Are you a seasoned event enthusiast with a flair for creating unforgettable experiences both inside and outside?

Heckfield is a living place: a Georgian family home lovingly restored to its classic origins and rewoven into 400-acres of Hampshire. Elegantly evolving, resolutely natural, we’re a beautiful piece of English history that redefines the idea of a hotel. We springboard from a storied past, celebrating the slow-and-simple now: a country haven sculpted over centuries by ancient heather, woodland and meadow.
