Affordable Short Breaks in Grange-over-Sands
If you are looking for a reasonably priced short break on the northern edge of Morecambe Bay, this holiday cottage will be perfect for you.
With views across the waters to Morecambe from the lounge window, a large secure garden, free wifi and parking, Lothlorien is your home from home.
We are pet-friendly and have easy access to the Lake District attractions. For example, Windermere is 8 miles and medieval Cartmel is only 2 miles away.
If you prefer to stay local, Grange Promenade is well worth an exhilarating stroll. Check out the railway station for its Victorian canopy and carved ironwork at one end and the Art Deco lido (now being revamped).
The ornamental Gardens with its duck pond and Park Road Gardens with its bandstand (look out for the Sunday afternoon concerts in summer).
Grange also boasts many independent shops, such as Higginsons Butchers, Fletchers Greengrocers and Johnston’s Gift Shop to name a few.
If tearooms with a bygone feel are your thing, try Hazelmere Cafe in Yewbarrow Terrace where you will be served prettily served sandwiches (made with homemade bread), pies and cakes that will delight any visitor to this Edwardian seaside town.
