Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire

Just stunning. We went for drinks and dinner, keen to experience some five star service after some bang average meals out recently and the four seasons wild carrot did not disappoint. From the moment we arrived the staff could not do enough for us, and all their guests. One of the bar staff even poured a completely fresh glass of champagne for my partner rather than top up the last third from a different bottle. Food was amazing. Steak melted in my mouth (and I have it well done!) Such a gorgeous experience and gave us exactly what we were after. Its not cheap, but its miles ahead of other “fine dining” restaurants in the area that I’ve been to recently

Loved our stay here, despite a few minor inconveniences we actually enjoyed it a lot and would stay again. Staff are personable, friendly and make you feel more than just a guest. Everything is exceptionally clean and well-run. Nothing is too much trouble for them to do and they will do anything to make sure you are enjoying your stay. The food, whilst expensive, is pretty good. I would recommend the buffet breakfast rather than a la carte if you like full English style breakfasts as we found it was warmer when we got it ourselves strangely enough. On one occasion part of a breakfast order was forgotten and therefore significantly later than the rest, staff knew this and apologised and rectified it as quickly as they could but the breakfast wasn’t hot to begin with so it was a bit of a disappointment considering it was £40 for the privilege. The buffet was replenished as soon as anything was taken from it and it was of excellent quality. The orange juice is freshly squeezed which is such a rarity in establishments these days. Rooms were beautiful and super clean, storage plentiful and I loved the added touches for our two young children (madeleines and juice on arrival, children’s robes and slippers). The sofa bed was just perfect for them, low to the ground and no mechanical arms at the sides to hurt themselves on. My husband and I personally found the duvet very heavy and I had to call down for firmer pillows but it wasn’t an issue, the bed itself was super comfortable. The shower was powerful although the head couldn’t be adjusted and our only issue was that our sink plug was faulty and permanently in the closed position so drainage was slow. We didn’t highlight this to them during our stay to be fair as we didn’t want maintenance staff in our room, but I would have thought a cleaner would have noticed and mentioned it to management at least? I used the spa for a massage and facial, the massage was excellent but the facial was sublime and well worth the money (I had a therapist called Muna and would only have her again if she was there, she was excellent). I didn’t get to use the adult pool unfortunately but the children’s pool/splash pad was excellent and my two daughters absolutely loved it. The hotel has valet parking and we never had an issue with it, it’s really well run, I personally do not like valet parking and so think I’d prefer to have the option to not use it if possible?

Had an incredible time at the Four Seasons in Hampshire! The service was outstanding—a huge thanks to Kes for looking after us so well and to Chef Mokhtar for going above and beyond to make my birthday truly special. Thank you FS for making my 40th Birthday so memorable!

A true paradise for children! • So thoughtfully designed, with every detail catered to families. • The splash park is amazing. • Brilliant food options. • The kids’ passports are such a lovely touch. • The room details on arrival are incredible. • The grounds are stunning, and the kids’ club is fantastic. It’s such a magical place for a family getaway, even if just for one night. My only wish? One more restaurant. But aside from that, I absolutely love my trips here!

We were excited to stay at this family friendly hotel and spend some time in the English countryside. Upon arrival, we found the whole reception area odd - it was tucked away in a back room, and although everyone was professional and helpful, we felt the service was a bit manufactured. We soon realised why. The hotel was simply enormous, with long interconnecting hallways that we got lost on. Some areas felt like a hospital (that weird, T-shaped glass hallway cutting through the middle of the courtyard…?). The restaurant was enormous and felt impersonal. The food was expensive and not good. We were most excited about all the activities they advertised for families. The games room was excellent. Although the gym and pool were great, it was set up as a commercial entity with local members, so it was very busy all the time. The good thing was that there were many classes on offer (free to hotel guests), but the flip side was it felt like a public gym and pool ….a bit like we were in the way. Saying that, we did enjoy meeting the local members and they turned out to be a lot more helpful with recommendations than the concierge. The thing that really let the experience down was the cost of all the other activities. I had signed up for archery, clay pigeon shooting, carriage rides etc, but didn’t realise they cost around £150 per person each activity….it was just too expensive. We got quite bored and restless in the end and wished we’d stayed a shorter period of time. The rooms felt 4 star to us. We had a suite with interconnecting rooms. It was dark so we needed the lights on all day and felt a bit depressing somehow. Overall, it felt to us like a 4 star event venue - tailored to large weddings or the like. It certainly wasn’t up to the standard of other Four Seasons and my guess is that it will either require a major upgrade or be sold to a 4 star chain.
