Bosun's locker is well located for a short walk to the marina and also high street. It's bright and airy and stayed cold throughout our visit which was a bonus seeing as we were experiencing a heatwave in the UK at the time. The 3 story building is light, comfortable and has everything that you need for an enjoyable stay. Parking clock is a great addition to the overall booking as with limited parking around the accommodation, we could park down the road and not have to worry about additional funds to spend on parking our vehicle. Michele was lovely to deal with and instructions were detailed and easy to follow with regards to check in/departure and expectations for our stay. Would love to visit again.

Another great break at Bosun’s Locker, we love it there. A wine tour and tasting at Setley Ridge was a good morning out and easily accessible from Lymington.

We had a great time at Bosuns locker. The house was lovely and clean and very cosy. All amenities are very nearby. Fantastic view over the Quay from the upstairs room window. We had a wonderful stay.
