Why consider Herb House?
Lime Wood’s official spa information currently describes a 16-metre ozone lap pool, hydro pool, outdoor hot pool, sauna, treatment rooms, a mud house and gym. Its forest setting makes it particularly relevant when fresh air, slower pacing and good food matter as much as the treatment list.
For a nature-led spa break, leave space in the itinerary for the forest rather than treating it as scenery.
Check access before booking
Lime Wood’s official frequently asked questions state that booking a treatment alone does not include access to the spa facilities. Hotel residents’ access is subject to current times, while spa-day packages carry their own inclusions. Confirm the exact route that fits the visit you want.
Plan the visit well
- Confirm pool and thermal access for the precise hotel rate, spa day or treatment booking.
- Ask about current resident access times and any age restrictions.
- Check step-free routes, changing facilities and pool entry directly if accessibility is important.
- Discuss pregnancy, health considerations, allergies, injuries or recent procedures before treatments or thermal experiences.
Before you book: Check current facilities, resident access times and package inclusions on Lime Wood’s Herb House and frequently asked questions pages.
