Guests say

The Clock Tower in Grange-Over-Sands is highly praised for its cleanliness, unique charm, and well-stocked facilities, including a popular hot tub. Guests appreciate the property's ideal location for exploring the area and the thoughtful touches by the hosts, such as welcome gifts. While there are some concerns about the suitability for small children and hot tub privacy, the overall sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, with many guests eager to return.

Reviews consistently mention the property being 'perfectly clean', 'spotlessly clean', and 'extremely clean and tidy', indicating a very high standard of cleanliness that guests are satisfied with.

The property's location is frequently highlighted as 'great', 'ideal', and 'brilliant', with its proximity to local attractions and ease of access to nearby towns and nature spots.

Guests find the Clock Tower comfortable, noting 'super comfy' beds and a 'cosy' living room. However, some mention the upper floor rooms being a bit of a struggle for taller guests, slightly impacting the comfort score.

Facilities are generally well-regarded, with a 'well-stocked' kitchen and a 'brilliant' hot tub. Maintenance of the hot tub is noted as attentive, though some guests felt this was intrusive, affecting the score slightly.

Many reviews express gratitude for the thoughtful touches like welcome packs and decorations for special occasions. While these are appreciated, it is important to note that such personal touches are subject to change and may not be guaranteed for every stay.
