Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire, England

I rarely write reviews on here, but the Four Seasons Hampshire truly deserves the praise. Tucked away in the English countryside, the hotel manages to strike that elusive balance: honoring the natural beauty of its surroundings while maintaining a relaxed yet refined atmosphere that feels both international and unmistakably local. Aside from the decadently appointed rooms and gorgeous grounds, what makes this hotel exceptional is the service all around. Somehow, the hotel is able to keep a traditional English feel: polite, kind, and sophisticated, while bringing in a fun international feeling with staff members sourced from all over the world. This is a challenge for a lot of chains that the FS has executed perfectly at this hotel. It's the small classic FS aspects that shine brightly here, retaining the small information that most chains would overlook, remembering room numbers, and engaging in small talk. I could continue to rant and rave about this property, but I wanted to provide an example of how the FS was able to de-escalate a delicate situation. A non-hotel guest had come to attend a wedding and ended up not being able to go home due to certain reasons. The staff managed to handle this situation with the utmost professionalism, while still being able to cater to the hotel's guests and taking care of the man who had attended the wedding. I have always lived by the saying at a hotel (or airline): what makes a chain great is when they want you to be there as much as you want to be there, and the FS ticks the box here. Out of all the Four Seasons I've stayed at, this must rank in the top three in terms of service across the world. Thank you for a lovely stay, and I look forward to returning.

The staff really make this hotel. They are so professional and accommodating. The rooms are fabulous. The beds and linen extremely comfortable. It’s a vast hotel but the attention to detail is superb. We were worried it might be a little tired - but absolutely not. The rooms are like new. Great bathrooms too. My father needed an Accessible room and it was perfect. Special mention to the staff - Joshua in the bar and Gul (I’m sorry I did not take her full name. The Turkish member of staff who served Afternoon Tea). Overall a fantastic experience for my elderly parents and their four grown-up children!

We stayed at Four Seasons Hampshire in April 2025 to celebrate my birthday, and it was unforgettable. Having visited for over 20 years, I can confirm it’s still exceptional. As a family of four with young kids (7 and 6), booking one room can be tricky. The website doesn’t show it, but a quick call confirmed that the Garden Mews Room—their most affordable—can accommodate families, thanks to a sofa bed. That flexibility made the trip possible for us. Dining at Wild Carrot was a highlight; we ate there three nights in a row. The oysters and steaks rivalled top London spots—pricey, but worth every penny. The kids’ menu (pizza, hot dogs, pasta) kept our daughters smiling, and my birthday dinner felt genuinely special. Breakfast was excellent: fresh pastries, fruit, and made-to-order eggs, paired with great coffee. The grounds are magical—on our first walk, we saw the estate’s bison, which thrilled the kids. They loved the Kids for All Seasons club, while my wife and I enjoyed a fun 45-minute clay pigeon shooting session. The girls are still talking about their pony hack on Blue and Scooby Doo, and Sharkie’s Reef indoor pool was a hit—Isabelle conquered the big red slide! The main indoor pool, set under a beautiful glass roof, was a serene retreat. A quick sauna afterwards was the perfect way to recharge. And the service? Seamless, warm, and intuitive—luxury without fuss. This was a joyful, memory-filled family escape. For a luxury stay with heart, Four Seasons Hampshire is unmatched. Book it—you won’t regret it.

We went for 4 nights during mid term break with our 5 year old son. It is by far his favorite hotel and the best hotel we have stayed with for children in England. He loved kids club, pony grooming, the enormous breakfast buffet and the swimming pool. The swimming pool with a water park separated from the adult area is terrific. Staff were great for kids and he loved going after stamps in his passport. The private fire works display was amazing. The only room for improvement would be dinner in the wild carrot and picking up towels in swim area. My pasta and my sons pizza were great in the evening but my husbands lamb portion was tiny and the carrots the size of his thumb nail. It was very much a case of big food on a small plate which was disappointing for him as he loves lamb. A cut of lamb would be more appropriate. Guests abandon wet towels in the kids swimming area which is a pain as it leaves no seats for parents watching. Picking them up more regularly or leaving a big bin for lazy parents would help with a sign that says do not abandon towels please think of other guests. We will be back for sure.

I am a firm believer that love and respect should begin with the people around you, so after watching the superb team work and communication between all staff members, it comes as no surprise to me that the quality of service and attention to detail, towards guests, is second to none. There are not many places that we've visited that feel like home. The appetizing food, cosy room, and immaculate grounds is 10/10. Most pet friendly hotels are mediocre at best when it comes to the cleanliness of the room and bedding they provide. At the Four Seasons, the room was clean, spacious, and luxurious. Thank you for allowing us to create wonderful memories here at the Four Seasons, Hampshire.
