Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire is an oasis of calm, leisure and luxury. Just 40 minutes from London by car, it's the perfect way to experience the English countryside at its best.
Wer sich zumindest einmal wie ein gestandenes Mitglied der englischen Gentry fühlen möchte, der braucht nicht weiter suchen: in einem “stately home” aus dem 18. Jahrhundert untergebracht, überzeugt das Four Seasons Hampshire mit Britishem Flair, leisen Luxus, und vor allem mit seinen Outdoor-Aktivitäten. Reiten, Wandern oder sogar Eulen streicheln – hier kann man fast alles erleben. Das Luxusangebot steht dem natürlich um nichts nach. Ein Indoor-Swimmingpool, ein großes Spa, eine gemütliche Bibliothek und komfortable Hotelzimmer machen den Urlaub in der englischen Countryside zu einem unvergesslichen Erlebnis.

Hotel guests can choose between bright rooms and spacious suites. One thing is guaranteed: There's a Downton Abbey feeling here, as the old Manor is steeped in history. Completely renovated and restored, you don't have to do without any 21st century amenities. The hotel is particularly renowned for its tranquillity. All rooms overlook the extensive park surrounding the hotel. Everyone can switch off and relax.
How about taking a trip back to the 18th century? The estate is not only home to hotel guests, but also to horses. Here, visitors can admire the Dogmersfield Estate on a carriage ride - Jane Austen vibes guaranteed! And if you know how to ride, you can even get on a horse yourself.
And there are not only horses here: You'll also find owls and some other birds of prey such as falcons and eagles. Together with experts, young and old can get to know the birds up close - petting and feeding included. If you don't want to get too close to the animals, you can also book birdwatching tours from a safe distance.
Other activities without animal company include archery or exploring the estate itself. There are over 200 hectares of fields, forests and much more to discover.
Tranquillity is a top priority at Four Seasons Hampshire. After all, guests escaping the big city and holidaying in the countryside want one thing above all else: to relax. And you can definitely feel this tranquillity in the hotel's spa. An indoor pool, massages of all kinds and high-quality products from Dr. Barbara Sturm, 111SKIN and Ila ensure pure relaxation.
Kulinarisch kann man sich hier natürlich auch komplett verwöhnen lassen. Das Wild Carrot Restaurant sorgt für saisonale Abwechslung – hier werden so gut wie nur lokale Zutaten verwendet. La Terrazza zaubert italienische Pizza aus einem klassischen Holzofen auf die Teller. Teatime darf in England natürlich auch nicht fehlen: Im Salon werden Teegebäck, Scones, Earl Grey und Champagner serviert. Hier bleibt nichts zu Wünschen übrig. Außerdem kann man zwischen drei Bars wählen: The Bar at Wild Carrot wartet mit authentischem Gentleman’s Flair auf, The Library Bar in der Bibliothek lädt zum Socialising und Lesen ein und wer schwimmen und trinken verbinden möchte, kann auch Cocktails bei der Pool Bar genießen.
Tip: The Hotel has its own gelato-shop. Here, you get home-made ice cream.
The estate is of course also the perfect place to get married. Romantic Bridgerton moments come to life when the couple say “I do”. The English countryside, horses in the background, the Georgian house and the excellent service of Four Seasons promise an unforgettable wedding experience.
