I don’t know where to begin writing this review, since there is so much I want to thank The Chewton Glen for and the whole team there. Where do I start? Georgia Blacknell is truly this hotel’s superstar. Nothing, and I mean nothing, is too much trouble for her and since we organised this back in January 2020 we have experienced first class service from her and the team. We cannot credit her enough for keeping us sane at times when we thought we’d have to cancel due to covid. Every phone call and email was delivered with such enthusiasm and care making sure we had everything covered, she even checked that we’d had eaten breakfast the morning of the wedding!

Everything was organised for us, every request we made, taken care of. Just amazing. The hotel itself is so iconic and impressed us from the moment we first visited. Every single member of staff from the person who met us at the entrance and took everything to our room, the check in staff, everyone you will encounter is attentive, caring, polite, professional knowledgable about the hotel. We stayed in the Marryat Suite for the weekend, and this suite is a must if you can stretch your budget to something more special (all the rooms have wow factor). It was immaculately clean and all the little extras left for us were just so lovely. Lindsey looked after my wife and I from the moment we checked in on the Saturday; she was introduced to us by Georgia at our menu tasting afternoon a couple of weeks prior to our wedding. Lindsey is another true Chewton Glen star, she knows this hotel inside out and knows five-star service! Like Georgia, nothing was too much for us over the weekend; she helped me with the music for our ceremony with my old iPhone and made sure that my lack of technology presented no problem on the day! During our wedding breakfast, Lindsey and Adam took care of all our family guests and nobody waited for anything.

The food was beautiful, everything cooked to perfection, (and this is a family of foodies who will not hesitate to say if something wasn’t perfectly as expected!). We were socially distanced in tables of six in the Oak End Suite which we had been hesitant about initially, (pre Covid we had wanted the long table arrangement in this room) but ended up with this arrangement being absolutely positive on the aesthetics of the day and everyone felt safe yet close enough to enjoy conversations etc. When we checked out on the Monday, the whole weekend had left us with memories we just couldn’t believe we’d made here, and it ended up being quite emotional leaving. We only live down the road from the hotel, (luckily) but we will absolutely be returning again and again as there is so much to enjoy and be wowed at here. Five star everything! Thank you xx

We had a 2 night stay in an incredible Hideaway Treehouse back in June/July, for our intimate elopement wedding ceremony, which was held in the treehouse itself. This was our first time at Chewton Glen, and it exceeded all of our expectations – the treehouse was truly amazing, and it was so great that they offered the ‘Just the Two of Us’ wedding package as it was just perfect for us. The hot tub on the terrace was an added luxury and was very secluded, and the bed was so comfortable too with the most amazing bathroom and bath tub looking out onto the trees. Georgia, the Wedding and Sales Coordinator was just amazing from our very first contact, right through until she was one of our witnesses for the ceremony; she could not do enough for us and was super helpful and friendly throughout and made our stay, and the wedding day completely what we wanted, and more; Both her and Adam the Concierge Manager (our second witness) were both so lovely and made us feel very relaxed – whilst also providing delicious cocktails on the terrace afterwards!

All of the staff were so welcoming and made our stay really special; thank you to… Joel and Ed (The Treehouse Concierge) who were so welcoming. The housekeeping teams were always so lovely each time we saw them. Alice who looked after us at James’ Martin’s The Kitchen and Lewis who took care of us throughout our wedding day meal in our treehouse – thank you all! Our breakfast hamper delivery was made very discreetly through a hatch directly into the treehouse kitchenette, and was so varied and had all you could need, and much more. Perfect set up if you just want complete privacy. My (now) husband made use of the 9 hole golf course and I used the spa – both of which are lovely to have included within the hotel and its grounds. Our small dog also joined us for the occasion, and it was amazing to be able to stay in such a spectacular treehouse and have it be dog friendly – he was provided with a lovely dog bed, dog toy, bowls and bottled water too!

The grounds were great to be able to walk around, with or without a dog. Dogs are not allowed in the main hotel which is of course understandable, and luckily for us this worked well as we could make use of the beautiful terrace and rose garden as they are allowed to join you there and soak up the lovely weather. We would definitely love to return to celebrate once more at Chewton Glen, and hopefully experience one of the amazing treehouses again and see some of the lovely staff we met first time around. Thank you all for such a wonderful stay and providing us with memories of our special day that we will treasure forever!

Georgia is an amazing wedding planner and was super supportive through all the uncertain times – guiding us through making our day special without being overwhelmed with the new circumstances. We moved the wedding to September. It was amazing! The staff at Chewton Glen were on hand for everything For the day itself – especially Georgia, Adam and Lynsey! The following days after the wedding we spent in the hotel’s suite that included a hot tub! This was amazing – and we were looked after again by Lynsey with afternoon tea in our room! We were even able to rent a few DVDs to chill and watch. An amazing few days celebrating the start of our marriage. We can’t wait to celebrate our anniversary with you next year and every year to come!

I cannot praise Georgia and her colleagues at the CG highly enough. We held our wedding there in the walled garden in June 2022, and it was just perfect. The team coordinated every detail, allowing us to enjoy the day free from worry. Upon our return to our bridal suite at the end, we were greeted with champagne on ice, a table of lovely gifts, signed book and rose petals. It’s little touches like this that make the difference. Nothing was too much trouble for Georgia, and I just say the biggest thank you for creating those memories for us. It was such stuff as dreams are made on.

Every single part of our wedding weekend was absolutely perfect from beginning to end, but having Georgia as our wedding planner the outcome of that came as little surprise. From the very first moment we met her to writing this now, she was utterly amazing. Georgia’s professional manner is impeccable and yet it is delivered with genuine warmth and care and blends these three things in an understated way. I wanted everyone to know, so she also could make sure to appreciate just how good she is! All of her colleagues from the doorman to the bar staff to the reception team emulate the high standards.
