Lainston House, An Exclusive Hotel, Dawley Barn
Sparsholt, Winchester, SO21 2LT -
Up to
166 standing
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.
Our largest meeting space, the original 17th century Dawley Barn has been elegantly converted into a unique private room.

Attended a wedding of ~100 here. What a stunning building! It was perfectly equipped to host weddings, with a large hall/renovated 'barn' with wood beams, tasteful lighting, and large opening barn doors and seating outside. Plenty of stylish WCs (with hand lotion!). A separate georgous sitting room where we moved for coffee/cake cutting whilst the barn was transformed for the evening dance area and the band set up. There was a bar at the end of the barn hall. I thought the waiters/waitresses were notably fantastic - extremely friendly, helpful and professional. The food was phenomenal, particularly the lamb - I can't believe they can make such high quantities to such a high standard/perfectly cooked each time. Theres a large circular car park about 200m from the entrance of the building which was perfectly manageable in heels. You must check out the 'Inception' view out from the right hand side of the building. Can't comment on the price or hotel rooms. I think you really can't go wrong if you choose to have your wedding here! Certainly our bride and groom were extremely happy.
