Great cottage, great location!
Stayed at Sailmakers Cottage for the Lymington Seafood Festival and couldn’t have picked a better spot. Perfectly located just a short stroll from both the town centre and the event. The cottage itself is full of charm, well-equipped, and the shower is excellent - a real bonus after a long day out. Would happily return.

A lovely short stay in a pretty cottage, located in the heart of Lymington.
We came for a 2 night stay to celebrate my wife's birthday. The cottage is perfectly situated in the heart of the town. Chloe was really friendly and helpful, organizing flowers for my wife to find on arrival. I was really impressed.
As far as cleanliness, equipment is concerned, it is very nice and well equipped. The coffee is fantastic.
Our only issue is that the toilet is downstairs and the stairs are too steep. It is not friendly for those who have difficulties going up the stairs, having a medical condition or even for children. Other than that it is a perfect place to rent in the New Forest.
As a family run business we strive to give you that home from home feel. We live locally and are always available should you need us during your stay. We absolutely love the Lymington area and hope that you will too. The beautiful ocean views that stretch over to the Isle of Wight with the contrast of the New Forest National park on our doorstep, we are very lucky! What more could you want!
