I recently traveled to London for my agency’s annual conference where I was able to meet with colleagues and partners from the across the globe. Before the event, I stayed at Heckfield Place, located about an hour outside of London in Hampshire. The main building of Heckfield Place is a Georgian Estate, which has been lovingly restored and turned into an incredible place to gather during your stay. There are also a few rooms on the second floor of the main building, and they are beautiful (as are the other accommodations). 

Set on 400 acres of lush gardens, woodlands and meadows, I was able to get outside and explore the property while attempting to get over my jet-lag. Depending on the season, activities include discovering the gardens, visiting the working farm, taking a picnic outdoors, a home farm cooking experience for lunch, cycling and hiking, fishing, boating on the lower lake, falconry, forest bathing walk (which I have done and it’s incredibly peaceful), yoga, cocktail masterclasses, wine tasting, and more.
