Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire, England

Guys, I know I share a lot about my travels 🤭 but Four Seasons Hampshire truly blew me away. From the moment we arrived, the entire experience unfolded like a masterclass in understated luxury and heartfelt hospitality. We were warmly welcomed by Wasiq, whose kindness instantly set the tone. Then came a lovely personal greeting from Mehdi, the wonderful Guest Relations Manager, who went above and beyond to make us feel special including a surprise upgrade to a beautiful Manor Room, complete with chocolate-covered strawberries from Emily. A perfect start that already said everything about the spirit of this hotel. The property itself is breathtaking surrounded by the rolling fields of Dogmersfield Park, where you could have Peaceful walks along the grounds, the sound of horses in the distance, and that fresh countryside air that makes you slow down and exhale. The spa deserves a standing ovation — it’s not just a facility, it’s an experience. And Peter at reception was always so nice to us! My personal musts: – Afternoon Tea — a masterpiece served in the most elegant tea room. Every detail was exquisite, from the fine china to the flavor combinations. Trevor and Gulumser, thank you for making it such a warm and memorable experience. – Dinner at Wild Carrot — where Chef Talha Barkin’s cauliflower steak was simply perfection. Elegant, creative, and full of flavor. – And, of course, the cocktails — AJ and David, you’re legends. 🍸 Perfectly balanced, beautifully presented, and delivered with that unmistakable Four Seasons charm. A massive thanks again to Mehdi for the exceptional attention and care throughout our stay. You truly have a wonderful team, and it shows in every interaction. Hampshire is now officially in my Top 3 Four Seasons properties worldwide — and for good reason. The balance between countryside serenity and refined luxury here is unmatched. I left feeling recharged, inspired, and already counting the days until my return. Visit my @book_the_room profile for more hotels Inspo!

Wow, what an experience! For the first time we stayed outside of London and were happy to enjoy this luxury Four Seasons property! This was our 15th stay in a FS the last 6 years and property number 13 we could get to know. Location 10/10 Fantastic, the minutes before you arrive by car you feel that something special will follow for the next days! When you see the FS in the Horizont, placed in a marvelous landscape you already get excited what will happen the next days. The property is so huge and so beautiful, with several ponds, a small river where you can rent the properties own small boat, Cows and horses in walking distance through a beautiful landscape, perfect if you just want to relax and enjoy nature! With just 50 minutes from Heathrow a perfect weekend escape even if you are not living close! Rooms 10/10 Thanks to Little Emperors, a luxury travelling agency and our personal travel advisor Estefania Lagunas from Little Emperors (Estefania.myler@littleemperors.com) and the nice team of FS we got upgraded to an incredible Manor Room in the main building! Huge ceilings, fresh renovated with huge windows facing the inner garden, a stand alone nice bathtub and the incredible FS bed makes you not wanting to leave the room! Perfect British luxury and still a touch of Greg renovation and new colors are a perfect combination to enjoy your room! Activities 10/10 Some weeks ago when we booked we were not sure if we should better go again to London (after two fantastic experiences at FS Tower Bridge), but we were reached better! The age Hampshire has so many activities that you could spend easily 5 nights here without getting bored! We did archery (either Tom, a great instructor and fun person) and loved it! We could have done horse riding and claypideon shooting but unfortunately run out of time…. Fortunately we had time do the amazing teatime! The SPA is huge, with a separate area for children and fix timings where children can use also the main Pool, which we liked, The activities offers here are really unique and lots of fun! Restaurants and Food 9/10 We loved the Wild Carrot! Very good food and additionally to the main menu they offered during our stay a special Indian menu with 4 additional dishes and a fresh seafood menu! They have a great wine selection and huge and tasty cocktail selection as well! Very dish we ordered was tasty! Service just perfect with great recommendations! The bar, right close to the restaurant is incredible! Great bartenders that are experts in their jobs! We love des spending times there and trying their unique cocktails! Breakfast is huge! We had a la cart and buffet breakfast inclusive due to little emperors, and loved it! A great buffet and huge a la cart menu and…. Free white and rose champagne every morning, real four seasons luxury style! Why only 9 stars? We felt, especially for dinner, there could be a separated area for families with children and we would have missed a second restaurant ((a friend told us the Italian restaurant that opens there depending on the season) if we would have stayed 2-3 more nights. Service 1000000/10 The difference of every luxury hotel and property ate the people! And FS Hampshire in between the other 12 properties we visited from FS (as long with properties of One and Only, Mandarin Oriental, St. Regis, etc) is just doing perfect! I want to name several people who made our stay unbelievable! Thanks to all of you, we will see you spoke in Hampshire! Wasiq: we were lucky to make check in with him, such a warm and nice welcome! Upon arrival we felt like being back home in family (even though it was our first stay here) Mehdi: the guest relations manager presented himself shortly afterwards, a fantastic person! Managers like him make the difference! We met him several times around (mainly when we were drinking or eating 😅), alsways taking care about his guests. Great personality who makes you feel welcome during your compete stay!!! Hope to see him soon in Hampshire! Swanand: our waited for the first dinner at Wild Carrot, great menu recommendations hat thanks for recommending the 20th year anniversary port wine! Kadek: our waiter during our second dinner at Wild carrot, super attentive service and nice recommendations (Indian menu). AJ and David from the bar: great combo! Nice people, we enjoyed talking to AJ and David is a pure mixology master! Great recommendations and cocktails! Weil Liew (hopefully written correctly): the heart and soul of the breakfast! Such a lovely personality, taking care of everyone, brining us special dishes, you need people like him to make your guests feel welcome and at home! Last but but least, Gulumser and Travor from the Teatime! A very unique and supplementary combination! It was fun and lovely having had two hours of teatime experience with you! Summary: everything is exceptional! The property, installations, SPA, food and especially the people who make this property something special worldwide! Just own recommendation: don’t make the same mistake and book just 2 nights… I would recommend at least 4 nights here!

Style over substance and for an exhorbitant rate! As someone who stays in hotels around the world two or three nights every week... I had a very poor experience here. The issue are many but here are a few: On check in I was not offered the room I requested, even though the hotel was not busy. The room I was assigned was inward looking without a view. Even basic things such as extra water were charged for at a way above market rate. All options offered from the mini-bar or the inhouse bar felt like an exploitative attempt to make extra margin., eg., a can of Guinness was £12. My bill on checkout included a service charge (tip) of £12.50 per night. When charging £500 per room per night, Four Seasons should be paying it's staff very well anyway and tips should be discretionary. I had a room service meal delivered, of a plate of cold cheese and ham (which was very poor quality and I didn't eat?) and a bottle of wine which I didn't order, didn't like and didn't drink and for which I was charged £75. I explained this on check out and said that in no uncertain terms was I to be charged for this... Four Seasons charged my credit card regardless.

We recently returned from a 3 night stay at FS Hampshire for my birthday celebration. They offered us a 2 room upgrade at check in. I wasn't paying attention to the layout of our room and I should have requested a different room - this is my fault but wow, such a disappointment. Our room had a dormer and looked nothing like the room category listed online. It was a horribly odd shaped room. They absolutely should not sell this room as it's more like a storage area. The hotel was at very low occupancy during our stay. The right thing to do would have been to offer us a suite. They did offer us a suite for more than $500 more per night but I was unwilling to pay this. Our total for our stay was $4900 (this includes two massages and also their hawk experience). Absolutely unwarranted rate for this room. We are frequent FS customers and spend thousands of dollars each year at their properties. FS is usually my go to brand when we travel (I have two more stays booked this year). This experience is lackluster. They don't pay attention to their loyal customers. I suspect if we owned a residence or maybe flew on their jets or did a boat cruise they might pay attention to us but maybe not. We came from London and at the hotel there, everyone knew our name - not the case at FS Hampshire. Service was also impeccable. My husband was quite ill during our stay and they moved us to a suite at no charge since we needed more room. On the positive side, food at Wild Carrot is quite good. Our massages were great (they do need to put wash cloths and hairbrushes in the spa). We also did a hawk walk which was fantastic. The grounds are beautiful. There are many other great choices to stay in this part of the world. Next time we'll choose somewhere else. Probably a manager will respond to this review with some platitudes. It's not enough considering our experience.

Four Seasons Hotel I stayed at hotel last night room 1104 to celebrate my wife’s 60th Birthday and our 40th wedding anniversary beautiful room We normally stay at Limewood, Chewton Glenn or Newt as they are similar high end hotels and selected Four Seasons to try something new. We were looking for a high end fine dining experience with professional kitchen and professional sommelier and waiting staff but this was not our experience We arrived at hotel and checked into a beautiful room upgraded with great reception. We went to The Wild Carrot for lunch unfortunately this was a massive dissatisfaction and disappointing experience I spoke to front of house requesting a quiet table away from children. Table by window was next to large family group taking selfies by our table we waited patiently for them to finally stop and sit down. I ordered Chablis white wine and especially requested from waiter I wanted wine well chilled before serving. I ordered ceasar salad and my wife ordered prawn cocktail which was very basic and forgettable , however anchovies to go on a Caesar salad were extra which is a stable part of this salad ? The Wine was served at room temperature so asked them to leave it in ice bucket despite asking for it to be chilled before serving. Two other families arrived with kids screeching quite loudly excited as also there friends turned up making things louder. A guy kept walking up and down past our table on a business call talking very loudly about a business transaction I had no idea why he would just not go outside. There was no appearance of any restaurant manager suggesting to diners this is a high end dining experience. Main course we ordered Rigatoni which had no flavour we did not eat it, and Mushrooms on toast with beef. On menu Mushroom dish had no detail that Truffle was in dish, unfortunately the taste of this makes me feel unwell. I took a mouthful and tasted truffle I asked waiter for menu and upon reading it I asked waiter if Truffle was in dish he said he did not know and would ask chef. He came back to confirm it was in dish. A nice lady came up to me and apologised and offered me something else. The taste of truffle had made me feel queasy so I declined it was still very loud in restaurant so we took wine and sat outside On reflection staff at restaurant had no knowledge of wine or food they were serving. The food served was basic at best and to serve a dish with Truffle in dish without it on the menu is a big mistake from the chef. Truffle is a very powerful taste and for me overwhelming and unpleasant so needs to be described on any dish. We had a reservation at La Terressa I walked down to see large volumes of children very loud in this restaurant so it was not for us. The menu was mainly Pizza and this is not fine dining it was like a Pizza Express inside restaurant We were going to go to local restaurant but as I drank wine could not drive so finally ended up we with room service. This was not experience I had visioned for our special celebration. My wife and I did not experience any fine dining very disappointing. Fully understand it is summer holidays and families go on holiday. The Four Seasons Restaurant is very large very easy to create an adult space in this area. More concerning is our lunch food offer was far from a fine dining experience it was terrible. Service very nice but lacking any knowledge of food or beverage experience in fine dining. We requested a table away from children and was put in the hub of children’s birthday parties and excitable children having fun which is not a fine dining experience. Breakfast in room ordered streaky bacon got back bacon no attention to detail
