The Grange by the Sea, Isle of Wight

A place to unwind, learn and reconnect

Tucked away in the heart of Shanklin’s old village, The Grange is a welcoming place for creative weekends, personal development courses and restorative short breaks by the sea.

Close to the beach and surrounded by gardens, it offers the calm you need to step back from everyday demands and give yourself time to reconnect.

Our weekends bring together inspiring facilitators, good food, friendly company and space to explore something new. You might come for writing, yoga, creativity, mindfulness, music or personal growth – but whatever the theme, the atmosphere is relaxed, informal and supportive.

The Grange has always been known for its warmth and hospitality. Many guests arrive on their own and soon find themselves chatting over breakfast, sharing stories in workshops or walking down to the sea with others. It is a place where you can be yourself, whether you come for learning, rest, reflection or simple escape.

If you need a quiet weekend away, a creative spark or a change of pace, The Grange offers fresh coastal air, supportive company and courses that lift the spirit.

Come as you are. Leave refreshed, connected and a little lighter.
