Hook

Heckfield Place

Rialto is a Virtuoso agency and can provide VIP access and offers.

Heckfield Place could be the setting for a Jane Austen novel – the author lived in nearby Chawton. Inside this 46-room Georgian family home, however, lies a reimagined Hampshire retreat that makes ample use of local materials, such as English oak furnishings and handwoven rugs made of rushes from the River Ouse. The 438-acre estate is blanketed in ancient heathers and woodlands, with two lakes and walled gardens for contemplative strolls. A biodynamic Market Garden and organic Hom Farm provides fresh produce and honey for chef Skye Gyngell to work her Michelin-starred magic, as well as herbs for healing treatments in The Bothy by Wildsmith.

About Heckfield Place

Insider tip

Spend time in the digital-free therapeutic space of wellbeing, The Bothy by Wildsmith, to experience a recalibration of time and deep rest.

In the hotel’s own words

A beautiful Georgian family home lovingly restored to its historic origins, Heckfield Place is at the heart of a bountiful 438-acre estate. Less than an hour from London the estate has been rewoven, connecting a 46-bedroom House and grounds in this secluded corner of Hampshire. Resolutely natural, elegantly evolving, this is a living place centred on sustainability and a forward-thinking view on the relationship with the land. Everything is rooted in the estate’s rich soil, including the biodynamic Market Garden and organic Home Farm, walled gardens and 500-tree orchard that fuel the House's food and drink. Two distinct dining experiences curated by Chef Skye Gyngell await including the Green Michelin-starred Marle and open-fired Hearth, as well as the intimate Moon Bar nestled in the heart of the House. The estate offers much to do that makes the most of time spent in nature with experiences like cold water immersion, falconry, boating, picnics and more.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does booking through Rialto cost more than booking with the hotel?

No - VIP rates under Virtuoso always meet or beat hotel's public, flexible rate, and provide valuable amenities and possible upgrades. Rialto also provides the hotel's non-VIP and corporate rates, so you can compare with full transparency.

What is the value of the VIP benefits?

Daily breakfast for two plus the $100 hotel credit come with every stay at this hotel - adding $100-200/day in value. A room upgrade could also be worth a substantial amount, in addition to early check-in / late check-out benefits when available.

How does this compare to other programs, like through AMEX Fine Hotels & Resorts, or Chase Edit?

Using a hotel's own VIP program may provide higher upgrade priority, additional VIP benefits and promotional rate offers, and a direct relationship with the hotel for special requests. Rialto offers more VIP hotels than any credit card program. In addition, Chase Edit rates can be substantially more expensive as they rarely run promotions whereas AMEX rates are often comparable but do not offer programs such as Upgrade at Booking.

Can my AI assistant book this hotel?

Yes. Connect Rialto to Claude or ChatGPT and ask for rates. You finish the booking on a secure Rialto page. Card details are not sent through the AI chat, so either you would approve the final checkout step and reconfirm all the information, or if you authorize your agent with Computer-Use permissions, it can fill out the checkout form as well.
