Eating and Drinking
To enjoy your day of fun activities at Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire, you’ll need plenty of fuel. Thankfully, the Hotel’s restaurant Wild Carrot offers a delicious and varied children’s menu, along with a served buffet, filled with tasty treats. We loved their selection of breakfast and delicious menu for lunch and dinner including their braised lamb shoulder is their signature dish, a must try. If as parents you want to enjoy a meal without the children, their concierge team can organise a babysitter with their choice of preferred babysitting agencies. The family friendly restaurant ticks all boxes, where children under age 5 can enjoy complimentary dining. The staff are always there with a smile to support your every need.
Take Time for an Easter Afternoon Tea in the Library
Take some time to celebrate this Easter with a specially crafted afternoon tea, created by the talented Pastry Chef Maxime Gourlain. Enjoy the traditional Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire Tea with a tasty Easter themed twist, all in the peaceful setting of the Hotel’s quintessentially British 18th century Library.
Family Rooms
After a day of exploring, you and your family can unwind in our recently renovated rooms. Perfect for multi-generation travel, rooms can be booked with adaptable sofa beds and additional cribs. For new parents, the Hotel offers a variety of baby friendly amenities, from nappies to changing mats. The housekeeping team also ensure that each child receives their own surprise personalised welcome in their room.
Animal Adventures
A host of animal antics await with the return of Four Seasons alpaca farm. Great fun for older and younger guests alike, this farm gives everyone the chance to get up close to these cuddly creatures. Bird fans will have the chance to learn more about all the feathered friends with a traditional falconry display. Finally, no trip to Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire would be complete without a visit from the property’s resident, mischievous Shetland ponies Milo and Dougal.
Dinky Disco and Children’s Cinema
The fun doesn’t stop as the evening comes about, with special movie nights and discos. These themed evenings not only ensure a great time for children but are perfect for parents wanting to have a break and enjoy a child-free evening.
Easter Hunt
It wouldn’t be Easter at Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire without an Easter egg hunt for the kids on the estate. Set in the property’s picturesque Walled Garden, children are invited to search for a bright and colourful mix of eggs with the help of the Hotel’s very own Easter bunny.
Splashing Fun at Sharkie’s Reef
Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire fun-packed family adventure pool Sharkie’s Reef is a firm favourite with the young (and young at heart) complete with a four-metre (13 foot) slide, rotating umbrella fountain and bubble jets. Resident Pirate Bobby is also on hand for those starting their swimming journey, offering swimming lessons in the reef’s training pool. For those looking for something a little less splashy and a little more serene, Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire also has a 20 metre (66 foot) conservatory pool hidden within the converted 18th century stable block spa, perfect for parents seeking a relaxing dip.
A little self care goes a long way
For the busy Mum, self care is not selfish. We loved their Spa, including their Hampshire Herbal Massage and Outdoor Vitality Pool.
The Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire also offer Kids’ Yoga classes. A unique exciting, creative, and calming experience, each class presents a blend of yoga and mindfulness to encourage kids to grow in confidence and to the best of their ability.
