Lainston House, Country house hotel in Sparsholt, England.

Lainston House stands on 63 acres of grounds with a 17th-century architecture and features 50 guest rooms designed for luxurious accommodation.

Sir Christopher Wren initiated construction of Lainston House in 1683 on medieval dwelling foundations, commissioned by Charles II who resided there with Louise de Keroualle.

The property contains England's longest line of lime trees, extending nine-tenths of a mile, with initial plantings dating back to 1716.

The hotel includes The Avenue restaurant overlooking lime trees and The Wellhouse for wood-fired cooking, plus a kitchen garden supplying fresh produce.

Elizabeth Chudleigh's secret marriage to Augustus Hervey in 1744 at Lainston House's private chapel sparked significant legal disputes about marriage validity.
