A visit can be paired with time exploring Lymington and the nearby New Forest.

Bosun's Chair Public House is a traditional English pub and boutique hotel on Station Street in Lymington. Set in a coastal Hampshire town with the New Forest nearby, it suits visitors looking for a relaxed base for time in the area, including travel connected with the Isle of Wight.

The pub serves British food alongside real ales, with a cosy interior that fits the character of a classic local drinking and dining venue. Food service includes weekday lunch and a Sunday roast, giving the kitchen a straightforward British focus across casual daytime and weekend occasions. The venue is also family friendly, making it suitable for mixed-age visits as well as informal meals and drinks.

Outdoor space is a significant part of the offer. A large secure beer garden provides room for drinks and relaxed gatherings, while a stretch tent allows the outdoor area to support events and live sports. The garden and covered outdoor space add flexibility for seasonal visits, group occasions and organised entertainment.

As a small hotel as well as a public house, Bosun's Chair offers en-suite accommodation in single and double rooms. The rooms were refurbished with comfort and design in mind, and double rooms include king-size beds and spa toiletries. This makes the venue suitable for visitors seeking an overnight stay close to Lymington's town setting, as well as for local residents visiting for food, drinks or events.

The venue also handles functions and weddings, so enquiries can cover more than a standard pub visit. Its combination of British cooking, real ale, family-friendly facilities, outdoor space, accommodation and event provision gives Bosun's Chair a broad role in Lymington, from a casual lunch stop to a base for a longer stay.
