Chewton Glen Hotel & Spa

Average, staff are great except one a lady called Krissy on the front desk. Just Nice , no real wow , great food , but other that that average. Would i visit again , probably not .

Pros: -Great overall - pleasant service, large rooms with comfortable bed -Accommodating for children - from small gifts like a book, toiletries and cot bed -Food - nice to have both fine dining and more casual restaurant (fresh pizza was great) -Plenty of walks, well taken care grounds , large green lawns -Swimming pool is large , dedicated times for children. Loungers around swimming pool not too busy -plenty of electric chargers in parking Cons: -At checkout additional service charge added - this is not as common when already have tips in restaurant / bar, so would have been preferred to have this more obvious and explained at checkout

A visit to the Chewton Glen for afternoon tea was devine. From the moment of arrival we were greeted with pleasantness and excellent service. The hospitality team were well informed and guided us through a delicious afternoon tea menu. Delicate sandwiches, tasty pastries, and warm scones with conserves were plentiful, fresh and served to perfection. Tea, champagne, water and coffee was fabulous. No time constraints made the whole experience so relaxing and enjoyable. A walk in the gardens afterwards to experience the splendour of the hotel and grounds was an additional bonus to a fantastic experience. Would highly recommend a visit to this wonderful hotel.

Nanny Sam’s Cakes and Solent Retreat took a short road trip to the New Forest and visited the infamous chewtonglen 🤫 Wow the afternoon tea far exceeded my expectations as I was whisked back to good old fashioned table service with staff who just could not do enough for you - nothing was too much trouble 💕 The hotel was stunning and the surroundings so well manicured - an amazing afternoon eating and strolling around the walled garden and grounds - Nanny Sam had a go on the swing on the tree 🌳 The food was out of this world and I was so relieved when they allowed us to take home a doggy bag with the delicacies we couldn’t squeeze in 🍰🧁🥪 Thank you for a great afternoon and we’ll be back - I need to do the beach walk 🌊 and perhaps take part in one of your cooking classes 👩‍🍳 #funfriday #foodiefriday #friendsfriday #afternoontea #sandwiches #cake #pastries #tea #greatcustomerservice

Amazing hotel grounds, wonderful staff, incredible walled garden and wonderful breakfast. All five star. What was not to like.. well our room - Room 56 - was in desperate need of a full refurb. with furniture and shower room showing clear signs of wear and tear. Not helped by the fact that on arrival the balcony door windows had greasy toddler fingerprints, and the black radiator had a thick layer of dust. The room was more akin to 3 star.
