Fantastic lodge & setting, only thing that let it down was the shower flooding! As we were only there for one night we didn’t want to make a thing of it & be disturbed by maintenance staff. So instead informed a staff member upon our checkout & we were slightly disappointed not to receive an apology & they were really quite blasé about it. Shame as it was nearly perfect!

Disappointing

Unfortunately, I was very disappointed by the cleanliness of the Garden Suite that we stayed in. Upon arrival, we noticed that there were cobwebs, spiders, black mould, dog hairs and marks on the duvet. We requested that our room was serviced the next day, however, we returned in the evening to find that it was the exact same and the staff had just replaced the water and soap. The grounds are lovely and the breakfast was great but I would recommend viewing this as a step up from glamping rather than a 4 star hotel if you are considering booking.

Nice restaurant

We were actually very disappointed. Firstly we hadn’t realised that Checkin was at 4.00 and checkout at 10.00am, which is contrary to the majority of hotels we stay in. This of course was our fault for not checking in more detail….. we waited for an hour and a half to be able to access our accommodation. The accommodation itself was ok, but the area appeared very neglected …..the grass in front of our cabin was overgrown and the roads had numerous potholes. The exterior of the cabin was very dirty, although the internal space was thankfully ok. The crisps in the mini bar were out of date, which added to our impression of neglect. The photograph on the website of the exterior of the accommodation we booked looked very different. When asking for help to book a taxi to the wedding we were attending, we were told to book any in the area….. most hotels would do this for you. Having given our negative comments, we would like to say that the restaurant food was very good and it was a pleasure to be served a breakfast option rather than serving ourselves at a buffet. We think the concept of the accommodation layout was good, it has definitely seen better days.

Great location and restaurant. Slight room issues

We stayed in the Classic room within the beautiful manor house, and overall had a pleasant experience. The on-site restaurant served a lovely dinner, and breakfast the next morning was delicious. Fresh, well-prepared, and a great start to the day. There were a few small issues in the room: a couple of light bulbs weren’t working (one in the room, one in the en-suite), the bed wasn't very comfy, the en-suite was very warm with no way to adjust the temperature, and we were only provided with half a toilet roll and no spares. These didn’t ruin the stay, but a bit more attention to detail would have made it even better.

One night stay was not enough.

Lovely location with character properties and great value with an excellent breakfast included. Only downside was the magnetic door lock which offered virtually no security.

I had an overnight stay and was very happy with it. The hotel and grounds are lovely. The room was clean and adequate but maybe a little ‘tired’ in some areas. We ate at the restaurant on site. It was clean and there was a good menu choice. I feel although the food was lovely, we had to send the starter back as it was not cooked properly. The staff were really apologetic and were really supportive in this matter. What I loved most about my stay was the staff! For a young team, doing all the checking in and waiting, they were simply fantastic! Friendly, polite and very professional! So recognition for them all is warranted. I would happily stay again, thank you!! 😊

Lovely Place

This is a lovely place to stay and the rooms are lovely. The hot tub was great as was the food in the Coach House. The only problem we had was the check in is at 4 (which is quite late) and our room was not ready until around 4.30. After we got in everything was perfect

A stay with a hint of grandeur

Beautiful peaceful setting with a luxury feel. The gardens at a sense of grandeur to the grounds. Plenty of onsite parking. Our room was in the main house. Comfortable king size bed with a very spacious elegant ensuite with large walk-in shower. The restaurant is based in the Coach House and serves an extensive breakfast menu, beautifully presented and totally delicious. Snacks and meals are available at lunchtimes and evenings but were a little expensive, as were the bar and bedroom mini bar tariffs. The Grange is a little remote so you will need your own transport. 20 minute drive to lovely town of Lynmouth.
