On this episode of The Last Resort, host Christina Jelski talks to Carolyn Consalvo, a senior travel advisor with Andrew Harper, about her recent visits to two country estates in the U.K.: The Newt and Heckfield Place.

Jelski and Consalvo talk about why The Newt and Heckfield Place are best paired with a city trip to London, and why garden aficionados find themselves flocking to The Newt in particular. Consalvo also clarifies a few misconceptions that U.S. travelers might have about a U.K. country estate experience, as well as the role modern pop culture—from Downton Abbey to Saltburn—has played in making country estates cool again.

Currently in its second season, The Last Resort is a monthly hospitality-focused podcast brought to you by Travel Weekly. In each episode, travel advisors share their first impressions of the last resort they visited.

The third episode of the second season will be posted on March 11.
