The famous travel writer Bill
Bryson declared Grange-over-Sands one of his top six UK
holiday destinations and undoubtedly the best way to enjoy a
stay at this gracious Victorian resort with its mile-long
promenade is to book into the magnificent Grange Hotel.
Built in classical Italianate style in 1866, the Grange has
long been established as one of the Lake District's premier
hotels. It occupies a superb position with panoramic views,
has 50 well-appointed bedrooms, stylish décor throughout,
enjoys a glowing reputation for its outstanding cuisine, and
is noted for its warm hospitality.
Owners Hugh and Jenny Rushton
pride themselves on the hotel's cuisine. Only the very best of
fresh, local produce is used with freshly-baked breads just
part of the bountiful hot and cold breakfast buffet. But the
highlight of the day will surely be a sumptuous candlelit
five-course table d'hôte dinner served in the elegant
Carriages Restaurant where the wine list features the finest
produce from vineyards around the globe. If you prefer
something lighter, the Lounge Bar Menu has something for
everyone _ from delicious home-made soups to vegetarian
tortilla wraps. There are also menu options for children and
for those with special dietary requirements.
The
accommodation at the Grange maintains the elevated standards
evident throughout the hotel. Each of the 50 en suite bedrooms
is provided with satellite TV, direct dial telephone,
hairdryer and hospitality tray. And if you want to feel really
pampered, you can upgrade to one of the superior or executive
rooms.
Other amenities at the Grange
include the cosy lounge bar, the terrace with its breathtaking
views, and the impressive Health & Leisure Suite. Open
every day from 7am to 10pm, the suite boasts a spacious heated
pool equipped with optional jets; a roomy 12-person Jacuzzi; a
sauna and steam room; fast-tan solarium and a well-equipped
gym. Fully qualified beauty therapists are on hand to provide
a wide range of popular health and beauty treatments. These
include aromatherapy, waxing, deluxe manicures and pedicures,
as well as an extensive range of face and body treatments
tailored to your particular requirements.
And when you're ready to explore
this lovely part of south Cumbria, the options are numerous:
Levens Hall with its unique topiary garden and historic house
is close by; Holker Hall with its famous car museum; the
Beatrix Potter Experience in Ambleside and the amazing South
Lakes Animal Park are all within easy reach.
