I may update this but arrived today and so far not bad. However, we left the boat to find on return they had moved it. This in itself I don’t mind, but the quality or competence of the move is important. We returned to find the boat was 2 foot from the pontoon! C’mon guys, you can do better I’m sure!

A recreation ground is very near the harbour and this quay area, so you can sit with your picnic lunch and enjoy the Isle of Wight ferry coming slowly into the harbour. The harbour office is near, along with Lymington Sailing club where you can enjoy the views. Lymington is a port on the west bank of the Lymington River on the Solent, in the New Forest district of Hampshire, England. It is to the east of South East Dorset and faces Yarmouth on the Isle of Wight which is connected to it by a car ferry, operated by Wightlink. The town of Lymington lies within Southampton and south west Hampshire and contains the villages of Beaulieu, Boldre, Hordle, Milford-on-Sea, Pennington and Sway. The town has a large tourist industry, and is situated near the beautiful New Forest. It is a major yachting centre with three marina’s. A beautiful, Georgian market town, Lymington is situated on the southern edge of the New Forest, between Southampton and Bournemouth and at the western end of the Solent. The town is recorded in the Domesday book of 1086 as Lentune. around 1200 the lord of the manor, William de Redvers created the borough of New Lymington around the present Quay and High Street while Old Lymington comprised the rest of the parish. He gave the town it’s first charter and the right to hold a market. The town became a Parliamentary Borough in 1585 returning two MP's until 1832 when its electoral base was expanded. Lymington continued to return two MP's until the Second Reform Act of 1867 when its representation was reduced to one. On the passage of the Redistribution of Seats Act 1885 Lymington's parliamentary representation was merged with the New Forest Division.
The on-water staff are very friendly and helpful. The shoreside shower facilities are in desperate need of refurbishment and do not seem to have the necessary servicing to keep them clean and tidy. They should not judge themselves against the overpriced marinas but it would be good to a offer a reasonable alternative to them at a reasonable price. Lymington is a nice place to visit but they are overcharging for what they offer.
Avoid avoid avoid... dreadful place.... pay a bit more and moor up around the corner.... they take your money quick enough... visitors pontoons are the furthest point from the showers... signs would be good !! Try putting a few on the pontoons directing people to the ashore walkway..... there are 3 buildings ashore..and not a sign in sight to the showers ..took an age to find them...on Easter Sunday evening after a long sail I was looking forward to a nice hot shower....the male shower room was filthy.... toilets were disgusting...the floor was dirty...the showers had clothes and rubbish left in them....staff...ha ha.. noone to be found....felt robbed staying here...never again..
Improved with the New Shower block. Friendly staff.
