History
Much like many places in Britain, the estate at Chewton Glen has a long history. Records show that an estate called 'Chewghton' existed during the Middle Ages, and documents of a house appeared in the early 18th century. What would the owners of Chewton Glen House of 1732 make of the new House? I'm sure they will love the toasty warm outdoor pool, spa and beautifully appointed rooms with aircon – quite a different lifestyle.

The children of the forest
The Hotel has a tremendous literary link, no not Harry Potter, a book called 'The Children of the Forest', the story is of four children orphaned during the English Civil War (1642-1651). Troops pursue them, and they seek refuge in the New Forest. They receive the help of a local gipsy boy. Captain Frederick Marryat wrote this intriguing story while visiting family at Chewton Glen House; the book was published in 1847.

The War years and Hotel
During WW2, they used the area for military training; the House then had three owners before being transformed into a hotel. A guest purchased the Hotel in 2007, taking the business to a new level. The introduction of the Tree House accommodation was a stroke of brilliance. The kitchen garden produces much of the herbs and vegetables for the restaurants, and improving the spa has maintained Chewton Glen's position as one of the World's great Country House Hotels.
