Following the unveiling of the new Chewton Glen treehouse at RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2019 by Joe Sugg and Dianne Buswell, the treehouse has moved to its permanent home at Chewton Glen, opening as a children's club in summer 2019. After all, the New Forest is where novel The Children of the New Forest was written by Captain Marryat in 1848.

If you fancy upgrading your stay, The Marryat Suite is their biggest, and oldest suite in the hotel, acting as the original bedroom and lounge of the house back in the 18th-century. The best part of the suite is the private terrace with views of the Croquet Lawn.

Chewton Glen also offer something a little different than your traditional hotel stay. High among the canopies of the New Forest, Chewton Glen has created six wonderful Treehouses. These treetop residences with spectacular valley views are completely secluded, yet enjoy all the luxury and services association with Chewton Glen. They even include a rather delicious breakfast hamper in the morning, so there is no need to leave your treetop paradise quite so early.

Not one to do things by halves, Chewton Glen have teamed up with Veuve Clicquot to offer a picnic bike ride. You’ll be provided with a bike with a basket, a freshly prepared picnic equipped with a soft blanket to sit on and half a bottle of Veuve Clicquot Champagne to keep you refreshed during your travels.

Chewton Glen is also home to hidden pathways, beehives and a majestic mini-forest awaiting your intrepid footsteps. And if you want to explore beyond the hotel ground, you can escape through a private gate and arrive out onto the sandy coastline of both Hampshire and Dorset in 10 minutes.
