We enjoy panoramic Bay views in the unspoiled Edwardian town of Grange-over-Sands, described by noted travel writer Bill Bryson as one of his 6 favourite places to visit in the UK. Fully-refurbished throughout and with full leisure facilities as well as a reputation for fine cuisine and a warm Lakeland welcome, the Grange offers a first-class base from which to explore the Lake District.
