Grange Bank Hotel
The same is true of Grange Bank House, located in picturesque Shanklin Old Village. Chris and Mike Spiller are the latest family members at the helm of this welcoming Victorian guest house, a tradition that dates back to 1972, and, like as not, you’ll find them in the sunny gardens, tending their drought-happy plants or adding to the compost heap that’s one of many environmental touches. “It’s all about doing the little things – they soon add up,” explains Chris Spiller, whose environmental policy is posted up on the hotel website for all to see.
A short stroll from Shanklin’s shops, restaurant and theatre, Grange Bank House is a quiet place, reserved for adults only. There’s a real sense of calm in its conservatory where books on local walks provide the inspiration to explore the Island on foot.
