History

It is thought that Grange Lodge Hotel was built as a private house, in about 1815, using the profits made from privateering. It stayed in the same hands until purchased by the Mansell family in the 1930's. From this time it was run as a hotel apart from a five year break during the German Occupation (1940-45). During that period the hotel was used as the headquarters for the German Feld Kommandant.

Over the years many additions and alterations have been made including the building of self-catering flats and the installation of an outdoor swimming pool.

Despite these changes, the hotel has retained most of its original features and character.
