Having enjoyed a wonderful stay at the friendly Hotel du Vin in Winchester for our anniversary, my husband and I decided to go home via the New Forest for a walk, and having heard good things about Lime Wood from relatives who stay regularly, we decided to pop in for a glass of wine and coffee and see for ourselves....

Just had our third stay at Lime Wood. Could sense a shift in approach since our last visit a year ago although several casual enquiries about recent changes were met with blank but polite stares from staff. The hotel is still beautiful and the room was lovely (Coach House). But the little personal touches seem to have faded - not... More

I have stayed at lime wood twice over the past 18 months and it really is delightful. Good spa facilities (although indoor pool needed upgrade), plus two great restaurants ( new one added since we were there last). The staff are really attentive, the bedrooms to whichever spec you choose and the decor in the public rooms is really special/... More

We stayed for 2 nights in 2 Forest suite rooms in the main hotel (rooms 8 and 9). Room rate was £495 per room per night so clearly not cheap. The rooms were duplex ie bedroom upstairs.

From the time we were arrived at the hotel reception and were shown through to the... More

We were just passing by this hotel and as i had already heard of it we popped in for a bite to eat and see if they had any rooms available which gladly they did. Stayed the one night in a forest suite with our 9 year old sleeping on a z bed in living area while we lorded it... More

I had the opportunity to eat at the lime tree one evening (fortunately someone else was picking up the tab). In the evening the hotel has a homely, but luxurious feel. The staff were polite and attentive and had the knack of making one feel welcome without pretention. The food was interesting 'small portions packed with flavour' and the wine... More
