Located between open forest and the shoreline, Pennington is a perfect village to stay for exploring the area. The village has a good array of shops including a Tesco Express, One Stop Convenience Store with Post Office, bakery, butchers and pharmacy. The village also has a petrol station and Church. If you fancy having a takeaway back to your cottage, there are plenty of options including a Chinese, fish and chips and Indian takeaway. There are more amenities in Pennington’s neighbouring town Lymington, only a mile and a half away.

There are four good pubs in Pennington. If you just fancy a drink, try The Wheel Inn. Originally a blacksmith’s workshop, it was converted back in the 1800s to a quaint country pub. The Musketeer is a popular haunt with locals who enjoy well-kept beer and good, honest pub food. The pub often has live music, quiz and theme nights. The White Hart is a wonderful 200-year-old traditional Inn, with a solid reputation for hearty portions of well cooked, delicious food. You’ll find huge log fires flickering in the winter months and a large sunny beer garden in the summer. The pub holds regular quiz nights and hosts its own beer and cider festival. The picturesque Chequers pub dates from the 16th Century, inside you’ll see the pub has kept its strong nautical links. They offer fabulous seasonal food with a great selection of real ales and wines. Live bands often play at weekends during the summer on the outside patio.

Whilst in Pennington, you should make a visit to Vibrant Forest Brewery. This little microbrewery has a shop and small bar, where you can come for a tipple of their gorgeous creations and sample beers before you buy. 

There are plenty of events that take place in the village including a village fete, a fun fayre and beer and cider festivals. The circus comes every year followed by fireworks night and Christmas fayre with real reindeer!

Pennington is surrounded by some superb walks and cycle routes which take in woodland, open fields, marshlands, rivers, hedgerows, streams and Lymington Nature Reserve deemed an SSSI (Site of Special Scientific Interest).

pleasant cafe also

February 2024


Visited on a damp day on my own, interesting museum and a good Art Gallery within the same building. Very nice and well staffed cafe area with a good selection of tasty food and nice coffee.

October 2023


Had a nice meal here upon arrival in Lymington. Very pleasant helpful staff. Also, a very nice gift shop, and Tourist Information centre.

October 2023


Brilliant Museum and the cafe is excellent

September 2023


Excellent museum that tells the story of the town and local area and also has space for changing exhibitions. Also acts as the local visitor info centre and has plenty of information about things to do in the area. There's also a nice gift shop and super little cafe.

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

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.

Would loved to have experienced this cruise but it was closed the entire week that we stayed in Lymington

Excellent 30 minute cruise around the harbour! We would book again no problem! Our captain was Phil who was very knowledgeable and courteous.
