We were blessed with 3 days of unspoilt sunshine this Easter weekend. The cottage was perfect in every way - tastefully decorated, a truly fantastic location and wonderful hosts. We enjoyed cycling from Brockenhurst to Beaulieu, taking the dog for a long walk across Highcliffe and Barton on Sea beaches and relaxing in the sunlit courtyard. Very handy on the day of arrival to have the Mayflower opposite, and would highly recommend The Haven for a piece of Mediterranean culture and amazing oysters! ... April 2023
Thank you for a great break at Yachtsman's Cottage. It was so warm and cosy and had everything we could ask for. It was a great bonus to find a charger for an electric vehicle in the car park across the road. This is our first time in Lymington, we loved the nature reserve and walks along the sea wall. The town is so close, pretty and everyone we met so friendly. We would love to come back... March 2023
We had a lovely time in Lymington over Christmas. Weather has been mainly good and have enjoyed some great walks along the marshes from Milford-on-Sea, Key Haven and Lymington.

A huge thank you for a lovely stay at your beautiful cottage. On arrival from a very wet rainy journey with many detours we felt instantly comfortable at arrival in such well thought out surroundings and thoughtful gifts - thank you : ). We had such a good time exploring the area (thanks to your advice) and discovering the many places to walk and places to eat. What a treat it has been and such a pleasant surprise as w have never been to this area before. We certainly want to come back to enjoy it all again in an altogether different season. The Haven has been a favourite of ours for food and rest - so good. Thanks for everything this cottage is!! ... November 2022

Everything was lovely and easy, topped off by perks such as free prosecco! Thanks again... November 2022

Thank you for our very enjoyable week in Yachtsman's Cottage. A most comfortable stay with every effort made to ensure we had everything we need. Some lovely touches, your good taste is very obvious and compliments the cottage beautifully. It is our first time in the area so a trip to the Isle of Wight was a must. Osbourne House in all its splendour is well worth a visit. If you enjoy walking, there is an abundance of lovely walks from here, taking in the wonderful scenery, and an array of wildlife. We have enjoyed good food, The Ship does an excellent menu to take out and eat in. The Haven is a must!! ... February 2022

Thank you for a wonderful stay at Yachtsman's Cottage. When we arrived the Lymington Seafood Festival was on and literally on our doorstep, which was great fun! As well as enjoying the local harbour, seawater bath and shops, we have found Lymington to be a great base to explore the surrounding areas, including Poole & Christchurch. Our highlights have been eating at the Fishermen's Rest and Rick Stein, the Beaulieu Motor Museum, boat trios and crabbing. Thank you again for a lovely stay & we hope to visit soon again...

Thank you so much for providing such a great place to rest, relax and recover. The cottage is truly haven and I couldn’t have dreamt of a lovelier little bolthole to cosy up and ride out the winter! The décor is perfect, the homely touches were appreciated (the logs and kindling, bathrobes, the toiletries, the DVDs and games, the brilliant book about the cottage) and the complimentary cleaning service was a big help. The location is perfect too; just enough of a stroll into the town to stretch the legs and the Mayflower was usefully handy. I loved watching the ferry sliding past the bedroom window! … Jan/Feb 2019
A lovely week’s break in a very comfortable cottage. What a great use of space whoever designed and renovated it initially. Wonderful location - perfect for the lovely Haven (our favourite for breakfast, coffee, drinks and food). Mayflower also good. Fabulous walks and so close to the Quay, trains and town centre. Perfect. Fire was fab on the chillier autumn nights. Love it… October 2018
