Our second stay at Lainston and the first time with our baby daughter. I was a bit nervous about having a baby there in case she screamed and kept all the other guests awake but it wasn't a problem at all.

I got an internet rate of £170 room only which was good value; they put us in a vast, beautiful room, well away from any other guests it would seem! On arrival there was already a travel cot made up for our daughter with fresh sheets and a teddy, and a box of baby goodies like wipes, bath gel etc, which was very thoughtful.

We had a wonderful dinner, a great night sleep and the best cooked breakfast I've had in years. Our daughter was made very welcome at breakfast dispite her messy antics.

All in all another memorable trip to Lainston.

Beautiful hotel in a great setting, wonderful restaurant with scrumptious food, good service, delightful clean room with view ,although like most period properties the floors were far from flat (or that may have been the alcohol consumption!).. Impressive quaint place.

My best man booked me and my wife into Lainston House last year on our wedding day.
It was completely last minute as he'd mucked up our reservation for another hotel, but somehow he managed to totally redeem himself by getting us in here!
We got married at Sparsholt college which was excellent - but Lainston was ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!

I dont know the name of our room but it must of been one of the best there.
Huge room, timber beams everywhere, great views from every window, decor just fantastic (in an old rustic England sort of way), huge four poster bed, huge bathroom, chocolates, champagne, roses, breakfast in bed, stunning grounds, croquet on the lawn and excellent staff - really professional and friendly.

This is the best hotel i've ever stayed in: heaps of character, cant reccommend it enough.

Yet again a wonderful stay. We had Sycamore, a beautiful suite full of charm and character with a stunning four poster and acres of space accompanied by an oversized bathroom with walk in shower, enormous bath etc.

Our meal in the restaurant was probably the best ever (we are fortunate to eat here three or four times a year). The restaurant and bar staff are always very attentive and we are made to feel very welcomed.

If we had one tiny niggle it would be that the hotel in general is always way too warm. The huge open fire in reception is wonderful but the rooms and public areas could do to be a few degrees cooler (not easy to fit air-con in an established building I know). This aside, Lainston remains our favourite place to eat locally and we can't wait for our next visit!
