One of the most eagerly awaited hotel openings in the UK will take place in September, when Heckfield Place in Hampshire welcomes its first guests, the property was originally scheduled to open in 2012, but has been beset by delays.
The Georgian main house, the gardens, and Home Farm form part of a 400-acre estate. When it opens in September, the 46-room hotel will also feature a 67-seat private cinema with bar, a wine cellar, spa and personal training facilities, and two cottages in the grounds.
The two restaurants, Marle and Hearth, will be supplied by the estate’s biodynamic kitchen garden, orchards and farm.
