Family Holiday Cottages in Lymington

Lymington is a great choice for families who like the mix of a proper New Forest town and easy access to the water. Staying in a family holiday cottage in Lymington puts you close to the cobbled quay, marinas and High Street, where you can watch boats come and go, walk the Solent Way or wander down to Lymington Sea Water Baths for saltwater swimming, inflatables and paddleboards in a lifeguarded setting. On quieter days, St Barbe Museum and Art Gallery gives children an easy way into the area’s coastal and New Forest stories.

Family days might include crabbing from the quay, a play in the park and a dip in the sea water baths, or even a ferry trip over to Yarmouth on the Isle of Wight for a change of scene. When energy starts to dip, you have cafés, pubs and ice cream spots close at hand, plus your cottage for a hot shower, simple supper and a quiet hour before bed. A self-catering stay in Lymington makes it easy to balance town, coast and forest, with space to dry swim gear, store buggies and keep everyone’s routines on track.
