Guests say
8 Lowther Gardens is a spacious and comfortable cottage in the heart of Grange-over-Sands, praised for its excellent central location close to shops, restaurants, and scenic walks. Guests consistently highlight the warmth, ample space, and well-equipped kitchen, making it a great base for exploring the Lake District. While some furnishings and maintenance aspects could benefit from attention, and a few amenities were occasionally missing, most visitors enjoyed a relaxing and pleasant stay. The property’s charm, value for money, and convenience make it a popular choice for returning guests.
Most guests found the property clean and comfortable, with positive remarks about bedding and general tidiness. However, several reviews noted areas needing improvement, such as food debris in the kitchen, chipped glasses, and maintenance issues like a loose carpet and blocked shower. Cleanliness is generally good but could be more consistent.
The location is universally praised, with guests loving the proximity to shops, restaurants, the promenade, and public transport. The central setting is ideal for exploring both Grange-over-Sands and the wider Lake District, making it a standout feature of the property.
Guests frequently mention the spaciousness, comfortable beds, and relaxing atmosphere. Some noted issues with older lounge furniture and a previously uncomfortable sofa (since replaced), but overall comfort remains a strong point, with many guests returning for repeat stays.
The property is generally well-equipped, with a good kitchen and reliable Wi-Fi. However, several guests reported missing or insufficient kitchen items, maintenance issues (e.g., leaking radiator, broken toilet holder), and a need for more basic supplies. Facilities are adequate but would benefit from regular updates and replenishment.
Some guests appreciated the provision of basics, but others noted a lack of welcome items such as milk, sugar, or cleaning products. While thoughtful touches are occasionally mentioned, they are not consistent or guaranteed.

Grange is a pretty resort with an Edwardian flavour and a relaxed atmosphere. It is on the shores of Morecambe Bay, and has great views across the sands of the Bay. The estuary and the countryside around Grange are fascinating places for nature enthusiasts. A tremendous range of birds can be seen, and there are several nature reserves and sites of special scientific interest. Grange has some of the finest parks and gardens on the Cumbrian coast – the ornamental gardens has a lake with many water birds or if you prefer enjoy a walk along the promenade which hosts regular art exhibitions. Grange is the ideal base to explore the Southern Lakes area which offers plenty of variety in terms of attractions, from the stately Holker Hall and Gardens, to Cartmel Racecourse or mountain biking and Go Ape at Grizedale Forest.

Lowther Gardens is an ideal, central location for getting around Grange, with many shops, restaurants and cafes within only a few minutes walking distance. Grange is also a perfect location for exploring further afield, such as Morecambe Bay and the Lakes. There’s also a railway station within 10/15 minutes walk, so you can actually get around without using the car at all if you wanted to. This flat is well equipped and spacious and we found it certainly had everything that we needed. As other reviews have mentioned, the furnishings/fittings are a bit dated, but this didn’t bother us one bit, as we found it very clean and comfortable, including the beds. There was an issue with the washing machine door catch, that was not working, but this was reported and a repair is now apparently underway. However, the WiFi and other appliances here work well. We enjoyed our stay so much at this property and at Grange generally, that we have rebooked it again for next May! Goes without saying that we’d definitely recommend it!
