Hi, we’re Hesdin.
Big homes for big occasions. Big birthdays. Big families. Big reunions

Hesdin Estate

Chapmanslade, Wiltshire
20mins from Bath. 1hr train from London

From intimate weekends to full-blown reunions, The Hesdin Estate, or Hesdin as our friends call us, is an exceedingly gorgeous hamlet of exclusive-hire homes for groups of two to thirty, or more- if you’re popular. Built for being together — for the big birthdays, the big laughs, the big “we don’t do this enough” moments; the late-night talks, the “one more game” moments. Each house has it’s own private pool, hot tub, sauna and games rooms- they’re the perfect mix of stunning design and fun you’ll remember for years.
As our Original Host Arnulf de Hesdin liked to say: “Get everyone you love around one table, serve carbs, tell stories and call it a triumph.”

The Hesdin Experience

Gorgeously delightful homes with insane facilities for exclusive hire

Get competitive in your games room, practise your synchronised swimming in your pool, sweat out the night before in your sauna, or cook up a storm for the family in your huge kitchen. Get pickled by the pool, ponder just how mini the Hesdin mini pigs really are ( spoiler - not nearly as mini as we were led to believe) and dine out under the stars, there’s far too much to cram in to a weekend. Each Hesdin home has facilities you’d see in a five star spa hotel, but without the riff raff-
unless you’ve invited them. Exclusively yours!

BOOK

The Togetherness Effect at Hesdin…

Together feels effortless here. Our homes are built for gathering: big tables, big sofas, big swimming pools, big rooms filled with noise, splashing, chatter and energy. Spaces that make you forget your phone.

There’s a special kind of alchemy that happens when your favourite people are all under one roof. Kids with chlorine curls racing from pool to games room. Adults lingering at the table long after the plates are cleared. Someone declaring “rematch” again at the ping pong table.

When the years pile up and we replay the good bits, we won’t remember the matcha, the IV drips, the stillness of being zen. We’ll remember the long tables, shared meals, and the people who made life feel full. This is true wellness - at least the kind we believe in.

As our Original Host Arnulf de Hesdin, liked to say: ”Happiness is simple, darling — feed your people, fill the glasses, and sit together until the candles melt.”

Now taking bookings for…

Ready to look ahead? Good. Because 2027 bookings are now open.
Our homes are already being secured up to 18 months in advance, and honestly — it makes sense. Wrangling a group is no small feat; getting everyone to agree on anything is practically heroic. But once the date is locked in? Everything softens. There’s a collective exhale. You’ve chosen the house, paid a small deposit, secured the dream weekend… and suddenly the WhatsApp group becomes excited instead of chaotic.

As Our Original Host Arnulf de Hesdin likes to remind us:
“A future plan, my dear, is a present joy.”
