Exactly what we wanted and so close to Lymington
Pros:

Exactly what we wanted; clean, airy, comfortable. Our room had mini fridge and great tea & coffee, we booked king room which had lovely big bed and was very spacious.
We were meeting friends on their boat everyday so didn’t eat there, but the reception staff were v hospitable and helpful, the car charging was a bonus.
Although it says 3 star, it was exactly what we needed, they had even opened the window and put a fan on in our room ahead of arrival, which in the July heat was a godsend.
Thank you to this little gem, we will be back

Cons:

Clean and welcoming
