Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire

SOMETHING OLD, SOMETHING NEW, SOMETHING BORROWED, SOMETHING BLUE…

Romance Abounds at English Country Retreat

 
 Perched in the midst of an ancient rural estate, Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire redefines the essence of quintessential English country living. Here, the authenticity of an archetypal English manor house is combined with the exemplary facilities and gracious service for which Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts is internationally renowned.

The result is an intimate haven of pure Georgian charm that exceeds 21st century expectations.

The Dogmersfield Park Estate originally housed a medieval palace, which was passed between crown and church for much of its history.

Henry VI stayed at Dogmersfield Park on many occasions but perhaps most notably, the estate provided the arena for Henry VIII’s initial meeting with the first of his six wives; Catherine of Aragon, just weeks before her arranged marriage to his brother, Arthur, then their to the throne.

Dating back to 1728, the heritage-listed manor house, around which the Hotel is built, has

spectacular views over the Hampshire countryside Add to this, the manor’s ancient association with high society – and in Henry VIII’s case, a royal scandal – and guests can

experience a taste of Hampshire’s historical and cultural wealth without leaving the Hotel grounds. Just an hour from central London, this intimate, historic retreat promises you the Four Seasons touch with storybook charm and gracious, intuitive service to create the wedding of your dreams.

 
The wonderfully restored 18th-century heritage listed Walled Garden is the perfect setting for a summer ceremony, when the air is thick with the scent of wild flowers. The garden’s Summer House, with its obelisk silhouetted against the sky, forms the perfect location for that first captured moment. In addition there are five beautifully appointed private rooms licensed for civil ceremonies for those cooler months.
