Property Description
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, The Avenue Restaurant and Wellhouse Restaurant, a well equipped gym, 2 tennis courts, WiFi throughout the hotel and even its own ducks. The individually styled and designed bedrooms with attached bathroom 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. Afternoon tea is available, along with al fresco dining on the Terrace, while The Cedar Bar has an impressive cocktail list. Located near the historic Winchester, Southampton Docks and villages of Overton and Laverstoke, there’s plenty to see and do in the local area as well.

A magical hotel with wonderful dining experiences and a fantastic team who make you feel welcome and special. This was our 40th wedding anniversary and although the Lainston House comes with a 5 star price it provides value at every turn. On our first night we had the tasting menu in the Avenue Restaurant. It was sublime. On our second night we experienced the Wellhouse Restaurant and enjoyed the best Porterhouse Steak I’ve ever eaten. Breakfast each morning was excellent and served in a such a calm setting that it was almost therapeutic. The hotel also offers free to use good quality mountain bikes - which we used to cycle 15kms around the beautiful countryside surrounding Lainston House. They also offer the use of a Tandem Bike which we tried, but only around the hotel grounds!! Lainston House also has a gym and tennis courts although on this visit we ran out of time to try them out. A first class hotel operated by a wonderful team of people. And a particular shout out to Gerry from Guest Relations. She was brilliant and such a wonderful advert for the hotel and the group.

What a wonderful experience! I came for my Birthday with my husband and from start to finish felt pampered and spoilt! Thank you for an amazing weekend, the food, the room and the team were all first class, even the other residents were just so friendly and lovely, especially Paul and his wife who we met dining in The Avenue, celebrating a very special Anniversary! On leaving, we stopped at Stockbridge where there was a classic car event and more excellent dining! Thank you, we will definitely be back!

We had a wonderful time at the Lainston House. The hotel itself is beautiful but what sets it apart is the staff and the food! Both were absolutely exceptional. The Sunday roast in the Wellhouse is simply incredible as is the Avenue restaurant. Ask for the Vivanco Rioja you won’t be disappointed.

A fantastic weekend in a stunning country hotel. I knew it was going to be great from the moment we walked in. A friendly welcome and nothing was too much trouble. Incredible food from masterchef Tom, and brilliant service. Our room was well equipped, comfortable and clean.

Try the Wellhouse. Amazingly good food, all grown on site or from Hampshire. The chefs Big Tom and George as well as Josyan, our server, were friendly, interesting and really know their stuff. A wander in the kitchen to talk cooking as well as a look at the really deep well. Well worth a visit.

A truly wonderful, relaxing stay! Could not fault anything...Laniston House itself is beautiful yet homely. Gorgeous grounds, stunning room overlooking the Lime Tree Avenue. Bed and bed linen so comfortable. Lunch in The Cedar room excellent and equally was the breakfast! Welcoming happy staff...one of our most enjoyable weekend breaks! Will certainly return.
