This place oozes history! It’s one of the best places I’ve stayed! It’s a touch of heaven where guests can relax, unwind and enjoy! The location is exceptional! You are surrounded by beautiful gardens but a short walk or drive from restaurants and shops. The owners are extremely nice people who make sure you have everything you need and more. The rooms are bright, spacious and cozy. I particularly enjoyed the deep large bath! Breakfast was amazing! I will definitely be returning to LIMEFIELD HOUSE. Pure Quality !

Gorgeous setting. Really welcoming and friendly staff. Breakfast was lovely. Building is being modernised and looking a little tired in places. Had a great night sleep. Would happily stay again.

Amazing place - snuck away from suburbia, this beautiful house has the magic touch of a manager that cares - Grieg is such a lovely person and his crew all share the same passion for the finer things in life, like service and friendliness. Cannot praise this establishment enough.
