Stanwell House

From the moment we were checked in by Phoebe and Joseph we felt thoroughly spoilt throughout our 2 nights stay. The breakfast was generous and delicious (superb poached eggs and cappuccinos!) and the restaurant is a destination in itself. If you wanted more casual dining for your 2nd night, do try the friendly Fisherman's Rest (20 min walk away) - superb choice and also very delicious! Stanwell's bar and garden provide the perfect settings for teas, and/or cocktails. We've previously stayed at The Pig, Brockenhurst and I have to say we enjoyed our experience more at Stanwell House.

Very good hotel. Friendly helpful staff. Extremely comfortable beds. Super fabrics and decor. Nice old features with modern comforts. Room was very clean. Tea and coffee provided in room. Fresh milk outside your bedroom door each morning on request. Good bathroom. Good location for shops, harbour. Food including breakfast was good. We had a little noise - I think we were over the kitchen but no noise in the night. Car park is over the road and the hotel has up and down stairs and no lift. Would not recommend upstairs rooms if you have bad mobility, otherwise we do recommend. Would happily stay there again. Thank you Stanwell House.

A splendid boutique hotel. Amazingly friendly and helpful staff. Excellent location in the heart of Lymington. The food was so good. The best mussels I've tasted for a long while. The Salt Bar served great cocktails too A real home from home feel.

Centrally located on the High street, near the Quay, Saturday market and coffee shops), with a small private car park about 100m away. The orangery (great breakfasts), dining room (huge bowl of mussels), bar (negronis to die for) and garden are very comfortable. Our double-bedded room overlooked the garden. Good to have remote controlled air-con. Fresh milk is delivered to the room in the early morning instead of the usual fiddly little tubs. All staff were very friendly and efficient and they particularly made the stay a delight.

My sister and I took my parents for an overnight stay to Stanwell House Hotel. I had read positive reviews prior to booking, and was cautiously optimistic that we would like the hotel. Our stay completely exceeded all expectations in every way. The hotel staff, without exception, were all so friendly, welcoming and polite. They were clearly well trained in the etiquette of great service for the guest. The hotel is an absolute gem, it has recently been fully refurbished and to an excellent standard. Everywhere was immaculate, stylish and elegant with plenty of quirky features and careful attention to detail. We enjoyed two upgraded rooms which were unexpected and unnecessary, but very much appreciated and both rooms had the wow factor with space, comfort, fabulously comfortable beds and glorious bathrooms. Dining in the restaurant was equally first rate and the sharing seafood platter was utterly delicious, followed by a perfectly cooked chateaubriand. Compliments to the chefs, it was faultless and good value. Finally to a delicious breakfast, we all enjoyed something different and it was all spot on. This is my first review, I usually cannot be bothered, it is entirely genuine and we have no affiliation with the hotel. Please give this charming and delightful hotel your booking, it is so much more individual and wonderful than chains such as The Pig, we have stayed in the local one and without doubt, Stanwell knocks spots off the competition! Huge well done, thank you for making our stay very special and keep up the good work, we loved it!!

We had an absolutely amazing dinner at the hotel restaurant and couldn’t recommend it enough! Thank you very much to Renata for the warm, friendly and fantastic service! Drinks and food were perfect throughout, and we would recommend everything we tried: pan fried sea bream, vegetable curry, seasonal greens, the cheese board and pineapple carpaccio - all delicious!
