Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire, England

We stayed at the Four Seasons Hampshire over New Year’s (arriving new year’s day) for four nights – our second visit – and it was just as magical as the first. The hotel strikes the perfect balance of luxury and family-friendly, which is so rare for a five-star property. From the moment we arrived, the team made our little one feel completely at home. We love the way they involve children in seasonal activities – the hunt around the grounds was a particular highlight. The kids’ buffet and dedicated menu are brilliant touches, and the fact that kids under a certain age eat for free is such a welcome bonus. The rooms are incredibly comfortable with a thoughtful layout that really works for families. The kids’ pool is a total game changer – warm, fun, and a great place to burn off energy whatever the weather. Our three-year-old is still asking when we’re going back so she can go to the kids’ club “on her own” (last time, we had to stay with her!). We’re already looking forward to returning in September to make that happen. Cocktails are excellent, service is faultless, and while I’d say this hotel is very much geared towards families – which we love – it may not be the best fit for couples looking for a quiet, grown-up escape. Overall, it’s a standout choice for families who don’t want to compromise on comfort, service, or experience. We’ll absolutely keep coming back.

Friendly staff. Alleyway in reception was very helpful in assisting us with a reservation for a spa day and ensured a very welcome and smooth check in. Treatments were very good and lunch was most enjoyable. A bit disappointed with the main pool area. Not very relaxing when you have young children jumping in and out of the pool and playing games, and the sauna and steam rooms are quite small!

We did not stay overnight but did use the spa and have dinner. Spa - amazing. Well run, super clean, great facilities and super staff - always smiling and welcoming. Huge thank you to Courtney and her great team. There is just such a nice and lovely ambience in the spa areas and every single team member goes above and beyond to make sure the guest is happy. Dinner - Lovely pizza and fresh authentic food always. Service always exceptional. Great choices. We love coming here always and especially drive from London every few weeks to just come for dinner. Everyone in the restaurant goes out of their way to make sure our dining experience is the best. Thank you always - hand on heart - the Mander family says thank you for hosting us and looking after us always. Forever grateful.

I stayed here for a relaxing leisure break with my wife. The food and service was of a high standard. The accommodation was very comfortable and spotlessly clean. The hotel boasts lovely grounds, which were great for walking along the nearby canal. I was impressed with the staff at the Spa and it was one of few spas where they do a decent deep tissue massage. (Many thanks to Yuni). Other staff members of note included: Rohith Mathew for his very professional table service and Rebecca Chan for her cheerful bar service. Yes, the stay was very expensive but we had a well earned break.

We had a lovely time just walking the property. There are tons of things to do-falconry, clay pigeon shooting, horseback riding, etc. We did none of them. The property is so beautiful we had fun just walking around taking it all in. The staff was nice, the facility ( recently refreshed) was lovely as well. Close to airports and London. We can't wait to return.
