“ comfortable stay at The Grange by the sea”

We stayed at the Grange as it was close to friends we were visiting. We booked a twin room and were in no 2. Bed were comfortable.

We stayed at the Grange as it was close to friends we were visiting. We booked a twin room and were in no 2. Bed were comfortable. We were on the ground floor and had patio doors we could open onto a small terrace. The bathroom was adapted for disabled, but we were not disabled, a bit tierd and could do with a re vamp, the sink too small and low, so made it difficult to use for shaving. Apart from that all the staff were wonderful, especially Wendy who couldn't do enough for us. Breakfast was good and a very big choice. The Gardens amazing and lush looking very tropical.

“Best hotel we have stayed in, in a very long while.”

It's very difficult, no, impossible to fault this place. We love Shanklin, so it's location was ideal. The owners and staff were very friendly. The room was bright and airy, and the bed comfortable.

It's very difficult, no, impossible to fault this place. We love Shanklin, so it's location was ideal. The owners and staff were very friendly. The room was bright and airy, and the bed comfortable. Couldn't fault the breakfast. Cooked fresh every morning. And the garden and veranda were a highlight of the morning, with our first cup of tea (the good weather was a bonus). All in all, we had a very enjoyable stay.

“An excellent base for a holiday”

This big house is beautifully set out as a B&B, lovely dining room and lounges for guests, and a gorgeous secluded garden with trees all round, decorated with scuptures and swinging hammocks.

This big house is beautifully set out as a B&B, lovely dining room and lounges for guests, and a gorgeous secluded garden with trees all round, decorated with scuptures and swinging hammocks. Our room was in the attic up two flights of stairs (no lift), normal size with only one window so it was a bit short of natural light but otherwise fine. We had a large bed made up of 2 single beds put together. Firm matress (that was ok) but with not enough padding on top (our old bones ached). Also, the individual bed edges were hard almost rigid, so that meeting in the middle for a hug or more was impossible, we had to stay one side or the other within one of the singles. Good breakfast, no buffet, you have to specify what you want from the list but they are flexible. Staff are cheerful, very helpful, willing to go out of their way to assist. The house is very close to Shanklin's restaurant area, a 10 minute walk to bus stops, & 15 minutes to the shopping street, 15 minutes to the sea front - an ideal location. A really good base for an interesting holiday.
