Lymington is one of the largest towns in the New Forest and has a key role in the life of the area. This charming town is packed full of history dating back to the Norman Conquest, and is an important port on the west bank of the Lymington River on the Solent. Human habitation in the Lymington area dates back to the Iron Age, and a 6th Century BC hill fort known locally as Buckland Rings can still be seen today. As with many other towns and villages in the area, Lymington thrived during the Norman Conquest, thanks to its key location on the south coast.

Great place to have lunch or just a cuppa when visiting the shops of Lymington.
July 2022
Great place to eat, Had Ham, egg and chips and a pint of shandy lager and paid £6-20. Great service, great food which was hot and freshy cooked.

The Angel & Blue Pig
(Less than a mile)
(13)
A stylish and elegant gastro pub on the high street, whose origins date back to the 13th century. Lots of wooden beams, bare brick walls, large fire place and pretty soft furnishings - there’s also outside seating. The Angel and Blue Pig specialize in steaks, which receive great reviews. The main menu changes each month and is supplemented by daily specials. All the dishes are creative, varied and beautifully presented. A delightful spot for a drink or bite to eat.

May 2021
Good food and service
September 2020
Friendly staff, good food, comfortable surroundings
August 2020
Very disappointing. So much so that I submitted a complaint to customer service via email and the response was very unsatisfactory too! My advice would be to avoid.
November 2019
Visited this pub whilst on holiday. My wife and I had the intention of eating there, although we had not booked. We ordered 2 drinks (beer) which I could not drink at all. I took them back to the bar with the intention of asking them to be replaced. I waited for 15 minutes. During this time the 2 bar staff who were on duty walked past several times whilst serving other customers. Neither showed any interest in finding out what my problem was or that they knew I was there. In the end I left the beer on the bar and walked out. I have visited Lymington several times in the past and hope to holiday there again in the future, but I will never go into this place again.
May 2019
Very disappointing and long delay in seating us on arrival despite having a reservation.
January 2018
We loved this pub! We went with the kids for a quick drink around lunchtime and then came back in the evening without the kids. Great atmosphere, well furnished, and great drinks on offer. The menu looked fantastic too, however, we didn't get to sample it! We'll definitely go again if we return to Lymington.
July 2017
Perfect for lunch. They have a £6 lunchtime menu which offers excellent value for money. I had the wild mushroom linguine. Delicious and good sized portion. My husband had the burger which comes with fries and homemade ketchup. Staff are friendly and chatty too which is nice.

An atmospheric, former coaching inn dating back to the 17th century in the centre of Lymington with a pleasant beer garden.

September 2023
Great little museum. Very informative about the history of the area and even our teenagers enjoyed the dinosaur exhibit.
August 2022
A bit of a hidden gem really, very good and informative displays in a well laid out and spacious environment, we particularly liked the community involvement with a group of local children very actively enjoying the surroundings, the coffee shop and the engaging and helpful staff. If anything the museum could sell itself to the public better - we nearly didn't go in as there was little to explain what was inside other than the art galleries
May 2022
Wonderful art exhibition and everyone was very helpful. Great cafe and recommend the coffee and biscuits!
October 2021
Well worth spending a morning learning about the history of Lymington and the wider New Forest area. There is always an interesting pop up exhibition too. The cafe is great and serves lovely home made food.

Lovely trip out on the boat. We had the boat to ourselves and my children both had a turn at driving which they were really pleased about. I wish they did trips that were a little longer than half an hour.
April 2022

(4 miles)
(16)
A beautiful shingle beach with pretty painted beach huts, plenty of parking, and excellent coastal walks along Hurst spit to Hurst Castle with clear views of the Isle of Wight and needles. The superb Raft Rocks Restaurant is worth a visit with its Art deco style and roof terrace. You can also walk across the wildlife marshes to Keyhaven harbour and (in season) take the boat to Hurst Castle or the Isle of Wight.
Lovely sea walk within 15 minutes of the cottage.
March 2024
A lovely place to stay. So much to see and do locally and within easy reach.
August 2023
Milford on Sea is a very quintessential English village which has retained all its charm. The seafront is a delight to stroll along and The Needles Eye Cafe produces lovely coffee and lunches which is well worth a visit. A walk around Sturt Pond is also enjoyable and through to the village.

Brilliant beach.

July 2022
A proper gem. Great location for the new forest. The village is great and was only a short walk from our house. Not too busy or full of holiday makers. We will be back.
October 2021
One of my favourite places
July 2021
Good place to go if you have a buggy or wheelchair as there is a tarmac path along the top of the cliffs with great views of the Needles, plenty of parking and a kiosk serving refreshments.
September 2020
Lovely village with adequate shops on a very pretty green.
September 2019
Due to my husband breaking his leg we hired a mobility scooter for our holiday. It was a joy to ride along the front at Milford. Wonderful views of The Needles and lots of benches along the way too. Great access from the car parks. Would be great if the short path from Milford to Keyhaven could be the same good surface. We felt the rough stones would be too hard to ride on.
June 2019
Love Milford on Sea so old fashioned hasn't changed much since I use go as a child in the 1960/70s
April 2019
great walking area, small cafe-the needles, children climbing play park- crashing waves over stoned beach
March 2019
Great for a dog walk along the spit to Hurst Castle. Needles Eye cafe is a welcome break, quite good food but very busy and a bit basic.
December 2017
Fantastic sea location with goods pubs, shops etc
November 2017
Lovely village, plenty of shops and places to eat - no post office though.
June 2017
Barton on Sea
(6 miles)
(2)
A stony beach with sandy areas as the tide goes out, and a great spot to do some fossil hunting. The cliffs are subject to considerable coastal erosion and at times parts of the beach can be cordoned off. The Beachcomber Café on the cliff top is one of the most popular cafés in the region. Plenty of parking in car parks along the cliff top as well as on-road parking.
A pleasant walk along the cliff top and along the beach. There was less cliff than last time we went to the New Forest.
June 2023
Super walk, nice and easy and great place for a meal or tea and cake by the car park.
April 2019
Highcliffe Beach
(7 miles)
Highcliffe beach, beneath the popular Cliffhanger Restaurant is a part sandy, part pebble beach. The beach has sloping access as well as steps down to the shore from the pay and display clifftop car park. To the east, Highcliffe beach towards Barton on Sea is a part sandy beach at the foot of the second most eroded cliff in England. This side of the beach is dog-friendly all year. However do check the tide times as high tide can make it difficult to walk along the beach.
To the west towards Highcliffe Castle beach, the promenade leads across the top of the small beaches inbetween the groynes with views across Christchurch Bay and Hengistbury Head. Groynes 4-8 have dog restrictions as does the promenade during the summer months, May-September.

Thank you for the loan of your lovely house. We had a lovely week and really enjoyed our Easter Eggs and the bubbles. Our daughter wanted to say how much she loved the bunk beds. Top bunk for living, bottom for sleeping! We also loved the pod every night , great fun. With slightly dodgy weather we also made good use of games we hadn't played for years. Having a 7yr old beat a 77yr old at Mastermind was not so good! Thank you again.

September 2023
We have had a great stay in Seas The Day and have thoroughly enjoyed the time. It was lovely that after going out, we could look forward to returning and playing some of the multitude of games varying between the ages of 3 to some for adults. It was an amazing surprise when I saw the ice cream voucher which was a delicious treat. The cabin in the back is really nice and we used it a bit like an office where we would go to escape. Thank you for an incredible stay. - (Sophia aged 10) Dear Tracy and Robert, thank you very much for all the thought that went into the beautiful welcome pack and all the attention to detail that made for such a wonderful stay.

We have all very much enjoyed your beautifully appointed house. From the welcome pack to the outdoor equipment, board games and amazing television (very much in demand with the Woman's Football World Cup!). The range of games appealed to all the children, and made good use of the crabbing buckets/ nets and delicious ice creams from Toots Sweets. Thank you for looking after us so well and we would definitely like to return to Seas The Day in the future.

A lovely holiday home. Excellent location so close to the town, the harbour etc. But mainly- WOW!- so well appointed and equipped. We've loved the pod. Hadn't realised that it was here so a great bonus and its made every evening a laugh playing board games out there in the rain and wind amidst the sparkly lights. Thank you for providing this lovely setting.
August 2023

Wonderful welcome pack and air con was a life saver!

May 2023
Wow, we have absolutely loved every minute of our stay here. We are 2 families with young children and literally everything has been catered for (and more). We've stayed in many houses over the years and this is by far THE BEST! Can't wait to return and make more memories with our boys. We went to Christchurch Beach, Peppa Pig world, New Forest walks and its all been fab. Also wanted to note how clean the property was and how brilliant the owners have been. Such a fantastic welcome basket too- even the little ones were included- so lovely!
May 2023
Amazing property for a special family holiday. Lovely to witness King Charles III Coronation all together- very thoughtful themed welcome pack was much apricated. We were able to make use of the pod and the garden furniture. Great location, visited New Forest, Bournemouth, and Isle of Wight with lots of places in-between. Property had so many thoughtful touches which meant we had a very comfortable stay- Loved it all.
May 2023
Couldn’t have asked for more / property was immaculate and the quality of the furnishings really stood out. Everything we could have needed was supplied
May 2023
Really enjoyed our week in Seas The Day. The property is tastefully and practically furnished with lovely decor, thoughtful touches such as cosy throws in the sitting room and laundry baskets in all the bed rooms and some quirky features which made us smile. Very well appointed kitchen with plenty of good quality china and glasses etc, the oven was spotless, big fridge (with another beer fridge in the pod) was plenty of us 6 adults. Outside space is probably the best we've seen, beautifully kept, nice garden furniture and a pod with heating (which was great as the weather wasn't very good !). Fabulous welcome hamper themed for King Charles III Coronation, again very thoughtful. Location is great, parking for 2 cars and a short walk into town. We were out and about everyday and visits included Beaulieu and the Isle of Wight. Had a meal in the Six Bells which was good and morning coffee at Stanwell House. Overall this was one of the nicest properties we've stayed in, Host Tracy is super friendly and very helpful - can highly recommend.

Thank you for the loan of your lovely house. We had a lovely week and really enjoyed our Easter Eggs and the bubbles. Our daughter wanted to say how much she loved the bunk beds. Top bunk for living, bottom for sleeping! We also loved the pod every night , great fun. With slightly dodgy weather we also made good use of games we hadn't played for years. Having a 7yr old beat a 77yr old at Mastermind was not so good! Thank you again.

We have had a great stay in Seas The Day and have thoroughly enjoyed the time. It was lovely that after going out, we could look forward to returning and playing some of the multitude of games varying between the ages of 3 to some for adults. It was an amazing surprise when I saw the ice cream voucher which was a delicious treat. The cabin in the back is really nice and we used it a bit like an office where we would go to escape. Thank you for an incredible stay. - (Sophia aged 10) Dear Tracy and Robert, thank you very much for all the thought that went into the beautiful welcome pack and all the attention to detail that made for such a wonderful stay.

Good food and service
September 2020
Friendly staff, good food, comfortable surroundings
August 2020
Very disappointing. So much so that I submitted a complaint to customer service via email and the response was very unsatisfactory too! My advice would be to avoid.
November 2019
Visited this pub whilst on holiday. My wife and I had the intention of eating there, although we had not booked. We ordered 2 drinks (beer) which I could not drink at all. I took them back to the bar with the intention of asking them to be replaced. I waited for 15 minutes. During this time the 2 bar staff who were on duty walked past several times whilst serving other customers. Neither showed any interest in finding out what my problem was or that they knew I was there. In the end I left the beer on the bar and walked out. I have visited Lymington several times in the past and hope to holiday there again in the future, but I will never go into this place again.
May 2019
Very disappointing and long delay in seating us on arrival despite having a reservation.
January 2018
We loved this pub! We went with the kids for a quick drink around lunchtime and then came back in the evening without the kids. Great atmosphere, well furnished, and great drinks on offer. The menu looked fantastic too, however, we didn't get to sample it! We'll definitely go again if we return to Lymington.
July 2017
Perfect for lunch. They have a £6 lunchtime menu which offers excellent value for money. I had the wild mushroom linguine. Delicious and good sized portion. My husband had the burger which comes with fries and homemade ketchup. Staff are friendly and chatty too which is nice.

September 2023
Great little museum. Very informative about the history of the area and even our teenagers enjoyed the dinosaur exhibit.
August 2022
A bit of a hidden gem really, very good and informative displays in a well laid out and spacious environment, we particularly liked the community involvement with a group of local children very actively enjoying the surroundings, the coffee shop and the engaging and helpful staff. If anything the museum could sell itself to the public better - we nearly didn't go in as there was little to explain what was inside other than the art galleries
May 2022
Wonderful art exhibition and everyone was very helpful. Great cafe and recommend the coffee and biscuits!
October 2021
Well worth spending a morning learning about the history of Lymington and the wider New Forest area. There is always an interesting pop up exhibition too. The cafe is great and serves lovely home made food.

A beautiful shingle beach with pretty painted beach huts, plenty of parking, and excellent coastal walks along Hurst spit to Hurst Castle with clear views of the Isle of Wight and needles.

Beautiful beach with views to The Isle of Wight. Good for swimming, picnics and walking. Very good car parking and public toilets. Lots of good places to eat and drink either next to the beach or in the village, a short walk away

A proper gem. Great location for the new forest. The village is great and was only a short walk from our house. Not too busy or full of holiday makers. We will be back.

One of my favourite places
July 2021
Good place to go if you have a buggy or wheelchair as there is a tarmac path along the top of the cliffs with great views of the Needles, plenty of parking and a kiosk serving refreshments.

Lovely village with adequate shops on a very pretty green.
September 2019
Due to my husband breaking his leg we hired a mobility scooter for our holiday. It was a joy to ride along the front at Milford. Wonderful views of The Needles and lots of benches along the way too. Great access from the car parks. Would be great if the short path from Milford to Keyhaven could be the same good surface. We felt the rough stones would be too hard to ride on.

Love Milford on Sea so old fashioned hasn't changed much since I use go as a child in the 1960/70s
April 2019
great walking area, small cafe-the needles, children climbing play park- crashing waves over stoned beach
March 2019
Great for a dog walk along the spit to Hurst Castle. Needles Eye cafe is a welcome break, quite good food but very busy and a bit basic.
December 2017
Fantastic sea location with goods pubs, shops etc
November 2017
Lovely village, plenty of shops and places to eat - no post office though.

Barton on Sea
(6 miles)
(2)
A stony beach with sandy areas as the tide goes out, and a great spot to do some fossil hunting. The cliffs are subject to considerable coastal erosion and at times parts of the beach can be cordoned off. The Beachcomber Café on the cliff top is one of the most popular cafés in the region. Plenty of parking in car parks along the cliff top as well as on-road parking.
A pleasant walk along the cliff top and along the beach. There was less cliff than last time we went to the New Forest.

Super walk, nice and easy and great place for a meal or tea and cake by the car park.

Highcliffe Beach
(7 miles)
Highcliffe beach, beneath the popular Cliffhanger Restaurant is a part sandy, part pebble beach. The beach has sloping access as well as steps down to the shore from the pay and display clifftop car park. To the east, Highcliffe beach towards Barton on Sea is a part sandy beach at the foot of the second most eroded cliff in England. This side of the beach is dog-friendly all year. However do check the tide times as high tide can make it difficult to walk along the beach.
To the west towards Highcliffe Castle beach, the promenade leads across the top of the small beaches inbetween the groynes with views across Christchurch Bay and Hengistbury Head. Groynes 4-8 have dog restrictions as does the promenade during the summer months, May-September.
Highcliffe Castle Beach
(7 miles)
(3)
A picturesque, tree-lined beach of shingle, and sand at low tide. Good facilities on the cliff top including an excellent tea room, public toilets, baby change and a children’s play area in the Castle gardens. Plenty of parking and sloping access down to the beach. Highcliffe Castle beach is dog-friendly all year round.
Very picturesque beach with great access, looks good for a beach day
