Hotel du Vin meets the English manor this week with the opening of the Lime Wood, southwest of London in Hampshire. Robin Hutson, a founder of the British boutique mini-chain Hotel du Vin, now chairman of the Lime Wood Group, has transformed the former site of a 13th-century hunting lodge in New Forest National Park into a “luxury country house hotel.”

Lime Wood has 12 rooms and 17 suites, many with fireplaces, free-standing tubs and forest-view terraces. The public spaces are straight out of Clue — The Library, The Drawing Room, The Cellar — but with a contemporary twist courtesy of designer David Collins (he’s done Gordon Ramsay restaurants and The London West Hollywood).

Lime Wood’s spa will open next summer featuring a hammam and hydrotherapy pool. In the meantime, you’ll have to find an alternative to detoxing after a decadent meal by Michelin-starred chef Alex Aitken. He reincarnates Le Poussin as The Dining Room by Alex Aitken at Lime Wood, and also runs The Scullery, a more casual eatery in a country kitchen. The menu promises wild mushrooms, local venison and other “forest food” (which evidently includes haggis).

Also softly opening today, Rockliffe Hall, located in the north of England on the border of North Yorkshire, was an 18th-century hunting estate. Now it is a 61-room hotel with an 18-hole championship golf course. Suites offer private terraces and balconies overlooking the property’s gardens. And while the hotel’s main restaurant, Kenny Atkinson at the Orangery, won’t open until February, you can find two quintessentially English ingredients used in the 50,000-square-foot spa: sweet pea and rose.
