Park-up in one of two off-road parking spaces, before unloading your bags and making your way into your new home-from-home.
Be welcomed into the sitting room, where you can look forward to snuggling up with your loved ones on the sofa and select the evening’s entertainment, whether that’s your favourite film on the Smart TV with soundbar or battling it out on the Xbox.
When it’s time for dinner, make your way through to the kitchen/diner, where you can look forward to whipping up flavourful meals with the help of the electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, along with a handy dishwasher ensuring a fuss-free clean-up!

Climb the stairs to the first floor where you can wash away the day with a refreshing shower, before catching your rest in one of two well-appointed bedrooms, a king-size and a twin. Awake from a leisurely slumber and savour a steaming cup of coffee out in the small courtyard which also has storage available.
Explore your local surroundings, where you will find the welcoming Commodore Inn nearby, serving tasty pub meals and local ales, all with fantastic views of Morecambe Bay, a perfect setting for when you and your guests fancy a night off from the kitchen.
Continuing through the town, you will find an excellent selection of restaurants, cafes, and well-stocked convenience stores where you can pick-up any last-minute essentials.

From here you can easily access historic Lancaster with its 12th-century castle, imposing cathedral, and maritime museum.
Your holiday will not be complete without a visit to Windermere, where you can take advantage of the fantastic watersports available on the famous lake, soak up the amazing views from Queen Adelaide’s Hill and Orrest Head, or explore the delights of The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction and the Windermere Jetty Museum.

Set between the Lake District fells and Morecambe Bay, Grange-over-Sands is a lovely Edwardian seaside resort with one of the mildest climates in northern England.

( Train Station & buses across the road) The property is lovely & very well equipped. We had a lovely time & can recommend. Only down side - there is no private sitting out area.

The cottage in a fantastic position opposite the train/bus station. It has everything you need to have an enjoyable stay in Grange over Sands. Just a few steps and your on the promenade which has fantastic views over Morecambe Bay. As a keen walker thereâs plenty to choose from in Grange or Arnside where is just a short train ride away. Will definitely be returning to the Stables in the future.

Good location for easy access to promenade shops and nice eating out places. Off road parking a big plus point. An additional small table alongside second settee in lounge for placing a drink or book would have been helpful but a minor point really. All in all a nice clean accommodation for a comfortable stay. Had a great week and thank you for welcome bottle. Would certainly visit again..
