It’s all about attention to detail at this sumptuous New Forest hideaway. Oak doors are thick, paint finishes fresh and floor lights switch on as you walk into the bathroom from your quietly opulent, individually decorated bedroom (there are 33, in the main house and throughout the grounds).

In the Herb House Spa, just-added Ayurvedic treatments sit alongside bespoke therapies from brands such as Bamford and Ground Wellbeing. Enjoy yoga on the rooftop herb garden, take in forest views from the sauna and eat nourishing food in Raw & Cured. Inspired by nature, there’s ‘Re-root at Lime Wood’, a series of retreats, events and workshops, or head out with their new resident forager for a guided forest walk, including delicious foraged feasting.

Lime Wood is also home to Hartnett Holder & Co, the brilliant restaurant partnership between Angela Hartnett and Luke Holder which serves Italian-inuenced dishes in gorgeous surroundings. The glamour is there, but the stiffness of formal dining has been swept away. It’s how we want to live today, and Lime Wood perfectly captures the laid-back luxury mood.

Competition closes on 19 February 2026.
