A hugely underwhelming experience, given the beautiful building and setting.
Pros:

Convenient location to the Hampshire cricket ground. Beautiful setting and garden.

Cons:

It’s not a spa as it advertises and hasn’t been for quite some time it seems. The Spa facility has been closed for refurb for more than a year apparently (potentially up to 3)! This is not made clear anywhere before you book.

Mérité un rafraîchissement total. Très décevant.
Pros:

Le bâtiment a du charme.
Le personnel du matin était agréable, contrairement à celui du soir.
Lit kingsize, dommage qu’on ne puisse pas en profiter .
Chambre spacieuse.

Cons:

Chaleur étouffante, pas de possibilité d’ouvrir la fenêtre. Bouilloire dégouttante, présence de cafards sur le tapis, robinets d’époque, pas possible de régler l’eau (chaleur et débit), chauffe-serviettes brûlant en permanence, produits de salle de bain ont tous déjà été utilisés précédemment. On y reviendra plus malgré la beauté du site.
Pas de SPA. Publicité mensongère.

Good hotel if you need to be in that specific area ... some reviews are now out of date
Pros:

I went in with my eyes open from reading prior reviews

Clearly they have spent time & money on the common areas like the bar & lounge

Bedrooms still need a bit more focus but were clean and functional. Bathrooms from the 1980's.

Bar stayed open for wedding party to well beyond 1am with no complaints

Cons:

Staff tried hard but I get impression high turnover so a bit chaotic at times
Left hand not knowing what right hand was doing

No pool & spa ... tbf they did tell us well before and has been out of action for a while

Cold taps in room 51 made a very loud noise when used unless you fully opened tap for jet stream

TV wonky in room 51 and couldn't get it to level + covered most of the wall light behind

Disappointing
Pros:

Rooms were spacious and plenty of car parking

Cons:

Breakfast overpriced! One mushroom only, one unexceptional sausage only. No toast arrived. Coffee not very nice.
Hotel presents jtself as grand ( paper doilies over and under glasses bear inscription " Grand Hotel Excelsior* but Bitley Grange was not at all grand except in its own view of itself. The whole place needs a thorough refurbishment.
We were NOT told when I booked that neother was spa nor swimming pool closed...I only found out much later and on checking out waa told they are closed till December!. Why do thecy adveetise on booking.com that they have those facilities when they are out of order???
