About the site


Nestled behind the masts of Lymington Marina, this secluded glamping cabin is the ideal getaway for couples or families wanting to unwind and recharge in nature. With spaces both outside and inside to spend quality time with one another, it is a great spot all year round. The cabin sleeps up to three (two adults and one child aged 6-11), on a cabin-style day bed that converts into a double, and a mezzanine level bed for a child. Please note that the double bed will not be made for arrival, the linen will be left in a cupboard for you to make yourself when it is time to unwind for the day. The mezzanine level bed also has no sides. You also have the option of adding a bunk room to your booking, a building separate from the cabin housing a bunk bed, great if you need to sleep two more guests. There are no facilities in this bunk room so it is recommended for teenagers. The interior is open-plan and thoughtfully designed to make the most of the space available. There is an equipped kitchenette with a dining table, floor-to-ceiling cupboards, a small convection oven, hob, sink, toaster, kettle and fridge with a small freezer compartment. You will also have a log burner, plus an ensuite with a loo, shower and sink. All towels, bedding and linen are provided. Outside there is a veranda that has a table and chairs for two which makes for an ideal spot for enjoying an evening tipple or your morning brew. The cabin is surrounded by mature trees and nature. Take the steps down from the veranda to get to your garden where there is a table and chairs for eight, if you ever have visitors over for a drink or nibble! The garden is also fenced in with a gate which gives you access to Lymington boat yard and a gastro pub. One dog is more than welcome to join you, the garden is fenced so you can let them off lead, but please note that it may be not completely secure. There are coastal walks all around the site too which make for great dog walks. There is an additional charge for dogs. BBQs and campfires are welcome, as long as they are raised from the ground. You can purchase logs and kindling from the site for the log burner, or bring your own.
