Saddlers Cottage is a desirable and characterful three-storey townhouse located in the vibrant sailing town of Lymington in Hampshire, South England. The cottage can accommodate up to eight guests in its four individually themed bedrooms and is pet-friendly. The property boasts original features and stylish furnishings, including a snug sitting room with a wood-burning stove and a sociable kitchen diner with an Aga. The south-west facing rear garden offers a sunny spot for outdoor meals and drinks.
Situated just a stone's throw from the cobbled Town Quay and waterfront, Saddlers Cottage provides glimpses of sailing masts and the water from the front two bedrooms. Lymington is a bustling coastal town with cobbled streets, quirky shops, and a Georgian High Street featuring a weekly Saturday market. Guests can take a ferry from the marina to the Isle of Wight for stunning views back across the town and salt marshes.
For outdoor enthusiasts, the coastal path leading to Keyhaven starts just a short stroll or cycle from the property, passing by the Lymington Sea Water Baths with a giant inflatable course. Various beaches are easily accessible for a day out, and the New Forest National Park is a short drive or cycle away, offering miles of tracks, footpaths, and picturesque villages to explore among free-roaming ponies, cattle, and donkeys. In case of rainy days, St Barbe Museum and Art Gallery provides indoor entertainment for both children and adults.
Overall, Saddlers Cottage is a perfect base for exploring the best of both worlds - the lively town of Lymington with its maritime heritage and the natural beauty of the New Forest National Park and the South Coast beaches.
