for an afternoon champagne and canap\u00e9 picnic complete with a stop at a local pub. Adventurous groups can tackle the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fourseasons.com\/hampshire\/experiences\/\"> on-property highwire and zip-line courses, ride horses, or learn the art of falconry during a Hawk Walk<\/a>. The latter involves accompanying a Harris&#8217; hawk around the estate under the guidance of an expert falconer as you learn all about the majestic creature.<\/p>\n<p>Come dinnertime, connect with each other and nature during a barbecue supper in the historic Walled Garden, which has beautiful gates, dovecotes and some much-valued privacy. Enjoy a dinner specially prepared by Four Seasons chefs and a spot of croquet in the nearby orchard.<\/p>\n<p>Three wings of rooms and suites furnished with English countryside d\u00e9cor adjoin the 18th-century Georgian Manor House at the centre of the Hotel. Groups can work with the Concierge to choose a wing that suits them best. Large suites in the East, South and West wings provide sweeping views over the Estate\u2019s grassy fields, and the spacious <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fourseasons.com\/hampshire\/accommodations\/specialty-suites\/royal_suite\/\">Royal Suite<\/a> on the ground floor of the West Wing features a balcony for appreciating sunsets over the countryside. But history enthusiasts might prefer staying in the restored Manor House itself.
