Church View, Grange-Over-Sands

We had a fantastic holiday and our only mistake was not booking for longer! It was very spacious, comfortable and clean. Altogether we'd highly recommend Church View.

This house is beautiful & in a great location. It provided us with a great base for 5 adults and 3 teenagers. This house could be better if it had double glazing which would improve its energy efficiency and help reduce noise.

Doors really heavy. Loads of plates, need removed a few. It was a bit noisy early in morning at times

This was a beautiful house but there are quite a few issues. The first was the smell. There was an awful smell of must as soon as you opened the front door which hit you. The whole of the corridors were like this though thankfully not the main rooms. I had to go and buy air freshener and open all the windows before it was bearable. The carpets are quite heavily stained in the main area leading up to first floor. The bedrooms here were OK though it would have been nice not to have towels that had bloodstains on and sheets that were marked with something. The living room was lovely but the remote control was missing for the TV. It was eventually found at the end of the stay under the unit. It was also quite dusty in here. The kitchen was lovely and big but the kitchen table was rickety and very sticky. It had to be cleaned before usage. The utensils were all filthy and all had to be washed before usage. The freezer was unusable due to it being completely iced up and the fridge could also do with defrosting as it was also heavily iced. Tea towels stunk of grease so I had to wash one before it was usable. The utility room was horrendous, the smell in there made it completely unbearable. The tumble dryer still had water in it so that had to be disposed off before use. The upstairs rooms were fine but the en suite on the top floor does suffer from low water pressure so if somebody is having a bath or shower downstairs it can't be used for at least an hour as you won't get any water apart from cold. This should be made clear. I did ask for extra bedding which was left folded on the bed settee. I eventually found the duvet and one pillow just thrown into the ottoman at the foot of the bed, which has a broken lid. This is such a beautiful house it is such a shame that the upkeep is sadly lacking. The whole place could do with a thorough deep clean and some maintenance done on the property.

Lovely place, really comfy and cosy. Everything and more you need for a comfortable stay. Lovely, log burner that we didn't get to light as the weather was beautiful late October. Loved it. We will definitely be looking to book again in the future. Possible considerations the sky light in top floor single room could do with a cleanreplacing. Could do with an outside light on the courtyard. There might be one, but we couldn't see it.

Overall, it was a nice place to stay. Very well equipped, particularly the kitchen. Lots of towels. Spare bedding if needed. Washing machine and dryer provided although a clothes horse would have been useful, and would probably save the owner money on energy usage. The listing was somewhat misleading, saying that there were six steps up to the property. There were, but there is also a staircase indoors going up to the accommodation. We had a party member with limited mobility and this was a struggle at times. The smallest bedroom on the top floor had a velux window which didnt openit was quite hot because of this. Location is very nice, and the lido is due to reopen next year.

This was an excellent property to stay at. The house itself was lovely and well appointed . The house has the added bonus of being central and within walking distance of all local amenities. We had a marvelous time.
