The Grange Hotel  

I stayed here for a wedding near by, and it was therefore perfect for my stay. Could definitely do with revamping the room I stayed in- looked a bit tired.

Very friendly staff who were accomodating.

Absolutely rubbish internet connection, having been informed prior to booking that wifi was available. This greatly impacted on work I needed to complete whilst stopping over.

Good location, lovely comfortable environment, excellent menu and a good hearty well prepared breakfast. Comfortable room with good sized bathroom.

Beautifully situated with lovely staff and great food, I really enjoyed my stay and would stay there again.

My starter took a while to come out though the staff kept me well informed and it was stunning when it arrived.

It was warm and friendly,staff very helpful breakfast very good and near to family.

Glorified travel lodge, very basic and expensive for what it was.

Helpfulness, friendliness and consideration. When it was noticed that one of us had difficulty negotiating the stairways (no lifts) we were immediately offered a first floor room as an alternative to our allocated second floor room. We accepted. .

The somewhat antiquated television facility - in line with lots of other good hotels. Even in central and southern Africa there was a limited satellite service. Perhaps guests would nick small flatscreens instead of fluffy towels if the facility were to be upgraded, or maybe sky is too expensive to install?

Good dinner and breakfast, very polite and efficient staff.

everything, staff very friendly, beautiful location, comfortable rooms and a most enjoyable breakfast. thankyou.

We liked the very helpful young man on reception when we checked in. He found info and phone number for the local hospital where we had to visit an elderly very poorly Uncle. He was very kind. Our room was very clean and comfortable, with plenty of tea, coffee etc available. Towels were white and soft as was the bedding. Breakfast menu offered a varied choice to suit most tastes. The location is quiet and peaceful but somewhat tucked away down a twisty lane, however signposting was good. The gardens are well-kept with lots of birds and wildlife to observe.

Some of the public areas seem a bit tired, and paintwork in need of upgrade around windows etc, however it is an old building which adds to its charm. Our room 10 was at the top of the house, up several flights of stairs (48) and then 5 awkward stairs down to the room. There did not seem to be much obvious fire instruction signage. It was annoying not to have a meal menu in the room as you had to go down to reception to find one. TV in the bedroom needs updating and was difficult to operate. The bed although very comfortable, was on a wooden base which stuck out at the sides making for a few banged legs !! Breakfast, full English was tasty but our request for baked beans instead of tomato was ignored. The scrambled eggs were strange and a funny colour. We felt a little awkward as we were the only guests in the room, and we had to ask for the butter from the fridge. By far the most annoying aspect were the flies, a very persistent one in the bedroom and another at breakfast. Name badges for staff would be a good idea.

Wifi wasn't working

The room and breakfast

Lack of staff. The arrival service was not great.

I booked here for two nights. At 3 am in the morning having not been able to leave my window open, hear the television or get any sleep because the room was situated over the bar and an external b b q I rang to inform the manager that I would not be staying a further night and would not pay for the accommodation. Why do these hotels allow business guests to book in when it is clear that the hotel is fully booked with wedding guests.Poor reception, waited 20 minuites for a weaiter to get the printer to work in order to book me in which happened on the first previous visit to hotel. Hotel tired and poor decoration. Hi Fi did not work
