The Elvetham House Country Hotel is indeed “A Pillar Of Hampshire” without a shadow of a doubt!!
Pros:

The Elvetham Hotel is beautiful situated in a stunning location for sure! In my personal humble opinion, what is there not to like🤷‍♀️

As I have stated from a previous stay, I cannot fault this amazing historic hotel whatsoever - from the overall ambience of this incredible venue to The Management and their entire team!!

The cuisine alone which is prepared with local ingredients (obviously where possible) where the attention to detail along with being beautifully presented and of course tasting delicious on all counts from breakfast to lunch to their afternoon tea! I have yet to have an evening meal here but with my above praise, I have absolute confidence that their evening menu will be everything I have stated above!

I have never stayed at a hotel venue whereby The Management along with their entire team have gone that extra mile for all their guests including their four legged ones🐕

I am not one who gives praise lightly or easily but with The Elvetham I have (with deliberate intent) also gone that extra mile here because once again, my entire stay has been exceptional - PERIOD!!!!

Cons:

N/A because of said comments above☝️☝️

Stunning Hotel in an idyllic location
Pros:

An absolutely beautiful Hotel, in a stunning location. We stayed in the stables and the rooms had a lovely nod to its history with horse themed decor. The gardens are immaculate and definitely should be on anyone's to do list while they are there.

Beautiful place
Pros:

We spent one night at Elsenham Hotel and it was such a lovely stay. The estate is gorgeous, with a stunning historic main building that feels straight out of a countryside postcard. The staff were super friendly, and breakfast was genuinely delicious. A perfect little country‑estate escape.

Cons:

Only dog frindly (not pet friendly)

Venue good, staff good and food is excellent.
Pros:

Lots of history within the building to look at as well as nice grounds to walk around in.

Cons:

It would be a good idea to remove outside seating away from the dinning room doors. We had to experience other guest smoking outside by the doors which were open due to being a hot day which isn’t nice when you’re trying to enjoy your food.
