A Country House in the New Forest

In the heart of the New Forest, Lime Wood is a country house hotel of 33 individually designed rooms, with Italian-inspired dining by Angela Hartnett, a natural-wellbeing spa and forest-immersed grounds.

Relaxed forest luxury with standout food

Lime Wood sits in the heart of the New Forest National Park near Lyndhurst in Hampshire, about an hour and a half from London and 20 minutes from the coast. It has 33 individually designed bedrooms, from rooms and forest suites and lofts to lodges, cottages and cabins and the far-side Lake Cabin.

Dining is a strength, led by Hartnett Holder & Co, the seasonal, Italian-inspired restaurant from Angela Hartnett and Luke Holder, with the Raw & Cured food bar in the spa, afternoon tea and chef’s-table experiences in the backstage kitchen. The Herb House Spa is dedicated to natural wellbeing across three levels, with holistic and Ayurvedic treatments, a hydro pool, a roof garden for yoga and fitness facilities. Forest walks, a Re-Root series of nature and wellbeing events and dog-friendly, family stays round out the offer, with weddings and exclusive use. Independent, it suits couples and families who want a relaxed, design-led forest retreat with strong Italian dining and a destination spa.
