The Boat Shed

Great cabin. A welcome escape from our mid-renovation chaos of home, thanks! Solent way was lovely. Evening drinks at The Haven and the re-opened Mayflower was good and the food at The Ship was excellent. Also check out Beaulieu.

A very relaxing, peaceful stay here- The BoatShed is compact and cosy. We loved the walk into Lymington and The Quay. We had a trip to Yarmouth on the IOW which was a lovely day out - 'On The Rocks' restaurant is highly recommended. Cook your own food on volcanic stone. Some lovely walks in the area.

Lovely place, very relaxing, easy check in and very comfortable. Would stay again.

Wonderful Little Getaway. This is a perfect, well provisioned comfortable cabin. It's in a secure, private garden close to the town and right on the coast. Highly recommend.

Loved this place. Off the beaten path, charming, peaceful and private with a nod to the woodsy maritime world of the New Forest and Lymington sailing scene.

We really appreciated our time at The Boatshed. What a wonderful spot, we could have stayed all season! We loved it, everything , simple, fortunate.

We've had a lovely stay in your lovely shed. Our son Will could have happily stayed full time. It's lovely to be so close to the harbour and it's fantastic walks and birdlife. We tend to cook quite a lot and would have appreciated a serving spoon and possibly a non stick frying pan.

We absolutely loved this place! Beautifully compact, toasty warm, fabulous location that felt tucked away, yet so close to amenities (particularly the large M&S food, which is a short drive away!). The layout is very cleverly thought through, the combination of log burner & electric heater kept it toasty warm. It was very peaceful and just what we needed to escape from’ real life’. When we couldn’t work out how to operate the outside lights the New Forest Escapes provided absolutely first class service - I felt incredibly well looked after. Surely the biggest compliment of all is that we would go back at the drop of a hat!

It was a beautiful, cosy cabin, though not very suitable for kids as the space is quite small. It has a lovely garden and is located in a very quiet area.

We had a lovely, cosy, and relaxing stay at The Boat Shed. We got the train to Brockenhurst and did the Tall Trees Circular in the pouring rain. We loved the Kings Head pub & Coffee & Drift in town. Overall gorgeous little cabin to escape the city. Thank you

We've had a fabulous mini honeymoon! We don't want to leave! Thank you so much for the cake, fizz and flowers for our welcome! Hopefully we can come back each year for our anniversary! Thank you so much.

The Boat shed has everything you need for a stay. The kitchen is compact but well equipped, the pull out bed is very comfortable and there is plenty of space to relax in front of the fire. The shower is also hot and good pressure. The secluded garden makes for a great spot for a quiet cup of tea. A fantastic find and I may well be back.

Lovely stay, fabulous walks, highly recommend The Haven for drinks and dinner.

Thank you for having us at The Boatshed - we love Lymington.

Super location and a lvely (too short!) stay.

Lovely, secluded spot. We enjoyed sitting out on the deck. Watch out for falling acorns though :) We ate at The Fisherman's Rest (15 min walk away) and The Ship Inn on the riverside. Would recommend both. We drove up to Brockenhurst and Beaulieu and Milford and Keyhaven (and took the ferry to Hurst Castle). We had a really lovely time.

Another great stay at The Boatshed! Thank you.

Lovely place hidden away in an amazing location! Came here with my mum as an away trip and it was great and I loved Lymington . Great weekend away and got my ears pierced! Thank you so much!

Great stay and location - and thoughtful touches

Lovely stay. Very relaxing couple of days. Thank you for a yummy cake – very kind. We will definitely be back to Lymington.

A perfect location for a few child-free nights away – thank you! We walked the coastal path to Keyhaven then took the ferry to Hurst Castle – highly recommend! Other lovely walks from the doorstep too – we’ve not used the car since we arrived! Thanks for a lovely stay – we hope to be back!

We have had a wonderful stay! It has been nice to spend time without the distraction of TVs and WiFi. Our son has loved his loft bed (see message below!) and the hut has been perfect for the three of us. Thanks! I have loved it and I love my bedroom. Thank you. It was so good! From Max (Aged 6!)

Thank you for a lovely stay- perfect base for a weekend exploring the area. We thought leaving us BBQ coals, cake and wine were lovely extra touches. Thank you.

Thank you so much for the cake and milk. Much appreciated after a far journey. We loved The Boat Shed and the extension, this is such a beautiful area and we've had a great time- Thank you.

Lymington is so fine, We hiked around The New Forest Pine, We leave teary eyed.

We had a great stay at The Boatshed, accommodation small but perfectly formed. The only addition that would be great would be a washing line to dry wet swim stuff after fun days. Thank you.

What a lovely space! Our annual 3 men trip was very well served. Cycling on our triplet (3 man bike) across the stunning New Forest landscape. Horses swimming, foals frolicking. Finished off with a bbq and cognac. Perfect.

Ideal base for our 5 day cycle tour from Twyford, through the beautiful New Forest and Isle of Wight. Loving the sparse but clever functional design - wish other accommodation put as much thought into a building for living space. Top notch!

The boat shed is a gorgeous venue, perfectly situated to explore Lymington and the new forest. Shame the exterior lights weren’t still working, but the log burner keeps you very toasty inside. Would definitely recommend!

Fantastic time at the shed. Thank you.

Wonderfully compact open plan accommodation in a private, quiet location right at the heart of the boating community in Lymington. Well laid out given its size, with the benefit of off street parking. Would really recommend for a short stay for 2 to 4 people.

What a little gem! We loved our visit to Lymington and The Boat Shed. The balcony was especially peaceful in the evenings. Great weather & walks. We had a tasty meal at The Mayflower - what a beautiful town and area! We will definitely return.

Lovely little place, thanks for having us!

My friends and I love staying in The Boat Shed for a couple of nights! It is so easy to get into Lymington to explore and eat, yet when you’re in the hut it is totally peaceful and you feel worlds away. 10/10 would definitely recommend, and hope to stay again!

We had a great stay! Our favourites - the houses in the New Forest and crabbing over the bridge at Milford on Sea. Thank you for everything.

We have had a lovely time, 100% coming back here again. We have enjoyed walking to town, seeing wild horses and crabbing. Thanks.

Our 2nd stay in the Boatshed! We absolutely love it here, so peaceful and in the perfect location to walk into town. We had a very relaxing much needed escape! Thank you. We also love the garden.

The Boatshed is lovely, it is very cosy and a great location to stay. It is very well equipped the only thng lacking was a microwave but everything else you could need. It was nice touch to have milk and cake on arrival and very much appreciated. Would definitely recommend. Thank you.

Wonderful location on the edge of Lymington and the ocean. Wake up, birds are singing and panoramic windows. We had a fantastic weekend away from city

We have had a wonderful stay at The Boatshed. The space has been beautifully designed with everything that you need for a short stay with a warm and cosy feel. The location is fantastic and we enjoyed exploring Lymington with some lovely coastline walks. Highly recommend The Mayflower and The Ship Inn for food and drinks too. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Really nice place to relax and good responsive hosts. Would definitely recommend :)

5 stars! We had a lovely weekend break at The Boat House, relaxed straight away. Great communication with the host & exactly as described. It was a wet weekend & we enjoyed relaxing in the calm space with the wood burner fire. Perfect place to explore The New Forest & switch off from busy city life! Thanks :)

Had a lovely stay at The Boatshed! Came with everything you could need an in a lovely location!

What a perfect place! We had. wonderful few days in the Hut. The Boatshed is such a lovely place.

Lovely place, very quiet and peaceful, but so close to historic town of Lymington and everything there is to see and do. We celebrated midsummer with a family barbeque. I really liked the design of my bed and the garden was pretty - guest 8 years old. One of the best staycations we have had in England. Thanks to the host & team!

Very good communication, great location and nice tiny house.

Such a happy place! Very comfortable for three adults, and we've had a lovely time. Shed so pretty and quiet at night and in such a great location. Easy walk into Lymington and so easy to get to the paths over the marshes (go into the yacht haven for the public footpath). Back to reality now, but hope to be back. P.S Thank you for the milk and cake.

We had a restful time in a peaceful location. Simply loved sitting on the edge of the marina and watching the boats go by. Strolling through the nature reserve and eating ice cream (so many flavours!) were definite highlights of our stay. The Hut itself is charming, eating breakfast on the decking is wonderful and we loved the bunk bed. Also would recommend The Mayflower next door for great food. Thank you for a beautiful stay (with lovely weather) and we'd love to come back again.

We had a great stay. The accommodation has everything you need, plenty of hot water and was really clean and tidy.

It was a lovely place to stay and nice and local to Lymington for a short walk to everything!

We enjoyed lovely weather and loved staying in the beautiful and comfortable BoatShed - even better than the photos! So tranquil. Also conveniantely located near to the Mayflower. We enjoyed a day trip to Milford and and walked the Solent Way to Keyhaven. Things we are planning next time - Keyhaven ferry to Hurst Castle and a swim in the sea water baths, we simply ran out of time. Thank you so much for hosting us :)

What a fantastic stay! We love The BoatShed. Followed in the footsteps of previous guests enjoying the walk to Hurst Castle, fabulous walk, awesome views and the wildlife was amazing. Can't wait to come back!

We absolutely loved our stay here! The Boat Shed is so cosy and private but sitting outside in the evenings still makes it feel spacious and open. There's lots to do and we wish we could have stayed longer. We brought our cavapoo with us and she through this was the best place ever, she settled immediately and started exploring as soon as she could. The little touches the host left made it even nicer to come in to. The place was so tidy and comfortable and we cannot wait to come back again.

The Boatshed was amazing! A gem of a hideaway, but so close to all amenities and the harbour-side. Accommodation was cool in design yet really cosy and comfortable. The boat shed was very clean and we had everything we could have needed for our stay. Would highly recommend :)

Perfect location to get away from the hustle abs bustle of life.The boatshed was immaculate, cosy and peaceful. Amazing location: the mayflower pub was a lifesaver and my dog loved the little enclosed garden. We had an amazing time. Recommended!

Nice and peaceful location and hand for the pub on arrival (The Mayflower). Easy access to the Solent path and walked to Hurst Castle taking in the wildlife enroute. Nice day trip with X1 back to Lymington. Good luck with the planning application so we can return with the family another time.

We don't want to go! So laid back and what a lovely area, we are going to see if there is any space to come back for a week next spring. Loved the tranquility. Have a great time whatever comes next. Thanks NFE team x

Thanks for a wonderful stay. The perfect coastal escape from busy city life!

We have had a lovely stay at The BoatShed. It is a great base for exploring both the forest and coast. Just a note there is only one wine glass in the cupboard and would be good to have some plastic ones for the garden. Some cushions for the garden would make it more comfortable on a summers evening. We hope to return again soon.

What a wonderful place to stay! We enjoyed a lovely week in Lymington, explored all the local attractions and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The BoatShed is so comfy and we were very comfortable and cosy. The garden is also so lovely, that honeysuckle!! Thanks for having us, all the best.

Celebrated our 2nd wedding anniversary here and had a lovely time. Excellent location near to the Mayflower Pub and great walks along the coast to Hurst Castle with the dog.

We had a lovely few days at the boat house. Such a peaceful, cosy place. Loved waking up to birdsong and walking along the sea walls. The ladder to the upper bed was a challenge for us oldies, so beware it is a vertical 7 foot! Sofa bed was fine though. Clever, compactly designed mini home. The dog loved it, hopefully worth the £50 cleaning charge. Very good communication and directions. Thanks.

Great location, quiet, tucked away, and very sweet. Pull out bed a little impractical, but otherwise well equipped and we enjoyed the little terrace and lighting. Lack of wi fi not a problem for us, 4g was usable, but take books, wine and enjoy the silence. We loved Lymington, and the hut is perfect for accessing the coastal path ( Salterns Way)

Great location, great walks, great pubs!

The Hut was perfect for our stay, oodles of atmosphere and the bird song in the morning was really special. Even though we were in a really accessible location in Lymington, you feel really tucked away in a little oasis. Clean, all mod cons, really organised hosts. We felt off the grid but we weren’t so it was exactly what we wanted for a relaxing week to switch off.

Beautiful, relaxing and a very different place to stay. The mezzanine is very cosy but definitely just for kids or the very nimble! The location is great for the town and the estuary.

Such a lovely setting, we had a really nice break with our little dog. Perfect to explore Lymington and the New Forest. We loved it and would love to come back.

Unique accommodation in a fabulous location

What a lovely little cabin! Fantastic location, lovely secret garden and warm as toast log burner. Bathroom is modest in size, some larger folk may struggle to get into the shower!

We had a fantastic weekend in a tardis -like boat shed that is extremely well finished and furnished. Yes it’s a sofa bed but very comfortable! Lovely quiet spot but close to town and marina. Thanks for having us

A lovely cosy hide away - we loved it!

Great little place for few days. Perfect location, secluded. Good for town and coast. Compact but comfortable and well equipped. Lovely to listen to sounds of trees and boats

We had such an amazing time here, was so cosy and quiet, location is perfect can’t wait to visit again

Was really lovey stay here ❤️

A great location just outside of the town - peaceful and quiet after a busy day in Lymington. Only a 10 minute walk - which is a nice walk too. The Hut is a lovely ‘tiny’ home - with everything you need for a perfect stay in it. It was well described and met all expectations. The sleeping arrangement in the mezzanine means you have to be good at climbing the steps to get up to it! A lovely space and would definitely go back!!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Boat Shed, very comfortable and private...a great hideaway in a great location to explore Lymington! We will definitely be back, thank you!

The boat shed is a great place for a mini break, within easy walking distance of Lymington town. The property is small but comfortable making it ideal for couples. We found it a very peaceful which is great if you're looking for somewhere to relax but also handy for visiting all the lovely nearby new forest spots.

Beautiful little hide away, great location to explore from!

From the word go communication was excellent. My partner and I wanted to relax and 'be off the grid' a bit, no WiFi and TV certainly helped. Lymington itself is a lovely seaside village and the Hut was close enough to walk but further away enough to be away from the action.

Thank you for organising our stay at short notice. We had a lovely couple of days and loved The Boat Shed. Highly recommended. A snug little den to rest between beautiful long walks. All in all it’s a wonderful place to stay. Many thanks Andy.

We stayed in the Boat Shed in Lymington with our 3 month old daughter and two sausage dogs (her first ever holiday). Sarah in particular was so helpful in suggesting lovely baby and dog friendly things to do and places to eat. She ensured we had everything we needed and offered her assistance throughout our stay. The Boat Shed was wonderfully peaceful and we loved the simplicity of it. It is beautifully located for lovely walks, stunning scenery and plenty to do, even in cold January.

Fabulous, stylish, secluded accommodation in Lymington, a delightful town on the edge of the New Forest. Sunday lunch at the pub a few doors down is not to be missed. All in all a great trip, expertly hosted. Thank you for accommodating us at The Boat Shed, we had a fab time and would re-book another visit in a heart beat. In fact we will when we get the opportunity!

We had a great short break at the Boat Shed. An excellent location for walking and just a short stroll into town. The 'Hut' is ideal for a couple. A little cosy at bed time for 2 children on the mezzanine but the living area is plenty big enough, well designed & the log burner ideal on a crisp Autumn evening. I would definitely recommend the Hut for a short stay any time of year. Whether you enjoyed sailing, walking or just as a retreat.

The team at New Forest Escapes are super helpful, the accommodation is relaxing and serene, located in amongst some of the the New Forests most popular destinations. Also great having the Mayflower pub right next door and Haven Bar close by.

What a beautiful and cleverly designed space. The pictures do not do it justice. It was much more spacious than we were expecting and the garden area is also a lovely size. We could see the sun rise through the windows in the morning and it is in such a great location for walks and short drives to explore other parts of the New Forest. Great pubs nearby and it was lovely being so close to the sea.

What a great little find. My 9 year old daughter and I have just returned from a 2 night stay at The Boat Shed. It was perfect for us. We found it in sparkling clean condition and the bathroom is surprisingly spacious for such a compact space. The kitchen had everything you need, even a proper oven, microwave which feels much more than it mentions in the description. The wood burning stove is perfect for the autumn evenings and heated the whole of the boat shed very efficiently. Outside, there are delightful lights that run around the bat shed and though the trees that make it feel very special. The boat shed is in a truly super location. You're a stones throw from the Solent where you can admire the yachts and take in all the boating activity around you, get an ice cream or go to the children's park.

Dear Robyn and Rachel. I just wanted to say thank you for being so last minute and flexible, allowing Flynn and myself to stay at the Boatshed. It was a bit of a dream come true, in away as we have watched so many of the "tiny houses" series and always wondered if we could experience the down sizing. It felt like luxury with very comfortable beds and lining plus we loved the thick fluffy towel - it felt wrong to even use the floor mat as a mat! We loved the way you could escape out the double gates at the back. As the weather was mixed over our couple of days, and we returned back to base a couple of times like drowned rats we were grateful to be able to light the log burner - would love to do a winter retreat here as log burner kicks out some heat! (I know you did warn us).

We had a fab holiday at the Boat Shed. A perfect little hideaway for a peaceful break. The Boat Shed is set down a beautiful leafy lane in the heart of Lymington. A very cosy little accommodation with all you need for your stay. Well equipped kitchen area with basic items provided, plus a welcome bottle of wine. Cosy large sofa bed. Small bathroom, but a great shower. Outside has a lovely little terrace. Very private and a great view of all the boats. The location is perfect. All the good restaurants and coffee bars are within walking distance. Also the Keyhaven nature reserve is a beautiful walk, with an abundance of Wildlife. We will definitely return to the Boat Shed and recommend it for a lovely little peaceful break.
