Rooms
Staying true to the area's seafaring heritage, The Mayflower's seven charming bedrooms are awash with calming coastal tones and nods to all things nautical.
Each room has its unique charms and special touches, from indulgent roll-top baths and reinvigorating rainfall showers to in-room espresso machines for that much-need caffeine fix after a deep sleep in between Egyptian cotton sheets. Four of the rooms (Aston, Kelpie, Windflower, Leopard) have views across Lymington harbour and the local sailing club, and all have wifi, tea-making facilities and natural Bramley bath and body products.
The Aston Suite is a large and luxurious ground-floor bedroom and is perfect for families. It has a well-appointed bathroom with a shower over a Victorian style roll-top bath as well as beautiful views of the terrace, garden and harbour beyond.
Restaurant & bar
With a true passion for food, expect classic pub dishes created from locally sourced ingredients showcasing the best produce from New Forest and Hampshire coast.
There are comfy sofas and leather wingback chairs in the nautically themed bar, alongside wood floors roaring open fires and big windows. If the weather's fine snap up the best seats in the house on the elegant outdoor terrace for an alfresco lunch or a quiet afternoon pint in the sun.
From sesonally changing menus perhap start with pork and black pudding sausage roll with piccalilli, follow with chargrilled tuna, Greek salad, crumbled feta, lemon and olive oil, or steak and ale suet pudding, buttered spring greens and champ mash, leaving room for pineapple tart Tatin with rum and raisin ice cream.
Private dining
The vast garden, some of it under cover, offers great opportunities for private events, whether it be a cocktail reception, work gathering or family party. Indoors, the private dining room is an ideal spot for a coastal party or gathering of up to 20 people.
