“Bosuns Chair strikes me as a well-situated base for Lymington exploration, mere steps from both the railway and the town's quay. I particularly appreciate the blend of a lively pub atmosphere-complete with real ales and live sports-with the quiet comfort of refurbished rooms. Add to that the promise of a hearty breakfast, and I find the Bosuns Chair a solid choice.”

Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Bosuns Chair from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Bosuns Chair is appreciated for its delicious breakfast, which many describe as fantastic, and the food overall receives high praise, with a menu that focuses on quality. Guests find the location excellent, as it's conveniently close to Lymington town centre and the train station, making it easy to explore the quay and high street. The rooms are noted for their unique and beautiful decoration, with some being particularly spacious and well-equipped; however, some guests have noted that traffic noise from the nearby railway station can be heard in the front rooms. The hotel is also dog-friendly, providing water and snacks for furry companions, and the garden offers a pleasant space to relax.

Acceptable Stay with Disappointing Room Conditions

black mold small room
The staff were friendly and helpful.
The bathroom had black mold and missing tiles. It really needed an update. The television did not work properly, and wires were visible throughout the room. The room was also quite small. There was not enough space to move around comfortably.
