Found a toenail clipping & bugs in the bed
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.

Hotel & pub full of character
A pub/hotel full of character and in a great location. The room was large, comfortable and well furnished and decorated. Great shower. We had a meal and the food was excellent so to the lovely breakfasts. The building as a whole needed a little tlc and gripes are minor. The manager was somewhat short and harassed at check in and again at dinner. The other staff were charming. Our stay coincided with bin day and the hottest day of the year - so with windows open it was early start for us. The TV didn’t work - not a big issue as we didn’t really need it but not ideal. Overall a good experience and perfect location to explore Lymington and the new forest.

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.

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.

Mini Break with dog
Lovely spacious room which was clean, comfortable & dog friendly. The staff were friendly & breakfast was very good, with an extensive choice. A few recommendations to make this an excellent stay, upgrading the TV to a Smart, we were without apps (Netflix, iplayer etc) & the tv was missing ITV & C4. As we’re having a relaxing weekend away & back to our room early, this feature was missed. The room had a lovely bath but no bubble bath was provided.

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.
