The Grange Boutique Guest House

Hi all, Recently stayed at the Grange Court as we were attending a wedding at Rockbeare Manor we arrived mid afternoon , the drive has a few pot holes but ok, plenty of parking directly outside the hotel there is a car park next to the hotel sadly in need of a bit of attention due to rubbish and overgrown shrubs and open Oil storage tanks, rang the bell was met by Steve we believe is the owner/proprietor very welcoming and efficient in his description of how the hotel runs , we informed him we were attending a wedding and he let us know he can take us to Rockbeare Manor for a donation to the staff tip box which was a big help sadly he does not do returns but assisted in suggesting local taxi firms, we got a local and he charged £15 for our return in the evening from the wedding. Can I say think your missing a trick Steve not offering the returns think you could have a lot of takers and your staff tip box would fill quickly, some of the other guests at the wedding staying with you could not get taxis ?? On to the hotel and room, the hotel is a traditional style you get the feel your in someone’s house not a bad approach if you used to that sort of hotel but sadly we’re from London where sadly you don’t often find that approach anymore not knocking this but if your used to the more corporate type hotel which are a little more clinical was a bit of a shock. Our room No 8 initial reaction dated in need of an upgrade bed was a little creaky but bedding clean and fresh and towels were excellent, the furniture was sadly very dated, a lot of room dust all around the bedside cabinets and sorry to say floor needed a good hoover, the bathroom was clean and tidy , but again sorry to say the floor needs urgent attention the tiles were old and discoloured which give the impression they are very dirty , there are plus’s the view from the room is fabulous and the tea tray was very good . We had breakfast both days and had a very good freshly cooked full English you pre order but you get what you order, and there’s plenty of tea,coffee juices and pastries Steve provide a great service was cheerful and made you feel welcome without being intrusive which was great after a wedding ,,,,,,,!! Steve we had a comfortable stay but have to say your hotel is looking in need of some TLC and upgrading of your rooms the hotel does not look like the websites and marketing material which is sad as there is a gold mine in those beautiful surroundings. Hope are comments are taken in the right way.

This is a very old type of hotel. it is family run and reminds me of faulty towers, when coming to service. There are no delivery companys for food and the hotel has no restaurant, so if you are hungry bring food or drive 10 minutes to a restaurant.

Absoloutly lovely place to stay and very clean. The breakfast was very well cooked and the staff very friendly. The surroundings and look of the building was very well kept. The only issue i have is i forgot to ask for the bottle of wine advertised with my room. But just means i will have to book again.

A lovely old building with lots of original features. Plenty of parking. An excellent location to attend a wedding at nearby Rockbeare Manor. Our room had been freshly painted but leaving the window open slightly got rid of the smell. Breakfast was lovely.

Home from home. Great place, lovely atmosphere. Breakfast was amazing and views are to die for. Little difficult to find off the main road but worth it. Lovely little residents bar and loads of nice walks in the area

The staff were very friendly. An excellent breakfast and a very comfortable bed

We had a lovely stay in this beautiful family run hotel. The owners bent over backwards to accommodate us even driving us to our restaurant when we were unable to book a taxi.

We had a one night stay here as it was conveniently located for a restaurant we were meeting a group of friends nearby. The hotel is away from the main road and set in beautiful grounds. The staff were very helpful and our room was lovely and spacious overlooking the front garden. We had no complaints but probably agree with a previous review the place could use a deep clean, especially the carpets

Hotel staff very friendly and the location of the hotel was ideal for what we needed with fantastic grounds. However the hotel could do we a deep clean, the beds and shower in the room were clean but the carpets and ornaments in the room were not. While sitting outside myself and other members of my family saw a mouse run across the sitting room (from couch to couch) we informed staff at reception and they assured us they would look into this, but we still saw them a night later, my mum witnessed it run in to the breakfast room. Breakfast wasn’t the best either, the continental had good choice however the cooked breakfast was not cooked well so not worth £12. There was also a not so pleasant smell of foist through out the hotel. For this reason I wouldn’t stay here again
