Across many reviews, The Mayflower earns praise for friendly, welcoming staff, spacious comfortable rooms with modern bathrooms and some marina views, excellent breakfasts and enjoyable dinners, plus a quiet, convenient location near Lymington’s marina, coastal walks, and the New Forest.
Parking and a large beer garden are appreciated, and the pub is dog friendly. Common downsides include tired or scuffed areas, occasional cleanliness or maintenance issues, and some room niggles such as bright emergency lights, heat from radiators, TV problems, or early morning delivery noise. A few guests also mentioned early restaurant closing and occasional billing or service hiccups. Expect a comfortable stay in a scenic marina-side setting.

Perfectly dog friendly accommodation. My hounds could come to dinner and breakfast and just hang out with me in the bar. The rooms are spacious and clean with a wonderful comfy bed. Local area to explore, dogs welcome, and an exhilarating solent walk. Went to unwind with my babies and we did just that! Oh and the food was just fab, huge portions and very beautifully presented. Well done Mayflower, i felt welcomed.

Stayed for two nights and really enjoyed our stay.Was greeted by very friendly staff who showed us to our room which had a balcony with lovely views of the sea and Isle of Wight in the distance. Room was very spacious with a very comfortable bed. Had dinner one of the evening’s and I must say was probably one of the best burgers I’ve ever had,My wife had the fish and chips and was as happy as me with her choice. Breakfast was very nice too. Lovely big beer garden with plenty of seating area. Would definitely visit The Mayflower again 5 ⭐️

Good points: We (1 adult, two kids) stayed in the Aston Suite and there was plenty of space. The bed was comfortable and large. The bathroom was in good condition and the water pressure was exceptional. There was parking at the pub and EV charging in the public car park at the back of the pub. Not so good: When i booked the room i received confirmation at one price from Expedia and another confirmation from the Mayflower for £25 more. I called to see what was going on and was told it was an extra guest fee, then it was for breakfast - neither was true. On arrival I was assured it was an issue with Expedia and i would only be charged the amount Expedia had confirmed. Luckily I checked my credit card before i checked out because I'd been charged an extra £36. Again told this is an Expedia issue. This all tainted the experience. The refund hasnt come through yet, so yet more chasing and complaining.

The overall condition of the hotel was appalling, from the minute you draw up outside and then climb the stairs to the overrated oddly decorated room. The staff were beyond amazing and the food was excellent, and the room itself was spotless. Such a shame about the initial sight, and the filthy hall and stair carpet. And the lack of any comfort in the bedroom except for the bed. And why is the bathroom mirror almost on the ceiling? All I could see was my forehead. It was a perfect situation for a lovely stay. What a shame it is going to rack and ruin.

We really enjoyed our stay at The Mayflower. The rooms are very clean, comfortable and modern. Nespresso coffee machines included. The pub serves well kept beer and is nice an cosy with a real log fire. Breakfast was excellent with a full monty breakfast that showed that the chef cared about what was on our plates. The location is a short 10 minute walk from the centre of Lymington and it has ample free parking.

We were pleased that our room had a view over the marina, which was lovely. Fascinating watching the Isle of Wight ferry come and go. The ensuite was nicely decorated, and modern, but the overhead shower head could do with replacing as water came out of only about half the holes. Lovely toiletries provided. The room looked lovely, but there are many paint chips and scuffs. Downstairs, the food was really good. Breakfast also tasty, though I'd have liked cereals to be available as well. Overall, it served our purposes well, but the whole place could do with a big tidy up.

The pub is charming to look at and the meal was nice but our room was shocking. There was mould on one of the bathroom towels and when we woke up my partner found a toenail clipping stuck to his arm and he was covered in little black bugs! I complained and received a discount on my food bill. Strange customer service as my meal was the best part of the stay and received no complaints from us.

We booked this last minute just as we arrived in Lymington - and the staff were all really friendly and helpful - we booked a table for dinner which was really good. Room was perfect - only small thing was that the emergency light above the door was really bright - and I’m sure this is out of their control. Breakfast was spot on and again the staff were lovely. Will definitely go back.

Good points: We (1 adult, two kids) stayed in the Aston Suite and there was plenty of space. The bed was comfortable and large. The bathroom was in good condition and the water pressure was exceptional. There was parking at the pub and EV charging in the public car park at the back of the pub. Not so good: When i booked the room i received confirmation at one price from Expedia and another confirmation from the Mayflower for £25 more. I called to see what was going on and was told it was an extra guest fee, then it was for breakfast - neither was true. On arrival I was assured it was an issue with Expedia and i would only be charged the amount Expedia had confirmed. Luckily I checked my credit card before i checked out because I'd been charged an extra £36. Again told this is an Expedia issue. This all tainted the experience. The refund hasnt come through yet, so yet more chasing and complaining.

Location
The marina-side location is a highlight, with easy walks to Lymington’s quay and High Street, nature reserves, and the New Forest; many mention quiet surroundings and good access to the ferry. Some found it a longer walk to town than expected.

We were a bit further from the town than I thought . The bed and pillows were very comfortable. The hotel was a bit run down . The staff were extremely friendly.

Lovely hotel in a perfect location for the nature reserve not far from town either. Friendly and efficient team of staff, including a very good chef. Very comfortable.

We had a fantastic stay at the Mayflower. The room was spacious and comfortable, the breakfasts were excellent. It's close to numerous walks around Lymington & Keyhaven nature reserve. We will be back.

The Mayflower is a 15 minute walk to the High Street. It is tucked away down by the marina and yacht clubs. Brilliant rooms and good breakfast. One small niggle is the pub closes at 10pm.

Excellent stay - the location is great and a nice walk to the town centre & Quayside as well as an easy drive through the New Forest - the room was lovely & spacious & the bed extremely comfortable! The shower was one of the best hotel showers I have used! The food was excellent especially the breakfast - and finally the staff, they were brilliant!!!!!! At times the pub was very busy yet the staff were always kind & cheerful & the service they gave was exceptional - I would highly recommend staying here!!!

The room we had was very nice,quite spacious, The pub itself was comfortable, the only down side was our evening meal which was in our opinion expensive for two roast chicken dinners priced at £17.50 each the broccoli spears were rock hard, the roast potatoes & parsnips were dry as if they had been kept warm all day.There excuse was that they had been busy all day. Surely your meal should be as good to enjoy no matter what time of day it is

Stayed for two nights and really enjoyed our stay.Was greeted by very friendly staff who showed us to our room which had a balcony with lovely views of the sea and Isle of Wight in the distance. Room was very spacious with a very comfortable bed. Had dinner one of the evening’s and I must say was probably one of the best burgers I’ve ever had,My wife had the fish and chips and was as happy as me with her choice. Breakfast was very nice too. Lovely big beer garden with plenty of seating area. Would definitely visit The Mayflower again 5 ⭐️

Lovely hotel and we had a room overlooking the marina. Lovely breakfast. Only issue was that the bar/restaurant stopped serving food too early which forced us in to town to find somewhere else for an evening meal
