Cosy but comfortable cottage in an excellent location close to the town centre, station and ferry. The cottage had everything we needed and the beds were comfortable. Comms were good and check-in easy. Great value for money overall and wouldn't hesitate to return.

Lovely little cottage and just as described. Everything you could want for a self catering break and owner was very responsive. The location was perfect for visiting the New Forest . A few minutes walk to the train station, bus stops, harbour & high street with many restaurants & bars. I would highly recommend

A lovely cottage, beautifully decorated and well equipped. Close to all amenities and on the edge of the New Forest. Plenty to see and do. We struggled with parking as we had a large vehicle but found that we could use the railway station, the charges weren’t extortionate and we were able to leave the car there all weekend

Lovely, clean well maintained property close to train station. Ideal resting place for a break in Lymington. All available facilities were to a high order in the house. Website said fitness room/ equipment, but I didn't see that anywhere, iron is just a travel iron. WiFi excellent within property. Would recommend if planning a trip for yourself or a couple. I think stairs too steep for children, but that my thought

We enjoyed a lovely short stay in Crab Cottage, it was in a great location, a couple of minutes from the shops, restaurants and the quay and for a bit further afield for exploring the New Forest. The cottage was well equipped with everything you would need, we loved the décor and the little crab details!Wouldn't hesitate to recommend!

Compact cottage in a convenient central location, ideal for a weekend break. The cottage is very nicely decorated with the crab theme evident throughout. Kitchen was well equipped for its size, lounge a bit cramped but accommodated the four of us (2 adults / 2 teens). Beds comfy, shower had good pressure.Stairs very steep, on street parking limited but easy walk to long stay at Cannon Street and options at nearby station. Didn’t hear trains, but traffic noise on Saturday night was occasionally a bit loud

A great cottage in great location in a great town

Crab Cottage is exactly as described in the description and the the pictures. For us having access to the garden shed to store our bikes was a real bonus. Proximity to everything Lymington has to offer is also a plus. Cottage was immaculate.

Blissfully comfortable cottage

3 night stay with teenage daughter joining us from uni. We just wanted a rest, in excellent accommodation with great restaurants and cafes nearby and that’s exactly what we got. The free parking was a bonus.

South coast gem.

Lovely cottage in a great location. Accommodation equipped really well; spotlessly clean, lovely colour palette for decoration. Perfect location for long (or short) walks. Plenty of dining opportunities within 7 minutes stroll.
