Oversands Cottage

We had a wonderful stay for our first family holiday with our ten week old baby.

Super cosy, amazing views, perfect to sit outside with a brew or a wine. Close to the promenade and lots of lovely places to eat and visit. We strolled along the promenade in Grange and visited Cartmel and Arnside. Perfect first holiday, would come again!

Very enjoyable holiday although bed a bit uncomfortable & a thinner duvet would have been preferable.

Due to the heat it took a few days to get used to the overnight noise from the nearby road & railway.

Loved the property.

Amazing view of Morecambe Bay & its birds from lounge picture window. Excellent kitchen area. Stylishly attractive, brilliantly designed property to fit the small constrained plot. A bit short on clothes storage which was a compromise which probably had to be made.

Un lieu avec un cachet particulier et une vue admirable.

L'endroit a une architecture particulier et remarquable. Comme il surplombe la pleine inondable sans aucun autre bâtiment devant lui, il offre une vue extraordinaire. Les plus: - Cachet: vraiment unique - Confort - Position proche des commerce dans la ville - Qualité de la literie - Architecture bien conçue et cuisine très bien pourvue Les moins: - Parc de la voiture public demandant de se lever le matin pour payer - On entend légèrement la route sur l'arrière (perso, ne m'a pas dérangé). Je conseille vivement cette location.

Brilliant location, quirky well equipped cottage but we hadn’t picked up the bedroom was open to the Lounge.

Owner was very helpful and welcoming. We will return.

Lovely property, great location and well equipped.

Only two small negative comments. The parasol was broken and had been reported by previous occupants but not replaced. The weather was very hot so uncomfortable to sit outside. A visit from the gardener is overdue.

A beautifully situated cottage with outstanding views.

Good amenities and a perfect spot to explore the area.

A very comfortable cottage.

Extremely clean, with good facilities in kitchen and a comfortable bed. Superb views out over Morecambe Bay. Convenient for Grange Over Sands railway station (and buses) and shops, pubs & other facilities. The owner was very helpful when I lost a key while out walking.

Well appointed and wonderfully situated, the cottage provides spectacular, constantly changing views over Morcambe Bay.

The shops and restaurants of Grange are plentiful and only a short, easily walkable, distance away. Equally, the railway station is walkable providing a good service to local towns and villages.

Absolutely perfect The cottage is beautiful and with stunning views over Morecambe Bay Everything that is needed has been provided for both comfort and convenience I would love to make a return visit

Fabulous quirky accommodation finished to an extremely high standard in an enviable location and position directly overlooking the bay.

Looking through every window is like looking at a painting. We were lucky enough to experience the moon on the water at night and a spectacular sunrise ( viewed whilst in bed!). Very well equipped house and the space is well thought out considering it's size but ideal for 2 for a short break. Extremely close to amenities. No parking on site so extra parking charges to be considered

The cottage was unique and gave lovely views from both the lounge and the bed!

! The facilities were super and for the time of year cosy and warm. The small bottles of wine and thick bread for toast were a lovely extra

Lovely place to stay.

Cottage has everything you need. Views are amazing. Surrounding area is very nice with some great walks locally, or within a short rail journey. Would certainly recommend a visit.

I had a wonderful stay at Oversands Cottage.

The views from it are spectacular.

Delightful cosy little cottage, perfect for two.

Stunning views, great location. Easy to load / unload car, car park just a short walk away.

Great little place to spend even the rainiest days in the lakes - views over the ever changing landscape great to wake up to.

We didnt eat in, as on our hols but well equipped if you wanted to. Cosy in the evening to come back to & whilst adjacent to a train line with occasional noise from it it didnt interrupt the peace of our stay. Great connectivity by road or rail to other surrounding areas with local eateries nearby & Cartmel walkable 45 mins to an 1hr . Would definitely look to stay again in the future and have no hesitation in recommending it.

A perfect relaxation retreat, a real gem .

An excellent cottage in all respects good location and perfect views.

Our only downside was being able to control the temperature in a better way than turning heater off altogether otherwise happy faces all round

Stunning views Unique property Quiet relaxing

Beautiful location.

House was lovely and clean. Only gripes really are change washing machine to dish washer and provide more than 1 toilet roll !

Oversands is a perfect getaway for 2 people.

The cottage is beautifully designed, decorated and equipped. The views of Morecambe Bay are breathtaking. Grange has everything you could want- all within walking distance. The trains that pass close to the cottage didn’t bother us at all . The car park is a 5 minute walk away. We had a wonderful short break and would love to return soon.

An absolutely idyllic stay.

Very peaceful location, the cottage was clean and we found everything we could have possibly needed to hand. Great attention to detail from tea, coffee, wine to extra blankets and board games

Shame about the shower cubicle.

Bottom 4 tiles cracked. Need replacing and tray resealed with fresh mastic

Absolutely amazing views across the bay from the panoramic windows and patio area.

The stunning location is very close to all the local amenities too. However, it is also very close to the road behind and the railway line in front. I found the traffic noise quite intrusive. The 05:30 trains waking me early each morning, followed by increasing car and lorry noise. The lack of blind on the east facing back door didn’t help either, as sunlight was so bright, once woken, I couldn’t get back to sleep. Space in the bedroom is quite limited, but a small set of drawers would have been appreciated, rather than having to use the under bed drawers for smaller, non-hanging items of clothing, etc.

We were delighted with Oversands Cottage.

Wonderfully situated, it was clean, well furnished and a pleasure to stay in. It is close to a number of good eating establishments and a variety of shops in Grange. This was our visit to the Cottage but it will not be our last.

Lovely views .

Clean and airy apartment with all that you need . Good base for centre . Train station within walking distance .

Third time here, and just love this place The views from the large well placed windows are just fab.

Watching lots of birds and watching the bay fill up and empty each day you can't tire of. Some great places to eat in Grange, the Estuary bistro being our favourite, but also great is Thyme, At Home cafe & Bistro, Hazelmere Cafe & Bakery and last but not least the promenade cafe. Train station in Grange is great for getting to places easily, we went to Arnside, Lancaster and Ulverston. Lovely shops in Grange, fantastic butchers and bakers, amazing fresh bakes in both. A fabulous handmade chocolate shop, they also have a great cafe. The cottage itself is lovely, but, constructive cristisms for the people that manage this place, we felt standards are starting to drop and agree with some other reviews/feedback:- Bedding - although perfectly clean it is looking a little worn, with a couple of small holes. (Bed really comfortable though). Bathroom - there is an odd smell in the bathroom, think this may be down to the mould/black stuff starting to form around the outside of the shower door, and the seat in the shower. This really shouldn't be happening if it is cleaned properly, and treated as soon as it starts. Guests have to check out at 10am, and can't check in until 4pm, so there is plenty of time for a deep clean each week. No toiletries provided other than hand-wash, I'm afraid these days it is expected than showergel and mostriser at the very least is provided, especially at over £100 per night, standard practice now for good quality cottages. There were two toilet rolls though. Welcome pack - no welcome pack, not even a small milk. Again, pretty standard practice now with this standard of cottage (and price), it would be a nice personal touch to have a small welcome pack. There is a large garden umbrella, which is useful in the lovely suntrap front overlooking the bay, however, no base, so we had to cobble something together and attached it to the fence, which did work, but not ideal. Settee - we think it is comfortable, but agree with a previous review that there are marks on it that would come off I think with a good clean. All above said, we do still love this place, it would get a 5 out of 5 plus, if the above were addressed. It is a great romantic couples retreat, so quiet and relaxing, no noisy neighbours. Smart TVs, so you can watch your Netflix/Prime/ITVx etc whilst chilling in the evenings.

Absolute gem, very clean, great view, private, comfortable, warm, really nice decoration.

I just loved my stay. And hope to come back

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!

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.

We have loved our second stay at Oversands Cottage.

Thank you.

We enjoyed our stay thoroughly and would love to come back another time

Beautiful cottage with stunning views that you just would not get bored off.

A lovely property, perfectly located for relaxing and exploring.

We will definitely be recommending to others.

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

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!

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.

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.

Amazing cottage our 2nd stay there.

Views are fantastic constantly changing depending om weather.Very clean everything in kitchen you could want.Great powerful shower comfy bed and sofa.Just a really perfect cottage with the amazing views.Look forward to staying again.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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 :)

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!

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.

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.

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.

The pictures looked amazing, and when we walked into the cottage, it was perfect.

It had everything we needed for our stay. It was very cosy. Bed was super comfy. We had an amazing week.

We had the best week ever at Oversands Cottage, the weather was warm and sunny, the view spectacular, the cottage clean and comfortable.

We didn’t want to leave!

What a find.

We loved our short stay at this beautiful cottage. The weather wasn't great but we so enjoyed the stunning views and just spending time in the cottage.

Superb property.

Gorgeous views and a handy location. £1 car parking tip much appreciated. Settee not very comfortable but looked good. Will definitely return. Thank you for sharing this lovely home.

Great property with that excellent view.

Spotlessly clean and tidy, with all the home comforts you would expect. Nice touches from the owner, who has clearly thought of everything. Nothing to fault and highly recommend.

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.

A perfect,clean and beautiful cottage.

Enjoyed every moment and especially the fantastic views.Hope to return in the near future

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

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.

We had a great week at Oversands Cottage.

It is a wonderful place with fantastic views. It was a great base to explore the surrounding area but also just to sit and relax. Could not fault anything . A fantastic place to stay.

Lovely property with fabulous views accross the bay.

Would rate it as perfect if it only had parking.

We had & amazing stay in the beautiful cottage, very clean & it had everything we needed, wud definitely stay again !

The most amazing views we av every seen, so peaceful

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

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.

Fantastic cottage, beautiful setting, we watched the sunsets every night.

Spotless in side and out, very well equipped, will highly recommend to anyone. Thanks for a great holiday.

Amazing cottage with the most beautiful views you would never tire of.

Clean warm and cosy we cant wait to go back again.

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.

A lovely property with outstanding views across the bay ,

Very clean with fantastic sea views

Lovely cottage.

The property was spotlessly clean, great facilities and Absolutely stunning views, and there’s a really nice walk along the promenade.

This is a first class property.

All appliances are good brands, and the design of this sweet house has been carefully designed. We enjoyed our stay very much and were very content, warm and comfortable. It was our pleasure to leave it clean and tidy in readiness for your next visitors. Thank you.

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

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.

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

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.

Beautiful place to stay.

Magical views. Great place to stay, to recharge and relax.

A well maintained property

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!!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!!

Well designed property in a perfect location for anyone looking for a break from the hustle & bustle.

Very clean and tidy, everything we could have wanted. Would highly recommend, thank you!

A wonderful place to forget about all the worries in the world today.

Spent as much time watching nature through your picture window as we did. The TV became 2nd best to the world through the window.

Thank you for such a beautiful presented accommodation.

It's unique and the details is quite stunning.

Thank you for a gorgeous stay, wish we had booked for longer, will certainly be back.
