The Bosun's Chair is so handy for Lymington Town Railway Station, being literally just over the road. It is also very close to the town centre and the quay. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was quiet, comfortable and spotlessly clean.

Well placed for the town/sea front, the beautiful New Forest & the ferry to the Isle of Wight. Clean, tidy room and very friendly & helpful staff. Property has been modernised in certain areas especially the bedrooms. Good car parking. Simple but satisfactory breakfast and adequate evening meal. Happy to recommend this for all the above & would certainly be happy to stay there again. Very good value for the money.
