Guests say

The Grange Lodge in Windermere receives high praise for its spaciousness, comfortable furnishings, and stunning views. Its tranquil yet convenient location is appreciated, as is the well-equipped kitchen and the beautiful garden. While most guests report a clean and well-maintained property, a few noted issues with cleanliness and maintenance.

Most guests found The Grange Lodge to be clean and comfortable. However, a few reviews mentioned cleanliness issues such as cobwebs, debris, and a lack of thorough cleaning prior to check-in, which slightly lowers the score.

The property's location is highly praised for its tranquility and proximity to local amenities, shops, and the lake. It is also noted for being within walking distance to Windermere village and offering easy access to the Lake District's attractions.

Guests consistently mention the comfortable beds, spacious rooms, and peaceful environment. The property provides a relaxing atmosphere, although a few guests suggested additional seating in the living room and mentioned soft mattresses, which may not suit everyone's preference.

The lodge is well-equipped with kitchen utensils, and guests appreciate the garden and barbecue facilities. However, some reviews cite issues with showers, outdated TVs, and heating control, indicating room for improvement in facilities and maintenance.

Guests are delighted by thoughtful touches such as welcome gifts, hand lotions, and a well-stocked kitchen. While these extras are warmly received, it is important to note that such amenities may vary and are not guaranteed for every stay.
