A New Forest Country House

On the edge of the New Forest in Hampshire, Chewton Glen is a five-star country house hotel and spa set in 130 acres, with rooms, suites and signature treehouses, two restaurants and an award-winning spa and country club.

A country house and spa near the coast

Chewton Glen is an 18th-century country house hotel set in 130 acres of Hampshire countryside, bordering the New Forest and around ten minutes from the South Coast beaches. A member of Relais & Chateaux, it mixes traditional English country house rooms with its best-known feature, a collection of private treehouse suites raised among the trees, each with a hot tub. The estate is geared to both activity and rest, with an award-winning spa and country club, indoor and outdoor pools, tennis and pickleball, golf and a long list of outdoor pursuits. Dining runs from the fine-dining Dining Room to the relaxed Kitchen by James Martin, which doubles as a cookery school, and much of the produce comes from the hotel’s own kitchen garden. It suits couples, families and groups, and works year round, whether you want to be busy outdoors or simply settle in by the fire.

Dining

Chewton Glen has two main restaurants. The Dining Room is the fine-dining option, led by Executive Head Chef Luke Matthews, with much of the produce drawn from the hotel’s own kitchen garden. The Kitchen by James Martin is the relaxed alternative, serving wood-fired pizzas, burgers and easy plates, and it doubles as a cookery school.

Afternoon tea is served with views over the grounds, and the Pool Bar and sun terrace handle lighter bites by the spa. Private dining can also be arranged.
