Grange Hotel
Grange-over-Sands, Cumbria

Built in 1866 in classical Italianate style, the Grange Hotel sits in its own beautifully-landscaped grounds. We enjoy panoramic Bay views in the unspoiled Edwardian town of Grange-over-Sands, described by noted travel writer Bill Bryson as one of his 6 favourite places to visit in the UK. Fully-refurbished throughout and with full leisure facilities as well as a reputation for fine cuisine and a warm Lakeland welcome, the Grange offers a first-class base from which to explore the Lake District.

The charming Edwardian resort of Grange-over-Sands is set between the Lake District fells and Morecambe Bay, and offers one of the mildest climates in the North. The advent of the Furness Railway transformed the small fishing village of Grange-over-Sands into the fashionable Victorian/Edwardian resort, with wealthy merchants building grand houses, which now accommodate top quality hotels. A traffic-free promenade, ornamental gardens, a duck pond, golf courses, brass band concerts and vantage points for bird watching are just some of the many attractions on offer. In Grange-over-Sands you will find a wide range of quality shops. On Main Street you will find anything from men's and ladies' outfitters, newsagents and ironmongers to chemists, bakeries and jewellers. Elsewhere there are small supermarkets, greengrocers, gifts shops and a delicatessan.
