Lime Wood – Lyndhurst, Hampshire

2 years ago
It’s all about attention to detail at this sumptuous New Forest hideaway, which has been refurbished over the last two years by renowned interior designer Susie Atkinson. Oak doors are thick, paint finishes fresh and floor lights switch on as you walk into the bathroom from your quietly opulent, individually decorated bedroom (there are 33, in the main house and throughout the grounds). In the sybaritic Herb House Spa, you can do yoga on the rooftop herb garden, have bespoke treatments from brands such as Bamford and Ground Wellbeing, take in forest views from the sauna and eat nourishing food in Raw & Cured (look out for the newly launched Re-Wilding Retreats too). Lime Wood is also home to Hartnett Holder & Co, the brilliant restaurant partnership between Angela Hartnett and Luke Holder which celebrates its ten year anniversary in 2023. Italian-influenced dishes are served in gorgeous, laid-back surroundings. The glamour is there, but the stiffness of formal dining has been swept away. It’s how we want to live today, and Lime Wood perfectly captures the laid-back luxury mood.
