8 Kents Bank House, Allithwaite

A beautiful and stylish apartment. We had a fantastic weekend visiting Grange-over-Sands, Cartmel and Kendal. The apartment is in a fantastic location with great access to the lakes on foot, car or train. The beds were comfy, the rooms were spacious, the apartment was really well equipped with everything you might need. The hosts were also really accommodating and ensured we had all the information we needed to enjoy our stay. We'll definitely be staying again!

Had the pleasure of staying for a weekend break and everything was superb. We were reassured by all the fantastic reviews on the Sykes Cottages website as the property has a 4.97 out of 5 rating. Definately agree with the other 5 star rating on Trip Adviser. Beautiful quiet walks on the doorstep, world class dining in nearby Cartmel, everything you need in Grange-over-Sands and the perfect base for exploring the lakes.

We booked this apartment as part of our 40th wedding anniversary, a big event, a one off and we hoped to make some pleasant memories. We were very impressed on arrival. However after the first night my wife noticed a small bug in the bed, a bit concerned we had a look around but couldn't see anything. However during that day we became aware of bites all over us, my wife was badly bitten on her leg I was bitten on my back. Sadly we made the decision that we could not stay there for another night. We tried to contact the owner to get her to come while we were still at the property so she could see the bites and look at the beds. No one was willing to attend so we had to leave. Our anniversary was in ruins, restaurants cancelled and what should have been memorable for good memories was no longer. Did we get any kind of refund? No is the answer, didn't even get a proper apology from the owner. We booked through Sykes Cottages who were about as much use as a chocolate teapot. They "investigated" it without speaking to us at all and came to the conclusion that we couldn't have a refund.

Stayed at 8 Kents Bank House for 4 nights with my family and family pet. Firstly, the accommodation was not a disappointment, it was well equipped and I could not fault the cleanliness of the property. The location is also a bonus as it looks over Morecombe Bay and is right next to Kents Bank train station that allows you to travel to the centre of Grange Over Sands or Cark. This came in very handy when me and my father-in-law went to watch football at the Keg and Kitchen and struggled to find a taxi after the match. Another bonus is that you are only a short car journey to Lakeside and then the rest of Windermere. If you are booking 8 Kents Bank House, I would highly recommend a trip to The Pheasant Inn Allithwaite Rd, Allithwaite, Grange-over-Sands LA11 7RQ, the food and service was excellent and on our 4 day stay over we went twice. Overall, we had a fantastic stay at 8 Kents Bank House and I would highly recommend this accommodation to any of my friends and family and I am sure we will return in the near future.

The accomodation was very well situated for great walks, as well as within easy reach of major roads to travel and explore this wonderful area. The property was decorated to a very high standard, and the amount and quality of equipment was first class. We were a family of 6, including 2 young children, and there was ample space and room for everyone. We were very impressed with this property and will certainly look to return in the future.

Not sure if we were the first to stay here. The entire experience was the result of someone putting great thought & care into the fit out of the house and all amenities supplied. Right opposite the railway station allows the car to be left and sightsee using a great public transport system. Quiet an relaxing with a view of the bay through the trees. We done to those responsible and keep up the good work
