Heckfield Place

A picturesque Georgian house on an impressive estate in Hampshire, just an hour from London, is the setting for a hotel that might just mark the next evolution of the country-house hotel genre. Heckfield Place feels at once fresh and familiar; its renovations were substantial but sensitive, and its décor is stylish but subtle. The 45 rooms range from the cozy Friends rooms to the expansive and unique Signature rooms; at all sizes they’re luxurious and impeccably tasteful. Among the other attractions are a substantial spa and a pair of fine restaurants.
