Salterns Cottage, a charming accommodation in Lymington, Hampshire, offers a delightful getaway for up to four guests. Originally a small barn constructed in the 1930s, the cottage has been thoughtfully extended to include a dining room, kitchen, and a cozy conservatory. Nestled between the scenic New Forest National Park and the Solent, this cottage is ideally situated just 400 meters from the coast, marinas, and picturesque coastal walks. The vibrant High Street, with its shops, restaurants, pubs, and bustling Saturday market, is only a ten-minute stroll away, making it a perfect location for both relaxation and exploration.
The surrounding area is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, particularly dog owners and cyclists, who can easily access the sea wall and traverse the fields and marshlands. A short drive leads to the New Forest, renowned for its walking trails, horse riding opportunities, and nearby beaches at Highcliffe and Milton on Sea. For families visiting in the summer, the local sea water baths offer a variety of activities, including swimming, inflatable fun, kayaking, and paddle boarding, all conveniently located at the end of the road.
Access to Salterns Cottage is via a quiet gravel drive off Stanley Road, leading to a parking area that accommodates one or two cars. The entrance through the conservatory opens into a welcoming living room featuring a sofa, two armchairs, an open fireplace, a television, a DVD player, and Wi-Fi access. The dining room, which seats six, connects to a fully equipped kitchen, while the sunny outdoor garden area invites guests to relax with chairs, a table, a sunshade, and a barbecue. The upstairs features two bedrooms: one with a double bed and the other with two single beds, along with a bathroom equipped with a bath, WC, basin, and electric shower.
Guests are encouraged to bring their own towels, while the cottage provides heating, electricity, linen, and Wi-Fi at no extra charge. Logs and kindling for the fireplace are supplied for one or two burns, with additional supplies available locally. Pets are welcome under specific conditions, ensuring they are well-behaved, clean, and up to date on flea and tick prevention. The owners request that pets remain off furniture and out of bedrooms, and guests must clean up after their pets. With its picturesque setting and comprehensive amenities, Salterns Cottage serves as an ideal retreat for those seeking to enjoy the natural beauty and local attractions of Lymington and its surroundings.
