About this property

Salterns Cottage , Lymington , Hampshire , England

Salterns Cottage .
Originally a small barn built in the 1930s this cottage has been gradually extended to provide a dining room,kitchen and small conservatory and provides accommodation for upto 4 persons in two bedrooms. Located in the pretty coastal market town of Lymington bordering the New Forest National Park on one side and the shores of the Solent on the other, the cottage is some 400 metres from the sea, marinas and coastal walks around the sea wall which stretches as far as Keyhaven and yet is only ten minutes walk away from the High Street, it's shops, restaurants ,pubs and busy Saturday Market. There is plenty to do and watch without getting into a car, particularly of interest to dog owners and cyclists who can just walk or ride out onto the sea wall and through fields and marshland. A short car ride ,however, will take you out into the Forest with it's walks , horse riding facilities and the beaches at Highcliffe and Milton on Sea. For Youngsters in the summer there's also the revamped sea water baths with swimming, inflateable fun, kayaking, paddle boarding etc just at the end of the road.
Access to the cottage is gained via a short gravel drive (so it's quiet) off Stanley Road to a parking area in front of the cottage. Entrance via the conservatory leads into the living room with a sofa and two armchairs , open fire place, television, DVD player and WIFI access. On then to the dining room with seating for six and the kitchen and outside to a sunny (hopefully) paved garden with chairs,table , sun shade and Barbeque. A short hallway leads to a cloakroom then upstairs to a landing with mirrored wardrobe, Bedroom 1 with double bed , chest of drawers and bedside chests , bedroom 2 with two single beds, chest of drawers and bedside chests. Finally a bathroom with bath , WC and basin an electric shower and further shower off the mains at the tap end.
The parking area can accommodate one or two cars , there is further parking on the road immediately outside the drive on Stanley Road. The cottage is situated close to the owners house and oak framed garages which can provide shelter for bicycles. The kitchen is fully equipped including washing machine, fridge/freezer, dishwasher etc as you would expect. Hairdryer in bathroom. Guests are requested to provide their own towels otherwise heating,electricity ,linen, WIFI are all included. Logs and kindling are provided for one or two burns but otherwise supplies can be obtained from local garages. Changeover dates Friday 4pm until following Friday 10am. Please note pets are accepted on the strict understanding that they are kept under control, are well behaved, clean, up to date with flea and tick prevention so and are not permitted in any of the bedrooms or on the furniture. Please clear up after your dog if necessary. Please advise if pets will be staying and number of pets.

Schöner Urlaub
Wir hatten eine sehr schöne Zeit hier. Das Ferienhaus war viel größer als erwartet, auch wenn einige Sachen etwas in die Jahre gekommen sind, hat es uns nicht weiter gestört. Es gibt viel zu sehen in der Umgebung, meist mit Auto, aber man kann auch schön wandern durch das Naturschutzgebiete.

Lymington Salters Cottage
Property was tired and not as shown. Not clean. We had light bulbs that didn’t work, chipped crockery, a small tv with a router that kept the screen image blinking throughout programmes and then to cap it all a blocked sink in the downstairs toilet. We left before the end of our stay. Would never go back.

About the host

Hosted by David Norton

Host profile image
Hi I'm David I worked in Shipping in London where I lived with my wife and two children In 1983 we bought a cob cottage in Brockenhurst and loved the area so much that we moved full time down here in 1990. My wife died two years later and with the kids into University in 1999 I moved to Lymington into 'Pippins' 25 Stanley Road and in 2003 bought 'Salterns Cottage' which is down a gravel drive alongside 'Pippins'. In 2011 I started work on a new eco house at the back of 'Pippins' formerly occupied by several decrepit garages and I now live in the new House (25A or The Outback as we call it) I retired from Shipping in 1998 and 'Pippins' is rented out on a long term basis but Salterns Cottage makes an ideal holiday cottage.
Apart from looking after the properties, I have a boat in lymington and I tend t0 spend a month or so away on the boat in the summer.

Why they chose this property

The cottage is a 'Tardis' and has a considerable amount of room and goes back a long way. There's an enclosed ,quiet ,sunlit garden at the rear (animals are enclosed) The cottage is simple but comfortable and has everything required . Other points of interest/benefits are outlined in the property description.

What makes this property unique

While living in London we first of all rented a cottage In Barton and so loved the area that we eventually bought our own cottage in Brockenhurst. Whether you like walking , sailing, horse riding swimming the area has everything and the cottage is 10 minutes walk from the high street and it's market, restuarants and pubs, indeed there are several pubs within a few minutes walk,
