"This is our third time staying at the Grange over the last 11 years."
It's a marvellous property, just a 6 minute walk to the Windermere high street and maybe a 25-30 minute walk down to Bowness on Windermere. We happened to be there just after a redecoration, so everything was pristine. The central heating has two Nest-controlled zones to keep the house warm, and there was a lovely gas fire in the living room. There was plenty of room for our party of 7 people over the three bedrooms. The top floor bedroom has a queen and a single, but the single is tucked away in a corner, so it was perfect for our 12 year old. The kitchen was very well appointed, and there was plenty of private parking for our two cars. I will be staying here again in the future.

"We had a wonderful time staying in this beautiful house."
Our 4 children were thrilled with the games room and our 2 youngest thoroughly enjoyed having a spacious garden to roam. The house was so warm and comfortable; thank you for a really lovely break.

"Wow! Where do I start?"
Judith and Tim were amazing. Lots of tips of where to visit, which we took full advantage of. We had a fantastic stay at the Grange. A deceptively large property with little surprises around every corner. Our kids really enjoyed the games room in the basement. Our expectations were exceeded. The house and garden were immaculate. We were very close to the lake and town centre, which was also a bonus - just a short walk. The only criticism, is the distance you are from our house in Wiltshire. If you could move everything a little closer, we could spend more time at the Grange.

"Shipmen property within easy access of Lake Windermere and Bowness."
We enjoyed a very comfortable week with plenty to keep the children entertained (9, 7 and 4). We will be back!

"We had a fantastic week at The Grange."
We loved The Grange as much as we loved being in The Lake District. The garden is wonderful, the rooms are spacious and the kitchen is well equipped. It’s a special place
-
"We had a fantastic stay at this beautiful property."
It was spotlessly clean, well equipped, comfortable, spacious and we enjoyed the most gorgeous garden. Close to lake Windermere. Great information provided by owner of where to go and what to see and do. A fabulous holiday.
-
"Lovely large property for 3 couples."
Loads to do in the immediate area. Great walking from the door. It would have helped if the kitchen was less cluttered, providing more surfaces to work on. Also a nest of tables in the living room would be helpful. So marked down slightly for these. But we all had a great time.
-
"Beautifully presented period house with large rooms which meant we all had plenty of space."
Set in a lovely large gardens with some views over the lake and parking for several cars. It is in a very quiet location yet only 10 minutes walk from Windermere, so very convenient. We loved it and would highly recommend to anyone who wants a comfortable, stress free holiday.
-
"Beautiful house , Excellent location , Beautiful large garden and all facilities you think of is provided ."
Enough place to park all our three cars . Will definitely come back next year.

"Wonderful property."
Everything you needed for a brilliant holiday. Clean, comfortable and fantastic views.
-
"Another wonderful stay at The Grange."
The Location, The views The property is well presented and has everthing is there at your holiday accomodation to enjoy that home from home experience. We didn't have a car but it in walking distance to Windermere one of our party wasn't great walking and she found it easy but it is also near to a bus stop to explore surrounding areas and the bus service very reliable. This accomodation is excellent and I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

"Excellent stay at The Grange last week."
Very cool house in high outside temperatures. Very clean and exactly what we were expecting. Had one small problem with a tap which Sykes sorted out promptly and fixed within a couple of hours. Will have no hesitation in staying again.
Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. We are glad that the maintenance problem was resolved promptly and that you enjoyed your stay. Lakelovers Owner Relations Property Owner

"The Grange was an amazing house."
Very comfortable and in an amazing setting with everything you could need and more. Nice walk into Windermere and further to other villages. Great bus service at end of drive if you don’t feel like walking. I have already recommended it to friends and family and would definitely book this house again.
Thank you for your kind comments. We are so glad that you enjoyed The Grange and all the area has to offer. Thank you so much for the recommendations and we do hope to welcome you back again. Lakelovers Owner Relations Expert Property Owner

"We had a lovely stay at The Grange."
We arranged the break for my mum and dad as they never get away and dad has an illness, and they enjoyed it very much. The house is lovely, clean and comfortable and the location was great. The owners which we met on arrival were also lovely and helpful. We have a 20 month old daughter and she loved having the space to run around and playing ball in the garden. The games room in the basement needs updating, the table is too old/worn to be played on, but we didn't book the house for that purpose so wasn't a problem for us. Would highly recommend a stay here! Fantastic space with lovely views.
Thank you for your kind feedback, we are glad to hear that you had a lovely stay. We take all comments on board. We hope to welcome you back again. Property Owner

"Excellent property, great views, location and helpful owners."

"We have had a fantastic stay at The Grange and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend!"
We took our five children ranging from 15-24 and games room was definitely a hit. The location was amazing and we enjoyed the ten minute walk down to the lake for a dip most days making most of the weather. Also the walk to Orrest Head from the house was beautiful. The house had everything we needed and it was clean and comfortable. The grounds were beautiful and despite being being shared there is plenty to go around. In short-lovely house (especially for families with older children), wonderful location!!
-
"Excellent location, a beautiful property with wonderful views from the large floor to ceiling windows, lake views from the master bedroom."
Children of all ages (and some adults) will enjoy the games room in the basement. The Grange provided our 3 generations with everything we needed to enjoy are family holiday. I like to try new places but this is one I would revisit.
-
"Lovely house, in great location within 10 minute walk of both the lake and town, yet still peaceful."
Superbly equipped and very comfortable. Great communications from the owner who clearly takes pride in a unique house and has provided a fantastic holiday home. Our best holiday home yet!
-
"Love this property ."
This was our second stay. Everything we could think of was provided . The garden is delightful. My grandson loved rolling down the slope but i missed the wild flowers that adorned the top of the slope last year. The property is close enough to walk into Windermere and to Booths supermarket. Only one slight negative for me was the bed in the large (beautiful) bedroom on the first floor which I found to be a bit hard and uncomfortable but that could be down to personal taste . The views from the window and the attic room window are stunning. Enjoyed our stay immensely
-
"We had a lovely stay."
The property is fabulous and in a great location. It suited 3 separate couples with own bathrooms and plenty of parking. The standard of upkeep was excellent and we will certainly consider staying again when we have a suitable party.
-
"This is a beautiful property beautifully furnished with stunning views."
The proportions of the house were just right making it a really comfortable stay. For us the bed was too hard, but that is a matter of preference. Kitchen was well equipped, and we had great fun in the games room.
-
"Beautiful house, lovely and warm on arrival and spotlessly clean."
Plenty of space for everyone and in a great location.
-
"Fabulous stay at the Grange."
Photos don’t do it justice. Very well equity, lovely bedding abs fresh soft towels. 5 minutes walk from Windermere. Fabulous views of the lake from the Grange. Beds lovely and comfortable and property is large. Would definitely recommend . Thankyou .

"The Grange is a stunning property that was perfectly located and suited to the needs of our two families."
The top floor was a haven for the three teenagers and they loved the games room too (along with the Dad's). We had everything we needed to cook meals in and there was lots to choose from for meals out (Windermere - 5/10 min walk & Bowness 25 min walk). Thankfully the weather was kind and we enjoyed lots of walks nearby with stunning scenery and a 2hr boat hire on the lake was well worth it. The Dad's managed a couple of games of golf too. We did have a some issues with the wifi (and connected heating), but this was quickly fixed by Lakelovers maintenance or by speaking direct to the owner. The only other feedback is that our friends who slept in the large/master bedroom, found the mattress/bed very soft and sagging in the middle. This did cause some sleepless nights and sore backs. Whilst we appreciate that everyone has different preferences to mattress firmness, this did seem unusually soft. That apart, we would definitely come back and stay again the next time we visit this stunning part of the country.

"We had a great stay, everything was perfect, there was an initial problem with the wi-fi which was resolved as quickly as we could have reasonably expected."
Many thanks
-
"Great house."
Very well kept. Great amenities. Great location. Sykes have been very good to deal with through lockdown. Would definitely go back and/or book again for somewhere else through Sykes.
-
"Our booking was for Bottletops but that was double booked."
Your handling of the situation was appalling. I was travelling with my very elderly parents, their first outing in 18 months. We had travelled 6 hours from Essex and if Customer Care had dealt with the situation we would have been turned away with nowhere to stay, with a refund - when in fact you had an empty property down the road which Customer Care did not offer because it was larger than what we had booked. I really don’t know what we would have done if, in the end, Steve had not taken matters into his own hands.
-
"Location was convenient."
Lack of outside dining facilities. Can't believe that you have a company policy of only providing one toilet roll per bathroom. Very disappointing when you are charging for a high end property and no indication is given on your list of things to bring. Knives were incredibly blunt and almost useless. The listing should be clear that the views of Windermere are only from the two back bedrooms.
-
"Really good holiday the house and Gardens with views was fantastic, location was brilliant we had a car as my son took us up but you could certainly make it your base accessible to train station and buses, easy walk into town."
-
"An amazing holiday home with everything you need and more."
Will definitely return
-
"Absolutely amazing stay - would definitely return."
Everything was perfect!
-
"The Grange was a beautiful property, very tastefully renovated and hugely generous on space."
We loved the views and the location was great for our teenage boys, who could walk down to the lake and into town. It was also very quiet and the games room was a great addition. We loved it!
-
"• The house and location are superb and will always receive great reviews."
-
"This was our first every trip to the Lake District."
The house was perfect for our needs. Visually stunning, spacious and clean. Great location, picturesque views with peaceful surroundings. It was a fantastic central base to head off to all the attractions and sightseeing we wanted to do.

The property
The Grange, a beautifully refurbished Gentlemen’s residence just a five minute stroll from the heart of the lively Windermere village, is the epitome of Lake District elegance.
From inside the house, the sunny patio and lovely gardens, guests will wonder at the breath-taking views over Lake Windermere to the hills and mountains beyond.
A view to make the heart sing.
The entrance hall, with stained glass windows and imposing guilt mirror, doubles as an elegant dining room in which to share more formal dinners and chat late into the night.
Moving through to the spacious sitting room, or drawing room as it might have been, the fabulous bay window perfectly frames the spectacular views.
Splendidly comfortable sofas are positioned around the original feature fireplace and wood burning stove, over which a further picture windows looking out onto the grounds.
With plenty of space in which to spread out, guests will find this a wonderful space in which to relax at any time of day.
The breakfast kitchen has its own wood burning stove and a sturdy farmhouse table, perfect for enjoying brunch, coffee and the papers.
The house cellar is home to an ever popular games room with pool table, air hockey and DVD player.
The Grange really does have it all. Upstairs to the first floor and two of the three lovely bedrooms.
The master suite comes with king size bed, French Antique furniture and en-suite shower.
A further king size is extremely charming and also comes with an en-suite bathroom.
Finally, up to ‘The Loft Suite’.
The staircase divides this room into two distinct areas, one with a double bed and one with single and en-suite shower.
This room has some of the best views in the house as well as its own perfect bathroom.
What a treat this suite is!
Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.
