The Hartnet holder and Company restaurant and the limewood hotel property overall are possibly the…read moremost beautiful place We dined in an 11 day trip to the UK. The property is bucolic and only 20 minutes from Southampton in gorgeous rolling countryside and forest. There were horses grazing in the fields. Four of us arrived for an early dinner and the chance to have a drink and tour the grounds. To be honest, we were underdressed, but they treated us like visiting dignitaries showing us around, checking our car and codes offering us boots if we wanted to walk in the rainy woods and allowing us to occupy a table at the bar for two charming hours of drinks and tea. The place is exquisite. The only fault it would have as a wedding venue would be the arguments about which spot is the prettiest to take the pictures. And then there's the restaurant, headed by chefs, Angela Hartnett, and Lukas holder. We were familiar with Angela from her television Chef career. The experience did not disappoint. The pasta courses were among the best we've ever had with sixty month aged Parmesan on creamier risotto, beautiful tagliatelle with lamb and Morels on gnocchi. The complementary Arancini came in three flavors and we each each other a favorite. The duck was delicious and the braised lamb was done beautifully. We shared the Pavlova with strawberries and whipped cream, and it was a nice light and to a really exquisite meal. I would highly recommend this place for lunch or dinner or if you really want to indulge a spa weekend rooms treatments, food, and all. My review would not be complete without mentioning Frank, who was so welcoming when he greeted us and handled the car and coats and earnestly showed us around the grounds, and Finn are wonderful, handsome young waiter, who was very professional and still friendly and charming. Thank you to both of them.

Limewood offers a beautiful escape if you are anywhere in the Southwest of England. My favourite…read morething that limewood offers is its beautiful internal decor and external grounds. Once you walk in you will be impressed with their gorgeous fresh floral arrangements, the roaring fires, the detailed wallpaper, the plush furniture and the well curated artwork. I've never been lucky enough to spend the night but I can comment on their food in the restaurant. This past week I had their Easter set menu. I started off with their goat cheese plate. It was a beautiful soft cheese with fresh capers and other vegetables with pesto drizzled over it. It was beautifully presented and tasted light and delicious. It was one of those starters that gets you excited for the next course. For my main I had rare Beef. With every roast you have roasted vegetables- the beets were perfection- and Yorkshire pudding. I loved mine and I could not stop scooping veggies onto my plate. To top it off I had the chocolate mouse which was rich and smooth. With the country atmosphere, warm interior and delicious food you know I'll be back again. Just waiting for the next opportunity to justify it.

Our room was clean and comfortable, with all the comforts you need - fluffy white towels, crisp bedlinen and even Aero hot chocolate sachets awaiting us on the tea tray! Heather House has the most beautiful windows on both levels of the staircase and we loved the really homely feel; we were especially drawn to their garden where we rested our weary feet in the late afternoon sunshine! We also liked the idea of placing your cooked breakfast order by mid-evening on the breakfast slips - which we duly did! Up and about early in the morning, we went for a walk before breakfast and walked back into Heather House to a gorgeous aroma of home-cooked breakfast. We loved the locally-sourced sausages, the cooked breakfast was done to perfection and we also enjoyed the wide range of cereals and fruit they also left out for us. All in all, a delightful stay and we will certainly stay there again when we next visit the New Forest for longer than a day trip, as Heather House is perfectly located for exploring the area.

Very pleasant receptionist who went through the formalities quickly. The room was very large with plenty of room to swing two or three cats in LOL. Really comfy bed and plenty of storage space large writing desk, flat screen TV (gave us the opportunity of seeing Andy Murray winning Wimbledon), fan and a nice bathroom with shower (great water pressure). Very very clean throughout. The room was on the main road but we didn't hear traffic because of the really good double glazing. Next door is a Little Chef, helpful for a breakfast.

Considering the TravelLodge is next to the main road, it has good double glazing that keeps out the noise of the passing cars. As for the room, much the same as the other TravelLodges that I have visited in the past. Clean, dry, warm, usual colour schemes. En-suite clean and looks quite new. Top marks.

Nice secluded away from traffic, can admire the New Forest and just relax in its Lounge, bar or the restaurant. We stayed just for one night and were seriously tempted to stay back few more days. The breakfast is great and also have option for ordering other stuff from the menu of you do not like the buffet spread. The staff are very friendly and eager to help. The rooms are spacious, we dot a quad room which had a nice bunk bed for the kids, the swimming pool looked nice but we didn't have time to get in and the parking adequate so nothing to complain. We got a two days park tickets and one nights stay for £260 (family of 4) so it was a brilliant deal for the bank holiday weekend. We plan to head back for a longer vacation in near future and enjoy all the sights of New Forest. Highly recommended!
