HHeckfield Place, Hampshire

Mr Wolfe’s review of Heckfield Place

  • Privately owned
  • Historic building
  • Beautiful location
  • Superb service
  • Within 90 minutes of London

A pristine Georgian mansion with contemporary interiors at once ultra-chic and soothingly low-key, set in 400 acres of parkland. The farm supplies the kitchens and the kitchens supply a kind of bliss.

It is serene to the point of sedation. The cinema, the wine cellar and the lake all compete for one’s afternoon, and I have never once regretted a long walk followed by a longer lunch.
