As well as being a comfortable, very clean, dog friendly and conveniently located hotel, Grange Bank House is a lovely place where the hosts, with their kindness and sense of humour, will make you feel right at home as soon as you arrive. In addition, the breakfast is served in a lovely room and is of a very high, or shall I say very delicious, standard. The bar in the communal lounge is a great place to socialise with other guests. My wife and I are really looking forward to visiting again as soon as we can.

This is a wonderful place to stay. Everything was spotlessly clean, wonderful welcome, extremely helpful hosts, great breakfast, comfortable room. The hosts were very helpful in organising my ferry over and even making a late change for me. Just perfect!

Once again we have had the most wonderful time staying at Grange Bank House. It really is 5++ Star service, food and accommodation. Warren and Peter are absolutely fantastic hosts. It's a home from home and we always get a lovely welcome. A particularly special welcome this time too from their new little helper Maggie who is totally adorable. The guest house has a calm atmosphere and is just the relaxing break we needed.

Always spotlessly clean and tidy and your every need is catered to. The breakfast is always outstanding and sets you up nicely for the day. There are an abundance of places nearby to eat and drink the during the day and in the evenings. It's a great base for visiting all the attractions the island has to offer and we wouldn't stay anywhere else. We highly recommend staying at this guest house and will be returning again soon.
