Bosuns Chair

Staff at the Hotel very welcoming and friendly. The yogurt was the best ever, locally produced with the fruit. The main dish was cooked to our choice and very tasty. Also the pizzas were exceptional and good choice of beverages. I will say although all the rooms were refurbished and clean you had to put your please clean the room card out or tell reception after breakfast otherwise it would not be done. The situ of the pub was ideal for walking around Lymington and Parking as well.

Great breakfast & service, bit noisy to stay

As others have said, great breakfast, very good service, comfortable bed and decent shower, as well as being very convenient for the town centre, quay and station. But room quite noisy both early in morning (6.30am) and later at night (past 10pm). First floor room was compact and the stairs a bit tight (partly spiral). Watch out for the pigeon dropping on the car if parking under the trees...

As maturer visitors, we found that having only one handrail on the stairs was challenging. An extra handrail would help. Other than that it was a great stay. If we are to return to the area the Bosuns Chair would be our first choice.

Kind and efficient staff

The best thing about this hotel was the staff. Absolutely first class and couldn't be more helpful. Being elderly we found the stairs to the bedroom rather difficult. We had originally been put on the second floor but when the young lady checking us in saw our problem she immediately tried to get us moved to the first floor. We were very grateful.
