Grange Hotel

On the southern fringe of the Lake District in Grange-over-Sands, this 4-star hotel sits right by the lake with panoramic bay views. It’s a short drive from Lake Windermere and minutes from Cartmel Racecourse and Yewbarrow House Gardens — a perfect base for exploring the Lakes.

Fifty-five rooms mix classic comfort with coastal charm — flat-screen TVs, coffee/tea makers, and private bathrooms with shower/tub combos. A number of rooms are dog-friendly, and daily housekeeping keeps things tidy. Expect sweeping bay vistas from parts of the hotel.

Unwind at a full-service spa offering massages, body treatments and facials, or take a dip in the indoor pool and sweat it out in the sauna. There’s a banquet hall and event facilities on site, free self-parking, and complimentary wireless internet throughout. Wake up to bay views and crisp lakeside air.

A business center supports meetings and events, with 24-hour front desk service and luggage storage. Free onsite parking and property-wide Wi‑Fi keep work simple and efficient.

Carriages serves British cuisine in a laid-back restaurant and bar/lounge. Room service is available during limited hours, and full breakfasts can be added for a fee — hearty fuel before a day in the Lakes.
