Heckfield Place


Overview

Guests of Heckfield Place will live out their Jane Austen fantasies in this lovingly restored, luxurious Georgian family estate set on 438 acres of lush gardens, woodlands and meadows in North Hampshire, England. At this gracious 45-bedroom country residence, just about everything is rooted in the estate’s rich soil, including the biodynamic Home Farm and practices, walled gardens and 500-tree orchard that enrich the hotel’s cuisine.

Resolutely natural, elegantly evolving, this is a living place centered on sustainability and a forward-thinking view on the relationship with its land. Each day, produce is picked fresh from the gardens and farm and served in restaurants Marle and Hearth helmed by Culinary Director and Chef Skye Gyngell. In the summer afternoons, the upper walled garden offers seasonal Heckfield Place tea served at the Glass House with freshly baked house cakes and produce from the Home Farm. When the sun sets, the Moon Bar comes to life. Drinks and infusions are made with the freshest ingredients, breathing new life and flavor into classic cocktails and inspiring creations in one of the House's most intimate settings.

Guests can cozy up with a bottle of wine from the extensive cellar, cue up a film in the 67-seat screen room, or find serenity with treatments using all-natural products at The Little Bothy Spa, which will soon be expanded to offer more amenities including an outdoor pool. Nearby, there’s antiques shopping in Hartley Wintney village, rowing on the Whitewater River, and quintessential British pastimes such as cycling, horseback riding and clay pigeon shooting. Guests are invited to participate in cultural events held at The Assembly, a space designed to unearth, reconnect and rediscover or find inspiration in nature while exploring the winding trails of its historic ancient woodlands.
