Description

King Henry House is a stunning dog-friendly house in the gorgeous town of Lymington in Hampshire.

This property is perfect for a group of friends or a family looking for a getaway as it boasts an open-plan living area, a woodburning stove and is close to several amenities.

Step foot into your new holiday abode after parking on the private driveway.

Kick off your shoes and enter the sitting room on your left.

Claim the armchair or find your spot on the sofa as you sit back and immerse yourself in your new surroundings.

Move into the open plan area to find everything you need for a fabulous self-catered stay.

Cook up something tasty using the electric oven and hob before plating it up on the dining table.

With the sun is shining down through the Velux window, open up the bifold doors and sit outside on the garden table and chairs.

Let the little ones run about with your dogs on the lawn as you wash dinner down with your favourite drink of choice.

When the sun ebbs away for the nighttime sky head back inside.

Curl up next to the wood-burning stove in the open-plan living space, or relax in the sitting room in front of the Smart TV or with a book.

When yawns start to echo, call it a night and head upstairs.

Choose from two double bedrooms, with one boasting an en-suite walk-in shower, and two singles.

In the mornings, start a new day off just right with an irresistible soak in the bath or a refreshing shower.

Nestled just 200 metres from the waters edge and bustling Town Quay, King Henry House offers the perfect base to explore the best of Lymington and the stunning New Forest coast.

A short three-minute stroll brings you to a delightful mix of local shops, ice cream shops, welcoming pubs, and one of the UK’s top 100 restaurants also mentioned in the Michelin guide.

The Quay itself is a hive of activity where children can enjoy the timeless fun of crabbing in the stunning waters of the Solent.

For the more adventurous, paddleboards or kayaks are available to hire from the Quay, offering a unique way to tour the picturesque harbour.

Alternatively, hire bikes and set off into the heart of the New Forest for an unforgettable ride through ancient woodland and open heathland.

A scenic coastal path runs close to the house, perfect for walking or cycling along the rural shoreline.

Along the way, stop for a drink at a traditional pub or continue on to Keyhaven for a refreshing swim, a relaxed pub lunch or gazing out to sea to the world famous sailing waters.

In Lymington, be sure to make the most out of the Sea Water Swimming Baths for a hugely fun dip in the sea with an obstacle course, or enjoy some friendly competition at Lymington Golf Centre and New Forest Adventure Golf.

Enjoy plenty of exhibits on display at the St Barbe Museum & Art Gallery or stroll through the Lymington Nature Reserve.

Milford on Sea is a short drive away, with its colourful beach huts and views of the Isle of Wight and The Needles.

Or why not hop on the ferry at Lymington and visit the Isle of Wight itself.

For great days out for everyone, head to the New Forest Wildlife Park to see plenty of fascinating creatures, or let the kids run wild at Paultons Park, Home of Peppa Pig World.

Surrounded by the natural beauty of both countryside and coast, together with the facilities of a beautiful well-appointed historic market town, King Henry House provides the ideal spot for a family getaway.

King Henry House was a fantastic property in a prime location near the centre of Lymington (a five minute walk from the house) close to the harbour and only a five minute drive from the Wight Link ferry terminal.

We had a lovely stay. The house was really comfortable (especially the mattresses on the beds!) Good facilities, lovely bathroom and ensuite to main bedroom. Plenty of crockery/cutlery in the kitchen. Utility area with washing machine and another fridge/freezer was really helpful, as was the downstairs toilet. Lovely garden (although suffering in this weather like all gardens!) Only minor points, but the loose bannister was a bit worrying with two boisterous grandchildren in the house; windows were really stiff to open and could have done with some WD40. Be aware that there is a significant step from the living area to the kitchen area (which has obviously been added as an extension) so anyone in a wheelchair or with mobility issues would have problems with this. All in all though a really lovely house within easy reach of all of the New Forest's attractions. We didn't have to drive more than 30mins to anything we wanted to see.

The weather was hot, so it was great that the cleaner had left the upstairs windows open and the curtains closed — perfect.

We were four generations gathering in Lymington for a joint 90th birthday, so the house was great for that. However, the step down into the kitchen was quite large, and my 90‑year‑old mum could not manage it (no handrail, etc.), and it would also be dangerous for a toddler. This would be worth mentioning in the property information. We also opened the skylights and were met with large numbers of dead flies. The property would benefit from a deep clean and some maintenance — particularly the carpets, bathroom grout, windows, and general descaling. The pan drawer also needs attention, as some pans do not work with the induction hob, which was frustrating when preparing meals. That said, we were only there for two days, so it was not too much of a problem for us, although slightly disappointing given the price.

Had a comfortable stay at King Henry House.

Underfloor heating in the kitchen/dinning room, comfy sofas, the pictures show a few high backed swivel chairs, which I was a bit concerned about, thinking that they would be uncomfortable, but I needn’t have because they were actually very comfortable. The beds were very comfortable and bedrooms spacious with plenty of space to hang clothes or put in drawers. Near to a small harbour with a few quaint shops and a pub. Also, very near to the high street that have a mix of unique independent shops and general major shops/stores. Plenty of parking, either along the high street or in council run car parks. There are also store car parks. Short drive to a pebble beach that is dog friendly and also the New Forest. The only negative is the e.mail I received about what was expected when leaving the house. It should have been sent at the beginning of the letting not the end. But that has no reflection on the house.
