The Legacy Botleigh Grange

The Legacy Botleigh Grange Hotel is a lovely four star Country House ideally situated between Southampton and Portsmouth, and provides an excellent base location for exploring the stunning South Coast including the New Forest, the historic dockyard of Portsmouth and West Quay in Southampton (the largest shopping complex in the South). The Lakeside Spa makes it perfect for a weekend getaway.
Exterior: The Hotel was built as a private Country House during the 17th century and it was in this period, that Oliver Cromwell came to stay. Like some Historical English Houses, Botleigh Grange is not without its haunted chamber and other interesting period features include the oak panelled walls and a magnificent ornamental ceiling which can be seen in the Cocktail Lounge.
Lobby: The lobby is located within the Mansion House and is small and welcoming.

All of the very high-standard rooms have en suite bathrooms with a shower/bath and hairdryer. They are fully equipped, including direct dial telephones and colour TV with Sky channels. Each room comes with a double bed, radio, Internet access, tea and coffee making facilities and central heating. Many of the rooms have a separate seating area for business people who need extra desk space (subject to availability). Availability of suitable rooms is limited and may require the use of portable beds.

The beautiful Dining Room - with its glass domed ceiling with views overlooking the gardens - was added to the Hotel in 1992 and has been described as the most attractive in Hampshire. Well known for its delicious menu, the Restaurant boasts an AA Rosette accolade. The chefs of The Legacy Botleigh Grange continue to transform the very best of local produce into dishes of excellence. The Cocktail Lounge is perfect for pre-dinner drinks.

The heated indoor pool and spa bath provide a superb view of the lakes and gardens, stunning in all types of weather. Adjoining the pool are the aromatherapy sauna and the steam room, both with mood lighting and monsoon showers. A contemporary, air-conditioned gym is also available with the latest Technogym equipment, including 5 pieces of cardiovascular equipment plus free weights (subject to availability and fees may apply).
