Starboard Light is a well-received cottage in Lymington, praised for its cleanliness, charming decor, and prime location close to amenities and the harbour. Guests appreciate the cosy atmosphere, comfortable furnishings, and the thoughtful touches such as a welcome pack. While some noted minor issues with facilities and road noise, the overall sentiment is positive, with many expressing a desire to return.
The cottage is consistently described as clean and well-presented. A few isolated comments mention areas that could be improved, such as window condensation and a leaky toilet, but these do not detract significantly from the overall high standards of cleanliness.
The location is highly regarded due to its proximity to the town centre, quay, and local amenities. The convenience of nearby car parks and the inclusion of a parking pass are frequently mentioned. Some guests noted the busy road and lack of private parking, but these were known in advance and did not majorly impact the positive views on location.
Guests find the cottage cosy and the bed comfortable, with a few suggesting improvements such as softer sofas and better pillows. The presence of road noise and steep stairs were minor discomforts for some.
The cottage is well-equipped, with many guests satisfied with the amenities provided. However, there are suggestions for additional facilities such as a washing machine over a dishwasher, and comments on the need for better seating and heating options. Some maintenance issues like condensation and a non-functioning fan were also noted.

'Starboard Light’ is a quaint terraced cottage full of maritime charm. Nestled amidst the hustle-and-bustle of the riverside market town of Lymington, just a stone’s throw from the High Street, it offers a cosy contemporary home away from home, with everything you could possibly need during your break. Set in the old Georgian part of the town directly on Captains Row, you will be perfectly situated to make the most of Lymington’s pubs, weekly Saturday market, famous marinas, coastal walks, boutique shops, restaurants and the historic and picturesque cobbled Quay Hill and Town Quay - all of these together with the New Forest National Park and the Isle of Wight both being within easy reach, 10 minutes’ drive and a short hop on the local ferry respectively, you will have lots of options for exploring this fantastic area where coast meets Forest. Upon entering the cottage, you will find an open-plan living area, where you can rustle up a home-cooked meal, dine in style and then curl up and unwind on the sofa, in front of the fire. As the evening draws to a close, the stairs up from the kitchen lead to the spacious airy bedroom, with its king-size bed, crisp cotton bedding and a large sash window where in the morning you can check out the views over the rooftops to the river and neighbouring marinas - a beautiful view to wake to and watch as you have your coffee. Adjoining the bedroom is a well-appointed bathroom, with bath tub and shower above. ‘Starboard Light’ is a wonderful retreat for a couple’s break to this part of Hampshire.
