Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire Review: A Luxury Country Escape for Families
Set in the rolling English countryside just an hour outside of London, Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire feels like stepping into a storybook — complete with a 18th-century manor house, sprawling green fields, and more family-friendly activities than you can fit into a weekend.
Our family spent several nights here and quickly realized why this property has become a favorite for families looking to balance luxury with adventure.
The Suite Life
We stayed in a One-Bedroom Suite, and it was exactly what a family needs: spacious, elegantly designed, and practical for life with kids. The separate living area gave our children space to play (and us a chance to relax once they were asleep). Details like the deep soaking tub, plush Four Seasons bedding, and countryside views made it feel indulgent, while thoughtful touches like kid-sized amenities kept everyone happy.
Fun for the Kids
The highlight for our children? Without a doubt, the Sharkey’s Water World splash zone. It’s the kind of place where kids could happily spend hours, darting between the water slides and fountains. But the fun doesn’t stop there — the Kids For All Seasons Club is top-notch, offering daily programming with everything from crafts to outdoor adventures. The staff were warm, creative, and full of energy — giving us peace of mind and the kids endless fun.
Adventures for the Whole Family
If your family is the active type, this property is a dream:
Horseback Riding: The on-site equestrian center is extraordinary, whether your children are trying pony rides for the first time or you’re an experienced rider looking for a hack through the countryside.
Sports Galore: Tennis, croquet, cycling, fishing, falconry, Mini soccer field — you name it, it’s here. We loved that activities were designed for all ages and levels, so the whole family could get involved.
Swimming: Beyond Sharkey’s, the hotel also has a beautiful indoor pool and spa pool for quieter family time.
complimentary bikes : with all sizes! Perfect for exploring the entire property
playground : It’s the simple pleasures sometimes…our kids loved the two centrally located playground on site!
It’s rare to find a property that caters equally to energetic kids and parents who want a touch of indulgence, but Four Seasons Hampshire does just that.
