Lainston House
Sparsholt, Winchester, SO21 2LT, United Kingdom – Excellent location - show map
The staff in this hotel are amazing. Alex from The Wellhouse restaurant went above and beyond in his customer service, from especially helping to source a cheese platter even though it wasn't on the menu to brilliantly handling the whole room of customers when the lights went out due to a short power failure. The food was exceptional and the service was outstanding. I really couldn't recommend this experience highly enough.

This elegant 17th-century country house hotel in Winchester stands in 63 acres of beautiful Hampshire parkland. As you sweep into the courtyard, delicate archways and loggias frame the picture perfect entrance and a small amble reveals a beautiful 12th century chapel ruin. Lainston House features 50 elegant bedrooms, an award-winning 3 AA Rossette restaurant, a well equipped gym, 2 tennis courts, WiFi throughout the hotel and even its own ducks. The individually styled and designed en suite bedrooms at Lainston House are full of character, some rooms featuring an elegant four-poster bed or roll-top bath. All are fully equipped with spa toiletries, tea/coffee facilities and amazing extras like the pillow menu. The award-winning 3 AA Rosette Avenue Restaurant serves a modern British menu of local, seasonal produce, with fresh herbs and vegetables from the kitchen garden.
