1 / 15Nutwood Cottage
Grange over Sands, Cumbria
A former stable for four at Grange over Sands with a fully enclosed garden, an open fire and two dual aspect doubles, one dog welcome, walkable to the promenade and the bay.
One dog crosses the gravel, works the fence line at the bottom of the garden once, and gives up on the whole enquiry inside a minute. Nutwood Cottage began as a stable and is now a dog friendly cottage for four, its garden enclosed on every side, which at Grange over Sands, a town of ornamental gardens and a promenade above the bay, is the detail that decides a week.
Inside it still reads as the building it was. The hall opens into a dining room with a few original angles left, and the lounge is where everyone ends up: two sofas set round an open fire, patio doors to the garden, and a dog stretched between them with its back to the heat. Both bedrooms are dual aspect doubles. The bathroom takes a shower over the bath, and that is where the sand ends up.
Leave the car where it is and the week gets better. The town runs downhill to a promenade along the bay, the ornamental gardens take dogs, and the railway follows the shore north into the lakes when a day out is wanted. Cartmel and its priory are close enough for an afternoon. One dog, two of you, and a cottage small enough that nobody loses anybody in it.
Grange over Sands faces south over Morecambe Bay, where the tide crosses the sand at a speed worth watching from the sea wall and keeping a dog well up from. Behind the town Hampsfell climbs to a limestone top with the estuary laid out below, and Arnside Knott and the coves at Silverdale are a short run round the bay for a dog wanting woodland and sand in an afternoon.

Is Nutwood Cottage dog friendly?
Yes, Nutwood Cottage welcomes dogs. It's a cottage for four with a fully enclosed garden on every side, which makes it a particularly good fit for dog owners — one of those details, as the listing puts it, that decides a week.
Are dogs allowed at Nutwood Cottage year round?
The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions, but we'd recommend contacting the property directly to confirm availability and any dog-related terms before booking.
What should I know before visiting Nutwood Cottage with my dog?
The garden is fully enclosed, so dogs can be let out safely, and the cottage is walkable to the promenade and Grange over Sands' ornamental gardens, which also accept dogs. Morecambe Bay is close by, but the tide moves fast across the sands — worth keeping that in mind and staying up on the sea wall with your dog rather than venturing out. For walks, Hampsfell is on the doorstep, and Arnside Knott and the coves at Silverdale are a short drive round the bay.
