“Property is showing that it is at the end of a summer season with owners who are perhaps more focused on selling rather than letting.”

cobwebs and multiple bulbs out, toilet seat wrongly sized, small window pane with hole in stairwell window, bathroom floor tiles broken. No welcome basket( a pint of milk and a couple of coffee pods to get started would have been perfect ), nice setting but difficult to find due to its setting at the back of the cottages fronting the road.

“We loved this cottage.”

Since we found it on the site, we were looking forward to staying there. Very stylish decor and charming touches on the wall. (We like mountains so we want the same posters now) As we have teenagers they want own spaces, but can be gathering at dining space and island kitchen. This cottage was perfect for us. We went different places in Lake District by car and walked to the beach during our stay. We found the footpath just off road outside of cottage where can lead to the bottom of the main road. So we didn’t to have to walk main road with our dog. It was good exploring around the beach and town centre on the sunny day. Unfortunately we had a raining day (as usual in Lake District). We just stayed at cottage and had a relaxing time. Only my personal choice but main bed mattress was too soft and so were pillows. The duvet was too warm for me. Unfortunately I couldn’t sleep well. I wish I could have a choice of summer duvets and different pillows. Maybe only me, because my husband said ok and kids said beds were good. Overall we enjoyed cottage holiday in Lake District.

“This really is a 5 star property, we just where unlucky!”

The positives: Really nice 3 bed cottage, with everything that you need to have a really comfortable stay! Such as well equipped kitchen, decorated to a modern taste, great TV inc. Sky, great WiFi and event a 7kw electric car charger. The negatives: parking is a bit of a tight squeeze especially in a large car. Sadly for us, we had a electrical issue which meant we had no central heating or hot water during our first nights stay. We contacted the owner, who responded immediately and had somebody come around the next day. This is the only reason for the 4 star, otherwise it would have been a 5 star!

“The property was well maintained and well equipped.”

It was tastefully done and the kitchen was absolutely fabulous. we cooked a Christmas meal for five without any problems. The only problem was that we had difficulty finding the cottage in the dark (as 4pmm in winter was very dark) and went all the way to the neighbours cottage at the top of the hill. He very kindly came out and guided as to the cottage.

“Absolutely stunning cottage in a stunning location!”

We had a great week with 2 8year old boys and a frenchie. Everything was to perfection and I will 100% be returning! Only critique would be that the garden gate does not close and forms part of the shared driveway, so I was more conscious about the boys, but minor :) Thank you for having us! X

Thank you so much for your great feedback! We look forward to welcoming you and your family back soon! X Property Owner

“No on street parking lay by 200 yards away on a busy road.”

No path to walk from lay by and no lighting on this stretch of road. We had 2 small children we either dropped off at cottage or walk to cottage. This listing needs to change immediately as it states on street parking, which is false

- Michael, August 2023

Thanks for taking time to leave your feedback, We are confused as there is private parking at the cottage for 1 car right next to the cottage, to the left of the front door. Once again, thanks for taking the time to provide feedback. Property Owner
Clare July 2023

“Lovely place to stay we really enjoyed ourselves.”

We were very lucky with the weather and made the most of sitting in the garden . Only a short walk through the woods into Grange. It is a good base to visit places such as Arnside , Silverdale & Windermere. We will be back

- Clare, July 2023

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback! So glad you love the cottage as much as we do! We look forward to welcoming you back to pear tree cottage. Property Owner
Richard June 2023

“A comfortable and well-equipped cottage with a very pleasant garden.”

The owners were very helpful over an issue we had and we appreciated their being so accessible. We enjoyed walks from the cottage and along the promenade and we found the shops and a bistro in town very good indeed.

- Richard, June 2023

Thank you Richard for taking the time for your review, we really appreciate it! The walks are our favourite part of the location of the cottage, sea one side mountains the other! Property Owner
Michael May 2023

“Pear Tree Cottage is a very welcoming, comfortable and beautifully decorated holiday home.”

The pretty garden is well maintained and secluded. The electric charger was the main reason we initially booked as chargers in the Lake District are few and far between, and having one at the cottage relieves any stress of finding one. Grange-Over-Sands proved to be a really good base to explore, also offering walks from the doorstep. Fabulous cafe, bakery and butchers locally which we would definitely recommend. Very friendly town and would certainly return to explore further.

- Michael, May 2023

Hi Michael and thank you for leaving your review and good feedback! Yes we also found Grange a very friendly place with lots of amenities but not as manic as other parts of the lake district! Property Owner
Caroline April 2023

“Pear Tree Cottage is a charming Lakeland house.”

It has been cleverly renovated with a very comfortable open kitchen and dining area which is plenty big enough for six. There is smaller cozy sitting/TV room with a log fire. The bedrooms were also well laid out and a decent size. There are lovely walks from the house and it is well situated for exploring the South Lakes area.

- Caroline, April 2023

Hi Caroline, thank you for taking time to leave this lovely review. We are so happy that you and your family had a lovely time ! Property Owner
James April 2023

“The house is cosy, lovely and really well furnished.”

My family and I had a great time staying here and I would highly recommend Pear Tree Cottage to anyone thinking of taking a holiday in the lakes.

Thank you so much for your great feedback, very much appreciated! Property Owner
Andrew February 2023

“We could quite happily have moved in to Pear Tree Cottage, it’s so beautiful!”

The owners obviously have a keen eye for interiors and have filled the place with stylish, yet comfortable furniture and really lovely fixtures and fittings, plus the odd quirky little feature. It has everything you could possibly need in a home away from home. Don’t be put off by lack of sink in the kitchen. It has a gorgeous little side kitchen/utility just off the main one that houses the sink, dishwasher and washing machine. The big bonus for us, having an electric vehicle, was the charging point. It meant we didn’t have to worry about finding places to charge whilst out and about. It really is one of the nicest cottages we’ve had the pleasure of staying in.

- Andrew, February 2023

Wow thank you so much for taking the time to leave your great review! We are so happy you liked everything and also appreciated the love we have poured into Pear Tree cottage. Reviews like yours makes it all worthwhile. Sincere thanks once again. Property Owner

Wow thank you so much for your kind feedback! We are so glad you liked our interior design and it enhanced the enjoyment of your holiday! We look forward to welcoming you again soon. Property Owner
Andy August 2022

“Beautiful cottage with everything we needed.”

Lovely peaceful setting, 5 minutes walk from Grange and 45 minutes walk over the moor from Cartmel. Bit form over function though with boatloads of breakable clutter and weird choices like no kitchen tap.

- Andy, August 2022
Julie August 2022

“Beautiful cottage in a great location for visiting the lakes.”

Pear tree cottage is stunning inside and out, with every little detail beautifully presented, from the pretty garden and lovely seating at the top, with fantastic views, to the inside decor. Everything you could possibly need is there, we didn’t want to leave!!

- Julie, August 2022

Thank you so much for your great feedback! We are so happy that you love Pear Tree as much as we do! We tried to make it quirky, memorable and different from the norm whilst working with the great character of the cottage which dates back around 300 years! Thank you again for your 100% feedback Property Owner
Pat June 2022

“We had a lovely stay at Pear Tree Cottage, very well equipped and comfortable.”

However I do feel the living room needs more comfortable seating, and I do wonder how 6 people could fit on the one settee. The window seat is not really an option for relaxing in the evening. I do find it a little insulting to be asked to strip the beds prior to departure. This is something I used to have to do years ago when staying at youth hostels. When paying just under a thousand pounds for a 5-night stay, I would have expected this to be part of the housekeeper's role. I have stayed in many cottages over the years and have never been asked to strip beds, and although a 5 minute job, just takes the edge off the stay. I do enough of that at home!

- Pat, June 2022

Thank you for your feedback we are happy you had good stay. We don't take bookings for 6 adults based on the size of the lounge, only 4 adults max. We really thought about the best way to get more seating in the lounge but due to the solid stone walls and log burner we did the best we could. The kitchen and dining space is much larger and we use that space a lot when we stay for playing games etc. The stripping of beds is a new COVID rule that our cleaners insist on I'm afraid.

“Beautiful cottage , fabulous garden .”

Clean and comfortable with amazing decor. Everything provided for and would definitely book again !!. Loved it

- Stephanie, April 2022

Thank you so much for your great feedback, the garden is lovely when its sunny and very relaxing! It took some thinking about with the décor, we are glad you liked it as much as we do! We look forward to welcoming you back! Property Owner
Donna April 2022

“Loved the cottage and the location, I would definitely stay here again.”

Thank you so much for Donna for your lovely feedback, we are so happy you enjoyed your stay and look forward to welcoming you back very soon :-) Property Owner
James April 2022

“Beautiful cottage, every comfort has been thought of.”

Lovely walks in surrounding area.

- James, April 2022

Thank you James for your lovely feedback, we are so happy you enjoyed your stay! The walks around the cottage and over to Cartmel and amazing! Property Owner
Carolyn March 2022

“Sink is in a completely different room to the kitchen.”

This makes the house not suitable for people with any mobility issues. Vert inconvenient. The bathroom sink is very cracked.

- Carolyn, March 2022

Thank you for your feedback, we hope you found the rest of the cottage and quality to your satisfaction and had a lovely break. Pear Tree Cottage dates back to the 1700s and the layout is certainly quirky! The sink is in the utility room adjacent to the kitchen with kettle, tea and coffee, toaster and microwave. We would agree that the cottage is not suitable for people with mobility issues as the bedrooms and bathroom are on the first floor. Regarding the bathroom sink, it is historic to the cottage and dates back to the 1920's, the glazing is 'crazed' rather than cracked and doesn't leak. Property Owner
Lori February 2022

“Beatiful cottage.”

Everything you could need. Just a pity the wood burner was not available when we stayed in February. A problem with the chimney.

- Lori, February 2022

Many thanks for your lovely comments about Pear Tree Cottage, we are so happy you enjoyed your stay! Apologies about the chimney issue, we booked in the work as soon as we found out and this is being resolved by the 8th April. Kind regards Richard Property Owner

Wake-up and join your guests out in the large, enclosed garden for a tasty alfresco breakfast, as you make plans for the day and a barbecue in the evening.

Head into the local town where you can soak up the views with a stroll along the Grange-Over-Sands Promenade, followed by a delicious ice cream or pub lunch at one of the nearby eateries.

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.
