Guest Reviews

• David (8/5): -
• Philip (10/5): - Loved the homely feel. Tobias was an excellent host
• Bridget (10/5): Britannia House - Tobi is an excellent host. The location is perfect. It is a few minutes walk to high street and across the road from the train and bus station. There are a variety of nearby restaurants too.
• Jan (10/5): Perfect for a long weekend - Perfect location, very well kept property and a great welcoming and knowledgeable host who also cooks an excellent breakfast. Perfect. Nothing!
• Andy (9/5): Great stay. Great location and great host (s)!! - We had a great stay with Tobi (and his daughter - serving breakfast) and found both he and the property very quirky. There was plenty of communication from Tobi and he clearly loves the contact with his guests. His focus was on our comfort and enjoyment and his local knowledge and recommendations made our stay all the more enjoyable. I was initially a little worried about our room being on the ground floor and on the front of the old hotel (1800's) with there being a train station opposite, a near by pub and regular buses running by but I had now need as we were not disturbed. The location is ideal for a walk into Lymington (the Saturday market is well worth a visit) or further around the coast (Lymington Nature Reserve) if you feel more adventurous (a great walk by the way), and in a short drive you can reach the New Forest or take a trip to Milford-On-Sea for a walk along the spit to Hurst Castle (another great walk). We would have gladly stayed another night if it were not for the need to get home. There were other things we'd have loved to done (E'Bike hire - the Ocean Route is highly recommended at the laical bike hire shop) but we will just have to return one day! Nothing!
• Alicia (9/5): Great spot to explore Lymington - Great location for exploring Lymington: helpful to have parking and just a few minutes walk to the centre (particularly important when one of you is on crutches!). Tobi was super friendly and made an amazing breakfast, as so many others have commented. It really set us up for the day and he was thoughtful about providing gluten-free options, which was much appreciated.
• Harvey (10/5): Wonderful. - Warm welcome; comfortable and homely accommodation; superb breakfast; friendly helpful service from host Tobi. We'd recommend Britannia House to friends. Can't think of anything.we didn't like. Except having to leave at the end of our stay.
• Penny (10/5): Tobias is the host with the mostest! - It is very well appointed in a great location The bedroom and bathroom beautifully decorated and super clean. The breakfast was delicious and filling. There is a beautiful lounge for guests use which is very comfortable and a lovely bolt hole when the weather is inclement. Nothing

The first night we were there, it was very hot, but a simple fan took care of things.
• Ann (10/5): Exceptional -
• Helen (10/5): Holiday in Lymington - Both of us had a great time at Britannia House, boutique B&B. The host, Tobias made us most welcome., and nothing was too much trouble for him. The breakfast we had every morning was so tasty, which was cooked by Tobias. The room we stayed in was lovely too. The bed was very comfortable. We found it a great place to stay. We had free run of the house. No rush to get back at the end if the day. Had a key to get in. The lounge upstairs was a lovely place to relax, a light , airy place due to the 5 windows. A 2 minute walk from Lymington train station. And an easy walk to town and the surrounding areas. Would happily stay there again. .
• Matt (10/5): Relaxing stay at a delightful B&B - We had a delightful stay at Britannia House, hosted by the lovely Tobi. The breakfasts were delicious, the location was perfect and the bedroom was perfect with a super comfy king-sized bed. I'd recommend Britannia House for anyone looking for a trip to Lymington or the New Forest area.

• Robert (10/5): Exceptional -
• Stephen (10/5): Exceptional - Tobi was an amazing host. Nothing was too much trouble for him. The property is situated close to the town centre with off-road parking, and it is in a good location to visit the New Forest. Less busy than Lyndhurst, too.

• Tim (10/5): …will visit again! - Tobias is the perfect host. The property is meticulously maintained and extremely well maintained. Location worked very well for us and easy walk into town.
• Katherine (10/5): A relaxing stay in a beautifully presented property with a warm and attentive host - Quirky well presented property, decorated appropriately to the age of the building The host Tobias made a delicious full English breakfast - one of the best I have ever had. It was so good I had it all 3 mornings, something I would never normally do. Tobias also provided lots of helpful suggestions about local places to eat, drink and visit. A great host A minor issue : Squeaky floors and doors ( cannot be helped in a period property) - sadly as a light sleeper our fellow guests above us woke me up going to the loo.
• Nathan (9/5): A perfect stay with great hosts - From arrival to departure everything was great. Tobias welcomed us on arrival and cooked the best breakfast Nothing

• Jeremy (10/5): Britannia House made a rare overnight stay in Lymington a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Much more than just a room fo - A warm welcome from Tobias, and a lovely comfortable, well-furnished, traditional guest house. We enjoyed the sumptuous communal sitting-room and the homely farmhouse style kitchen area. The central location allowed us to do everything we wanted to do on foot, including a nice morning run by the lovely Lymington waterside before the generous breakfast. We encountered no faults worthy of mention.
• Ray (9/5): Friendly host, comfortable stay and a great location. - Excellent home cooked breakfast to order Bathroom was a bit small
• Carol (9/5): Superb -
• Richard (10/5): A wonderful introductory stay in Lymington. - Excellent breakfast, freshly cooked. Location was perfect for the train/bus station and all the amenities in Lymington. Very welcoming and informative host. Beautifully appointed rooms with very thoughtful and personal touches. Nothing
• Kirsty (9/5): Friendly, warm stay in beautiful B&B - Beautiful, homely, uniquely decorated B&B. Tobias is the friendliest and most welcoming host. Rooms are lovely. Breakfast is at a big kitchen table with the other guests, a really nice way to start the day. There’s a huge lounge upstairs with harbour views for all guests to use. It’s right next to the train station and a few mins walk from the high street and multiple pubs/restuarants/cafes. Only thing I didn’t like was the pillows, others would but a little too firm for me!

• Dominic (10/5): Exceptional -
• Victoria (10/5): Had a brilliant stay - So friendly, really comfortable, delicious breakfasts, spotlessly clean, quirky and original decor, fantastic location, lots to do, Nothing
• Tanya (10/5): Lovely host, very comfortable room, tasty breakfasts...what more could you ask for. - Very friendly host who took care of us extremely well - fabulous place, highly recommended.
• Joseph (7/5): Good but pillows, breakfast and bath issues for me made it an overall 6.5 or 7/10 rather than a 9/10 - Lovely property in good location and clean. Host friendly with good communication. Photos on website made room look much bigger. Know lot of places do this and room was big enough but still disappointing. Had bath which was looking forward to but was two of us and hot water run out after one bath that wasn't even filled. Bed nice but pillows like stone. Breakfast could have more options. Same thing each day and no vegetarian alternative if you didn't eat sausage or bacon. Rather than offering a veggie sausage or something you just got less which wasn't really fair.
• Julie (10/5): Wonderful escape. Beautiful property. - This property is a unique combination of luxurious, friendly and comfortable. The location is incredible and the building is so lovely. Unusual little features round every corner. A brilliant lounge space to use and gigantic kitchen. Breakfast is second to none and you are exceptionally cared for throughout your stay. Tobi (and Tessa too) were fab hosts. Nothing!
• Paul (9/5): Just a very enjoyable short stay - Tobias certainly knows his business after 24 years serving customers! The property was very clean, the location was ideal in the heart of the town and I have never had a breakfast as good as Tobi’s. Really enjoyed our staff and made very welcome Nothing
• José (10/5): Fantastic location, welcoming hosts, really beautiful decor, great sleep. Ready nice for a coupe. - Fantastic location, welcoming hosts, really beautiful decor, great sleep. Ready nice for a coupe.
• Charlene (8/5): wonderful stay look forward to returning - Breakfast was lovely very good quality ingredients although there was no choice of different options. The owner was very friendly and it was a lovely atmosphere, i would definitely recommend this place and look forward to returning would have liked bathrobes in the room and a coffee machine. Larger bottles of shower gel and some bubble bath but this did not detract from our stay
• Philip (9/5): Superb -
• Apelles (9/5): Superb - Welcoming host and staff. Good character house, walking distance from harbour and town centre, yet in quiet location. N/A
• Ronald (9/5): sum up my stay it was a great location i would stay there again - The location was perfect, hospitality was great, breakfast was exceptional . unfortunately for me the bed was too hard but that is personal preference. The one thing I really didn't like was the fact someone entered our room without notification and took it upon themselves to open the curtain and the window being that we were on ground floor and tucked inside the court yard it could of allowed anyone to entre our room and having several thousand of pounds in my room i was not happy
• Stephen (9/5): Great accommodation, wonderful host and fantastic breakfast. - Beautiful living quarters, with lovely views. Wonderful location, in the heart of Lymington. And Tobias is a fantastic host, very helpful and knowledgable about the local area - who also happens to cook the most amazing breakfast.
• Clare (9/5): Superb -
• John (10/5): Great hospitality and a warm welcome. - The location in Lymington was great. The hotel is historic and is decorated entirely in keeping. Toby the host is very friendly and knowledgable and genuinely hospitable. A great stay in a lovely place.

• Michael (10/5): Our stay was excellent - Our stay at Britannia House was amazing Tobi made us feel so at home from the time we arrived and all through our stay.The rooms were immaculately presented. The breakfast was cooked by Tobi which we enjoyed each morning as we sat and chatted to the other guests exchanging stories. We will definitely be staying here again as it is in a perfect location and close to all amenities There was nothing I didn’t like
• Nicky (10/5): Idyllic - The location was perfect: within easy walking distance of the train station, the quay, town centre and restaurants. Our room was beautifully decorated and fascinating, as was the rest of the house, and overlooked the lovely green courtyard garden, which we enjoyed a glass of wine in. The communal lounge was light and comfortable and overlooking the harbour. At breakfast Tobi made us and all the other guests feel like family even whilst he cooked. I can understand why he has regular return customers, and we will be one of them xx
• Melanie (9/5): Comfy, gem of a B&B. - Great B&B mins walk from all Lymington has to offer. A quirky vibe to the rooms but quality, cleanliness and comfort were all top notch. Good breakfast around a communal table served by host and his super daughter. Host on hand to give tips of where to go, chatty, polite and helpful. Lots of books on offer on the lounge but a few games would be a bonus. May have been there, but we didn't find them .
• Anonymous (10/5): Very friendly atmosphere - Location friendliness and decor
• Clare (10/5): Fab little boutique B&B - Fabulous accommodation in a boutique B&B situated in the heart of Lymington. Easy parking and the Apartment was spotlessly clean and very comfortable to stay in. Tobias is a very welcoming, knowledgeable host who cooks a mean breakfast! Nothing to dislike here; we’ll 100% stay again. Thanks for a lovely break Tobias :-)
• Andy (5/5): Disappointing overall . Friendly host . Just not our preferred style - Location and the host was welcoming Check in was difficult as we had to state exact time and we were contacted and pressed to confirm arrival time . Breakfast time slot - we were given one time slot for breakfast, no alternative option . No toiletries in room as stated . Quilt too heavy for the time of the year . Bed wasn’t a large double as claimed . Room a bit tired and dated
• Mark (9/5): Superb -

• Beverley (10/5): Exceptional -
• Anonymous (10/5): Great short stay , everything we needed and more - Friendliness , location , breakfast Nothing really perhaps a slightly better shower - that’s all
• Chris (10/5): An ideal base to explore the New Forest. - The location of the Brittannia House is ideal for exploring the New Forest and surrounding areas and only a very short walk from the lovely town centre of Lymington. Our room and bathroom were lovely and very clean. Tobi our host made us very welcome and his daughter had even cooked some lovely shortbread for us.
