Nestled on the outskirts of Lymington in the grounds of Kingfisher is this spacious, single storey lodge, Lymington Lodge.

Internally, the lodge is comprised of a studio layout with open-plan living space; the kitchen boasts a contemporary finish with sleek integrated units to assist in home-cooking, whilst a sofa, armchair, and TV rest beside the woodburning stove for those cosy film nights. Appreciate a romantic dinner at the dining table before enjoying a gin and tonic on the decking and taking in the tranquil garden setting.

Lovely walks to local pubs for dinner in evenings. The gentleman who is housekeeper at the ownerâs house on site is very warm and helpful. A lovely peaceful hideaway for a couple.
Richard
Ideal location and lovely lodge. Welcoming and generous hosts. Hope to visit again.
Jason
Very comfortable bed and great location. Amazing Shower! The sofa was the only very slight fly in the ointment - designed for style over function sadly and they could do with a foot stool too. But we had a lovely stay and would definitely return.
