I can't fault the hosts who were absolutely charming and as helpful as could be, and the whole place had an individual, stylish feel, being a beautiful period building, and decorated in an elegant, calm, neutral style (apart from the modern art on the walls which was a matter of personal opinion as to whether you would like it or... more

Just come back from a great weekend at The Grange. It is a great mix of traditional and modern. The breakfast is fantastic. The rooms are very comfortable and warm. I had a great view from my room. I felt I could be at home which was important as it poured with rain. There are good restaurants and friendly pubs... more

We have just spent a long weekend at The Grange and loved every minute of it despite the fact that it bucketed down with rain for half the visit. On the rainy days, we gave up sightseeing and settled down in the spacious lounge in front of a roaring fire and played Trivial Pursuits or curled up and did the... more

My partner and I have just returned from a short Isle of Wight break at The Grange. Just wanted to say how very friendly and clean the accommodation was. It is situated in peaceful, terraced grounds with beautiful views and a short walk to the promenade and sandy beach. It was great in November, it will be wonderful in the... more

I have stayed at The Grange on several occasions and have always enjoyed my stay. It is comfortable, unpretentious and a great place to relax and chill out. It almost feels that you are staying in a county house where you have free reign to go where you want .The spacious lounge is dominated by a magnificent fire place that... more

The Grange by the Sea looks very attractive as you drive in through the gates, a sprawling Georgian pile with landscaped gardens and an old-world charm. Unfortunately, this pleasant first impression soon fades away... The Grange is not a cheap option if you just want a couple of nights on the Isle of Wight. We paid £104 per night for... more

We have just returned after spending a weekend in the Isle of Wight. We stayed at The Grange Hotel in Shanklin. I feel it was over priced at £100 per night. We arrived and no one was at reception. When we finally found the reception person, he was not the most friendly person and made me feel unwelcome. The room... more

This place is great - a must stay! The owners and staff were great - really friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean - no hideous carpets and quite modern in looks. The honour bar is great, as are the guest lounges - we played Trivial Pursuit, enjoyed our drinks and this place really felt we were not just guests,... more

We stayed for four nights in The Grange. The reception reminded me of the many hostel's I stayed in whilst backpacking some years ago. Then I was shown the bar, honour system and shaby, hostel? The public areas could be very grand if they didn't have piles of books and things to do, like a hostel has for hard up... more
