Overview of Sail Away
Sail Away is a contemporary four-bedroom townhouse sleeping eight within a private gated development just a short walk from the centre of Lymington. Its position is one of its greatest strengths, putting independent shops, cafés, pubs, restaurants, the historic quay and Lymington's strong sailing scene within easy reach on foot, view more large holiday homes in Lymington here.
The accommodation is arranged over three floors. Two en-suite bedrooms and the utility room occupy the ground floor, giving part of the group a degree of independence from the bedrooms above. The entire middle floor is devoted to a bright open-plan kitchen, dining and sitting room, creating a sociable space where all eight guests can eat and relax together.
On the top floor are the principal king-size bedroom with its own bathroom and a twin bedroom intended for children. Because of this configuration, Sail Away accepts a maximum of six adults and two children.
Outside, the property has a small courtyard with a wooden table and chairs, useful for morning coffee or drinks before heading into town. A private parking space is provided within the gated development.
Lymington makes an excellent base for combining coast and New Forest countryside. The town's marinas, Sea Water Baths and coastal paths are close by, while ferries cross to Yarmouth on the Isle of Wight. The open landscapes of the New Forest are around ten minutes away by car, giving groups a straightforward choice between sailing, coast, market-town life and days exploring the forest.

Who is Sail Away Best For?
Sail Away works particularly well for two families because the bedrooms are divided between the ground and top floors.
The ground floor has a king-size bedroom and a twin, both with their own bathrooms. Upstairs, another king-size bedroom has a private bathroom while the second twin room is designed for children.
This allows two couples to have king rooms while children or teenagers share the twins. The property's maximum occupancy of six adults and two children should be taken into account when planning the group.
The central location is another major advantage. Families can walk into Lymington for meals, shopping and time around the quay, while watersports, coastal walks and New Forest days out provide plenty of choice throughout a longer stay.

Location & Things to Do Near Sail Away
Sail Away's position close to central Lymington is particularly useful for a large group because many of the town's main attractions can be reached on foot. The historic High Street has independent shops, cafés and restaurants, while the traditional Saturday market brings stalls selling food, crafts, clothing and gifts into the centre of town each week.
From the High Street, cobbled streets lead towards the quay and harbour, where fishing boats and yachts come and go throughout the day. Lymington's long association with sailing remains very visible around its marinas, and groups can arrange boat trips, sailing experiences and fishing excursions from the town.
The historic Lymington Sea Water Baths provide another option for families, with swimming and seasonal water activities. From nearby Bath Road, walkers can follow the sea wall towards the Lymington and Keyhaven marshes, a rewarding coastal route for birdwatching and views across the Solent towards the Isle of Wight.
A trip to Yarmouth is easy to add to the holiday. Trains connect central Lymington with the ferry terminal, where regular crossings head across the Solent to the Isle of Wight.
The New Forest itself is only around ten minutes away by car. Brockenhurst, Boldre and the surrounding woodland and heath provide miles of walking and cycling among free-roaming ponies and cattle.
For a beach day, Milford on Sea offers a long shingle shoreline and views towards the Needles, while Highcliffe and Avon Beach provide sandy alternatives within roughly 20 minutes by car. Sail Away therefore works particularly well for groups wanting to combine town life, coast, sailing and New Forest countryside.
