Limewood
This beautiful hotel in the New Forest fosters a sense of calm that is almost impossible not to melt into - a calm which transcends the walls of the buildings and works itself into each of the rooms. Spend your stay poolside at the spa or take advantage of the forest and get active - horse riding, clay pigeon-shooting and hikes can easily be arranged. End your day with dinner at Limewood's exceptional restaurant, Hartnett Holder & Co, which serves up English dishes with an Italian flare.
Rooms from £315 per night
