New for 2026
In the heart of Lymington, Angel Cottage places you right in the thick of the New Forest’s affluent Georgian market town, where sailing, cobbled streets and independent shops set the tone for relaxing days and unhurried evenings. Step out the front door, and you’re just moments from award-winning fine dining, bistros, delis and boutiques, while the open forest and unspoilt coastline and castles are just a quick drive away.
Sleeping six guests, this contemporary home is all about relaxed town living in generous proportions. The lounge is home to sofas and comfy seating with doors opening into a large, bright conservatory as a second sitting room. Use it as a quiet spot to sit in the morning sun with a coffee or for the youngsters to commandeer while you enjoy some downtime.
The kitchen and dining area is where you will tend to gather, and there’s plenty of space that works just as well for breakfasts as it does for long suppers with goodies you’ve bought from Lymington’s Saturday Street market or the town’s artisan delicatessens. A ground-floor double bedroom with its own wet room is perfect for those preferring ground floor accommodation. Upstairs are two further bedrooms, a super-king and a twin, each with the luxury of being en suite.
A paved courtyard garden offers a sheltered spot to sit back and relax, with rambling blooms, planters and pots of seasonal flowers, creating a soft and pretty al fresco hideaway.
Angel Cottage benefits from a private paved garden space, ideal for relaxing after a day out exploring the nearby coast, countryside, and local attractions.

Lymington is one of the largest towns in the New Forest and has a key role in the life of the area. This charming town is packed full of history dating back to the Norman Conquest, and is an important port on the west bank of the Lymington River on the Solent. Human habitation in the Lymington area dates back to the Iron Age, and a 6th Century BC hill fort known locally as Buckland Rings can still be seen today. As with many other towns and villages in the area, Lymington thrived during the Norman Conquest, thanks to its key location on the south coast.
