the wonderful views across the bay. Would highly recommend this property and hope to return ourselves.

  The promenade walk and view of the bay is stunning and the cottage is so clean and cosy! Would highly recommend for a short peaceful break :)

• "Staying in Oversands Cottage was an absolutely amazing experience - we have never been in a place with such beautiful views straight out of the window - the full glory of the magnificent Morecambe Bay, the morning sunrises, and the famous tides, and the wildlife watching."

  This is location like no other. To add, the cottage itself is beautiful, with lovely comfy touches, full of light, and any amenity required for your comfort. A lovely unique place architecturally, and a perfect base to experience Lake District. Spotlessly clean. We would most definitely love to come back - this stay was such a treat!

  Thank you so much. An absolute pleasure to see your pictures. You are of course very welcome back! Xx Property Owner

• "Oversands Cottage is so comfortable and well equipped."

  It is decorated and accessorized so thoughtfully. It lacks nothing. The views from the picture window over the bay are truly amazing and beautiful. We took so many photos at sunrise and sunset and everything in between. Although there is no on site parking it really wasn’t an issue. We parked in Hampsfell car park ( a very short and easy walk) and paid £5 for the week, which has to be done daily but that is so easy and I enjoyed the short walk. There are lovely walks along the promenade. We will definitely be looking to return next year. We contacted Sykes to add an extra night and they contacted the owner, who quoted a price of £75. That was reasonable and acceptable. Unfortunately Sykes decided they wanted to charge £30 admin fee to simply add 1 night to an existing booking, for which we had already paid a booking fee. That is 40%. Extortionate. So we chose to not book. So a lose lose for all concerned.

  Thank you for your lovely feedback. So glad you enjoyed your stay. I’m so sorry about that extra fee! I had no idea. I agree it wasn’t reasonable. Property Owner

  Central to all that Grange over Sands has to offer. We found it to be compact, very clean and welcoming to a very pleasant stay. The views over Morecombe Bay are breathtaking, from the sun rising to sunset and of course the obundance of wildlife. An unforgetable stay, highly recomended.

• "Beautiful location with stunning views across Morecambe Bay."

  The cottage is ideal for a couple, with good modern facilities and a clean fresh decor. The only gripe would be the shower door does not close properly allowing water to escape onto the bathroom floor. It needs fixing. The shower head is also loose and liable to droop. Apart from that we enjoyed our stay and would happily return.

  Thank you for your feedback and suggestions. We have replaced the shower hose but the shower door just needs a firm clunk to close fully. We have made a sign. Thanks again Property Owner

  Perfect escape for a couple with everything you need. Parking is fine if you donwload the app and then re-book before 9am on the day with 8hours stay, costs just £1.10. Have suggested an add to the description that there's also a freezer as well as a fridge as it helped us when we got there. We'll be visiting again I'm sure

  Thanks! Great idea about the freezer. Hadn’t thought. We’d be very pleased to welcome you back anytime! Thanks again Property Owner

  The cottage itself was very comfortable & very well equipped. Slight problem with the heating but this was quickly resolved by the lovely owner. Having no parking is a slight inconvenience as I have some mobility issues but honestly, the setting of this cottage & the magnificent views, sunrises & sunsets more than make up for any inconvenience. The cottage is very well placed for access to good restaurants, small & unique shops & three excellent convenience stores. I was very sad to leave Oversands Cottage but I will be back.

  An absolute joy to meet you. Thank you for looking after our little house so well and for your understanding with the heating. Good luck with the book! X Property Owner

  Looking out of the window is like viewing a moving painting which is continually being changed by the artist this was our favourite moment. The walk up Hampsfell is to be recommended, the views in all directions are specacular. If you are here for a week it is worth buying the Friday parking pass (currently £35.10) this then allows parking in most other SLDC car parks such as Ambleside, Windermere, Grasmere etc. Dont miss a stroll along the promenade. Beautifully laid out property. We feel lucky to have booked it early and got it at such a good price! A fabulous property and location.
