"High life in the British countryside "
AT A GLANCE: Set on 400 acres of grounds in Hampshire, conveniently just an hour from London, Heckfield Place is luxury countryside living. Completely plastic-free, along with all the sustainable measures in check, including its own biodynamic farm that supports in-house gastronomy, the hotel is committed to the future as much as it is to the house’s 18th-century origins. With ample activities — from badminton and croquet to picnics by the pond and wellness options to wine tasting — you get to relax while also getting the option to keep yourself busy. Perfect for groups and families, Heckfield Place is a pet-friendly place that should be on your travel radar.
