Lainston House Hotel

Just two miles north-west of the ancient cathedral city of Winchester, Lainston House is a breathtakingly beautiful 17th Century William and Mary Country House nestling in 63 acres of stunning Hampshire countryside - there is no more romantic setting to celebrate a marriage. Delicate archways and loggias frame the picture perfect entrance and a small amble reveals a beautiful 12th century chapel ruin and pretty dovecote amongst formal lawns and flower beds. Intimate ceremonies, stunning wedding breakfasts, stylish receptions and lavish extravaganzas - everyone has unique ideas of what they want on their special day and Lainston House will ensure brides and grooms get everything their heart desires. From the moment preparations begin, the hotel takes the happy couple into its luxurious and capable hands to tailor everything to their every whim. For a wedding in the warmer months of the year, picture guests sipping bubbly and savouring delicious canapés on the rolling lawns and terraces to the mellow sounds of a string quartet. If it’s a winter wedding, guests can mingle in the perfectly appointed bars and lounges sipping warming mulled wine and enjoying the cosy opulence of the hotel. An ideal venue for small and large weddings, not forgetting the option of taking the entire house for private use.

For more information please contact our Wedding Co-ordinator, Abi Palmer.

      Gloious Day
      Just a little not to thank you for all of your help with Katie & Tom’s wedding at Lainston House Hotel last weekend. Everyone had a wonderful time and all the hotel staff were most attentive and very pleasant with all our guests. I would particularly like to thank Valerie and Larry and a special mention to Helen who could not have been more helpful – nothing was too much trouble. Guests commented on the very seamless service of the meal and we appreciated all of your input. We shall certainly return in the future and have wonderful memories of a glorious day

      Special Day
      I just wanted to say a huge thank you to you and all your members of staff for making Victoria and Tom's wedding day so special. I was most impressed with the way your hotel dealt with the day - the whole thing, from start to finish was superbly run and every minute detail was attended to. A number of the guests have commented on the service/the pleasantness of the staff/their attentiveness etc. so I thought I must mention it to you again. I have, and shall continue to recommend the hotel to friends and family. Thank you again, so much.

      Delightful weekend
      I just wanted to thank you and your team for making Frances and Gareth's wedding so memorable on Saturday. Everything went according to plan and timetable, the food was delicious, and everyone went out of their way to be helpful and to make things run smoothly. And Larry Lee, the toast master, was excellent as he guided us through the evening. The whole weekend was a delight and our friends were very happy in their rooms and in their stay at the hotel. So please pass on our thanks to everyone involved.

      The Perfect Wedding Day
      I wanted to say thank you for all your help in organizing what was a perfect wedding day for both Ellie and I. We had the most amazing day (even the sun shined). Lainston were excellent in their service, the food was out of this world (please pass on regards to the chef), and we had some great feedback from our guests about the hotel, with many saying they will be returning in the near future. Thanks again for your help, just can’t believe it’s all over, however we had such a great time I wouldn’t change a thing. Saturday 11th September 2010
