Private Chefs & Gourmet Dining at Hedgerows
Restaurant-quality Dining, Without Leaving Your Kitchen
An Exceptional Dining Experience, In-House
Why head out to a restaurant when you can enjoy restaurant-quality dining in the comfort of your own kitchen? At Hedgerows, we partner with exceptional private chefs across Hampshire, Dorset, and the New Forest who can transform your stay into an unforgettable culinary experience. Whether you’re imagining a seven-course tasting menu, a relaxed family feast, or a celebratory brunch created just for your group, a private chef allows you to savour every moment. They source the finest local ingredients, cook and serve each course, and leave the kitchen spotless – so you can simply sit back with a glass of wine and enjoy being a guest at your own dinner party.

The Private Chef
Another wonderful option is Sophie, a talented private chef celebrated for her vibrant, Mediterranean-inspired dishes made with organic, seasonal ingredients. Sophie creates menus that are colourful, generous, and full of flavour — whether it’s a sunshine-filled sharing table, a refined multi-course dinner, or relaxed alfresco dining in the garden.
Guests consistently praise her warm hosting style, beautiful presentation, and ability to tailor dishes to any dietary preferences. Sophie brings everything she needs, cooks freshly on site, serves each course with care, and leaves your kitchen spotless afterwards.

In-House Spa & Wellness
Turn Hedgerows into your personal spa retreat with our range of in-home wellness services.
Indulge in At-Home Serenity
We partner with certified mobile therapists who can provide massages, beauty treatments, yoga sessions and more on site. For example, we have an arrangement with Lyndsey, a highly trained massage therapist who offers pamper and rejuvenation packages in-house, delivering a truly unforgettable relaxing experience. We’ll transform one of the ground-floor rooms into a serene treatment space – soft music, aromatherapy candles (locally made, of course), and a heated massage table. Sarah (or another therapist, depending on availability) can do Swedish or deep tissue massage, hot stone therapy, revitalising facials, manicures/pedicures, and even couple’s massages. All you need to do is slip on the robe and slippers provided and let the relaxation come to you.
Lyndsey, the founder of Juniper Wellness, is one of our most requested practitioners – and with good reason. Her journey into wellness began after an early career in performing arts, where years of dance training gave her a deep understanding of movement, anatomy, and physical wellbeing. Following several knee operations that ended her professional dance path, she discovered her true calling: helping others feel better in their bodies. Lyndsey trained in Swedish and Hot Stone Massage in 2010 and went on to spend nearly a decade as a spa therapist, later becoming a Senior Therapist thanks to her exceptional skill and calming presence. Over the years she has broadened her specialisms to include bamboo massage, pregnancy massage, and seated chair massage, making her an incredibly versatile therapist able to tailor each treatment to exactly what your body needs.
Today, Lyndsey blends hands-on therapy with holistic health coaching. As a qualified Health and Wellness Consultant, she doesn’t just treat tension – she helps guests reconnect with their overall wellbeing, offering gentle guidance on balance, stress management, and self-care. Whether you’re booking a deeply restorative hot stone session, a pampering spa party, or simply craving a nurturing moment during your stay, Lyndsey brings her signature warmth and professionalism to every visit. Her treatments are ideal for solo guests, couples, or groups, and she is available for home treatments, events, and bespoke wellness experiences designed exclusively for Hedgerows retreats.
In addition to massage and beauty, we can arrange private fitness or mindfulness sessions. Fancy a morning yoga or Pilates class on the lawn? We know wonderful instructors who will bring mats and props for a gentle stretch amidst nature. Interested in trying meditation or forest bathing? We can book a guided session under the trees to centre your mind. Some guests also request a personal trainer for a group boot-camp or a guided trail run – we can do that too, leveraging the New Forest’s natural “gym”. And after any workout, how about a soak in the hot tub followed by a professionally delivered foot reflexology treatment? That’s vacation bliss!
Every wellness service is customisable. We offer packages, like a “Hedgerows Spa Afternoon” where several practitioners come together: perhaps start with yoga, then rotate through mini facials and massages for each member of your group while others sip herbal tea on the patio. It’s perfect for bridal parties, mother-daughter weekends, or anyone needing some TLC. For the gentlemen, fear not – these services are for you too! A sports massage or a de-stressing aromatherapy session can be the highlight of a golfing trip recovery day.
Practical notes
- Please book in-house chefs and therapists as early as possible – ideally when reserving your accommodation or at least a few weeks in advance – to secure availability. We are happy to provide sample menus, therapist profiles, and pricing upon request.
Additional Touches
Pre-order a food shop
- For delivery from the day of your arrival (in addition to the complementary items): Our friendly team will put your shop away for you, if it arrives before you. Order from Ocado, Waitrose, Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Morrisons or Amazon – they all deliver to Hedgerows!
Wine or Whisky Tasting Night
- Let the bar come to you. We can bring in a local sommelier or spirits expert for a private tasting event at Hedgerows. Sample English sparkling wines, or a flight of single malts, or a curated gin tasting featuring small Hampshire and Dorset distillers. It’s an educational and enjoyable evening activity without having to drive anywhere.
Childcare & Petcare

Classic Car Hire in the New Forest & Dorset
Make an Entrance
If you’re dreaming of making a truly memorable entrance, the New Forest and Dorset offer several wonderful options for classic car hire — perfect for special occasions, anniversaries, or simply enjoying the open countryside in vintage style. Imagine gliding down leafy lanes in a soft-top Jaguar E-Type, cruising along the coast in a 1960s convertible Mustang, or exploring historic villages from behind the wheel of a perfectly restored MGB Roadster. Several local companies specialise in beautifully maintained classic vehicles, complete with flexible hire packages, route suggestions, and even chauffeur service if you’d prefer to sit back and take in the scenery. It’s an unforgettable way to elevate your stay and capture that timeless English-countryside glamour.
One excellent option is New Forest Classic Cars, known for their lovingly restored British icons such as Triumph Stags, Austin Healeys, and vintage Land Rovers. They offer day hires, weekend packages, and curated driving routes through the Forest and along the Jurassic Coast. For American-muscle enthusiasts, Dream Cars Dorset provides classics like Mustangs and Corvettes — ideal for birthdays, photoshoots, or making a grand entrance at a festival. And for those seeking a luxury twist, Somerley Estate occasionally partners with premium car-hire companies for heritage-themed events, offering access to elegant vintage Bentleys and Rolls-Royce models. Whatever your taste, classic car hire adds a dash of cinematic romance to your holiday and turns even a short journey into a highlight of your trip.
In essence, if you can dream it, we’ll strive to do it. Hedgerows isn’t just a place to stay; it’s an experience and we want to deliver it right to your doorstep.
