“One of a kind and full of character: old fashioned, genteel Victorian hotel. Ornate rooms with heavily draped beds and antique style furniture. Beautifully manicured gardens. Blissful indoor pool, hot tub and extensive spa. Fabulous restaurant. Wonderfully romantic.”

Hotel Review

A wonderfully old-fashioned and genteel hotel, in a wonderfully old-fashioned and genteel resort, the privately owned Grange Hotel was built in 1866 in elegant Victorian Italianate style. The warmth of welcome is as heartening as the view is lovely: on a wooded hillside looking over the little town with its quirky shops and tea rooms, bandstand and mile-long promenade. Rooms are swagged, draped and tassled and soothingly decorated. There's also an indoor pool, hot tub and beauty salon.

Grange Hotel

"Inside it's opulently decorated in rococo style, with giant gilded urns of flowers on plinths in the public areas and carved putti lurking cheerfully round every corner."
