Lime Wood has a stunning setting and lovely decor, but the service didn't quite match the expectations for such a high-end establishment. While I enjoyed the comfortable and spacious accommodations, the staff seemed inexperienced and the service was often erratic. Overall, it's a beautiful venue that has potential but needs improvements in service quality to justify its high prices.

My stay at Lime Wood was delightful overall. The spa was a tranquil escape, and the room was one of the best I've ever experienced, truly luxurious. However, the limited dinner menu left me wanting more choices, and some aspects of the dining experience were a bit off due to noise levels from children.
