What to expect

The House

Our 33 bedroom house was five exciting years in the making.

The results are a rich collaboration of creative talent at its best. The architectural parts were designed by Charles Morris and Ben Pentreath, interiors have been added by David Collins, Martin Brudnizki and Rob Angell and, more recently, Judy Huston.

From rooms tucked up in the eaves of our main house, to the Lake Cabin, nestled at the end of a winding private pathway, Lime Wood is a home-from-home and the perfect chilling retreat.

Bells & Whistles

While each of our 33 bedrooms are unique, each has:

- Cosy king-sized bed
- Complimentary Wi-Fi
- A well-stocked in-room pantry
- Spacious bathroom
- Satellite TV
- Speaker with AUX and Bluetooth
- DVD player
- Personal safe

There are 16 bedrooms in the main house, five in the Coach House, five in the Crescent, Pavilion Lodge 1, 2 and 3, two cottages, Forest Cabin and our newest addition, Lake Cabin. Read more about our rooms here.

Smoked & Uncut

Food & Music Festivals

Make the most of a sunshine-soaked Saturday in the fields surrounding Lime Wood in the New Forest; this is an open air party for everyone! Grab your party pals, dig into some seriously good field food, sip on something chilled and dance the day away.

Classic festi-food is order of the day across the festival, but if you fancy tucking into something a little heartier why not try feasting with Angela in the restaurant or booking a table at “The Apprentice” Tent?

Make the most of the festival vibes and spectacular surroundings and sleep under the stars in your very own bell-tent. Cosy up in the glamping village, tuck into Chef Angela Hartnett’s 3 course Italian-inspired field supper, and dance like no one is watching to good old fashioned rock and roll!

Earth Wind & Fire Experience Featuring Al Mckay are headlining Lime Wood on 23rd July 2022
