Champagne was served 1st with a strawberry and chocolate mousse, we had a choice of teas, which were loose teas in a silver teapot, finger sandwiches were... More

Having had the most wonderful honeymoon we returned to a fabulous dinner but were put in a 'deluxe' room opposite a disco which made sleep impossible. Such a pity, as everything except sleep was faultless. More

Lainston House was the perfect venue choice for our daughters wedding on 4th May 2012. The surroundings are breathtakingly beautiful. The service was faultless from the minute we arrived to the minute we left. The staff were efficient but totally unintrusive. No detail had been overlooked and all of the guests were impressed with their rooms, the food, drink and... More

Excellent Meal at the pre-Conference Dinner - which took place in the Dawley Barn. The staff are really very obliging and it was a good and well equipped venue for a small conference which was in the Houghton Suite. More

My husband and I had a hugely enjoyable lunch in the Avenue Restaurant earlier this week - service faultless. The 'asparagus veloute' and 'braised lamb shoulder' of particular note. We walked up to the Walled Garden to see the new aviaries and admire the birds of prey. Met with a very warm welcome by the gardener and interested to note... More

The perfect venue for our daughter's wedding on 21 April 2012. The hotel was excellent in every way and the Dawley Barn was perfect for the main reception with character and charm. The organisation of the barn was flexible to our seating requirements. Professional, attentive, polite and friendly service by all staff. Delicious home grown or locally sourced food, perfectly...

Just leaving Lainston House where myself and my husband stayed one night to celebrate his birthday. This was our first stay and for regular travellers we are not easily impressed. We have been blown away by everything this hotel offers-location (very peaceful, nice even in the rain, and just over an hour from London), food (delicious!) and service (polite, attentive... More

Lunch in April: good points - lovely setting, good service, "any wine off the wine list by the glass" (not actually true as two requests were unavailable or not priced as advertised "at a quarter of the bottle price"). Great starter of accurately cooked scallops and very good saucing. Salmon starter too creamy and rather overpowered by horseradish. Mains: chicken... More

Dear twfry, Thank you for your Avenue restaurant review following your recent lunch experience. I was delighted to read that you enjoyed the location of the restaurant and the service as well as the scallop starter. Our wine list features over 300 fine wines, all available by the glass. It is unfortunate that your initial selections were out of stock... More

My wife and I spent a really very memorable evening at Lainston house. The staff were very welcoming and the ambience here is unrivalled. We started with aperitifs in the Cedar room, which was very relaxed and atmospheric, before moving into the Avenue Restaurant, which is a bijou oak-panelled dining room. The food was superb, under the auspices of Executive... More

I have never had such a wonderful afternoon tea experience. The venue was exactly what you would expect (a beautiful old country house, with stunning views) although a few problems finding the venue - google maps won't get you there! There were plenty of well made sandwiches, tea cakes, scones and beautiful cakes. Very tasty. Also endless refulls of tea... More
