Lainston House, An Exclusive Hotel, Houghton Suite
Sparsholt, Winchester, SO21 2LT -
Up to
50 guests
Just two miles north-west of Winchester, Lainston House is a breathtakingly beautiful 17th Century country house nestling in 63 acres of stunning Hampshire countryside. As you turn into the long, sweeping, tree-lined drive, you are immediately transported to a world far away from the hustle and bustle of every day 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.
Fully licensed to conduct civil ceremonies and partnerships, you can exchange your vows as well as have your wedding reception with us – and with the Hampshire Chef of the Year at your disposal, you can be sure to enjoy exquisite cuisine.
For a wedding in the warmer months, 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 or Dawley Barn sipping mulled wine and enjoying the cosy opulence of the hotel.
All of our rooms and suites are individually designed so no two are the same – and if you are excited by the idea of your very own country house, Lainston House can be reserved on an “Exclusive Use” basis.
The Houghton Suite is located on the ground floor, with plenty of natural light... the perfect setting for brainstorming sessions, video conferencing, training seminars, product launches and boardroom meetings.
It can accommodate up to 25 for a boardroom meeting, 50 theatre style and dining for 40.

Kim
February 2025We loved our weekend break at Lainston house. Special thanks to the team (especially Gerri - I think that’s how to spell her name). She was wonderful and made us feel so welcome! We had dinner at the wellhouse and Avenue on different nights - the food was delicious on both occasions! Our room was spacious and comfortable; main downside is that it was in the furthest top corner of the hotel which made things tricky with a small baby. Next time, I’ll request a room that’s closer to reception. Overall, we had a great stay and would definitely love to visit again.
