Heckfield Place is unique. Neither a staid country house property – or a seen and be seen one either. Our philosophy is rooted in understated elegance, combined with a modern mindset and respect for the rhythms of the land and seasons.
Today the 200-year-old Georgian house, which is just 40 minutes from Heathrow and an hour from London, has 46 rooms & suites, as well as two private cottages, two restaurants, two bars, private cinema and award-winning holistic spa.
What sets Heckfield truly apart is its forward-thinking relationship with the 438 acres of quintessential English countryside on its surrounding Estate.
Produce is grown biodynamically in the Market Garden and livestock reared on the organic Home Farm. Seasonal food is served in the hotel’s restaurants, Marle and Hearth. Nature leads at Heckfield’s wellbeing space, The Bothy by Wildsmith which has been described by Tatler as ‘the Oxbridge of holistic healing’. Familiar forms of spa therapy, such as facials and massage, are combined with a range of complementary holistic therapies including reiki and myofascial release to create truly personalised care.
There is also an extensive experience offering for guests that spans seasonal activities as well as time with Heckfield’s makers and experts whose knowledge covers everything from the ancient art of food preservation to the Estate’s historic arboretum and foraging the land for ingredients. In addition, Open Ground brings leading minds, experts and new thinking to Heckfield through talks, events and special screenings.
