Reviews
What a lovely apartment - well equipped, lovely modern decor and super clean! Beautiful views and so well located to have a wander into Grange over Sands for a morning coffee or takeaway in the evening. Train station close by - only 15 min walk along the promenade and handy to go on for other places. Super place and will definitely be booking again!
We had a fabulous week staying at Flaxford House. Booked through Sykes, the apartment was probably the best we have ever stayed in. Parking was good - round the back of the house (bit narrow to drive through, but fine as hubby took responsibility). The accommodation was of a very high standard - the kitchen has recently been re-fitted & is lovely. All the rooms are spacious & comfortable. We took our dog with us - so lovely to find a beautiful apartment that is doggy friendly. Plenty of information for attractions around Grange-Over-Sands. We also enjoyed watching a few of our favourite films on Netflix in the evening. We had never been to Grange - what a gorgeous place. We wandered around the town - the tea-shops are mainly dog friendly. The train station is a 20 minute saunter along the prom & we enjoyed a couple of days out by train. We loved our week so much we've already booked to go again.
A very nicely appointed property, presented to a very high standard and with some useful 'extras.' Grange made an ideal base for a week exploring the Lake District, and it was good to know that there was a range of high quality food shops and other amenities on our doorstep. In short, it was one of those places where it was always nice to come back to at the end of the day, no matter how much fun we had been having.
Great place to stay. We found it ideal. The property is very clean, high standard throughout. Added bonus of free Wi-Fi and Netflix. Nice enclosed garden where the dog could roam freely in and out of the house. Beds were very comfortable. The shower was amazing and powerful. A fault developed with the shower and a plumber was out well within the hour to fix it. I have been going to Grange Over Sands for about 30 years now and consider this one of the best places I have stayed and at a very good price. I will certainly be looking to book again on my next visit to Grange.
Excellent property overall. It is great that one pet is allowed. The enclosed garden was also very good. Location ideal. The shower was excellent. A benefit that bed linen and towels were provided. It is a place we would look to book again.
Spacious ground floor apartment. Clean with crisp fresh linen and towels. We particularly liked the excellent shower-room. Good location within easy walk of town centre and promenade and a nice view of the Estuary/bay.
