"Superb property, couldn't fault it."
-
"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.

"This is our second stay at this gem of an apartment we had a wonderful time thank you."
Immaculately fresh & clean , the bottle of Fizz for putting the wheelie bin out was very welcome. Looking forward to visiting again for the Christmas week.

"Nice clean comfortable, well equipped apartment in a good position."
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

This apartment is gorgeous and very spacious. Owners have thought of everything you could possibly need to make your stay perfect. Stunning view of Morecombe Bay from the lounge and bedroom window was lovely to wake up to. I would highly recommend this apartment.

"Beautiful ground floor apartment."
Very spacious, really well appointed, spotlessly clean, with everything you could possibly need during a self catering stay. Great location, close to all the amenities in Grange over Sands and close to Cartmel. The driveway is quite narrow but we have quite a big car and managed fine. Would definitely return
Thank you Emma for your wonderful feedback. Very pleased you found the apartment very well appointed, spotlessly clean and spacious. It is in a great location to explore the Lake District. We are lucky that the apartment benefits from having a car park space right outside the back door of the property which is very convenient. After a bit of practice going up and down the drive you soon get the hang of it. We look forward to you returning to Flaxford again soon. Property Owner

Amazing views of the ever changing bay from the lounge and front bedroom windows. Well equipped has everything you need truly a home from home, quality fixture & fittings lots of period features and immaculately clean. Private parking at the back and pretty garden at the front . Ideally placed to wander along the promenade or into town. Windermere, Arnside & Silverdale are all short drives away. We will be back .

"This is the second time we’ve stayed in this lovely accommodation, we really enjoyed our first stay so much, we decided to enjoy another week this November as we knew what to look forward to."
The owners were very helpful and accommodating, not that we had any problems, because our stay for the whole of our week was excellent, enjoyable, and trouble free! The accommodations was so lovely, and we had everything we needed, it was like HOME FROM HOME, (and we really love our own home!). We look forward to staying in this accommodation again at some time in the future.
Thank you Trevor for your great feedback and review. We are so pleased you enjoyed your second visit to Flaxford House and had an excellent and enjoyable stay. We hope you can visit us again soon. Property Owner

"A lovely and well furnished apartment with great views over Morecambe Bay."
The property is very well located and has some nice period features. The master bedroom is an excellent size with dressing table and more than ample wardrobe space. Kitchen is nicely fitted and well-equipped with a nice breakfast bar. Living room is cosy but spacious with a good size TV that includes a fire stick and Netflix. Also plenty room for dining. Bathroom is modern with a great shower. The driveway does get very narrow but it is easily negotiable in a small family car. We loved our stay here and it was perfect for our family of 3. Would definitely recommend and consider staying again!
Thank you Paul for your informative and great feedback, it is much appreciated. Really pleased you found the apartment to be very well located, spacious with period features and well equipped.

"Fantastic apartment!"
Everything you need for a great stay in a well positioned apartment. We stayed with my elderly mother who isn’t very mobile and it was perfect for her to potter around in with beautiful views over the bay from the window.
Thank you Amanda for your great feedback and really pleased you found everything you needed at Flaxford House for your stay. That's great your mother was able to enjoy the beautiful views of over the bay. Grange is a lovely area with stunning scenery. We hope you are able to return for another visit. Property Owner

"Pleasant stay but was disappointed that we could hear the people in the apartment upstairs simply talking."
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. Lovely period building but decor was bland and tired. Having said that it was really spacious, in a good location and had everything we needed including a comfortable bed.
Hello Justine, thank you for your feedback and glad you found the apartment really spacious, comfortable and in a good location. We are sorry you found the decor not to your taste but it is in keeping with the period of the property. Really pleased it had everything you needed and hope you can visit Flaxford House again.

"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.
Thank you Toni for your informative and great feedback, it is much appreciated. Really pleased you found the apartment to be cleaned to a very high standard, well maintained and in an excellent position. We are lucky that the apartment benefits from having a car park space right outside the back door of the property which is very convenient.

Classy spacious apartment with a lovely relaxing feel to the apartment very close to the centre of town and a lovely walk 5minutes away along the edge of the bay with great views nice relaxing time Driveway steep may be tricky when icy and larger cars may find drive narrow saying that would recommend this property graham
Thank you Graham for your great feedback and really pleased you found Flaxford House spacious and relaxing. Grange is a lovely area with stunning scenery. We are lucky the apartment benefits from having a car park space right outside the back door of the property and after a bit of practice going up and down the drive you soon get the hang of it. In the winter we have access to plenty of salt to put on the drive when icy. We hope you are able to return for another visit. Property Owner

"Only one minor problem, the tog rating on the quilt was much to high for summer use."
Found ourselves waking up sweltering. Summer rated quilt would be better.
Thank you Keith for the 100% feedback but sorry you found the quilts too warm. It has been the hottest June on record but you can never be too sure in the Lake District in summer! We hope you are able to visit again soon. Property Owner

"We appreciated the spaciousness and comfort of the apartment."
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.
Thank you Hugh for your great feedback, it is much appreciated. Really pleased you found the apartment spacious and comfortable. We are lucky the apartment benefits from having a car park space right outside the back door of the property and like you said after a bit of practice going up and down the drive you soon get the hang of it. Thank you for the suggestion of a grabrail in the shower we will look into having one fitted. Property Owner

"The apartment was so spacious and comfortable."
There was everything you could possibly need and more. The views from the lounge, in particular, were amazing. Unfortunately there were no views from the lovely little front garden due to the height of the shrubs. Very conveniently situated. Easy walking distance to local pubs, shops and much more. Just a very short drive to Windermere and Bowness. Definitely intend to return and would certainly recommend.
Thank you Lyn for your great feedback and really pleased you found everything you needed at Flaxford House. Grange is a lovely area with stunning scenery. We hope you are able to return for another visit. Property Owner

"The flat was excellent and lovely and clean when we arrived."
The location is gorgeous with a lovely view to Morecambe Bay from the sitting room bay window. I cannot fault the property but I suggest it would be a good idea to provide more than one set of keys. I've not rated top for comfort simply because the pillows were not good for me - a personal choice and others may find them suitable. We had a fantastic time (lovely and sunny too) and would definitely return 5*

"Spacious rooms and large hallway (used as dog sleeping area), plenty of storage in bedroom and kitchen."
Nice furniture, very comfortable bed and warm house. Good shower. Great views over the bay. Quiet area yet a very short walk to good food shops, cafes, the prom and railway station. The steep, stone walled driveway with very tight turning to park up was tricky for a larger and longer car.
Thank you Pam for staying at Flaxford House and really pleased you found the facilities comfortable and in a good location. We appreciate you taking the time to write a review and hope you can come back to visit again soon. Property Owner

Every amenity you need and within minutes walking of all the main shops. Plenty of room in all rooms and parking was easy. Please note that the drive is narrow but we were fine with a 4x4. Would thoroughly recommend. Owners contacted about a number of things which was useful.

"This is a beautiful holiday home, superb and comfortable accommodation, spotlessly clean with a picturesque view across the Bay."
The apartment is spacious, tastefully decorated and furnished to a high standard, the kitchen and bathroom a dream. Flaxford House is quiet, conveniently situated, close to shops, cafes and restaurants, with a lovely park a few yards away. Grange is charming and an excellent base for exploring the Lake District. We had very good communication and clear instructions and I would have no hesitation in recommending Flaxford House. Many thanks for a lovely visit and the wine!

"Fantastic place to stay."
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.
Thank you Helen for staying at Flaxford House and for taking the time to write a review. It is much appreciated. We are so pleased you enjoyed staying at the property and hope you can come back to visit again in the future. Property Owner

"The flat was perfect- lovely and roomy."
Very comfortable beds and great shower. Great location -easy walk into Grange (fab butchers, bakery, grocers, cafes and restaurants) and not far to Windermere, Ambleside etc. We had a lovely meal in the Estuary bistro and pubs in Cartmel. Would definitely come back and stay again!
-
"Only the access to the car parking at the rear of the property is the only negative aspect of this rental."
I had no problems as long as you take it slowly, but my wife was always very nervous. The fan in the bathroom was a bit of a niggle, if anyone used the toilet during the night the fan would obviously come on, pity there was no isolator switch for it.
-
"A really lovely property with the decoration and furnishing excellent and thoughtfully done giving it a very fresh, light and modern feel."
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. Sorry - something I always put in 'comments'! Anyway, many thanks for a wonderful stay. It really was restorative in these strange times.

"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. Many thanks
Thank you Michelle for your feedback and glad you enjoyed your stay at Flaxford House. We look forward to you visiting the property again soon. Property Owner

"1, Flaxford House is a very comfortable, well equipped apartment in an excellent location in Grange."
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.
-
"Wonderfully equipped and comfortable apartment."
The drive is steeper and narrower than anticipated and a vehicle any wider than my Mini Countryman wouldn’t manage to get up there, it probably needs describing as extremely narrow at the top half. Aside of that everything else was spot on. Really enjoyed our stay, the information and communication from the owner is brilliant! Lovely view over to the bay.
-
"Another fabulous break in grange over sands."
Flaxford house exceeded expectations will definitely be back.
-
"Lovely and comfortable property."
Kitchen fully equipped, wanted for nothing. Great spot. Easy walking distance to shops and town centre.

"Loved this property!"
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!

Very well thought out with electrical points etc. in convenient places and spotlessly clean . Equipment of good quality and, as it was Christmas, a Christmas tree and just the right amount of decorations which we weren't expecting. Thank you for a lovely stay!

"A lovely comfortable and spacious apartment with good quality furnishings."
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.

"Flaxford House is a comfortable & well equipped apartment with lovely views over to Morecambe Bay."
It is well-situated for exploring Grange-over-sands and the surrounding areas of the South Lakes. The only problem for us was the tight passage that you need to negotiate to get to the parking behind the house, especially in our brand new car ! Overall, though, a very pleasant stay Thank you.

"The apartment was perfect, really nicely decorated, had a nice feel to it and had all the necessary items in the kitchen."
The bed was so comfy and the added benefit of the outdoor space at the front was a bonus. Such a lovely property to take or dog to aswell. The apartment was really near the shops, the park across the road and the path down to the promenade! Ideal for us all, the kids loved it, we had a great holiday and the dog was in his element!!! It was a win win from us!!!!! We squeezed up the driveway but wouldn't like to try to get a bigger car up there!!!!

"This was our 5th visit so that should tell you how ☺ happy we are with this property."
Unfortunately the weather was appalling but we still managed to enjoy ourselves as the apartment is like a home from home.
-
"I was really pleased with this holiday apartment."
It was beautifully furnished, clean, well laid out and spacious. It really helped make our holiday special returning to the apartment after a busy day exploring the Lake District. We will definitely miss the beautiful estuary views.

"Flaxford House is very comfortable and clean, with every facility needed for a great holiday, and is a very good place to base yourself for a exploring Lancaster and Cumbria."
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.

"Our 4th visit and already booked the next at Flaxford House in September."
Best holiday home we have ever stayed in. Love Grange, just our sort of place for a relaxing holiday.
-
"The property is a ground floor apartment in a substantial Victorian semi detatched house."
The small garden area with seating is at the front and space for parking at the back. The drive is steep and quite narrow but should be no problem for the smaller SUV. The apartment is spacious and well furnished. It is possible to glimpse the sea from the bay window of the lounge. We found the bed very comfortable. The appliances in the kitchen were easy to use. There are a variety of shops within walking disrance, including a Co-op and Tesco Local and a butcher almost opposite the property.
-
"Wow - Flaxford House exceeded our expectations."
Location - tick, facilities - tick, cleanliness - tick, comfort - tick, in fact tick tick tick.... just wished we could have stayed longer.
-
"This apartment is very comfortable and clean."
It is very near to the town. Pleasant walks along the prom. The wine was a pleasant surprise. We hope to be able to stay again in the future. The acsess up the drive was easy although some seem to have had difficulties ours is a med sized car. The weather was great.Sandra &Trevor many thanks to the owner.

"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. Thanks (Property Owner) Property Owner

"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

"Our third visit, love Grange and love the flat."
Best apartment we have ever been to. Have booked again for next June. Owners very considerate of our needs.
-
"Newly furbished flat to high quality but driveway to property very steep and narrow, parking space tight."
Comfort in lounge could be improved with better seating. Welcome pack would have been good with more than one poor quality toilet roll for 4 people. Sykes came out promptly when oven was a problem.
-
"The flat was very well put together and looked great, but the furniture was very uncomfortable and the beds not much better."
They need more dishes in the kitchen and a better supply of the right batteries for the remotes as we had to go out and buy some, they had the wrong size in the cupboard.
-
"Excellent location, very handy for the shops."
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!
-
"Had a brilliant time on our second visit."
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. This made the bin rather heavy and it required the two of us to take it down the drive for emptying. However as we love the property, the owners are very helpful and we also love the area we are returning in September
-
"This apartment was fitted out to a high standard and spotless!"
Love the big bay windows and the huge modern shower. Great view out to the bay and close to the shops etc but really quiet. My dog enjoyed the walks along the prom which was surprisingly quiet. Love the village of Cartmel 5 mins away with fantastic meals at the Cavendish Arms which was dog friendly. Ideal spot to visit the Lakes, no negatives to report.
-
"The flat was excellent especially the small garden."
-
"Beautifully equipped and comfy."
Dog friendly. Absolutely loved it here
-
"Staff at Sykes in particular April on live chat, were really helpful as we were looking at a very last minute booking -the evening before we wanted the accomodation."
-
"Our second visit to this property."
Excellent location, very comfortable and spacious, beautiful view and dog friendly too.
-
"The property is very comfortable and very well equipped with quality furniture and appliances and also free Netflix is included which adds to the enjoyment."
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.
-
"Flaxford House is a fabulous apartment."
Beautifully clean & warm, it has made for a relaxing break for us. Dog friendly is an added bonus. Grange is a lovely place to stay. The apartment is a 2 minute walk from the bakery, Co-op & grocer. Easy to get onto the promenade & not too far to the other shops, it is definitely one of our favourite Sykes properties.
-
"This was one of the cleanest and best equipped properties we have stayed in since we have been booking through Sykes."
The location was an excellent base for exploring the Southern Lakes and North Lancashire.
-
"Have been on holiday with you on several occasions and this property is definitely superior."
Fantastic, well decorated rooms, good furnishings, equipment second to none. Having had an extremely traumatic few months, it was great to relax in this lovely apartment. Only drawback was having to take the wheelie bin down the steep long narrow drive. Have already booked to return next year as we love the area.
-
"Parking arrangements tricky but that would not stop us booking again."
Lovely apartment in good location.
-
"The driveway to the property is very narrow and difficult to access."
This would be the only thing that would put me off booking the property again.
-
"The flat was pretty near perfect, very spacious and clean and in the perfect location."
Only one tiny, tiny niggle; I had to put the sheet on the king size bed, the singles were made up, BUT that's the only niggle and did in no way spoil our enjoyment of the holiday. Would definitely book the same again if we want to go back to Grange!
-
"The flat was beautiful, conveniently situated, very clean and comfortable and extremely spacious."
We particularly loved the view of the sea from the large front bay window. Altogether a very enjoyable and relaxing holiday in a lovely little town.
-
"It was a great holiday apartment and we had a very enjoyable week there."
There were some issues with the lock on the back door but I believe the agents are aware of that. Also the neighbours could be a little more considerate in their nocturnal habits, although this wasn't a big issue.

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.
