The Sewerby Grange

What a fantastic place to visit! With lovely gardens, a small zoo, activities for children, a cafe, and a wonderful house to explore, this place is owned by the Council and is a huge credit to them. The gardens are meticulously maintained and absolutely stunning, especially the impressive Monkey Puzzle trees which I was told are the largest in Europe. Additionally, there is a nursery within the garden where you can purchase plants at very reasonable prices grown by the gardeners themselves. While there is an entrance fee, it is well worth it for all the sights and activities available. I recommend bringing a picnic and spending the whole day here.

Coming in from Bridlington on the left as one enters Sewerby Village. Well set back from the main road with ample parking. Old very large house now a hotel. Not the best of receptions in that greeted by a staff member who just gave us the key, told us the room number and that was that. Room good with all amenities and views out to sea. Toilet and shower a bit of a squash, more room needed. Complete contrast to arrival in that breakfast was excellent. Staff very friendly, helpful and accommodating. I enjoyed the visit and would definitely come again.

From the time of arrival to leaving all the staff were brilliant including the owner who happens to be the chef !!!

I rarely put negative reviews on here but after writing to Sewerby Grange twice without a reply, I feel that this time I must air my views. I along with a party of ladies went to the bistro to celebrate my birthday in July. The staff were appalling, rude and offhand. Our table was 'that one there ', no one came to ask if we would like starters or drinks and we felt we were been rude when we asked at the bar for some service. The food was terrible, overcooked pasta and steak, food was served cold on hot plates. The lasagne was perhaps the worst I have ever had cold in the middle and floating in a cream cheese sauce YUK. If only they could have been bothered to reply to my letters and emails, might have given them another chance.

The park, zoo, and gardens managed by the East Riding Council are well-maintained. The Grange is definitely worth exploring, and the park and gardens are impressive with beautiful displays of flowers. At a discounted price of £9.50 per person when pre-booking online, it is also quite affordable.
