Facilities and Capacity
Just two miles northwest of Winchester, Lainston House is a breathtakingly 17th Century country house that sits within 63 acres of vast Hampshire countryside. As you drive through the long, sweeping, tree-lined pathway, you are immediately transported to another time that is far away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Delicate archways and loggias frame the picture-perfect entrance, and a small amble reveals a beautiful 12th-century chapel ruin. With the mile-long avenue of lime trees as a backdrop, there are stunning photo opportunities all year round. For a wedding in the warmer months, you can picture guests sipping bubbly and savouring delicious canapés on the rolling lawns and terraces. Or, if it’s a winter wedding, guests can mingle in the perfectly appointed Drawing Room sipping mulled wine and enjoying the cosy opulence of the hotel. All of their rooms and suites are individually designed, so no two are the same.

The beautiful Dawley Barn provides an elegant and spacious setting, comfortably seating up to 120 of your friends and family for your daytime celebration, with room to welcome as many as 200 guests as the festivities continue into the evening. Its characterful features and natural charm create a truly memorable backdrop for your special day.

If you’re planning something smaller, our intimate spaces offer a warm and inviting atmosphere perfect for a more personal celebration. These cosy rooms are ideal for gatherings of 10 to 40 guests, allowing you to share meaningful moments with the people who matter most.
