Chewton Glen Hotel - an Iconic Luxury Hotel

如果你需要一個英倫鄉村低調奢華度假莊園，Chewton Glen 就是最佳選擇了！酒店位於英格蘭南邊鄉村靠海，靠近南安普頓。面積超大，完整走一圈需要45分鐘，大片大片的草坪花園和森林，喜歡自然的小夥伴一定會喜歡。主樓是一個古樸三層建築羣，從公共區域到房間都是濃濃的英國紳士風格。來住的客人感覺基本都是退休的且有錢的英國的中老年夫婦，還有就是帶着孩子的家庭。住的人不會太多，感覺服務人和客人比可以達到 1:1 ，所以感覺非常私密。酒店的兩個餐廳應該是我在英國旅遊吃過的最好的餐廳了，每一道菜都非常贊，因為都是米其林廚師打造。我們去的那兩天正好趕上一位在英國美食節目上知名的米其林廚師來做晚宴專場，也算讓我們有了一次西式大餐體驗！酒店除了有專門的室內室外泳池和 SPA， 還有非常專業的高爾夫球場，足球場、室內室外網球場、和板球場！從酒店走20分鐘就可以到達到海邊，風景秀麗！酒店的服務人員非常熱情周到，濃濃的英式管家風範。價格雖然有些貴，但體驗非常超預期！

Treated to a 2 night stay for my birthday, and we had the best time. Arrived at 1pm, had a light lunch in The Pool Bar, and was able to get into our suite at 2pm which was a nice touch. Beautiful room, lovely little touches and very clean. I didn’t want to leave the room! Used the spa pools and had a fabulous massage in the afternoon - a lovely way to unwind. Superb meal in The Dining Room, very attentive staff, excellent sommelier helped us choose a nice Italian red to go with our T Bone which was cooked to perfection. No complaints at all. Breakfast was plentiful, no request too big! Enjoyed both the continental and the cooked.We grabbed an estate map and enjoyed an albeit windy walk around the grounds and down to the beach to walk it all off! We decided to try The Kitchen for Saturdays meal, loved the buggy ride to the restaurant, again a nice touch even though it’s a pleasant walk along the drive. Unfortunately I became unwell during the meal and had to leave quite quickly without eating my main meal. So I guess we’ll have to return another day! I must thank the staff for their help during this unfortunate situation, they were very kind. Luckily I was okay Sunday morning to enjoy the par 3 golf course - a tricky little course but we had it to ourselves so could take our time which was needed as we’re a bit rusty! All in all we had the best time here at Chewton Glen and hope that we can return again soon, even if it’s only to visit The Kitchen.

From the moment we drove up to the moment we left this was a 5* experience. We couldn’t go to our usual place so booked Chewton instead and so pleased we did. Everything was exceptional and everyone couldn’t do more for us. The valet was brilliant both when we arrived and left, putting our bags in the car and sourcing items like bikes, beach equipment and more. Reception really looked after my friend who needed help storing breast milk. This made a potential stressful situation easy and relaxed. Cocktails were exquisite and we tried many. Room was fantastic. Exceeded expectations and we had completely snacks and bottle of champagne. The terrace was sunny and comfy. Pool service and wait staff were always on hand and couldn’t have done more. Dinner was exceptional. We had the T-bone steak. The wine with dinner wasn’t great to be fair. That was probably the worst thing along side coffee taking a really really really long time at breakfast. At breakfast the Bloody Mary was bloody outstanding! The barman had been juicing tomatoes the night before. We used the spa facilities and the pool. Walked round the estate. Had lunch. Cannot recommend this place as a wonderful night away enough.
