2 Beacon High, Grange-over-Sands

Rated 4/50 by EarnestSurrey on 1st October 2017

"The decor was of the highest standard and was a very comfortable cottage. Beware arriving when it's dark and wet though! No light left on and had to climb slippery wet steps in the pitch dark. Also difficult to locate 'green' shed in the dark where the key was located. One match left out with which to light a fire. Other than that, it was a delightful place."

"This lovely cottage is tastefully furnished and decorated - even better than it looks in the photos. It is very well equipped and has good central heating and an open fire if required. There is one shop in the village and the Royal Oak at the top of the village serves very good food. Grange over Sands is only a few minutes away for more shops and Carmel is about 10 minutes away and has several good restaurants. The cottage had good wifi but we could not get any signal for our O2 mobile and this was a common problem in the whole area. There are a few steps between the parking area and the cottage so not suitable for disabled/frail."

"The house was very comfortable and cosy and we loved it. We felt very at home and everything seemed to have been thought of that you could need. The weather was just starting to get a bit colder and the central heating meant the house was lovely and warm. We catered for ourselves and had all the kitchen equipment we needed. We slept well as the house is in a quiet location. My husband was very pleased with the Smart TV and wifi. We were well situated for trips to Lakes Coniston and Windermere and enjoyed a walk round Tarn Hows. Kendal is certainly worth a visit. We also went to Sizergh Castle and Furness Abbey. We were there for a short break but wished we had booked for longer. It is a lovely cottage to stay in and we will go for longer next time."

"Charming holiday cottage on 2 levels, well equipped and very comfortable. Located in Lindale which is a small village with two pubs (only one serving food when we visited) and a PO/General Store. However, Grange-Over-Sands is only 5 mins away and offers a number of good shops, cafes and restaurants. A great base for exploring the Lakes as short trips take you to all of the main locations."

"Warm, welcoming and comfortable well equipped but couldn't find a hairdryer but that was a very small thing. We thoroughly enjoyed our week here the area has some lively walks and is a good starting point for visiting the lakes even by public transport."

"Lovely cosy cottage. Beautifully decorated and had everything we needed. We stayed with our 3 year old and 6 month old. The bedroom layout was perfect so we could have the baby in another room but still close enough (and there was space for a travel cot in our room if we'd wanted). Had to call the owners to ask a question and they were so friendly and helpful. Good location for exploring the rest of the lake district. The lindale inn does very good food and the owners were friendly and helpful. We'd definitely stay here again another year."

"First time using Sykes and will certainloy be returning to them for another break. No problems and received regular email updates with driving directions and entrance instructions. The cottage was easily found with either some very simple directions supplied or by Sat Nav. We found this cottage nice and centrally located for our weeks holiday and proved to be a good base for us and what we chose to do. It's only a short drive to the Windermere and Kendal for example. Well worth the drive to Ulverstone via the Kirk Stone Pass to Ullswater Lake and a cruise on there. Even closer is Grange over Sands a nice quaint town, shame there was no beach there though. Cottage has a nice blend of old v new decoration with a very nicely finished kitchen and main bathroom whilst the rest of the cottage had more rustic feel to it. Only grumble about the cottage we had was the bed / matress in the main bedroom. I Personally feel that these could do with being replaced as both my wife and I found this very uncomfortable which stopped us from giving an excellant review for comfort. Worth noting for members of the National Trust that you will get free car parking in a number of car parks which could work out saving a small fortune over the time of a holiday in the Lake District"

"The cottage was accessed by a steep stepped garden path, fortunately our party of three septuagenarians was able to use this.The garden and outside siting area were delightful.The parking space was rather cramped when the occupant of the other cottage was in residence.Information about the location and distance from the nearest large stores was not supplied. The use of upstairs space was imaginative. The beds were superb. The shower room off the kitchen was useful but not convenient. There was a motley collection of crockery which served its purpose but was not in the least elegant. I think the property suffers from having non resident owners who live in Harrogate. The local caretaker was not aware that the tap assembly in the bathroom needed attention until I phoned him.A note explaining damage to a garden seat by the previous tenant had been ignored., I drew his attention to this. Perhaps a log book for written suggestions on maintenance needs would be the answer. Lindale is well placed for visiting the South Lakes and we throughly enjoyed our stay."

"The cottage exceeded expectations. The location in Lindale was excellent, and the cottage was furnished to a very high standard. A bonus was the Lindale Inn only 5 minutes walk away, with real ale and excellent home cooked food."
