SUMMER DINING
From picnics across our estate, to lunching on the Italian Terrace. Let's go al fresco.
There's no better way to reconnect with nature than dining in the Great Outdoors. Both Marle and Hearth are lucky enough to have outdoor terraces to make the most of when the weather behaves. But a picnic down by the Lower Lake or a long lunch on the Italian Terrace are not to be overlooked...

Nature and history coincide and sit on our doorstep – from sites like Stonehenge and Windsor Castle, to the rich woodlands, rolling parks and Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty that make up the natural Hampshire landscape.
All just an hour from London…
