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 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. 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.
