Chewton Glen Hotel & Spa is just a two-hour drive from London, 90 minutes from Heathrow and 35 minutes from Southampton docks. Over the past five decades, it’s evolved from a country house into a small resort with a world-class spa and leisure facilities. The hotel has 14 Treehouse Suites and a kitchen garden that supplies much of what is served in the dining room. You can learn to cook in the hotel’s cookery school in association with the famous chef James Martin. The New Forest National Park and nearby Solent Coast provide a magical backdrop and an ideal location for pre and post cruise stays.
