In the Grounds
Lainston House offers a plethora of things
to enjoy for active guests both on site and on the doorstep.
Get your running shoes on!
Pick up a jogging or walk trail map from
reception and follow the wooden posts that guide the way, or hop on
one of our mountain bikes (we dare you to try the tandem!) and
explore the grounds or local lanes that way.
Pick up a racket
Our two extremely well-maintained tennis
courts are at your disposal and rackets and tennis balls are
available from reception.
Soak in the scenery
You’ll find a bench seat by the lower court,
under the Yew tree for you to relax and soak up the splendid views.
In the evening one may sit quietly and watch the rabbits at play
and you might be lucky enough to see a fox trot across the terraces
or even some deer. Or for a more leisurely activity than tennis,
the croquet and French boule lawns are located just outside the
Drawing Room.
Something a little different...
Our activity field is where we organise fun things such as
archery, motor sports, clay pigeon shooting, falconry and even duck
herding. These activities must be arranged in advance of your stay
but at Lainston House almost anything’s possible… let your
imagination fly and just ask!
