About Lainston House
63 acres of possibilties
There’s something about Lainston House that just makes you smile. Maybe it’s the beautiful heritage-bricked house that greets you atop the long avenue of lime trees, or the smoky aroma drifting from the Wellhouse kitchen.
Maybe it's the herbs, freshly picked from our kitchen garden or the glowing faces of the people who work here. We like to think it’s the feeling of possibility.
Our story
Adventurers to our core
Our earliest roots go back 1,000 years and it’s clearly in our DNA to evolve and develop with the times. We shudder at the thought of idleness.
Inspired by our storied past, we’re all about flipping the script on the traditional country house estate and letting visitors unleash their inner adventurer.
Our history
Centuries in the making
Built in the late 17th century on the foundations of a far older medieval dwelling, our magnificent house served many masters before taking its current form in 1981.
From the inimitable red-brick façade to the farthest edge of our sweeping grounds, Lainston House is entirely unique – something that must be experienced to be understood.
Our people
The cogs that turn the wheel
When a member of the team recognises a previous guest, or anticipates a need without being asked, that is what makes us, us.
Our people are attentive and hospitable, but never overbearing; the magic touch that brings everything else together. We serve with a smile and rigid formality is rejected at the door.
