Dinner - as described above

Room very comfortable and well appinted, breakfast excellent, service second to none. Dinner in "The Avenue" fussy, over-presented and hugely expensive. Quality of food was good but would have been far more appreciated with less "design" and more food.

The Oak room needs DYI, and good cleaning, there were cobwebs in the ceiling in the Oak and the Pine room too, the housekeeping staff should look up more, this establishment claims to be 5*, so cleanliness is key and basic really. Otherwise, all good.

We were originally given the Oak room but for £400 a night we unsurprisingly had high expectations, which this room didn’t meet, the hotel needs to spend money replacing the bath tub there which in places was rusty, I didn’t fancy giving my toddler a bath there, plom. The staff at the reception acted quickly though and changed us to the Pine room, which was everything we had hoped for. We loved our stay after that. Thank you.

The architecture

Nothing. It was honestly a wonderful weekend escape.

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.

Very traditional hotel with lots of wonderful features. Very comfortable and cosy.

We were in Laurel room and we kept getting lost on our journey to and from the room. Basically, the signage is bad. Far more signs are required to Reception and to particular rooms. Also, I'm elderly with strength and balance problems. The shower room was well designed except that there are no handrails to hold on to and there is one minute soap container which can only hold one bottle. There should be at least two containers. Form must always be married to function!

The Bar and breakfast

No pool or spa. Expensive. Breakfast not included.

Country House in plenty of grounds. Warm. Clean and comfortable.

The staff here are magnificent, really accommodating and just generally polite. The surroundings are incredible and the house its self is picturesque. Highly recommend the Plough Inn down the road which had lovely food and settings. Then recommend the cocktail bar as well

Food was very good, but the cooked breakfast was tooo nouvelle cuisine and I went awa y hungry, poor value breakfast

Bathroom was amazing

We had a slight problem with our booking on arrival and were put in the wrong room but the staff were fantastic and sorted it out for us instantly.

We loved the location of the property, it’s in the beautiful countryside with a long drive up to the house which makes it feel very luxurious. Even the car park was pretty. We walked from the car park to the house to take it all in and the house looked spectacular (even in all of the rain), especially with the lights being around the trees. We stayed in the room Acacia and it was incredible, a massive room, with a large bed, 2 chairs, a flat screen TV and more. The best part was the bathroom which has a jacuzzi bath with lights & TV, a huge shower with multiple shower heads, 2 sinks and the gorgeous floor that reflects onto the ceiling creating the most wonderful atmosphere.

the walls were a little thin in our room but the building is very old

the bathroom was amazing

Stayed in December 2023

It would have been nice to have, breakfast included in the price we paid.

The Room itself was a lovely space and very warm. 4 Poster bed, the bathroom impressive. Breakfast was very nice. We ate in the Well House, happy with the service, they also showed us the Kitchen, and the staff explained the space and were very engaging. Impressed.

The staff at Lainston House were very professional and welcoming and of course made all the difference to our stay. Thanks to all the staff! We had a meal in the Wellhouse which was excellent.

Not a lot to dislike at this property

The property was full of old world charm - an exceptional place to stay - we ate at the formal dining room and had a wonderful dining experience. The staff (in particular the sommelier) were excellent and went above and beyond what should be expected of them.

Stayed in October 2023

There was nothing to fault.

Room was spacious, and the bed was comfortable. We had a superb dinner, prepared and presented to perfection and the following morning had an excellent breakfast. The staff were friendly and extremely efficient.

- The dinner quality relative to the value was a bit lacking, but the dining experience was still enjoyable and the cedar bar for post-dinner is a treat

+ English countryside luxury, from the rooms to the grounds to the staff, everything was first rate + Even more beautiful grounds and surroundings then online pictures suggest

Stayed in October 2023

Breakfast was over priced. Should be included in the room price.
