The Grange Hotel
About
Nestled just three miles from the historic market town of Bury St Edmunds, Heritage Grange at Thurston is a 19th‑century country house turned boutique hotel. The Tudor‑style building, built in 1895, features grand hallways, chimneypieces, and a beautifully restored 18‑room estate, each generously appointed with comfortable beddings and modern amenities. The hotel’s culinary offerings are an integral part of its charm. Breakfast is served daily in the spacious lounge, while lunch and dinner menus – featuring locally sourced produce and a gluten‑free, vegan, vegetarian, and dairy‑free range – are available from the garden room and lie‑back bar. Guests can enjoy afternoon tea or evening tea in the lounge, garden‑room, or the terrace, each presenting picturesque views of the plant beds and mature trees. The 2‑acres of landscaped gardens invite quiet strolls or relaxed al fresco dining. Heritage Grange is also a premier venue for weddings, conferences and function parties. With a magnificent banquet room that can seat up to 135 guests for a ceremony and 150 for a standing reception, as well as three multipurpose conference rooms, the hotel offers flexible spaces, dedicated staff support, and a range of catering options. A spa therapy room and free car‑parking add to the convenience for both leisure and business guests. With its blend of historic elegance, tranquil setting, and modern hospitality, Heritage Grange is an ideal destination for families, couples and business travellers looking for a memorable stay in rural England.
