A lovingly restored former Georgian family home – just over an hour from London – Heckfield Place stands on 400 acres of secluded Hampshire countryside and offers a haven with a distinct flavour of history and escapism.

With 45 bedrooms set across the main house and including a private lodge in the grounds, this beautifully restored grand English property is also home to two restaurants by Culinary Director Skye Gyngell, a Dolby Atmos screening room and The Little Bothy Spa. All set amongst wild meadows, and ancient woodland dotted with walled wisteria, rose and heather.

Aiming to transport guests to a simpler time as they reconnect to nature’s rhythm in the estate’s hidden landscape, The Little Bothy Spa offers a comprehensive treatment range using products from Wildsmith Skin, as well as specialities from wellness expert Bodyism.

The Little Bothy

With restorative treatments from the Wildsmith Skin natural skincare range, The Little Bothy Spa is the perfect place to relax and rejuvenate. Guests have access to five treatment rooms and a steam and relaxation room. There’s also three studios for yoga, Pilates and personal training overseen by the fitness specialists at Bodyism.

Opening Soon: The Bothy Spa.

Offering all-natural treatments and an innovative approach to health and wellbeing, The Bothy Spa is a recent addition to the hotel’s Little Bothy Spa.

Beyond a walled garden on the edge of a woodland, it offers a light-filled pool and a forest bathing-inspired Oak Terrace. Three personal training spaces host classes in yoga and Pilates as well as sessions with wellness experts from Bodyism.

The spa’s ten treatment rooms will deliver a menu that includes facials as well as body-scrub, wrap and reiki treatments. Massages include the 120-minute Biodynamic Thai Massage, and all treatments use natural Wildsmith Skin products inspired by the arboretum at Heckfield Place.

To get the blood pumping there is also a fitness room with a Peleton bike, a cross-trainer, bike and free weights as well as some of the latest Technogym equipment.

With a total of 46 rooms, guests can choose between the elegant and cosily constructed Master, Chamber, Guest and Friends rooms, which are variously nestled along characterful corridors within the house and have beautiful garden views.

Signature Rooms aim to connect guests to the history of Heckfield Place: the Lake Room with sweeping bay windows and panoramic views of the water; the sumptuous Ochre Room with its emperor bed; the striking Long Room with its original vaulted Georgian ceiling.

For the ultimate in countryside getaways, Church Lodge is a black and white timbered house within its own gardens that a windy staircase and two bedrooms that sleep a family of four.

With a focus on using local and responsibly grown ingredients, the Marle Restaurant philosophy is to allow diners to experience “the immediacy of food straight from the earth”. Culinary director Skye Gyngell and his team create dishes that evolve with the seasons and feature many ingredients produced at the estate’s biodynamic market garden. Outdoor terrace dining in warmer months only strengthens the connection.

Hearth restaurant is an intimate and relaxed dining space with an outdoor courtyard that serves understated but bountiful plates. The Glass House inside a walled garden is the perfect location for afternoon tea of homemade cakes.

Later on, indulge in a cocktail at the intimate Moon Bar in the centre of the house or sample the sensational wines of the Cellar bar.
