Chewton Glen Hotel & Spa

Chewton Glen Hotel & Spa occupies an 18th-century manor house within 130 acres of Hampshire woodland, gardens and parkland. On the edge of the New Forest and a short walk from the sea, the estate has a croquet lawn, a walled kitchen garden and a wooded valley where Treehouse Suites stand above the forest floor.

The house has a literary connection to Captain Frederick Marryat, author of The Children of the New Forest, who is believed to have stayed while visiting his brother, Colonel George Marryat. Names drawn from his novels and characters appear among the accommodations. The Marryat Suite takes its name from the family associated with the house.

The house is believed to date to the early 18th century, and the name Chewton Glen House appears in records from 1732. The Duval family first made the house a hotel during the period between 1947 and 1966. Martin and Brigitte Skan bought it in 1966 and helped establish its country house hotel tradition.
