I truly wonderful hotel with magnificent grounds to sit and relax in with a drink from the Cedar bar or to explore on foot or bikes. We had a lovely walk up the mile long Avenue of Lime Trees and a ride on a tandem provided by the hotel. Great fun.The food in The Avenue restaurant was exquisite and served... More

Lainston House is one of those buildings that if it had been poorly managed, poorly designed or poorly refurbished could have been a gigantic money pit for the owners. But done right, as it has been, it’s a haven of peace, tranquility, great service and staff and brilliantly maintained buildings. Full marks all round for the management and staff here.... More

We loved this place from the first moment we arrived!! It is beautiful from the outside as well as inside. Our room “Juniper” was specious yet cosy. It was wonderfully peaceful and it was a joy to wake up to the sound of birds singing. A lovely little treat was the luxury bar of chocolate waiting for us in the... More

We attended a special tea to celebrate some friends' golden wedding. The weather was quite good but outdoor heaters were provided over the tea tables. We had been cordially welcomed upon arrival at the country-house entrance and all the staff were very friendly and helpful during our three hours there.

I read some of the other reviews before writing this and the negative ones are very interesting. If this hotel has a challenge it is that its a destination hotel and being a wedding venue with accommodation means someone is going to be disappointed. We weren't here for a wedding and everything that others complained about went smoothly for us.... More

My husband and I recently stayed at Lainston for the third time in our lives and it did not disappoint us! The staff, food and surroundings needs to be experienced to be believed. It is worth every penny and we can't wait to visit again later in the year. We had a room on the first floor with an adjoining... More

My husband and I have just returned from a two night stay at this beautiful hotel. It's in a wonderful setting on top of a hill with amazing views. Sophie, on reception, booked us in and she was most helpful and charming - a great asset to the hotel. The young man who took us to our room was also... More
