Tips and Tricks from your hosts
Pack a casual bag/tote. There is lots to explore at Heckfield and the weather can be variable, so we found ourselves wanting to carry things like our hotel map, a camera and a sweater or warmer layer when not in our room.
Make sure not to miss afternoon tea! The cake is different every day and always excellent! GF cake is available daily.
Utilize the Boot Room and its parade of Wellington boots when exploring the grounds. The walking trails vary from paved farm roads to wild pasture - so you will likely encounter mud!
For our gluten free guests - Heckfield has excellent house made gluten free bread, mini bar snacks, cake at afternoon tea and more.
Bothy by Wildsmith was recently named one of the Top 10 Spas in Europe and Top 100 Spas in the World by Vogue. We highly recommend reserving a time to visit the waters, hydrotherapy and thermal experiences, and booking a treatment if you have the time.
Eat the butter, it will change your life.
What to wear when enjoying the hotel and grounds? Heckfield is the epitome of elegant casual. Comfortable and tidy clothes and shoes are appropriate in all spaces of the hotel. A shoe that is easy to slide off when putting on Wellies or sitting on a couch is highly recommended.
Cannabis, while legal in most states our guests live in, is illegal in the UK. It is a Class B drug, with penalties of up to 14 years in prison, an unlimited fine, or both. Please take care.
