I chose the house as it stated it was on a private residential cul de sac with on road parking. Unfortunately this isn’t correct. The information booklet states you have to park on the main road so it’s a case of driving around every time to find a space. A lot of care has been taken to furnish the house upstairs and downstairs but we found some problems in the bathroom and kitchen. The toilet was leaking badly. A foil tray collected the water and it had to emptied daily. The actual toilet was not screwed down so it wobbled. The problem was obviously known about prior to our visit. The kitchen is well equipped but the work surface is very sticky. Heating is set by the owners so you cannot change the temperature. The gas fire heats downstairs but upstairs was a little chilly in the evening and morning. We couldn’t find the information details for the tv channels. Rang Cottages.com but told to contact the owners direct. It was a German number. Maybe the details could be placed inside the house information file. Excellent cycles and helmets are available in the store room. New washing machine. The location is brilliant for visiting the lakes and the surrounding area. Plenty of cafes, restaurants and local shops. I think the house is work in progress and will be worthy of 5 stars soon.

Grange over sands is a nice quiet place, the house was nice and everything you need for a family holiday was there. Would definitely stay again.
