Really nice place to stay in an excellent location.
Pros:

Lovely staff, comfortable and spacious room. Excellent breakfast made with ingredients of obvious quality. Location was ideal for exploring Lymington. Large beer garden was a nice place to enjoy a quiet drink.

Cons:

Our stay was during a heatwave so the room was hot. Windows only appeared to open a few inches and although a fan was included it could only mitigate slightly. If we had stayed in ‘normal’ conditions I’m sure the quality of the bed and bedding would have provided a perfect environment for sleep. So this is more of an observation than a criticism.

Would recommend just not in a heatwave! 🥵
Pros:

Well decorated rooms, ideal location to harbour and station. Breakfast was really good. Staff all friendly and helpful.

Cons:

Unfortunately our stay was impacted by the heat. No air con or airflow. I would question whether they should still be letting guests stay in those temperatures as we just didn’t sleep. Coffee machine also not working.

Hot but pleasant.
Pros:

Amazing Breakfast, comfortable bed, authentic. Mega creaky floors!

Cons:

In the heat is was hot - there was a fan but they had placed it on a shelf and it rattled. The blackout blind was broken (i fixed it) and the shower didn’t drain quick enough for the water flow.

Great stay in a lovely room
Pros:

Room was really great. Decorated beautifully, very spacious and bed was very comfortable. Breakfast and early day time staff were so helpful and friendly and made a huge effort to get anything you wanted.

Cons:

Evening staff not as helpful and friendly, a few came across like they would rather not have been there. Also, really didn't impact on out stay but a mini fridge wouod have made the room perfection.
