As the New Forest stretches into spring - fresh green leaves emerging, birdsong fills the air, and daffodils brighten the gardens. The perfect time to pack your walking boots and head through the forest gate, where trails wind through ancient woodland, bluebells are beginning to bloom, and the wild garlic shoots are emerging.
Stride out over open heathland to discover quiet forest villages and see the iconic free-roaming New Forest ponies grazing in the sunshine. Spring is truly here and new life beckons, we hope to share it with you very soon.
Supper & Snooze is a stay designed around the simple pleasures of Lime Wood - good food, deep relaxation, and the quiet beauty of the New Forest just beyond the garden gates.

At Hartnett Holder & Co, Angela Hartnett and Luke Holder's much-loved Italian-inspired dishes are served in a relaxed, lively setting where locals, guests and forest wanderers gather around the table.
Think handmade pasta, seasonal ingredients, good wine and the easy hum of conversation that lingers long after the plates are cleared.
After a morning wander in the forest, there are few nicer ways to spend the afternoon than settling in for tea.
At Lime Wood, afternoon tea is a relaxed affair - delicate pastries, warm scones, and freshly brewed tea served in a setting that feels entirely unhurried.
It’s the sort of ritual that turns a simple afternoon into something rather special.
Tucked within the treetops, our award-winning Herb House Spa is a place designed for switching off.
Spend the day moving between the outdoor pool, thermal rooms and quiet relaxation spaces, with views stretching out across the New Forest.
Whether paired with lunch, treatments, or simply time to pause, a spa day at Lime Wood is the ultimate spring reset.
With the forest waking around us and longer days ahead, there’s no better moment to slip away to Lime Wood.
Supper & Snooze brings together everything that makes a stay here so special - wonderful food, deep relaxation, and the quiet magic of the New Forest in spring.
