Skip Summer Chaos: Here’s Why Autumn at Hesdin Is Countryside Goals
What’s the secret to beating the post-summer blues? An autumn getaway!
The sun loungers might be packed away, but who says holidays are just for summer? It’s the perfect time for roaring fires, heated pools and long evenings spent laughing with family and friends.
That’s where Hesdin Estate comes in. In the heart of the Wiltshire countryside, Hesdin isn’t just a summer escape – it’s a year-round playground where every house has its own flavour of magic. Here’s why autumn might just be the best time of year to visit.
Shorter Stays, Same Big Memories
You asked, and we delivered. Say hello to two-night stays at some of our favourite houses! Such as The Wealthy Merchant, where you can soak under the stars in the hot tub bubbles, or Hayho House, with its dreamy barn-style dining area that basically demands a banquet.
Perfect for a midweek pick-me-up or a quick escape, these mini getaways run Monday–Wednesday or Wednesday–Friday from September through December.
Same roaring fires, same steamy hot tubs, same stunning countryside views… just in perfectly bite-sized doses of Hesdin magic.
Leaves, Laughs, and a Little Hesdin Magic
The sun might be lower in the sky, but the pools at Hesdin are hotter than ever. Dive into THAT heated pool in The Corn Crib and unleash your inner mermaid, and indulge in the hot tubs that offer a sensuous escape. Climb into the panoramic sauna in Lady Ava’s Tower and take in the breathtaking countryside views.
Whether you’re diving in alone, with friends, or after a brisk countryside walk, every moment is a mix of warmth, luxury, and playful adventure.
Dive Into Autumn: Hot Pools, Steamy Saunas & Hot Tubs you’ll never want to leave
Who says pool season ends when summer does? Not us.
Every pool at Hesdin is heated, hot, and basically begging for those cold-ears, warm-body dips. The Corn Crib’s steamy indoor pool is open 365 days a year, our hot tubs bubble rain or shine, and Lady Ava’s panoramic sauna is hands-down the best spot to watch the Wiltshire leaves fall as the sun goes down.
Want to take things up a notch? Our Bahamas package turns up the heat for a silky, indulgent soak so good you’ll never want to get out.
Level Up Your Family Fun (PJs Optional)
Longer autumn nights? Perfect excuse for a full-on family game takeover. Our Hesdin houses come packed with games rooms that have everything from Xboxes to pool tables - basically, all the fuel you need for some seriously competitive evenings.
Go full tournament mode in Pigertons, complete with its jaw-dropping 7-TV wall, ideal for when your brother swears he’s about to crush you at Mario Kart. With endless ways to play, watch, and laugh together, what more could you want?
Feast Like Royalty
Autumn is foodie season, and Lady Ava’s kitchen is the spot for family feasts, kitchen banter, or just a dangerously full glass of red. With exposed beams and more wine glasses than you’ll ever admit to using, you’ll be sipping something sparkly while pretending you’re on MasterChef. Those floor-to-ceiling glass doors? They serve Wiltshire countryside views on a platter, so your Sunday roast comes with a side of rolling hills.
Spacious, stylish, and armed with every utensil you didn’t know you needed, it’s built for slow roasts, chef-level spreads, or simply showing off your chopping skills. Whether you’re cooking together, drafting in a private chef, or just topping up the wine while everyone else does the hard work, Lady Ava’s kitchen isn’t just where you cook, it’s where the heart of your getaway shows off.
Countryside walks so good, you’ll forget your phone exists
Autumn in Wiltshire? Honestly, it might just be the county’s glow-up moment. Think patchwork fields, woodland trails, and sunsets so golden they don’t even need an Instagram filter. And staying at Hesdin? You’ve basically got front-row seats to the magic.
Start your morning with a stroll along our 1km runway, winding through green hills that scream “picture-perfect.” Then, take a plunge into THAT legendary black-and-white pool, or, if chill’s more your vibe, sip your morning coffee on Pigertons’ roof terrace while our resident alpacas and mini pigs judge your life choices (adorably, of course).
Autumn Called, it wants you at Hesdin
Summer might have packed its bags, but Hesdin? We’re just getting started. Autumn rolls in with its own kind of wow! Think crisp air, golden light, and a vibe that’s 100% made for Hesdin’s mix of luxe, fun, and full-on countryside charm.
Grab a blanket, pour yourself something decadent, and let autumn’s glow sneak into every corner of your stay. Trust us, this is the kind of cosy you actually deserve.
