Lovely large room at the front of the pub overlooking the road. Stayed on a Friday night and was slightly worried it would be noisy but it wasn't at all. Very peaceful. Didn't eat in the restaurant but the drinks were good value and the breakfast was first rate. Would say far much better than many farmshops we've visisted. Lovely young lady hosting breakfast.

Welcoming to our dog - little gift box. It is £25 for a dog - not £25 as it says on the hotels.com website. Handy location beside the station ( no noise) and parking behind the pub. Excellent breakfast and if in Lymington would stay again.
