Heckfield Place is located in the heart of rural Hampshire, just an hour from London.
From 18th Century origins to a 21st Century hotel, Heckfield Place has been gently evolving for over 250 years.
This Georgian family home has been lovingly restored from its classic original state and rewoven into 400 acres of secluded Hampshire countryside.
The elegant interiors honour the history of this magnificent house while remaining effortlessly warm and welcoming.
In the House and the Corridors, each of the guest bedrooms offers a different aspect and connection to the grounds.
From bespoke English oak furniture to mats handwoven from rushes harvested on the River Ouse, their comfort and character is written in the natural materials and meticulous craftsmanship found throughout.
From Guernsey cows to freshly grown vegetables, fruit and flowers, their thriving biodynamic Market Garden and organic Home Farm is at the heart of your Heckfield Place.
Each day fresh produce is sourced from the hotel’s Home Farm and gardens to be simply prepared and served in the restaurants.
