What makes this place special...

Highlights staying at this house and in the local area...

  • New Forest Escapes

    Lymington Old Town and Cobbles

    Frequently noted in the ‘Top 10 places to live in Britain’ articles in the mainstream British press, Lymington is a smart, bustly Georgian market town by the sea. It supports a thriving marine industry, excellent independent shops, a very well supported Saturday market on the High Street. Head to the cobbles area for crabbing, ice cream, and boat trips.

  • New Forest Escapes

    Lymington Sea Water Baths

    200 metres of floating obstacle courses, water zorbs, paddle boards, hot tubs for when you're cold, wet suits for hire, so many reasons to love this place... Book ahead.

  • New Forest Escapes

    Go wild in the National Park

    This is the place to get muddy knees, jump streams, track ponies, play pooh-sticks in streams... Forest games are endless, so are the learning opportunities. We love taking our kids out to climb on fallen oak trees, they're a bit safer than climbing straight up, and there's always something interesting to find.

  • New Forest Escapes

    Need some Vitamin 'Tree'?

    Walk through Rhinefield Ornamental Drive. The drive there is pretty. Plenty of car parks. There are good flat-ish walks, suitable for prams with bigger wheels, and masses of dens for children to explore. It's hugely romantic and well worth it for adults too.

  • New Forest Escapes

    Head to the beaches at Milford on Sea

    Walking from here, along the coastal path, either way, is very special. You can also cycle the coastal path either way, east and west. Head back towards Lymington for some windy and beautiful views, secret little beaches that pop up at low tide.

  • New Forest Escapes

    Hurst Castle walk and lunch at The Gun

    The boat trip out, or walk back from Hurst Castle is wonderful. Time spent on the shingle spit will blow your cobwebs away and you'll get an eyeful of some 'cracking views Gromit'. Good foodie spots in Milford afterwards will refuel you.

  • New Forest Escapes

    Visit Burley or Brockenhurst villages

    They're both lovely, lots of independent shops and you'll see ponies everywhere...they have right of way on the roads, down the village centre street, along the pavements, and in Burley, across the golf-course... donkeys too.

All the essential details.

Here's your full run down of this place, inside and out...

Inside

The house is part of a newly built gated development of five three-storey town mews houses, offering a secure and peaceful setting in the heart of Lymington. At the front, there is a private courtyard – a lovely spot for alfresco dining and summer barbecues.

On the ground floor, you’ll find a modern, fully equipped kitchen with everything you need for cooking, baking and entertaining, alongside a compact dining area that comfortably seats six. The hallway, staircase and living space are bright, colourful and full of character, with thoughtful, quirky touches throughout – including a miniature Eastport Pram sailing dinghy coffee table. The house is also well stocked with books for all ages, plus plenty of games to enjoy together.

The first floor offers a family bathroom and two bedrooms. One is a cheerful twin room with beds, while the second is a light and airy double with an en-suite, charming library-themed wallpaper and a Juliette balcony.

The top floor is a spacious, light-filled retreat spanning the full width of the house. It features a king-size bed, a comfortable sofa for reading, and a small desk area for those needing to work while away. There is also an en-suite shower room and a private balcony. This room easily accommodates a travel cot, and an additional airbed can be set up if needed.

Best suited to couples, families with older children or teenagers, and guests looking for a stylish base to explore Lymington and the New Forest. The nearby Berthon Marina is just a three-minute walk away, ideal for sailing enthusiasts and yacht visitors alike.

Location, location, location...

You cannot get more central in Lymington than our lovely escape, Number 2... Tucked just off the High Street (30 or so steps from your front door), you really can wake up ready & raring for Lymington escapdes from here!

Head to Hoxton Bakehouse for your morning croissant & coffee, or hit the Saturday market to be first to find treasure. A little further down the High Street, follow the cobbles to the Quay for a people & boat-watching haven (we also love The Elderflower down here for a special supper out). Meet the resident swans, head out for a pirate trip, hire a paddleboard, or simply lose track of time watching the Sunseekers set out over The Solent- perfection.

Just a 2 minute stroll from Lymington Quay, Lymington Train Station is poised for pony-spotting adventures in Brockenhurst, or a day tripping to the Isle of Wight (head to Lymington Pier to catch your ferry).

If you are visiting during summer, we love the Sea Water Baths, but for whatever-the-weather adventures walk the Sea Wall to birdwatch all the way into Milford on Sea… lovely jubilee fun all-year-round!

We've had a wonderful stay at No 2, perfectly located in lovely Lymington and a short drive to the New Forest! We came with a toddler & two dogs in a heatwave but still found plenty to do that kept everyone cool! Spent lots of hours soaking in the peaceful shady Puttles Bridge & Wootton Bridge, with shallow streams perfect for kids & furry friends! 10/10 Moors Valley Country Park – so good we went twice! For eats – can't recommend The Kings Head down the hill enough! EXCEPTIONAL food and lovely atmosphere! All in all a fabulous stay – thank you!!

The Rossiters & The Cradducks July 2026

We had a delightful holiday in Number 2. The house is interesting and has an artistic and designer feel about it. The location is excellent for popping to the high street and M&S and Waitrose are nearby for food shopping. Parking permit much appreciated. As we were visiting friends we had our main meal out but the kitchen is equipped with all mod cons. Hope to come back again.

Michael July 2026

After finding this gem on the website for our annual getaway with our friends, the location was perfect. we had the ease of walking around the shops within a minute, and the beautiful scenery of the New Forrest a 5 minute drive away. The house was perfect and kept in brilliant condition. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay, with Sarah being very responsive the couple of times i had questions. We will definitely look to stay here again in the future.

Joseph June 2026

Excellent holiday home

Kevin June 2026

We were 3 aduits and 1 child. It was very easy to get about on foot and shop locally for necessaries, and good restaurants in walking distance. parking was VERY tight and only a small car will fit - best done with someone helping. Beds were comfortable. Plenty of loos and bathrooms. Kitchen was very small and it was just as well the weather was good and we went out mostly, or eating indoors would have been a bit squashed. We all had a good time though and provided there aren’t too many of you the house works well. Note there is no garden - just a small paved terrace in the front which is perfect for evening drinks. That is fine but is not suitable imo for energetic children. responsive managers - it was very hot while we were there and needed fans, which were delivered and assembled the next day.

Monique May 2026

5 stars. Fantastic house, excellent location for everything. We really enjoyed our stay, it was perfect!! thank you for having us.

Jacqui May 2026

What a fantastic location - right in the heart of Lymington and the high street. Lots of lovely places to eat and a 2 minute stroll down to the quay. Just perfect!

Lauren April 2026

5 stars! Lovely, clean and well equipped house in a very central location yet really quiet. Parking in car port was great and near to the house. Lymington and the surrounding area of the New Forest was very enjoyable, thank you.

Joanne Sept 2023

House was great, had all we needed in a good location.

Margaret June 2023

A well equipped town house, scrupulously clean, 3 minutes from the high street. Everything it says ‘on the tin’. Parking clock extremely useful; note to future guests ; don’t leave it in the car on your way home, which we did. Jan was very helpful and sympathetic. We posted it back on our arrival at home. Lymington town and surroundings made a perfect holiday. And finally I must mention the proliferation of clean, free public loos!. Ted and Rose.

Ted and Rose May 2023

Great Time A lovely place to stay!

Tim & family April 2023

Thank you - we had a lovely break here. The house was so comfortable and well equipped. We enjoyed exploring the local area, coastal and inland walks.

Andy and family February 2023

We've had a great week here in Lymington. Your home was a lovely place to stay, great location and well equipped with everything you could need. Thank you.

The Laudato family February 2023

Lovely house, great central location. Was bright, homely and welcoming.

Stephen December 2022

Great house in a great position for the town and surrounding forest and villages. The walk in to town is literally 20-30 seconds and Lymington has pretty much all you could need in the way of shops. Very peaceful even in such close proximity to the town. Beds are comfy towels are good and the house has pretty much everything you could need for a stay. Highly recommend and well worth a visit.

Adam Oct 22

Number two is perfect for exploring Lymington and the New Forest. The house is exceptionally clean and well equipped and we felt very well looked after.

Rebecca April 2022

Great location!

Phillip April 2022

A very well equipped house that matches the description provided. A great location within easy walking distance of amenities in Lymington whilst being very quiet. Accessing the property is straightforward with easy to follow instructions. The outside space is great for alfresco eating. The items provided for very young children (travel cot / high chair / toys) are a great addition. Everything we hoped it would be.

Sandra August 2021

We are a family of 4 adults, 1 toddler and 1 small dog. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The location is fabulous, there is a carport close by to the house, as well as a parking permit which was very useful! The house is very clean and tidy. The outdoor courtyard was lovely and secure. Would definitely stay here again!

Thomas July 2021

A well equipped house and in a great location. Even though it was just around the corner from Lymington High Street, it was very quiet. It was easy to get to both the New Forest and coastal walks from here. Lots of lovely pubs, cafés and restaurants nearby, nearly all of which were dog-friendly. We would definitely recommend.

Susan Bryant June 2021

Gorgeous house - great location. Beds were amazingly comfortable! Lovely amenities!!

Laura West May 21

Lovely stay at No 2 in Lymington. House was beautifully furnished and well equipped although we were hardly there as the weather was so good! New Forest Escapes team very helpful and accommodating. We would definitely use them again.

Belinda July 2019

Very central house with great facilities and quirky design touches. Particularly loved the garden which was full of interesting features - loved the solar elephant!

Jayne and friends November 2018

This is a lovely home in a great location in the heart of Lymington.

Andrew and friends September 2018

This is a great house, centrally located in Lymington. Very comfortable, with spacious bedrooms and private parking.

Danah, Airbnb guest June 2018

Just to say what a lovely night we had in Lymington. The house was fab and perfect for our girls gathering. Your recommendations were spot on and we had cocktails at Stanwells and a lovely meal at The Haven. Lymington itself is lovely and we are hoping to make it a yearly occurrence!

Rachel Shire February 2018

Number Two is a really well appointed house in a great location near the centre of Lymington, which we found had everything we needed for a great family weekend - plenty of room for 6 adults and 2 young children. The fenced off garden area was particularly useful with a walking 2-year old! We were lucky with the weather and one evening we used the BBQ which worked very well and stayed out in the garden area until about 10pm. Can't fault the accommodation which worked very well for us and everything provided was excellent. Lymington is a really picturesque town with a thriving Saturday market and the surrounding New Forest area is lovely. Would definitely stay at Number Two again!

David from Oxford

Excellent location both for Lymington and the New Forest. Both kids and adults really enjoyed our break. Everything in the house you could possibly need and very homely. Would recommend and be very happy to re-book.
