1 / 14Little Moorings - Lymington
Lymington, Hampshire
A one bedroom cottage for two at Lymington with an enclosed garden, a ground floor shower room and one dog welcome, a walk from the quay and the high street.
Lymington is a town that ends in water. The high street runs downhill to a quay full of masts, and Little Moorings stands a walk up from that quay: one bedroom, two people, one dog, and its own enclosed garden out the back. It is dog friendly at the smallest end of the scale. The shop and the pub are both on foot. So, most days, is everything else.
It is small and it means to be. One bedroom, one shower room on the ground floor, a kitchen and a lounge, the whole of it arranged for two people who intend to be outside. The garden out the back is enclosed and has seating on it, and for a single dog that is the right amount: somewhere to go last thing without anybody finding a lead, and somewhere to lie while the coffee happens.
This is a cottage for a couple who own one dog and want a week of the Solent without organising any of it. The walking here starts from the doorstep and not from a car park. The marshes take an hour, or three, depending how far you commit, and the dog settles that question more often than the map does.
Lymington's old salterns run south from the town, a flat lattice of banks and lagoons between the river and the sea where salt was made for centuries and the birds now do most of the traffic. The sea wall path along them stays level throughout. Across the water the Isle of Wight is close enough to pick out buildings on, and behind the town the open forest starts within a couple of miles and a dog can be in it before ten.

Book with holidaycottages.co.ukFrequently Asked Questions
Is Little Moorings - Lymington dog friendly?
Yes, Little Moorings welcomes one dog. It's a small cottage designed with a couple and their dog in mind, and the enclosed garden out the back means your dog has somewhere to roam without needing a lead — handy last thing at night or first thing in the morning.
Are dogs allowed at Little Moorings - Lymington year round?
The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, and nothing in the property description suggests otherwise. If you want to confirm availability for specific dates, it's worth checking directly with the owner.
What should I know before visiting Little Moorings - Lymington with my dog?
Little Moorings is set up for one dog, so it's not the right fit if you're travelling with more than one. On the plus side, the walking starts from the doorstep rather than a car park — the salt marsh paths south of town are level and expansive, and the New Forest is within a couple of miles if your dog needs something wilder.
