Free parking

One of the few places in Lymington where you can find free parking. You can admire the yachts or access the paths along the Solent, or spend time at the Haven café or restaurant.

Hi MouseHerts, Thanks for your kind review! Just to clarify, yes we do offer free parking for marina customers or customers at the Haven Bar & Restaurant only. Look forward to seeing you back here soon. Jonathan Yacht Havens

Staying overnight in Lymington, Tobi (at Britannia House) recommended the Yacht Haven for fresh fish. His recommendation was well placed! We strolled along the quayside in beautiful late October sunshine, grabbed a bottle of Albarino, and sat on the terrace balcony on their lovely comfy chairs, watching the boats and the world in general. The afternoon drifted lazily by, and we decided to brig forward our dinner booking (not a problem at all) to sit inside and enjoy the fire... the menu is extensive and packed with beautiful dishes, but we were extremely fortunate to be there when turbot was on the menu! We (two of us) shared a huge fish - incredibly fresh, tasty and the absolutely perfect romantic dish for two to share. Covered in samphire and delicious shrimp, served with a (big!) side salad and a bucket - yes, bucket - of fries, we took our time eating such a wonderful meal. (Initially, our starters were equally wonderful). I can thoroughly recommend the Yacht Haven on all counts - furnishing and ambience, location, service, food... you should go there!

I stayed at Lymington Yacht Haven last week and the facilities were second to none. More like a 5 star hotel than a marina. I thought it couldn't get better, then I got home and found I had lost my shaver. One call to the marina and they had it sent back to me - I am in awe of this organisation. Highly recommended if your cruising the south coast.

Dear Skip-Pete, Thank you for taking the time to review Lymington Yacht Haven. We're really blown away by your kind comments regarding both our facilities and the service you received. In fact, I've printed this review out and put it on our staff noticeboard as I'm extremely proud of the team (Andrew especially) for delivering a service like this! Look forward to welcoming you back again, Jonathan Yacht Havens

Went to the Haven for a snack and had one of the best bacon sandwiches ever! Loads of filling! The staff were very pleasant and all the tables were nicely laid out with attractive vases and jugs of flowers.

Masrked public footpath will take you to Solent WAy. It is marked but you turn left when in marina. surface to footpath is good for cycling, walking etc. If v windy there are steps down to a lower.path

We moored here for the night in August as a family of 5 on a 32' yacht. You do need to book ahead for summer weekends but it is well worth it. The facilities are second to none, like a very good gym/hotel. Located a short walk from the town and all the amenities too. Staff are friendly and helpful too. We'll definitely return.

Dear C_Rossiter, Thank you for taking the time to review Lymington Yacht Haven and we're delighted you had such a wonderful stay with us! You are absolutely correct - booking it definitely recommended, especially for weekends in the summer! Thanks again for your very kind words about our facilities, we're very proud of them Look forward to welcoming to again soon Jonathan Yacht Havens
