Lainston House Hotel
Country House Hotel
Inspector's ChoiceA charming 17th century house standing elegantly in 63 acres of Hampshire parkland. Delicate archways and loggias frame the picture perfect entrance and a small amble reveals a beautiful 12th century chapel ruin and pretty dovecote amidst copious countryside.
With an abundance of atmosphere and character, your stay can take you on a memorable journey through the elegant lounges and drawing rooms, scented gardens where you can indulge in afternoon tea and wonderfully individual bedrooms with unique Hampshire views.
Perhaps you could take a seat in the Cedar Bar and recline in our leather chairs while we mix you an elegant cocktail or pour one of our many malts, armagnacs and cognacs - some of which date back to 1811. The choices will leave you in awe.
Lainston House Hotel now houses nine aviaries and guests and locals alike will be most welcome to take them for a walk, watch the birds of prey hunt or watch a demonstration. We can even arrange for their resident owl to swoop down with an engagement ring - the most romantic proposal! For guests dining with us for Sunday lunch or afternoon tea can enjoy a complimentary falconry display every Sunday.
Traditional guest rooms from £150 per night and deluxe guest rooms from £195 per night.
