Had a great stay in this typically Victorian atmospheric Hotel Everything you would expect in terms of older genteel opulence from a bygone era. Lovely features all over the place. Very spacious rooms, and corridors lobby bar etc etc Obviously a few flaws in terms of modern facilities such as air conditioning and leisure facilities and staffing in some areas plus visible management who would actually integrate with guests and ask for their views on service for improvement. eg.

Why is the service for Dinner so slow and the menu limited? The general staff work very hard and are really approachable and friendly and want to please. Great location opposite the Station at Grange. I would recommend if you can find a deal Thanks Grange Hotel for a great stay

Stayed here for a couple of nights for my daughters wedding. The hotel helped organise it all and it was absolutely amazing. The staff and the food was top notch. Will definitely be coming back here to stay again.

Nice hotel. Sauna and steam room not working, asked reception to fix, they said we will send somebody straight away and nobody ever came. They have an ironing room in hotel but when I went in no iron or ironing board. Bar staff friendly. Nice pint. Grounds are nice. Breakfast was tasty. I would visit again

Group of us went for a day of using the spa facilities and lunch. The package was great value for money. I do feel the spa could do with a little money putting into it as the changing rooms were a bit dingy and the toilet door doesn't close. It also appeared that the steam room wasn't working. Staff were all so lovely as was lunch. Would definitely visit again

Absolutely loved our one night stay here last week. Great hotel, very comfortable and laid back. Staff were very friendly and efficient. Slight issue with the bed when we checked in so we were immediately moved to another room. Nice little town on the doorstep. All in all, really nice little stay

Lovely hotel and a relaxing stay. The staff are very warm and welcoming. We dined here and it was an amazing experience, especially the waitress as she was very friendly and fun. The food was very nice and indulgent.
