About this property
Nestled on the outskirts of Lymington in the grounds of Kingfisher is this spacious, single storey lodge, Lymington Lodge. Wonderfully appointed, Lymington Lodge provides a romantic bolthole for couples looking to explore the Hampshire region, well-positioned near the shoreline and a hub of amenities. 200 yards /180 meters from the sea wall where you can walk into Lymington or to Keyhaven.
Internally, the lodge is comprised of a studio layout with open-plan living space; the kitchen boasts a contemporary finish with sleek integrated units to assist in home-cooking, whilst a sofa, armchair, and TV rest beside the woodburning stove for those cosy film nights. Appreciate a romantic dinner at the dining table before enjoying a gin and tonic on the decking and taking in the tranquil garden setting. Begin your evening routine in the spacious walk-in shower, featuring a rainfall and hand-held attachment, before drying off and unwinding in the generous super-king-size bed.
If you can tear yourself away from this idyllic abode, explore your local surroundings where you will be spoilt for choice for things to see and do. Amble through the streets of Lymington and you can expect to find several boutique and independent shops, ideal for purchasing a gift to take home, along with a plethora of fine eateries ranging from cafés to gastro pubs and fine dining restaurants, so there is something to suit all tastes and wallets! From here, you can even join the 60-mile stretch of Solent Way, which runs through the SSSI area and nature reserve, a haven for birdwatchers, enjoying the area by foot or by cycle, possible to reach the likes of Keyhaven for further coastal villages and vistas.
Those seeking a bit of outdoor therapy can explore the beautiful New Forest National Park, home to miles of walking and cycling routes amidst scenic landscapes, plus there’s plenty of birdlife and wildlife to spot! If adventure takes you further afield, why not catch a ferry to the little island of Isle of Wight, boasting glorious beaches and seafront promenades for a sunny afternoon, along with historical landmarks and several pretty villages to visit. If you’re after a relaxing base in the South of England, consider Lymington Lodge.
Lymington is a picturesque market town on the west bank of the Lymington River, at the western end of The Solent and on the southern boundary of the New Forest National Park. There are regular ferry connections to the Isle of Wight, in addition to being a popular sailing destination. You can visit one of the town's many intriguing boutiques and craft shops, or treat yourself to a dinner at one of the many local eateries. From the heathlands and ancient woodlands of the New Forest to the coastal nature reserves that stretch over 5 miles, ending in the shingle spit where Henry viii constructed Hurst Castle in 1554, Lymington is surrounded by an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Lymington is a great place to visit whether you want to see the New Forest, the Isle of Wight, or the Hampshire coast.

Young lady on site did her best to resolve the issue, it would have been nice for someone to check with us to see if all was ok as this very much upset us.

The woodburner: WARNING This is a health hazard. During wind in the "wrong" direction soot from the fire blows back through poorly sealed burner doors into the whole studio. On this occasion it was extreme filling the whole accommodation with acrid sooty smoke. The owners stated this happens if it is windy. They are clearly aware, there are no instructions on its use . A shrug of the shoulders by the owner is insufficient response. All of our belongings now have to be washed or wiped down as the smell is intolerable. A previous review states the blowback of smoke so they are aware as admitted. We could not tolerate this as it made my eyes swell and smart. We had to vacate halfway through our stay as the room state was unhealthy. It is difficult to get through ventilation due to the blackouts on the south side windows.There will be dangerous fumes always entering the room. This is carcinogenic. 2. There is no sprinkler system, fire alarm or CO monitor in such an enclosed studio space which should be mandatory. 3. The provision of 6 large books of Playboy by the bed together with walls covered in family pictures of breastfeeding, pregnancy ultrasound scans, baby feet, and general family children in swim costumes are also inappropriate. Such personal items should not be in a public rented space. 4.The Sofa needs replacing. 5. Insufficient utensils and dishes for self catering. 7. There are two large dogs in the grounds. The owner did bring them to introduce us & they are lovely but as dogs make me anxious I would have appreciated forewarning. Sykes do not inspect properties after an initial visit.

However, the Lodge was tempting and did not disappoint. The grounds were beautiful and the owners very considerate. The area is lovely with great walks from the door. The sea wall walk, accessed through the nature reserve, is a must. Takes you to Lymington, with outstanding views across the Solent. Local pubs good for lunch. Owners have provided a useful map. The kitchen in the property is nice and good for light meals in the evening. The wet room is amazing and bed very comfortable. We found the sofa not very comfortable but the armchair was. Loved the paintings and the books by Aimee Durnell which we did read from cover to cover. This is an interesting and unique property, well worth a visit.
