The Battleborough Grange Hotel

We stayed in the accessible room. The room was OK, very tired and smelt of damp. The temperature cannot be controlled, radiator was either hot or off. Bathroom very tired and needs renovation. Bathroom was very spacious. Staff very friendly and helpful. Would not stay again.

Well what can one say regarding The Grange Hotel which was the venue for my late wife Jane celebration of her life. We chose this venue when we first visited on walking in we felt straight away a warm welcoming feeling and as soon as we saw the Peacock statue we knew this had to be place as our surname being Peacock. Mike and his staff especially Kelly made this occasion so perfect I could not of asked for more they put there heart and soul into what we asked for which was a pink theme as my late wife loved pink. We had over estimated how many would turn up, but those that did all commented on what a lovely location and venue and what they had done to make this a celebration of life that one will not forget. They felt like they were part of our family they were so attentive in making sure everything went to plan and it certainly did. Once again Mike Kelly and all the staff that was there on Thursday 2nd March thank you for making our day of celebrating Jane’s Life so special and one to remember. So if your looking to celebrate a special occasion then look no further than The Grange you will not be disappointed let’s make sure we keep these lovely hotels going so they can provide the service that your looking for.

Yes its tired is some parts but I see that as character when compared to modern hotels. The biggest point for us was that dogs allowed in the restaurant. If you know this beforehand then no problem. We didn’t and had breakfast to barking dogs. We really really dislike dogs (it’s a hygiene thing) but booked very last minute. Our problem for not asking. Great staff and breakfasts. Don’t pay a lot, except the dogs and you will be happy. I am a little concerned by the number of 5/5 reviews.... PROS Very close to the M5 and A38. Very clean place with great management. Good value CONS Dogs Very close to the M5 and A38. Both can be seen and heard. Gardens very neglected Only a double bed.

I booked to stay here two nights and unfortunately I didn't take any pictures to show because I didn't think I would be this spiteful to leave negative comments but by far the worst hotel we stayed. If you have small children please do not stay here. I raised a complaint on my first night that my kids room door has no lock and anyone could walk in, also the cupboard door literally fell off. Since I paid for two nights (which was also a rip off through ********* I paid 2 times the amount) I had no choice. But soon as I found out I rang ********* and they were very helpful in sorting things out and I wanted ro move to another place so I requested a refund for the night unused due to very good reasons. My kids were too scared to sleep there and I was anxious too. The manager initially agreed ro the refund and I decided to leave next morning. However the manager wasn't around when I went to checkout and the receptionist was very rude when I asked for my refund. Later I received a message saying they declined my request and called me a liar for the door complaint. Please people I swear if I had a video or a photo I would have taken it further. Just do not stay here. Its not worth the money and worst you get called a liar!!! Well you all cheated us so it's on you!!! It's totally unsafe for kids with families and to leave your belongings in a such place. Horrible!!!!!! I lost my money and I really regret my stay.

Normally stay at the Lympsham Premier Inn whenever in the area, but they had decided to massively hike their prices for the Jubilee Bank holiday weekend. So we thought we'd give The Grange a try. Positives. Picturesque setting, the 2 ladies on reception/restaurant duty were pleasant and helpful enough, and the food, although not spectacular, was perfectly OK and reasonably priced. The not so positives. I appreciate that for £55 a night you can't expect high end luxury. But the place is in serious need of refurbishment and redecoration. Walls scuffed and grubby/peeling, carpets have seen better days. Our room, which could politely be described as compact, had a quarter inch wide crack running along the entire length of the ceiling and one wall, with a view that was half neglected back garden, half dumping/storage facility. And using the shower/toilet may, unless you are a competent gymnast, be a challenge. Finally, the walls are tracing paper thin. Which means you can hear everything, and I do mean everything in near enough every room on your floor. Including things that most people I imagine would rather not hear given the choice. Although some would probably pay good money to. I'm all for privately run hospitality businesses trying to compete against the big corporate chains. But after this experience, we'll stick to the Premier Inn down the road in future.

Friendly Hotel The lovely lady’s at this hotel made our stay / they were happy, friendly and nothing was too much trouble. They love dogs here too Left my watch behind they called me and very kindly posted it back to me. Venue is in gorgeous setting. We ate in hotel which was tasty and had drinks. They played superb background music, some other guests sang along. Great night ! Be back soon xx

The Grange is a lovely hotel, well located for the beach and beautiful local countryside. The managers were both incredibly friendly and helpful (and had a gorgeous dog who our dog loved meeting and playing with) and it was perfectly set up for a dog friendly hotel. We didn’t eat there but the hotel restaurant looked lovely too. There’s a lovely bit of land out at the front for walking your dog before bed- if they’re not too tired from the beach! The room was clean and the bed was very comfortable, and the dog bed and bowl was a lovely touch. It was very reasonably priced. We will definitely return and would recommend!

The hotel is tired. Our double room overlooked the rear of the hotel. It was small along with the bathroom. No bin in the bathroom. The corridor was noisy with no sound proofing. I could here alarms going off in other rooms from 5.30am. Not relaxing at all. Someone thought it a good idea to have a fire outside our room in the early evening and the view was poor. See photos. You pay room only and breakfast/meals are extra. Tbf the cooked breakfast and tea for about £8 was ok. No cereals or alternative breakfasts. I would say avoid this place.

Very comfortable hotel with nice room with bath. All was clean and it met our needs very well.In addition when we booked directly with hotel the person we dealt with was very accommodating. Food was ok, not gourmet but certainly ok. Bar lacked draught beer but bottled beer was available-a minor issue in the scheme of things. Staff were friendly. All in all a good place to stay if i. the area or even to break a long journey from further west. Would use again.
