Harry 
“The property is in need of some updating particularly The shower very difficult to regulate The numerous soft furnishings need a good clean as does the sofa and rugs.”
The bedding was clean but had a split in top and side The kitchen would benefit from a small washing up bowl ( no dishwasher) a teapot and more crockery especially mugs The location and view are superb but the property should also reflect the top price you are paying!

Martin “Disappointed to find only 6 hangers.”
My wife hung some of her stuff up, mine stayed in my bag, small point easy rectified, would have happily bought some from home, they're very useful to hang wet weather gear up to dry. In the oven there is only one wire shelf and nothing to use to grill on, it made cooking a bit restrictive. The "sharp" knives were really blunt, you could run them across your skin without fear of cutting. Trying to cut vegetables was difficult, cutting raw meat would have been almost impossible. I bought a sharpener as there wasn't one and left them sharp, I took the sharpener home. Small points I know, but you asked for feedback. The house was lovely and really comfortable and well kitted out, thanks.
- Martin, February 2025I have ordered more hangers. There were definitely more than 6. Thank you for sharpening the knives! Glad you enjoyed your stay otherwise. Property Owner

Maureen “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
- Maureen, August 2024 -
Kathleen “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!
- Kathleen, July 2024How 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

Richard “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.
- Richard, July 2024 -
Sharon “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.
- Sharon, July 2024Thank you so much. Lovely feedback is so very appreciated Property Owner

Brian “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
- Brian, May 2024 -
Claire “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.
- Claire, May 2024 -
Suzanne “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.
- Suzanne, May 2024 -
Elizabeth “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.
- Elizabeth, April 2024 -
Alison “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
- Alison, February 2024 -
Julie “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.
- Julie, February 2024 -
Tamara “Beautiful views and great location; close to the station and lots of amenities.”
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 :)
- Tamara, December 2023 -
Tanya “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!
- Tanya, December 2023Thank you so much. An absolute pleasure to see your pictures. You are of course very welcome back! Xx Property Owner

Lyn “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.
- Lyn, December 2023Thank 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

Tim “Beautiful cottage with stunning views.”
Clean, tidy and well kept cottage. Parking is a slight frustration; we should have paid more attention to details ahead of the stay.
- Tim, November 2023Thank you so much. Pleased you enjoyed your stay Property Owner

Andrea “Oversands Cottage is quite unique in its design and location.”
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.
- Andrea, October 2023Thank you for the lovely feedback. We’re very pleased you enjoyed your stay xx Property Owner

Zaneta “Perfectly located in Grange Over-Sands the little cottage is beautifully designed with quality furnishings, well equipped kitchen, most comfortable bed with quality linen.”
The windows providing the ever-changing views, skies, the wading birds the moon rise were a real pleasure. The outdoor space a sun trap. Lots of things to do in the area. A memorable holiday, thank you.

Susan “The kettle stopped working.”
I have left a note but couldn't get through to Sykes cottages to let you know as it was out of hours. We had a really wonderful time and it was a fabulous place to unwind and did us the power of good. Thank you so much
- Susan, June 2023Thank you for the lovely feedback and thanks for the note about the kettle. Now replaced! Xx Property Owner
-
Anthony “Spotlessly clean and comfortable.”
Interior Very tastefully designed.There are no words for the stunning views. Parking was not an issue. Just a couple of minutes away and only costing £1 a day. If we had any suggestions to make a pint of milk would have been great to go with the teabags and biscuits on arrival. Not sure if you could supply a recycling box . Fantastic holiday.
- Anthony, June 2023Thank you for the lovely feedback! Property Owner

Sarah “We had a great week at Oversands Cottage.”

Alan “Delightful cottage in a superb location.”
The view from the windows was a continual delight that constantly changed with the weather and light. The interior is well arranged and fully equipped. Being taller than most people I personally found the sofa rather small, but this was a minor issue. Suffice to say we booked a return visit before we left to come home.
- Alan, April 2023Thank you for your very lovely feedback! We hope to have a different sofa before you return. Thanks again! Property Owner

Ceri “Oversands cottage is the perfect romantic getaway - located close to lovely cafes, restaurants and shops but with that get away from it all vibe.”
The cottage itself is perfect in every way, from the decor and layout to the equipment provided in the cottage. We couldn't find a single fault and had an amazing break. I am missing my morning coffee with that special view
- Ceri, April 2023Oh thank you so much! We love it too. You are welcome back anytime! ♥️ Property Owner

Leonard “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.
- Leonard, March 2023Thank 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

Angela “Favourite Moments: The View!”
The sunsets; the sunrises, watching the tide come in. Strolling along the promenade. The peace. Friendly shop staff. very helpful too. Spa treatments @ The Netherwood. Recommended Places: Obviously Higginsons Sausages and pies! Barista Brothers near Higginsons. Best Coffee! Park at Hampsfell Road car park and register; you can then pay on your phone each morning.. Sit with your brew/wine/watever and soak in that stunningly beautiful view. Thank you for sharing this wonderful space. Cant wait to come back.

Karen and Martin Cooper “What can we say ' The Wow Factor', everything about this beautiful cottage is perfect, the location, the view, and decor, The walk.”
Such a wonderful place, i've knitted a cartigan while I've been here. Recommended places: The local coffee houses, the shops so friendly and well stocked. The car park is a must, we used the app to pay before 8am each morning. We went to slimmers world in town too. Well done on creating the most perfect holiday home. You've thought of everything. Amazing, Perfect, Wonderful - please can we come again. Thank you.

Mr + Mrs Simon + Kelly Paine “We would highly recommend.”
The View!! Never a two day the same. Good+Bad weather, it is spectacular!! Local town and parks are lush. Fed the birds and was a fab experience. Try it and see for yourself. Windermere, we done the Blue Cruise, 45 mins went by in a flash!! Thyme Coffee House does lovely greek food, coffee pot doea a lovely filipino menu too. The quality and decor is second to none. It's so beautiful everything you need and more!! Sofa not the most comfortable and kitchen blind from outside in dark very see through, but other than that, Perfect!!
- Mr + Mrs Simon + Kelly Paine, Oct 2022 -
Sophie and Alastair “Thank you for a gorgeous stay, wish we had booked for longer, will certainly be back.”
- Sophie and Alastair, Oct 2022 -
Martin “Property is amazing, picture windows exactly as shown on the site - although it would be nice if the tide came fully in a little more often but not much we can do about nature.”
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
- Martin, September 2022Thanks! Great idea about the freezer. Hadn’t thought. We’d be very pleased to welcome you back anytime! Thanks again Property Owner

Angela “What a privilege to have stayed at this wonderful cottage.”
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.
- Angela, September 2022An 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

Adam “Tall people like myself may knock lights when stand up of the couch , only 3 ...”
Tall people like myself may knock lights when stand up of the couch , only 3 downsides to the place was as follows Lights in awkward position on TV and not a main light in kitchen No door in bedroom so can hear both tvs if 1 is chilling in lounge 1 in bedroom And toilet is to close to shower the door hits toilet if not careful to shower Overall peace was fantastic just minor issues , I would reccomend yes I will be back but funds now come to play

David “Excellent property, wonderful views over bay, centrally located whilst not suffering from any related noise.”
Would recommend use of cheap trains to visit Lancaster and Morecambe. Station can be reached in 10 minutes along promenade. Digital TV signal is intermittent but all main channels available on TV through BBC i player, ITV Hub etc Will definitely return.
- David, July 2022We’re so pleased you had a lovely stay. Thank you for the lovely review and feedback about the TV! Will definitely look into that. We very much look forward to welcoming you back Property Owner

Jerry and Tori “The wonderful everchangingviews.”
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.
- Jerry and Tori, Jul 2022 -
Mr and Mrs Gaskell “The peace and quiet that we so desperately needed!”
! Great restful and relaxing times! We love the cottage and the panoramic views. We recommend going for long walks down the beach and promenade! Enjoyed all the gardens and parks in the area! All very neat and tidy. Thank you for a fabulous place! We'll be coming back, definitely! We loved every minute of it! Very sad that we have to go!!!
- Mr and Mrs Gaskell, Jul 2022 -
Walton “Favorite moments were relaxing watching the wildlife, and people walking, admiring the cottage from the promenade.”
WAS AMAZING. Recommended things to do: Peal Island, boat trip was not expensive, island pub was oldy wordly, walk round castle was lovely. Nice to support local businesses. They also do seal trip which we didnt get time to do, but will certainly do next time. All I can say is fabulous, what a great place for the romantic get away. TIme watching the birds and tides was amazing. WOuld defo come back in spring for the amazing tides, thank you so much.

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.
