Set in the heart of the stunning New Forest National Park, we like to think Lime Wood is laid-back luxury at its best - the perfect secluded hideaway escape! 1.5 miles from the small town of Lyndhurst and just an hour and a half drive from London!
Lime Wood was five exciting years in the making and 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 and more recently Martin Brudnizki and Rob Angell.
Chefs Angela Hartnett and Luke Holder do the cooking, pulling together both of their much admired signature styles, to create Hartnett Holder & Co, our relaxed Italian restaurant. At the Herb House Spa you can do yoga on the roof in a herb garden, revive together in double treatment rooms and take in the forest views from the massive sauna.
The ultimate countryside getaway; perfect for weekend breaks, a dash from the city, or an escape from home.

SMOKE HOUSE
As you approach Lime Wood you may notice a small brick house tucked under the brow of a hill. This is our Smoke House.
Our head chef Luke holder and his team of chefs are all regular visitors to the Smoke House. After having left their kilo of salmon to cure for 10 days, Luke and his team carry it down to start the smoking process. Placed in the large BBQ like oven, the hot dry air begins to smoke it; the flavours begin to mature, resulting in exquisite tasting Salmon.
Just a little taste of what we produce:
Smoked Salmon
Dry cured ham (Parma ham style)
Pancetta
Chorizo
Salami
Bresaola
Coppa
Lavender cured Loin of Pork
The Smoke House is a big part of what we do here at Lime Wood and HH&Co, we've been experimenting with recipes over the years and throughout the seasons, our Smoke House produce will always feature on the menu at HH&Co.
