We had a 2 night stay in an incredible Hideaway Treehouse (Chestnut) 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 and unloaded our car and transported all of our luggage to our treehouse on a buggy for us, and back again on our day of departure. 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 - cereals, pastries, fruit, yoghurt, smoked salmon and juices etc - I'm sure the hotel could also adjust these to suit any dietary requirements (I'm pescatarian, and so ours did not include any meat). 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 it's 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!
