Lime Wood Hotel in New Forest

Afternoon Tea, scrumptious as always and service excellent. Mo friendly, attentive and nothing too much trouble . Would thoroughly recommend 🧁

Went here for a celebration lunch in the main restaurant on Saturday. The decor was lovely cosy and inviting. The staff really elevate the experience , warm and welcoming and nothing was to much trouble. We had really good food, Gluten free options were clearly explained and I could choose something from the lounge menu too as the starters mainly contained gluten. Wine non alcoholic and alcoholic was very good too. The only thing that was a negative was the £4 charge for tap water!!!! I could forgive the gin and tonic £20 but being charged for tap water when you are paying 12.5% service charge anyway was really terrible. Also the choice for gluten free puddings was, ice cream or sorbet which for such a skilled kitchen lacked imagination so I skipped that even though I would normally have had one. Generally a good time and delicious food but bring your own water bottle !!!

We stayed at Lime Wood for my husband's 50th birthday. Everything was perfect - food, facilities, rooms, and particularly the staff. Thanks so much to everyone at Lime Wood for making it such a lovely weekend.

Always outstanding. Understated elegance with unrivalled service. A special place

Was treated for my birthday (I know - very very lucky) and now this is my new favourite place. The building and grounds are stunning, the staff were faultless and the food was amazing. Oh, yes, and so were the cocktails - almost forgot about those - possibly because I had too many 🥴. Sadly I’ve forgotten the names but a big shout out to our waiter (South African) and our sommelier (youngish lad) - both were so friendly, knowledgeable and engaging - thank you both so much. Was great to talk to a passionate sommelier who didn’t come across as patronising despite my lack of knowledge. After lunch we spent a while in the side rooms on a comfy sofa in front of a roaring log fire. I cannot rate this place highly enough. We didn’t stay but the rooms looked lovely. It is pricey, best get someone else to pay, but well worth it for a treat.

An incredible experience from start to finish at the Limewood Hotel! The staff were absolutely fantastic – attentive, friendly, and truly made us feel welcome. The facilities were top-notch, with everything you could need to relax and unwind. The atmosphere was perfect, creating an idyllic escape that we’ll definitely be back for. Couldn’t recommend it more highly – if you’re looking for a memorable stay, Limewood is the place!

Lovely spa with nice attached cafe

We absolutely loved our one night stay at Lime Wood, celebrating my wife's 40th Birthday! We had very high expectations but they were exceeded! The staff couldn't be more friendly and helpful, including the lady who checked us in and the fantastic sommelier in training. The spa was very relaxing and varied enough not to get bored. The best part was the quality of the food. The breakfast is up there with the best we've had at hotels, and the restaurant was absolutely superb, one of our favourite meals of this year. We can't wait to return!

Went for Afternoon Tea in this hotel. Beautiful location, as you would expect in the New Forest. From the moment we arrived the service was excellent, the afternoon tea, very nice indeed, tasty it was. All the staff, attention to detail was very evident. Would highly recommend and we will be returning for more of the same ! 10 / 10

Superb as always. Food was excellent. Service I could not fault. Wade was very helpful.

We had a fantastic Afternoon Tea here today as a wedding gift. Greeted promptly, and so friendly, shown to our choice of table. Talked through all the different options... nothing was too much trouble. Fabulous staff, beautiful surroundings, and grounds. Couldn't fault it and would highly recommend. 😊

We had lunch here for a Birthday treat. The food was perfection and the staff were amazing we had James looking after us he made it extra special for us. Cannot recommend this place enough. Thank you.

My husband and I stayed at Lime Wood Hotel for 3 nights to celebrate our 10th Wedding Anniversary and we were not disappointed. The setting is romantic with woodland walks and lovely grounds to wander. We received a warm welcome and had a wonderful time, I couldn’t fault a thing. The room, staff, food and spa facilities are all excellent. We went for a dinner bed and breakfast package and that worked well for us, we really enjoyed dining in the restaurant and there was enough variety for 3 nights. My husband had the lobster bisque on 2 nights because it was so delicious! A great choice of cocktails and wine, also excellent wine recommendations. Our room was beautiful - if you need a strong hairdryer I would take your own but that’s the only remotely negative comment I could make. Breakfast was epic, if you go for the full English ask for a homemade hash brown too! We had the best massages we’ve ever had at Herb House. I can highly recommend the Bramford experience and Abhyanga Treatment. From start to finish, Lime Wood Hotel are a class act. We can’t wait to stay again!

Fantastic service, 5 stars all around, food in restaurants was outstanding. We stayed in the Lake Cabin, which is a splurge, but worth every pound spent!

Fabulous!!!! Afternoon tea for my daughter's 22 birthday. Well be returning for lunch soon. Impeccable service, fantastic food in beautiful surroundings. Recommend

I stopped at Lime Wood Hotel for a quick unpretentious lunch and was very impressed - this place is the true definition of luxury. The service was impeccable- everyone was so kind and thoughtful. Very professional - they know what they are doing. Food was absolutely amazing! Best focaccia I have ever had in my life and fantastic wine (including non-alcoholic) selection. I would recommend this place to anyone and I cannot wait to book one of their rooms for a weekend. A true 5 stars experience !

Specious room does not disappoint

Another great lunch there we must visit more often. Fin our server was excellent, food and wine superb the gardens are beautiful a very relaxing way to spend a Friday afternoon.

My husband and I stayed for the second time earlier this year and yet again Limewood didn’t fail to deliver. What a fantastic hotel, with exceptional staff, food, drinks and surroundings. The Angela Hartnett restaurant was superb with a wonderful atmosphere. We will 100% be returning.

Very pleasant lunch and local walk. Food very pleasant.

My friend and I went for lunch,amazing atmosphere,staff were all excellent food to die for

We had afternoon tea and it was simply divine. The best afternoon tea I've ever had - the sandwiches were refillable at no extra cost!!!!! The views are lovely - great place for a little wonder. Staff were great - very on it. Highly recommend.

We visited for afternoon tea which we had in a lounge. It was a little uncomfortable sitting on the sofa and quite difficult to hear. It would have been nice to have been given a choice where to sit. The hotel and grounds were beautiful. The service was very good. The food included was delicious. It was really nice that they boxed up the leftovers and included an additional piece of cake.

Amazing staff, very helpful and polite. The afternoon tea was to die for, and for the larger eater you can top up with extra sandwiches, continuous coffee and tea refills.

What an amazing experience ! Unforgettable. I surprised my husband for his 60th birthday yesterday with afternoon tea, dinner, bed and breakfast. The staff from all departments were exceptional. They were all involved in the surprise and were so professional, friendly, discreet and so much more. The hotel is stunning, no stone is left unturned when it comes to attention to detail and customer service. The food is on another level, absolutely out of this world. I am not sure any hotel will match the experience we had at Limewood. Thank you so very much

We enjoyed a wonderful high tea after a drink at the bar. The service was great and the grounds are very scenic.

Hermoso lugar hermosos habilitaciones

Nice place to spend holidays..👌

Superb country hotel. Exceptional service. Friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Birthday and Anniversary dinner in their (Angela) Hartnett Holder & Co restaurant. Very good service and attention and food was very good. The menu is orientated to an Italian style and we do struggle with menu’s that don’t describe (in plain English) what you’re ordering and you have to ask the waiting team. All in all a very nice evening.
