I have just returned from Lainston House Hotel near Winchester. This is a quintessential country house hotel. I stayed here with my mother for a birthday weekend treat. From the minute you step through the door the staff make you feel special but without being over familar. We stayed in Silverthorn room and it is fabulously decorated wth a huge... More

We chose this hotel for my daughter's wedding celebration for several reasons: A stunning beautiful setting, a country house hotel with a really nice atmosphere, and a genuine interest from the hotel's management in making the event work well. The hotel's Dawley Barn function room is ideal and all other acommodation is first class, albeit a shade on the expensive... More

Having visited in November 2010 and had a wonderful Champagne Afternoon Tea i decided to treat my daughter for her birthday in January 2012. I was extremely disappointed on several counts. Firstly due to a wedding ceremony taking place, it would seem all staff were making this a priority and we were taken to our table and left unattended for... More

We won a trip here and I was very much looking forward to it but unfortunately we did not have a very good experience here. I would never write a bad review for the sake of it as I always look for the positive but they made our Saturday evening such a disaster and I thought having given my online... More

My partner and I stayed here for a family wedding and both felt that Lainston house was the perfect venue. Our room, Wisteria, was phenomenal with a four poster bed and huge bathroom with double sinks, a spa bath, shower with rain bars and a heated floor. There were lots of other nice little touches that went the extra mile... More

We have had lunch In the restaurant about 6 times, and a memorable afternoon tea involving champagne, as memory serves! The setting is marvellous, with a view down a 3/4 mile avenue of trees. The building is stylish, inside and out. Service is excellent, cuisine is of a high standard, and value good. A place we look forward to for... More

This is a very expensive hotel,about 3 miles from the city centre.I suppose it depends on what you want from a stay in Winchester but for me it`s too far,well beyond walking distance and for much of the journey along unlit country roads.Driving or a taxi is the only choice but that means finding parking in the city(not always easy)...

We stayed here for a romantic night away from the children and had a beautiful room overlooking the lawns, an outstanding meal, and the staff couldn't have been more helpful. The food was delicious (we had the tasting menu), the cocktail bar was buzzing, breakfast was filling and the new birds of prey in the kitchen garden are stunning after... More

We visited for a cocktail and may have stayed for dinner too. For a hotel of his level, supposedly exclusive, it was anything but. The car park is a long way from the building with a poorly lit route. On entering the hotel it felt more like going into an Oxfam shop than an upmarket hotel. The reception area is... More

Dear MWLANDSVB, Thank you for your review following your recent visit to Lainston House. I am sorry to read that your experience was not one that you could have been more positive about. The car park is a short walk from the main hotel but we do offer a valet parking service and we would have been only too happy... More
