Description of holiday cottage in Grange-over-Sands, Lake District / North West
Converted from a brewery, we have refurbished Summer Cottage to an impressive standard.
The spacious and beautifully appointed sitting room has a cosy log fire, and opens onto a massive balcony with table and chairs where we enjoy beautiful views, and where we often have morning coffee and even a meal at the end of the day!
There’s plenty of room for our rustic dining table which comfortably seats eight next to our gorgeous Welsh dresser.
In the private garden we have all of the garden furniture you need for entertaining, including a BBQ, and there is ample covered space for your bikes, boots and wet clothes to drip.
There is also a TV and DVD with many films, and free Wi-Fi connection and we have provided many board games and enough packs of cards for Racing Demon if the weather is too bad to go out.
Our delightful cottage kitchen has: dishwasher, washing machine, microwave, fridge, ceramic hob & oven, toaster, ironing board & iron.
We have three charming and comfortable bedrooms: one double, one twin and one with bunk beds; and for those extra guests we also have a really comfy double sofa-bed in the sitting room, and we can also accommodate little ones with cots.
Our brand new bathroom now includes a luxurious spa bath with shower, and we have added a beautiful shower room downstairs too.
There is a small shallow stream running along the end which our children love paddling in. If you look carefully, you can sometimes see the brown trout! Summer Cottage is set in secluded private grounds far from traffic, which makes it very safe for children.
