Local tip
The central Lymington location makes it practical to combine a meal or stay with time in the New Forest and along the South Coast.

Stanwell House Hotel is a boutique Georgian property at 14-15 High St in central Lymington. The hotel combines a relaxed, elegant atmosphere with comfortable accommodation and a dining offer designed for both residents and non-residents. Its setting places it between the New Forest National Park and the South Coast, making it a useful base for exploring the surrounding area and for visitors combining mainland trips with time on the Isle of Wight.

The accommodation includes a range of room types, from suites and luxury rooms to house, garden, family, terrace and loft rooms. Each room is presented as part of a home-from-home style, with individual character and considered details rather than a uniform hotel feel. The range also makes the property suitable for couples, families and guests looking for a short break in Lymington.

Dining is centred on Samphire Restaurant, with further options at Salt Bar and The Orangery. Menus draw on produce from both land and sea, with seasonal dishes and a choice of settings for different occasions. The restaurant suits a formal meal, while the bar provides a more casual place for drinks and food. The Orangery and private dining facilities add flexibility for celebrations, meetings and other group gatherings.

Inside, the hotel combines cosy corners with brighter, more open dining spaces. The overall style is polished without being overly formal, allowing guests to settle in for a meal, a drink or an overnight stay. A focus on food, service and comfortable rooms gives Stanwell House a broad appeal, from a leisurely lunch to a planned weekend in the New Forest area.

Stanwell House also provides facilities for meetings, corporate gatherings and private events. Family stays and dog-friendly arrangements are part of the hotel’s guest offering, widening its appeal beyond couples and business visitors. Its central Lymington address makes it convenient for exploring the town while retaining easy access to the coast and nearby countryside. The venue works well for guests seeking accommodation, dining or an event space in one location.
