Lymington's sailing scene and high street are within easy reach of The Bothy, a four-bedroom cottage on the edge of the New Forest. Open forest lies just minutes' drive away, and the coast is under 3 miles off. The house suits families or groups of up to eight, with two bathrooms and enough space to spread out without constantly sharing facilities.
Ground floor holds a living room with wood burner and garden access, a kitchen with Aga and flagstone floors, a bedroom with ensuite, and a dedicated games room equipped with table football, air hockey, board games and a 55-inch TV. Three more bedrooms are upstairs, one with a super kingsize bed and two with single beds each. The enclosed rear garden has furniture and a barbecue. Private parking fits three cars, and there's a garage with tumble dryer. Essentials including heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and wifi are covered, along with initial fuel for the wood burner. One dog stays free.
The setting is a quiet lane in Buckland Conservation Area. Families with young children will find a travel cot, highchair and stairgate already in place. No smoking throughout.

What guests say
Return couples trip after a 7 year break (hadn't realised just how long it had been). Still a fabulous place to base yourself for exploring. But we just decided to kick back and relax in the splendor that is The Bothy and getting to know some of the neighbours. Squirrel and deer watching. Stephen and John are excellent hosts and always on hand should you need them. Also just like to say thank you for the bottle of wine and the homemade marmalade which both went down a treat. Especially the wine after our 10 hour drive down from the Lakes. We won't leave it so long next time.

We had a lovely stay at The Bothy. The cottage was faultless, the best we have ever stayed in over forty years! There was a lovely welcome pack including a lovely jar of Stephanie's Marmalade (I'm sure both the Queen and Paddington would have given the Thumbs up!!) So good meeting John really friendly and helpful with information. If you are looking for accommodation you'll not find better!!! Looking forward to returning :)

We had to stay here after a plumbing emergency at our home. I was so pleased to have found this place, and that really helped with our stress levels. We didn't want to go home! It was spotlessly clean, very spacious, beautiful and quiet location, walking distance from shops and takeaways, and the shower was incredible! The hosts were really friendly and provided a very useful welcome pack, with yummy homemade marmalade. Highly recommend

We stayed here a few years ago and what a find it was! Exceptionally clean and well equipped. Lovely quiet area but close to all the town's amenities. We were hoping to see the deer on the lawn but it didnt happen, unfortunately. We did rebook to spend Christmas here the following year but due to family circumstances we had to cancel. We will definately be returning soon.
