unique & interesting architecture, lovely garden, easy walk to pub for a meal, close to bus stop to get to airport & an hour walk to town which was an experience😁

low door / ceiling heights

The setting and the welcome. Also the room was comfortable, clean and quiet.

The temperature control in the shower was stuck on hot and it took some force to release it. Limited cereals for breakfast and no choice of bread for toast.

location was perfect for going into town but such a beautiful quiet location to stay.

Noise of bathroom fan.

Nothing all great

Beautiful guest house in a peaceful location. Wonderful hosts. Delicious breakfast.

Beautiful surroundings. Most comfortable bed. Very clean. Lovely hosts

A bit further than I would have like as the taxi fare adds to the cost. And the shock of finding the cost of the room appearing twice on my bank account. The owner explained why that happened and has advised Aviivo to release the 2nd amount but so far nothing has happened

The Grange is situated in a quiet cul-de-sac and has excellent views across woods down to Shanklin Chine. The Grange is an interesting building with attractive gardens and a sunny terrace. The self-service bar is a good idea. The public rooms are well positioned and pleasant to use. Eating out: we would recommend Pendletons which is 200 metres away and for a curry, The House of Spice, a little further away.

For a bed & breakfast, it is very overpriced at just under £150 a night. We were happy to pay a bit extra with the expectation that the offer would be above the normal standard. This was not the case with The Grange. After the first night, we spoke to the manager to express our concerns about the quality of the room (see below). She was sympathetic and did offer to see if there was alternative accommodation in Shanklin. However, we were surprised by her reaction later on that day when she told us that unfortunately she was unable to find alternative accommodation. She said “well, it’s only one more night.” I agree it was just one more night, but it was a night in an inadequate room and with the expectation of a sleepless night in an uncomfortable bed. We would have accepting that we had to put up with the situation but not at £150! The Room The room (no. 2) is set out for disabled guests. It is very small set out as an L shape to accommodate the bathroom. One of the beds was constantly squeaky and the occupant had two sleepless nights as a consequence. There was only one chair. It was explained that as the room was designed to accommodate a wheelchair, there was only room for one chair. Consequently, we brought in a metal garden chair from the garden. As it happens the room is much too small to accommodate a wheelchair. As the bathroom is set out for a disabled guest, the sink is at wheelchair height and is tiny with an overlarge tap. The shower is not designed for a disabled person in any case as there is a step up to get into the cubicle and a slip mat was not provided. We mentioned these issues to the manager who told us that the owners were aware of the issues. After booking and prior to arrival, we were not told that we would be occupying a room designed for a disabled guest. We might have accepted the room but not on the basis of its very small size and the inadequate facilities. One previous reviewer mentioned that they had seen larger sinks on a plane.

Superbly cooked breakfast and very pleasant, clean facilities. Friendly welcome and comfortable bed.

Nothing

Very cosy place!! We would love to come back!! IWhen ever you are in this area, stay at the cottage guest house for one night, or two, or three ...

Cant't think of anything ...

beautiful old house. lovely owner

Breakfast was finished by 8:30am which I felt was a little too early

The bed was squeaky and made a noise on both sides when either of us turned over, it was comfy but disturbed us when trying to sleep.

Quiet location, close to a decent pub.
