Sailmakers cottage is a fine period property, providing a comfortable base from which one may explore the charm of Lymington and further afield. The local Lymington and Keyhaven Marshes is an extensive coastal nature reserve which attracts an abundance of wintering birds.

Although parking a car directly outside the property is not a feasible option, parking nearby either close to the house or in a municipal car park is an option.

Next time I would look for an upstairs bathroom , better parking and easier stairs. This review reflects our age ie 70+.

cottage was beautifully decorated lots of extra touches , location was brilliant, parking easy.

alittle squeaky the metal double bed , and maybe a extra seat or comfy chair downstairs as we were a family of four with two teenage boys.

Very clean Lovely cottage. Great location

Very steep stairs

Lovely cottage in an amazingly central location. Spotlessly clean with all the amenities you could need for a short stay away. Easy to access the property and communication from the host was top notch. The whole stay was seamless. Thank you very much.

Honestly cannot think of anything. Really lovely

The location was perfect and the beds were very comfy .. The cottage was very roomy as there was just 2 of us

My mother is quite elderly and was a bit concerned about the steep stairs and having to go down to the bathroom.

Ideal location.

it was comfortable and clean excellent location

Location perfect. Moments from the Quay and High Street. We were able to cycle or walk from the door to everything we wanted to see and do in the area. Left the car in the street with no problem. Able to store the bikes safely. Cottage is very cute and beautifully styled. Small but great for a couple. Good owner communication and information. Plenty of TV channels. Cleanliness absolutely excellent.

Just being really, really picky, we would have liked... - More hand towels and ability to dry towels easily when the heating isn't on. - A lamp over the armchair - Kitchen roll That's it!

The cottage had been refurbished very nicely. Liked the style and decor plus the thoughtful bottle of Prosecco. Hosts were exceptionally pro active with communication.

There were a couple of things I hadn’t realised. It was on a much busier cut through road and at times the speed of the cars was quite dangerous and care had to be taken when leaving the cottage. I knew the stairs were steep but negotiating them when half asleep was a little tricky!

The cottage was only 5 minutes walk to Lymington Quay and the shops, so very convenient. Our hosts had left a bottle of prosecco for us. We didn't meet our hosts due to Covid, but David rang us to give us the key code and there was lots of useful information in the Welcome book. Although not large, there was plenty of room. Lovely kitchen and bathroom.

The stairs are pretty steep which we weren't forewarned about. The bathroom is downstairs, so, as someone who has to get up in the night, I had to be pretty careful negotiating them. The 2nd bedroom was very small and you could only access the cupboard for clothes by climbing on the bed. Not a problem for us as the main bedroom was fine. The clock in the lounge didn't work which was a tad annoying, as we kept looking at it to check the time. I think the advantages outweighed these minor points though.
