"It's a beautiful wee place, great location."
Very comfortable beds, lovely high quality bedding and towels. The whole place was lovely and clean to a high standard. The keysafe is a bit of an issue, the rubber cover comes off completely and I was covered in black marks all over my top, the keysafe itself comes out completely and isn't on hinges, I found it difficult to use. The bathrooms have no extractor fans so we had to open the windows for ventilation. A lovely neighbour explained that we could use the parking spot at the side of the drive which was really helpful as we had come in 2 cars. When I saw the sign that said parking for number 42, I assumed that meant on the drive. Amanda left us milk, tea, coffee biscuits and some Rollo's, this was a lovely gesture and was appreciated. We loved the torch in the hallway as we definitely needed it to take Ziggy for a walk down the field at night. We would definitely return.

"This is our 2nd stay here and we will definitely be back."
The house is perfect for us, carpet in the living room and dining room ( my dog hates wooden floors )and downstairs toilet. Always clean and welcoming. Fabulous location, easy dog walks from the house and easy to go anywhere by car. The owner is lovely and my dog went right back to her for a cuddle! See you next year! Justine.
It was lovely to see you again Justine, and I am so pleased you had another enjoyable stay. I will look forward to seeing you both again sometime in the future. Thank you for your lovely comments. Best wishes Amanda Property Owner

"The cottage is in an excellent, quiet location, near to the town."
It is ideal for dog owners with its fully enclosed garden and a nearby path to a recreation area and the front. There are many dog friendly cafes/pubs in Grange plus a great pet shop. We had some gorgeous weather towards the end of our stay and we really enjoyed sitting in the sunny garden on very comfortable patio chairs.
Thank you for your feedback, I’m so pleased you enjoyed your stay. Best wishes Amanda Property Owner

"Lovely house, very welcoming, everything needed was provided, for a very comfortable stay."
Lovely views across the bay from the end of the road. Lovely walks into Grange over Sands. Lovely weather, what more could we ask for. Amanda was very friendly and made us feel very welcome.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. I’m glad you had such an enjoyable stay and that you felt well catered for. I hope to welcome you back some time in the future. Best wishes Amanda Property Owner

"Roll’s Retreat is a lovely comfortable home we enjoyed our stay (2 couples and dog)."
The enclosed garden is very safe for dogs even our greyhound I doubt could jump the fence panels. Grange Over Sands is a charming quiet old worldly type of place with plenty of green spaces to walk dogs and there is a field at the back of the property too. The promenade is also a lovely walk. The property’s kitchen was well equipped so we ate in most evenings also making use of the BBQ. Beds were very comfortable, bedding and towels were of lovely quality. Nothing not to like about taking a holiday here. We drove to Lake Windermere (30-40mins) and Grizedale Forest (40mins) so lots to see and do with good walks from the property too. It was lovely to have milk, treats for us and the dog, soap, cleaning materials and loo roll already at the property. We would not hesitate to go back to this lovely home from home.
Jean, thank you for your positive comments, I’m so happy you enjoyed your stay and that you would consider staying at Rolo’s Retreat in the future, I will look forward to welcoming you back. Best wishes Amanda Property Owner

"We have have thoroughly enjoyed our 5 day stay in Rolos Retreat."
This is a real home for home break. The house is very cosy and welcoming in a very quiet cul de sac. The owner left us a few treats too to enjoy which was a lovely gesture too. The location is also perfect, from just exploring Grange over Sands all within walking distance to a car ride out to enjoy an ice cream in flookburgh or sticky toffee pudding in Cartmel. If you fancy further afield, there are plenty of places to enjoy each day before returning to Rolos Retreat to enjoy the sun-kissed garden or head off to bed in the hotel quality bedding in a super king sized bed. Would very highly recommend adding Rolos Retreat to your wish list if you are heading to this part of the UK.
Thank you Helen for your lovely review it is very much appreciated. I’m so pleased you enjoyed your break with the added bonus of sunny weather. I look forward to to welcoming you back sometime in the future. Property Owner

"Rolo's Retreat is a very comfortable and well equipped holiday house."
It is also very clean - possibly the cleanest one we have stayed in and this is greatly appreciated. The enclosed garden is perfect for enjoying the sun and knowing that the dog cannot escape. There is easy access to good walks nearby so not far to go for the first outing of the morning with the dog. The location is quiet but not far from the town centre. We walked to the local shops for provisions and only used the car when we were going further afield. The owner responded very quickly to questions and was very helpful. I would definitely recommend Rolo's Retreat.
Sorry for the late reply, I seem to have missed you! Thank for your feedback it is always lovely to get positive comments, but especially when the cleanliness is mentioned. I do work hard to keep Rolo’s Retreat to as higher a standard as possible and I very much appreciate your comment. Best wishes Amanda Property Owner

"We spent a lovely week at Rolos Retreat and even had good weather."
We had lunch in the garden and found the patio furniture so comfortable that we decided to order a set for our own garden. The location was great, being near the promenade and shops. Everywhere was clean and the bed was comfy. We enjoyed our stay so much that we have booked again in June.
Thank you for your wonderful feedback and 5.* rating, We look forward to welcoming you back next month. Best wishes Amanda Property Owner

"We had a wonderful stay at Rolo's Retreat."
The only thing we couldn't find was a clothes airer as we did a few washes because of the weather/mud! But other than than that the property was perfect. It was in a great location for us and everywhere we visited was only an hour away. We loved Grange over sands too. Thank you Amanda for the Easter card and treats, that was a lovely touch.
Thanks do much for your lovely feedback and 5* review. I’m so pleased you and your family had such a good time. Your suggestion of a clothes airer is much appreciated, I will certainly rectify that for my next guests. I realise you travelled some distance but I hope we can welcome you again sometime in the future. Best wishes Amanda. Property Owner

"We had a great week at Rolo's retreat."
Clean and tidy and well appointed property. Close to the area of Grange Over Sands. We enjoyed walking along the prom with our dog and visiting the local villages. All in a lovely quiet week.
Thank you so much for your 5* review, this is so much appreciated. It was lovely to meet you both and the lovely Bella! I look forward to welcoming you back sometime in the future. Amanda Property Owner

"Fabulous house, very clean and well equipped."
I couldn't find a hairdryer? Great location, far enough away from centre, but can easily walk there. Also at the bottom of the estate, pathway to a big field and a under pass to the prom. The owner Amanda was lovely. I forgot my dog's harness and she very kindly lent me one. We will definitely be back.
Thanks so much for your wonderful feedback. Thank you also for the comment about the hair dryer, I will certainly rectify this and supply one. I look forward to welcoming you back sometime in the future. Amanda Property Owner

"Great property, fab location loved it all."

"Really nice, comfortable and well equipped home ideally situated for exploring the southern Lakes."
Grange is an interesting small town with a Promenade along the bay and several parks so it was ideal for us to walk the dog. We used trains and buses to get out and about. We were two couples and we all had a very enjoyable holiday.

"Had a fantastic stay."
The property was really good - clean, comfortable and very handy for access to the town. It was also very quiet and peaceful as well as close to the town. You can access the prom from the bottom of the road through the playing field. Parking not a problem - so important when we choose a property. The owner was very friendly and if you need any advice etc you can just ask. We would definitely like to go back again.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. It means such a lot to receive such positive feedback. I certainly hope you will visit Rolo’s Retreat in the future. Best wishes to you both, Amanda. Property Owner

"A very well furnished home from home great outdoor space for our dog and for us to relax with an excellent patio set and BBQ."
Everything as advertised with good quality Wi-Fi. Great location near the beach with a lovely promenade to walk the dog and a great gateway to explore the Lake District. Owners where friendly and helpful with so great personal touches.
Thank you very much for your feedback. I am so pleased you had an enjoyable stay and found Rolo’s Retreat an home from home. Amanda Property Owner

"The property was almost new and in good condition."
Because it had recently been put on the holiday rental market all the non-structural items were new and in first-rate condition. The owners were very helpful and accommodating. On the downside Sykes proved to be a pretty poor rental agency and failed to warn us that there would be no Wi-Fi or smart TV despite having advertised these facilities . I would have expected Sykes to recognise their incorrect advertising and notified us, together with the offer of a modest refund of the price. We would visit again, but hopefully book via an alternative agency.
Thank you for your lovely comments, it was great to meet you. I’m so pleased you had an enjoyable time. Hope to welcome you again in the future. Amanda Property Owner

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.
