"I have stayed here previously and the new kitchen, new bathroom and other updates made the flat very comfortable for my recent holiday."
It was a pleasure to be there. As always the views were stunning. I will definitely stay again.
Thank you for your lovely feedback. You were the first to test the new kitchen. I'm so pleased that everything was good for you. Come back soon! Regards, Mike Property Owner

"Ideal location if you want access to the south lakes, the coast, or the dales."
The flat is a very good base, everything you could want is included. The view from the window is very nice. I took my bike, cycling into the south lakes is pretty easy with many back roads around Cartmel and Cartmel fell.
Thank you for your great review. Things have been difficult for everyone and your comments are a real tonic. Please return, we are just fitting a new kitchen! Mike. Property Owner

"Lovely location - awful, awful condition."
Dirty towels, dried food in the microwave, rusty pans that couldn't be used, scratched and greasy frying pans with non-stick coating flaking off, absolutely disgusting dirty and mouldy shower curtain, utensils in the drawers that still had dried food attached, dirty mugs in the cupboard, food debris down the side of the cooker... all photographed and reported to Sykes. Oh, yes, dirty freezer and fridge with gunky food residue and the stair handrail was sticky and dirty... all of this in a time of a Covid pandemic... so much for Covid-safe cleaning! I spent a good couple of hours washing and cleaning just to feel safe enough to stay overnight. As an aside, the bed is rock hard and the floorboards creak loudly (and I mean loud enough to echo through the whole flat). Honestly - I cannot even comprehend how the owner feels that a mouldy shower curtain, still caked in dirty sludge, is acceptable for his customers. Similarly, would he want to cook with rusty flaking saucepans or use utensils that have melted through to the nylon core all complete with added dried on food debris? This is a lovely, budget-friendly apartment but a low price shouldn't mean lower hygiene and cleanliness. What a pity that housekeeping issues completely ruined our time there.
Thank you for your feedback. I have inspected the property after you left - the cleaners had been in before I got there. The apartment was acceptably clean and tidy. Some of the pans had had the non-stick coating damaged and have been
replaced with stainless steel ones. The cleaning, company have been under pressure during covid - for obvious reasons.
I had not been told of any particular problems.
I am sorry that you felt that the apartment did not come up to your very high standards.

"A lovely apartment, with beautiful views of the Morecambe Bay Estuary, with comfortable swivel chairs to look through the Juliet Balcony at it."
Bed not quite so comfortable, but O.K. Quiet residential area and, as stated, a very steep hill ... but an easy walk to the top of Hampsfell. However, without a car, not easy to nip out for a pint of milk. It was hard work pulling my suitcase up from the Railway Station! Lots of maps and details of walks in the area.
Sorry about the creaks. The floor is solid concrete - the creaks are from the boards on top. I am trying to find a solution. It only happens occasionally, and apartments below cannot hear it. Thanks for your feedback. Property Owner

"The apartment is comfortable and clean and as spectacular views overlooking Morecombe Bay."
We found the only down side to the apartment is the extremely creaky floor boards throughout the property. Every step you take creaks, it's unavoidable and when two of you are moving around at the same time its quite off-putting and noisy .

"Clean and comfortable apartment with great views over Grange out to Morecombe Bay."
Very quiet and peaceful, surrounded by greenery, it was lovely to sit with patio window open in fine weather. Neighbours were quiet and pleasant, with good parking and rubbish / recycling provision for the apartment blocks. The property would probably suit keen walkers needing a comfortable base rather than indoor down-timers or keen cooks. There are limited options for a short stroll due to uphill position - a car is more or less essential to go down into town for shopping or a walk along the front - and the lack of wi-fi is a big drawback, particularly as phone connectivity was weak and unreliable. (However freeview TV, DVD and CD player all worked well.) Despite this, it was a good spot for me being 2 minutes walk away from relatives and I will book again.

"There is only one matter I'd like to draw attention to and this concerns the cleanliness of the kitchen door ."
There was some grime where people commonly touch the door with their hands under the area of the handles and this was most apparent to the rear side facing the rubbish bin behind the door. Other doors needed less attention in this respect.
I would also draw your attention to the bin being so very close to the warm air ventilation duct as this increases the potential for bad odours coming from the bin and possibly even a fire hazard if the bin's contents were particularly flammable,- although this is improbable.
I hope you attended to renewing the strip light filament in the kitchen as this declined to illuminate in the evenings. The area immediately behind the entrance door reflects some dampness but these odours were managed by the wall heater in that area.
Overall I enjoyed my week in the flat and would come there again.

"This apartments was absolutely to my taste."
A modern finishing, everything there, you would need. I stayed for 4 weeks in total, and each fFriday I got a new set of towels, beddings, even a basket for breakfast was prepared, with coffee, milk, cacao, jam, biscuits, so absolutely sweet!
The accommodation was very clean and tidy, the views were stunning, the neighbours friendly and quiet.
No one could ask for more,
The kitchen was well equipped, and so nice, that even, me with my poor abilties in cooking felt tempted to try.
If my husband had been with me, I really would...
There was only one single thing, that could be improved;
The bathroom is very nice, but I would prefer a Glas separation instead of a ? Sheet? ( Sorry, I am German)
The contact to the owner was very nice, he helped me out, when I had difficulties with understanding the carefully done instructions, because English isn’t my first language.
I already booked for next year, what better praise should I give.
Thank you so much,
Best regards

"Meeting up with three branches of our family staying in separate accommodation in the area for the week, we found it easy to link up, see the sights, and only had to look out of our window to see Morecambe Bay."
Suggestion made in visitors book of blackout curtains for the bedroom window, would have been helpful when we woke early to bright sunshine, but that's a quibble!

"The apartment had all the facilities I needed for a comfortable week and was very warm and cosy."
The view from the lounge and kitchen windows was delightful - right across the Bay. Even though it was February, if the sun was out, I didn't even need the heating on as the place warmed up so much with the sun pouring through the big picture windows. The area was very quiet and peaceful and, providing you are fit enough to manage the very steep hill on the way back, walkable down to the wonderful promenade and shops in Grange itself.
My only negative was that, despite trying on numerous occasions, I couldn't get in touch with the owner to get the keysafe code. Fortunately, Sykes were able to give me the code, but I then had problems when I arrived finding where the keysafe was especially as there were 2 hidden in a storecupboard! Had I been able to contact the owner, it would probably have been made clear which keysafe to use and where to find it. However, again, Sykes were extremely helpful and eventually sorted it for me so I could get in. This would not deter me from returning for another holiday as the apartment is lovely but it is worth mentioning as it made the process more difficult than it should have been. Many thanks to Sykes though for sorting it out for me.
