Chewton Glen Hotel
Classic English country house with genuine modern ambition. Traditional decor in the main house rooms, but the Treehouses and the redesigned public spaces (by London studio Goddard Littlefair) push it well beyond the usual chintz-and-portraits formula. Formal enough to feel like a treat, relaxed enough to bring the kids.
Book a Treehouse for anniversary stays — the continental breakfast hamper is delivered through a hatch each morning, so you don't have to leave
Why It Matters
One of England's most-referenced country house hotels, a Relais & Châteaux member, and home to the UK's first luxury treehouse hotel suites. Named in The Times 100 Best Places to Stay in the UK. Recently awarded Best Luxury Spa by the Well Travelled Awards. The Dining Room holds a Tatler Restaurant Award. Has its own walled kitchen garden and a James Martin cookery school on-site.
Chewton Glen is an 18th-century five-star country house hotel sitting on 130 acres of Hampshire parkland, right where the New Forest meets the edge of the South Coast. It's been doing this longer than almost anyone else in England, and it shows — not in a stuffy way, but in the confidence of a place that knows exactly what it is. The Treehouses are the headline act: 14 private suites suspended 35 feet up in the canopy, each with a wraparound terrace and outdoor hot tub. But the main house holds its own with a recently reimagined Dining Room, a serious spa, and an activity list that runs from falconry to Bear Grylls survival sessions.
Where You'll Stay
15 room types available
Classic Rooms
Traditional country house rooms sitting on the second floor of the main house. Comfortable, well-appointed, and sized at 42 sqm — so not small. Views either over the parkland or slightly more secluded, with some rooms having their own balconies. Good entry point for the property.
King · 42 sqm
Coach House Duplex
A luxurious suite spread across two floors in the Coach House building, separate from the main hotel. More of a self-contained feel, with a distinct character from the main-house rooms.
KingCoach House Mezzanine
Part of the Coach House building, with a mezzanine-style layout giving a sense of volume and drama.
KingCroquet Lawn Rooms
Rooms overlooking the croquet lawn with an eccentric English sensibility in the decor. These tend to be some of the more characterful rooms in the main house.
King
Estate Rooms
A step up in style from Classic Rooms, with understated contemporary elegance. Cosy feel, some with views across the estate.
King
Garden Rooms
The hotel's entry-level accommodation, pitched as ideal for shorter breaks. Garden-adjacent, traditionally decorated in country house style.
KingHot Tub Hotel Suites
Hotel suites with the added bonus of a private outdoor hot tub. Same suite-level space and comfort, but with champagne-on-the-terrace potential built in.
KingHotel Suites
Full suites in the main house, offering generous proportions and a genuine sense of indulgence for a special stay.
KingJunior Suites
Spacious suites with bright, comfortable interiors — green headboards, arched doorways, ample seating. A solid upgrade from the classic rooms without going full suite-level spend.
KingMarryat Suite
Named after Captain Frederick Marryat who once lived nearby, this is the grandest room in the main house. Serious space for serious occasions.
KingMaster Suites
Three individually designed, beautifully appointed suites — each with its own distinct personality. These are at the top end of the main-house accommodation.
KingThe Yews
The largest of the Treehouse category, described as 'the essence of earthy tranquillity'. More earthy and organic in feel than the other Treehouses — uses natural materials throughout. Has a children's bunk area, making it the top family Treehouse pick.
KingTreehouse Hideaway Suite
The most romantically pitched of the Treehouse options — designed specifically for couples looking for seclusion. The name says it.
KingTreehouse Loft Suite
The family-oriented Treehouse option, with a loft layout giving extra space for kids. Same treetop position with hot tub and terrace, but configured for more than two guests.
KingTreehouse Studio Suite
An open-plan studio 35 feet above the forest floor — the entry-level Treehouse is 61 sqm and designed for two people. Floor-to-ceiling windows face the forest canopy. The freestanding bath has unobstructed views of the trees. Breakfast arrives through a hatch each morning. The property's most talked-about accommodation category.
