Durlston House

Durlston House is a bed and breakfast in a large detached home on Gosport Street, close to the centre of Lymington. The High Street is around a minute’s walk away, placing the property within easy reach of the town’s shops, pubs, restaurants and historic market-town setting.

The accommodation has en-suite bedrooms in a range of sizes, including single, double, triple and family rooms. Upstairs and downstairs bedrooms are available, making the layout suitable for different types of stay. Each room includes tea and coffee-making facilities, a clock radio and hairdryer, while the overall style is comfortable, practical and homely.

A substantial cooked English breakfast is served, with vegetarian and special diets catered for by arrangement. The house aims for a warm, friendly atmosphere, making it suited to relaxed short breaks, activity-based stays and occasions when several rooms are needed together. Large groups can arrange exclusive use of the property, which can work well for celebrations, gatherings and organised trips.

Durlston House is positioned for exploring both the coast and the New Forest. Lymington’s quay and marinas are popular with yachtsmen, while nearby activities include cycling, sailing, walking and fishing. Dogs are welcome, with the New Forest providing plenty of countryside for outdoor exploration. Parking is available at the property, and the accommodation is non-smoking.

The location also makes travel to the Isle of Wight straightforward, with the ferry terminal a few minutes’ drive away. Other nearby attractions include the National Motor Museum at Beaulieu, Buckler’s Hard and the nature reserves at Lymington and Keyhaven. Gardens at Exbury and Mottisfont, along with the coastal towns of Hampshire and Dorset, provide further options for day trips.

For evenings, the short walk into Lymington means that restaurants and pubs can be reached without driving. Durlston House can also help arrange a reservation at a local pub or restaurant. With accommodation available throughout the year, the property provides a convenient base for exploring the town, harbour, forest and surrounding coast.
