Chewton Glen Hotel & Spa

We held our 25th wedding anniversary renewal ceremony at Chewton Glen at the end of November 2024. We hosted 24 friends and family for the weekend, and could not fault the service we had from all of the wonderful staff. Georgia organised the whole thing and was totally amazing and made sure the weekend was as special as we wanted it. We stayed in a hideaway tree house, and our teenage children stayed next door in a loft suite treehouse. It gave us the perfect home from home accommodation to really relax and make the most of our stay. We chose Chewton Glen for our renewal after a stay in a treehouse for our 20th wedding anniversary. We knew it was the perfect place. I cannot recommend it enough, and am already looking forward to my next visit.

My husband and I recently enjoyed another truly wonderful night at the Chewton Glen. Our room was amazing overlooking the grounds with balconies leading off the lounge and bedroom areas. The Christmas decorations in the lobby and throughout the hotel were magical. What always stands out for us at the CG is the impeccable customer service which is always of the very highest standard, food of the highest quality and its certainly a place to make memories. We have stayed at the Chewton Glen many times and to say we had a great time every stay is an understatement! This is hospitality of the highest standard. Our sincere thanks to all the team that cared for us so well.

This is a beautiful hotel. I waited for a few hours in the lounge and was supposed to have lunch after my husband completed a cookery course at the kitchen just up the hill (on the hotel’s site). It was baffling. The receptionist was hasty and unwelcoming. The waiter on the door at breakfast looked over my head and ignored me and addressed the man standing behind me in the queue. There were two very nice bar men who looked after me in the lounge. Then I went to collect my husband from the kitchen so that we could have lunch but the course was over-running. I called the hotel to check whether being a bit late for our 1.30 reservation would be okay and was told that last orders for lunch were at 1.30 and as we were now at 1.40 we would only be able to have afternoon tea. Finally I was told that if I came alone and my husband walked down the hill to the hotel I might be able to order lunch after all. I cancelled our table in person as I needed to settle my lounge bill and the very nice waiter told me he wasn’t working in the dining room actually - and then said he was and he could help me after all. I found the whole experience really confusing and inflexible. I’m sure it’s different if you are a hotel guest but I’d been hoping to return to the spa and probably won’t now. I choose to visit hotels because I find them accommodating and flexible and CG seemed the opposite of that. Though very beautiful.

Our fifth time at Chewton Glen Hotel and have loved every single stay. The quality of service is exceptional, the level of care and consideration from booking to check out is incredible. The rooms beautiful and were treated to an upgrade when visiting for my 40th birthday…5 years on and we return to a warm welcome. Dining delicious - would highly recommend the tasting menu for special occasions or The Kitchen for more casual, family option. We are lucky enough to have stayed at some other notable hotels including Coworth Park, Cliveden House but this is by far our favourite.

We stayed as a family with a 5 and 3 year old. The hotel strikes the perfect balance between luxury and informality such that standards are high across the board and yet it has a really strong sense of homeliness to it. Service was infallibly excellent and always accommodating - nothing was too much trouble and staff consistently went above and beyond to look after us and our children. Kids club was excellent the girls didn't want to leave, loads of activities to do in and around the hotel even in winter and the nearby beach is great for walks. For a high quality family holiday in the UK I don't think you can do much better.
