Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire

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!

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.

Excellent service very attentive staff. Owl walk, fly fishing and horse riding all fantastic experiences. Simon and his birds are one of a kind. Keagan gave us an amazing lesson. Wild carrot was lovely as well. The room was spotless clean. We will be back

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.
