A Place of Wonderment
Our core is Georgian, with limestone buildings the colour of burnt honey, the seat of the Hobhouse family for more than two centuries. Hadspen and the Farmyard nestle quietly amongst apple orchards, lakes, hidden valleys, spectacular viewpoints and woodland that reflect the love lavished upon them over the past 300 years.
Stay this Festive Season
Join us across the festive season for a four night stay over Christmas, a three night stay over New Year - or a short break in between.
Spa
Relax and unwind in the spa with its indoor-outdoor pool, steam room, sauna, salt infusion chamber and treatment rooms. Reconnect in the Medieval Herb garden, sit for a manicure, get some added stress relief through couples’ mud therapy, or enjoy a proper washdown in the hammam. If you are looking for a bit more action, take a stretch in the Gym while watching the gardeners tending to vegetables in the kitchen garden or join one of our many yoga and wellbeing classes. Newt members can take advantage of our spa day offers, whilst hotel residents can also enjoy the pool at the Farmyard during their stay.
The Farmyard
Just beyond the cyder orchards and Four Seasons Garden, half a mile from Hadspen as the crow flies, this former dairy farm is a place to spread out and lean back, cheek-to-rosy-cheek with grazing livestock and sheltering oaks. Original farm buildings, with a delightfully golden patina, are home to rooms, a pool, bar, snug and all-day kitchen. Complimentary drinks are available at the Garner Bar for hotel residents, while bikes and buggies provide ample opportunity for pootling over to the gardens, the spa at Hadspen and The Botanical Rooms restaurant in less than 10 minutes.
Farmyard Kitchen
Experience creative dishes worth sharing. Located in an old Threshing Barn, the beating heart of a repurposed dairy farm serving hearty, cheering fare using ingredients grown, foraged and reared on the estate. Seasonal elements, wood-fired then dished-up in the open kitchen in front of your table.
Lunch & Dinner are available to non-residents by advance booking only, please arrive at least 15 minutes prior to your booking time via the main entrance, off the A359 and park in the hotel car park, you will be able to buggy over to the Farmyard.
Hadspen House and Stables
The main house was built in the 17th century, then remodelled in Georgian times. Capturing the essence of a Georgian family home, its restrained, classical beauty is offset by playful design; while the original working Stable Yard has been transformed into sophisticated accommodation, retaining characteristics harking back to its equestrian past. Sip tea in the Library, play croquet on the lawn or enjoy a game of badminton in Old Knobbly. Complimentary Cream Tea is served daily for hotel residents, and the Farmyard Kitchen is a mere 10 minute buggy ride away through the glorious cyder orchard.
The Botanical Rooms
Enjoy elegant and seasonal dining, inspired by and gathered from your surroundings. We invite you to feast on estate vegetables, the choicest cuts from the salt room and dayboat fish from the Dorset coast. We gladly accept non-residents and non-members for lunch and dinner with a pre-booking.
