    Couldn't get connected to wifi until they gave us the staff password.

    Nice room, comfy bed, lovely sea view. Tasty dinner, we had the pie. Pleasant, attentive staff. Lovely breakfast, freshly cooked, not deep-fried.

    Only complaint was there was a security light above the door which shone a very strong green light all night. Needs toning down or moving as was directly in your face all night.

    Friendly staff, lovely breakfast and room clean and comfortable with a few personal touches like homemade biscuits in the room.

    Although our room was very clean, the walls were a bit knocked about & could do with a refresh paint wise. The bed wasn’t very comfortable, the mattress had springs poking through.

    We received a very warm welcome, shown to our room, restaurant times etc explained. Nice view of the sea, tea/coffee available, fluffy white towels & lovely toiletries in the bathroom. All the staff were very friendly & helpful. Excellent breakfast, lots of choice. Excellent location for a stroll into Lymington. Plenty of parking.

    As a period property the windows are single glazed and leaked in places. It didn’t affect our stay but if you’re a light sleeper and it’s windy which it was it gets quite noisy.

    Good location with a short walk into the town and right on the harbour perfect for a nice family break. The staff were very friendly and they accommodated our need for a coeliac diet excellently. (Coeliac is an autoimmune condition which means you can’t have gluten, wheat, rye, barley or oats or anything that has been cross contaminated with them) It makes travelling tricky at times but The Mayflower knew exactly what was required and advised they have GF fryers and use GF flour so our coeliac daughter could have fish and chips plus onion rings which is unheard of. Breakfast was a similar story, homemade GF granola, bread and cooked breakfast minus the sausage. Our family room was more like a little apartment, separated rooms and a good sized bathroom.

    Unfortunately they do not serve food on Sunday evening, which is a shame as the menu looked delicious. The staff very helpfully provided some recommendations of alternate pubs where we could have a nice meal, so no big deal at all.

    Wonderful old pub on the outskirts of Lymington, which is well placed to enjoy the New Forest. Cute decor, tasty and filling breakfast and very helpful, accommodating staff.

    Dogs in other rooms barking early in the morning. Last time you can order dinner is 6pm, average sunday roast.

    Room was nice and comfy and a good temperature. Good size bed and nice views. Great location for having a drink in the garden with nice views.

    The breakfasts are fine, and there is a great choice, but feels a bit like a Wetherspoons breakfast, and I was expecting better quality ingredients

    We have stayed here before and love the rooms and bathrooms. The beds are huge and extremely comfortable and we love the roll top baths.
