It is clean, comfortable and spacious with loads of crockery and a good range of kitchen equipment. We visited in September so the weather was warm but very changeable, the veranda at the back of the house means you can enjoy sitting outside even when it's raining! We were very grateful for the use of the EV charger, it meant we didn't need to worry about where to charge our car and just enjoy our holiday. Grange over Sands is a lovely place to visit and gives you easy access to the whole of the lake district and all the different activities on offer. Sarah and Richard are great hosts.

The facilities are all to a high standard and the house is very well equipped. There was ample parking for our four cars and the location in the centre of Grange was perfect- close to shops, cafes, bakeries, take-aways and a 5 minute walk from the promenade. We found this a perfect place to stay with trips to Cartmel, Silverdale (Holgates) and Windemere. Sarah and Richard were great hosts and very helpful.
