Hackness Grange Hotel
Queen Elizabeth granted the manor of Hackness to Lord Essex, after which it passed to Arthur Dakins Esq. whose only daughter Margaret took for her third husband, Sir Thomas Posthomous Hoby, from who it passed to Sir John Sydenham, who in turn sold it in 1796 to Sir Richard Vanden Bempde Johnstone, Bart….. His eldest son, Sir J Johnstone Bart, whose grandson is Lord Derwent, lived at the house before it was a hotel.
Surrounded by hills and broadleaved woodland Hackness Grange was formerly the Hall’s dower house built in the early 19th century. The Grange spent a brief spell as a country club, before becoming a hotel just after World War II. Since then, the hotel has gone through a number of changes but now is a stunning wedding venue with both indoor and outdoor ceremony options.
