During the early years of the nineteenth century, The Earl of Zetand spared no expense when it came to doing up the properties on his local estates. Grange Manor – his agent's house – was one such residence, and you still see signs of its original splendour in the scrupulously preserved elaborate cornices and exquisite wooden staircases.
These days, Grange Manor is a country house hotel, ideally placed as a base-camp for anyone who has their sights set on sights on the second-century Antonine Wall, moody Blackness Castle or Linlithgow Palace (birthplace of Mary Queen of Scots).
The hotel's smart restaurant, Le Chardon ('the thistle') makes a comfortable, spacious setting in which to enjoy Anglo-French dishes in the shape of a gâteau of haggis neeps and tatties, roast rack of lamb on spicy couscous with sweet chilli sauce, and baked Amaretto pudding.
For a more informal dining experience their popular Wallace's Bar and Restaurant is open seven days a week for lunch and dinner.
