The best luxury honeymoon hotels in the UK

One of the dreamiest regions of England, Hampshire edges both the beautiful south coast and the enchanting New Forest, and undoubtedly makes the most of its enviable location.

Chewton Glen Hotel & Spa is an award-winning country house hotel that offers couples peace, tranquillity, and utterly luxurious accommodation with a range of excellent things to see and do, on and off-site.

The cosy and highly romantic Treehouse Hideaway Suites offer more privacy than rooms and suites elsewhere in the hotel. Built on stilts in the canopy high above the grounds, they feature outdoor hot tubs, wood-burning stoves, and floor-to-ceiling windows, plus a daily breakfast hamper delivered to your door.

When it comes to culinary art, the hotel focuses primarily on locally sourced, fresh produce and ingredients, of which most is found in their delightful Kitchen Garden. Check out the James Martin-created cookery classes, which are a fun and different way to experience and enjoy food together too!
