• "Clean and tidy with a small front garden for our dog to have a run around before bed and in the morning before our walk."

  This property was in an excellent position for shops , takeaways and the local pub (which was dog friendly),most cafes in the town were dog friendly. Minutes for the walk along the prom and the wonderful scenery across the bay. Great views from the from door step as well. Great position also for exploring the Lakes. Comfortable bed, good appliances, and great heating that warmed the apartment quickly and kept it warm. Nice touch with the wine for putting the bins out. If there is one thing just a suggestion that a fridge freshener is put in the fridge as it did smell when we arrived and took a few days to get rid of the smell.

  Will definitely use it again if in the area.Could do with either handrail or shower stool for the older visitors. Or anti slip mat in shower.

• "We had a lovely break with my 90 year old mother in law who has mobility issues."

  She really enjoyed the property. Great cooking facilities and spotlessly clean. We provided our own grab rail for the shower and non slip mat which were a must. Lovely views and great light through the large windows. We had no problem getting our 7 seat Ford Grand Torneo up the drive. Turning was ok as the builders working next door were very thoughtful and didn't park their vehicles until we had left for the day. In any case we found free parking on the road for 1 hour between 8am and 6pm and there was free parking outside of those times. We usually book with Airbnb and found booking through Sykes rather disappointing. For example we were advised to request if we wanted the twin to be made up as a double but then learned from the owner that these were not zip beds. Unnecessary Confusion created by the agent. , highly recommend for a peaceful relaxing break in very comfortable surroundings, great location and helpful owners.

• "This was a very well appointed holiday apartment especially for a dog friendly place."

  The view from the lounge bay window was fabulous. The main bed was as good as our bed at home and very comfortable. Lounge furniture was great and exactly what we wanted on holiday. Our only gripe and its not insignificant was the cleanliness of both the fridge and freezer. I need to keep some medication frozen but had to wash out the drawers in the freezer before putting meds in there. There was a long dark hair in the door of the fridge where I would put bottles. I was able to wash this out so it wasn't an insurmountable problem especially as we had been left cleaning materials. As other people have nentioned there is a very strong unpleasant damp smell coming from the fridge or the open area above it. The remainder of the flat was clean and a pleasure to stay in as well as the garden area which was great for our little dog. We heard very little noise from the upstairs occupants and overall we had a lovely week in 1 Flaxford house.

  Thank you Linda for your feedback. We are really pleased found the apartment well appointed, very comfortable and dog friendly. It was also good to hear that you enjoyed the views. We take the cleaning of our property very seriously and apologise that the fridge and freezer fell short of our usual high standards on this occasion. We are glad our property was a pleasure to stay in and hope you visit us again soon. Property Owner

  At one point there was banging on the floor and we were left wondering if it was their way of telling us that we were loud even though we only had the tv on very low and there was just the 2 of us.

• "Number one Flaxford House is a beautiful Victorian house which has been converted into three apartments."

  The holiday rental is the ground floor and there are times when you are reminded that you have neighbours living above you which if you are not used to this can make it tricky to fully relax. The property is very well maintained furniture and beds are comfortable and it was cleaned to a high standard. Very high standard for a property which allows dogs to stay we have often found dog friendly properties have grubby unloved furniture that is not the case here. The excellent position of the property for views of Grange over Sands and walking access to shops pubs and cafes means it is positioned on a steep slope and close to the centre which although gives you a fabulous location does present challenges for access to parking at the rear of the property which is well described in the property description and only off peak street parking or risk a parking ticket. We used the station carpark on days we were not out sightseeing for just four pounds for twenty four hours but be prepared to pay by app and this carpark and most in the Lake District are non cash payment via apps. We loved our stay at Grange over Sands it is a beautiful location which was only moderately busy during the peak Summer holiday period which was a lovely contrast to the very busy towns villages and lakes in the main Lake District area. This property was a great find. Thank you for letting us and our four legged friend stay.

  The narrow drive and rather awkward car park presented a challenge to our rather large car initially but we got the hang of it with practice. We both missed the security of a grabrail in the shower cubicle where the floor was slippery when wet. Perhaps provision of a floor mat for the shower would also be a good idea. These minor improvements would make the apartment truly disabled friendly.

  Such a great location and a gorgeous, comfortable apartment. Every room had been thoughtfully decorated and fitted out. I was very jealous of the huge wardrobes in the bedroom, and the kitchen had absolutely everything you could wish for. Extra touches like a hosepipe outside to wash off muddy boots, huge shower, huge bed, coat hooks in the hall, and a complimentary bottle of Prosecco (for simply putting the rubbish out one morning) made our stay extra special. The driveway is a little tight, but we had no problem accessing it in a Renault Kadjar. You just have to be a bit careful. Overall it’s a fantastic place to stay and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone.

  Warm, quiet and very comfortable and an excellent location both for the town and travelling further afield.The driveway was a bit challenging but nothing you can do about that! We do also have an electric car but always holiday with our petrol one because of the lack of charging points at properties. I know it's a difficult one as you would have to have some way of charging your visitors for charging, but perhaps something for the future. It would certainly be a selling point for us.

• "Lovely stay."

  Cottage very clean, kitchen well equipped Nice & spacious, light inside, tall ceilings HIVE heating system easy to use, & all the appliances had instruction books Listing described a gas fire, but this is not functional (disconnected), so for decoration purposes only. The room was lovely & snug without it on anyway. Nice touch on having the folder with information & local walks etc Garden: Astroturf with gravel. Small area but big enough to let dog out in. Just be aware the garden gate latch did not latch securely, but this was easily rectified by tying up with string. If you did not have a dog, this would not be an issue at all. Drive: The drive is steep as noted in some of the review, but we had no issue navigating this & parking was directly outside the back door which is very handy & there was a hose ideal for washing the dog off directly outside the back door Location: Good for exploring the South lakes (~30mins away from Windermere) & local area. Nice little promenade which is tarmacked along the estuary front. Plenty of local shops (Tesco extra, Co-op, plus fish & chips / Chinese etc, & x2 butchers -> Recommend a visit if you are a meat eater !) We enjoyed our stay & would recommend the property.

  Ideal for a couple, the master bedroom is very spacious with lots of storage space and a comfortable bed. The driveway is narrow and needs care, but the excellent parking space right by the back door makes up for it! Plenty of equipment in the modern kitchen, and a good big fridge and freezer.

  It was spacious, clean and comfy. Beds were superb, which is very unusual, shower brilliant. Everything was considered and provided and the views are brilliant, our pet enjoyed the sun coming through big bay windows. It was winter and cold outside, the flat was very snug! We had no issue getting car up driveway, we have a large 4x4, we flipped in wing mirrors. Getting about by train is very good, you are 15mins from station if you go via town or 25 if you take the flat promenade, which ia really nice for the walk home at night. Oh and the cleaning /maintenance company were brilliant, especially when I managed to lock us out like a total idiot. The gentleman who came to let is in was lovely and understanding!

  We managed to enjoy ourselves despite the pretty awful weather. A great spot for getting out further into the lake district or nipping across on the train to Arnside or as we did, catching it to Cark and walking back through Cartmel. Plenty of room for three of us plus dog and also plenty of storage space, often lacking in other holiday homes we've had. We had a little "drama" on the way home and the owners went out their way to try to help, so thank you again for that.

  The apartment is suitable for people with disabilities, there is a very large shower, and two chairs at the right height to get in and out of with ease.The bed is very comfortable, we had the best sleep ever! The drive up to the parking bay is very narrow, but you can park by the back door which is ideal for those with mobility problems. The views across the estuary are stunning. Grange over Sands has all the necessary shops and two lovely parks. At the bottom of the hill there is a bandstand in the park which has music on Sundays. The area is very doggie friendly and all the pubs cater for our four legged friends. The only problem we encountered is there is no tumble drier, and although there is a clothes airer, it took three days for things to dry out. We loved Flaxford House and will definitely go back again.

• "Off to a shaky start, cleaners hadn't been in (we arrived at 3."

  10 pm), the gas fire wasn't working and there was no heating on so it was really cold. However after a couple of phone calls 2 very nice ladies arrived and cleaned and changed beds etc. A plumber came to look at the fire and new part ordered though we never heard any more about it. Anyway after the first day we warmed up and things got better. The apartment itself is lovely, really nicely decorated and (maybe apart from the sofas, ) comfortable. Loved the high ceilings and cornicing, the view from the windows and nicely fitted kitchen. Drive needs a bit of care until you get used to it. Grange is a good base to get into the lakes and we also enjoyed taking the train across to Arnside. We ate at the commodore Inn a couple of times, not posh but really friendly, dogs welcome and great food. The promised prosseco never arrived but we put the bin out anyway!

  Thanks for your feedback regarding your stay at Flaxford House. We are delighted you like the decor, character and comfort of the property. Since your stay two new armchairs and large footstool have made the lounge even more comfortable. Apologies for the mix-up with the changeover which was an administrative error our agents are very reliable, and this was an isolated incident. I am pleased this was quickly resolved to your complete satisfaction. The gas fire is fully operational again. South Lakes Services called around on the Monday evening of your stay to turn this back on and to put out a bottle Prosecco, unfortunately they missed you. We appreciate all feedback and thank you for taking time to review the property. We are proud of the many positive comments published online by Sykes, the majority of which are very positive.

• "The Apartment 1 Flaxford House was well equipped and clean."

  However, I would caution any one that if you are looking to relax in comfort. This is definitely NOT for you. Also, the width of the driveway and the unevenness of the walls either side should have been more prominently 'advertised' prior to booking. There was at its narrowest less than a couple of inches from the side of my car. If I had not 'folded' the mirrors access would have been impossible! As it was, even though I was careful, I scratched the wing mirror casing on my new Range Rover. I believe Sykes have a responsibility to warn potential buyers of such hazards prior to taking a booking. But this was not the worst bit by a long chalk. As for comfort. There was NONE. An old three/ four seat sofa which you could not sit comfortably on. Two very uncomfortable chairs were also supplied. This was certainly not the place to go if relaxation and comfort were even a slight criteria. In our case it was a disaster because we needed somewhere to relax in comfort. My wife has recovering from a breast cancer operation By Tuesday evening we could not put up with this any more and left first thing Wednesday morning. Very dissatisfied and of course we shall NOT be using Sykes again.

  We are sorry to hear that your experience at the property was not as expected. We take care to provide all guests with a full information pack prior to arrival and highlight that parking is accessed via a narrow driveway and provide details of nearby free parking for those who choose not to use the available space. It is unfortunate that our furniture was not to your taste, although we appreciate you commenting that the property is well equipped. Most of the furniture is from Marks & Spencer, John Lewis and local retailers, and we are confident everything is of a high standard. The leather Chesterfield sofa was handmade to order in the UK in 2016 and the Parker Knoll armchairs are considered classic items, however, in light of your comments, we have ordered replacement armchairs to provide guests with an alternative in 2019. We appreciate all feedback and thank you for taking time to review the property. We are proud of the many positive comments published online by Sykes, the majority of which are very positive. We are genuinely sorry that Flaxford House is not to your personal liking. We recommend that guests also read other reviews on our property, which provide an alternative view of comfort and location. Kind regards. Property Owner

  Lovely, interesting accommodation and suitable for dogs. The outside table and chairs were excellent for lazy breakfasts and suppers. We would ideally have liked to have been able to open the window in the second bedroom (although this hot weather is unusual!). As others have commented, the driveway up to the parking is VERY narrow, but you get more confident about it each time. We've booked two properties through Sykes Cottages now, and they have both been absolutely excellent. The booking, key collection etc. is very straightforward. I've had to answer 'met expectations' for Sykes, because my expectations were already high!

  Only drawback was the wheelie bin as it didn't seem to have been emptied by the previous visitors and the kitchen bins had not been emptied.

  One minor gripe is that the company that services the property only left 2 inferior quality loo rolls to last 4 adults for 7 days over the Christmas period and no spare bin bags. Some people may also find the narrow access drive a problem and your dependence of considerate parking by the adjoining property, as we had to ask them on our arrival, to move 2 of the 3 vehicles that were parked there preventing us from accessing our parking allocation.
