Guests that stayed at this property said
The majority of guests found the cottage to be spotlessly clean and well-presented. A few mentioned issues with condensation and a leaky toilet, but these seem to be isolated incidents rather than a common trend.
The location is highly praised for its proximity to the town centre, quay, and local amenities. The convenience of nearby car parks and the inclusion of a parking pass are frequently mentioned as benefits.
Guests generally find the cottage comfortable, with a particularly comfy bed and well-furnished rooms. Some guests mentioned the sofa being hard and the road noise, but overall, the comfort level is deemed satisfactory.
The cottage is well-equipped, with most guests satisfied with the kitchen and amenities. However, some suggested improvements such as the addition of a washing machine over a dishwasher, better seating options, and updates to the bathroom facilities.
Guests often mention the thoughtful gestures, such as welcome cards and champagne, which add to the charm of their stay. While these gifts are appreciated, it is noted that such personal touches are subject to the owner's discretion and may not be guaranteed.
About this property
'Starboard Light’ is a quaint terraced cottage full of maritime charm. Nestled amidst the hustle-and-bustle of the riverside market town of Lymington, just a stone’s throw from the High Street, it offers a cosy contemporary home away from home, with everything you could possibly need during your break. Set in the old Georgian part of the town directly on Captains Row, you will be perfectly situated to make the most of Lymington’s pubs, weekly Saturday market, famous marinas, coastal walks, boutique shops, restaurants and the historic and picturesque cobbled Quay Hill and Town Quay - all of these together with the New Forest National Park and the Isle of Wight both being within easy reach, 10 minutes’ drive and a short hop on the local ferry respectively, you will have lots of options for exploring this fantastic area where coast meets Forest. Upon entering the cottage, you will find an open-plan living area, where you can rustle up a home-cooked meal, dine in style and then curl up and unwind on the sofa, in front of the fire. As the evening draws to a close, the stairs up from the kitchen lead to the spacious airy bedroom, with its king-size bed, crisp cotton bedding and a large sash window where in the morning you can check out the views over the rooftops to the river and neighbouring marinas - a beautiful view to wake to and watch as you have your coffee. Adjoining the bedroom is a well-appointed bathroom, with bath tub and shower above. ‘Starboard Light’ is a wonderful retreat for a couple’s break to this part of Hampshire.
Lymington is a market town on the west bank of the Lymington River at the western end of The Solent, close to the New Forest National Park.

Spotlessly clean, it's a great location, close to the quay, shops, pubs and restutants, all being a short walk away. Bed was super comfy. We enjoyed the games too. We bought our small dog as its dog friendly, no out door space but dog park nearby. I'd like to say thank you to the complimentary items, such as fresh bread, butter, juice, jams etc. Was very much appreciated. Really lovely cottage and I'd like to say, having seen a negative review recently that I absolutely disagree with that review this is a lovely place and is exactly what is stated in the description.

The compact space is well designed and thought out with a well designed kitchen stocked with a useful set of equipment. The cottage was very clean. The location is great with easy access to lots of walking, local transport and the town a minutes walk away. The parking system worked very well. The only thing I would have appreciated was a recycling facility rather than putting everything in the bin. There was a requirement for me to call the management company to report an issue but after I had left a message I received a call back quickly.
