1 night stay at Bosuns Chair
Would have got 5 stars all around if it wasn’t for a faulty shower, wonky chandelier and limited parking. The staff were extremely helpful and apologetic so could not fault them. The breakfast was lovely.

Couple's Friday night stay
Excellent stay at The Bosuns Chair. Recently refubished room was lovely & spacious, nicely decorated and very comfortable. Everything we needed was there, including a plentiful supply of good quality towels, more than ample tea & coffee making facilities, full length mirror, nice smelling toiletries, plus lots of extra thoughtfil touches, in case you needed them (nail kit, shaving kit, additional toiletry items etc). Any street noise from cars had died down by mid-evening and it was very very quiet overnight and in the morning. Although there is a pub downstairs, again there was no problem with noise. Breakfast was excellent! Good choice, speedy service, tasty and well presented. Staff were nice and friendly. Parking was limited and a bit tight, but not a major problem. Excellent central location for Lymington train station, local restaurants and shops. We would 100% recommend The Bosuns Chair and stay there again.

Great location, close to the high st. Good breakfast and really comfy bed, nice room (no4) let down by the bathroom though which is small with a poor layout and needs a refurb, we’d definitely stay again with the hope that the bathroom might be sorted.
