Things To Do in Lymington

A Personalised Touch

We believe personalised touches are the ultimate way to convey appreciation. 

At Stanwell House, we can arrange for special treats to be waiting for you upon arrival. Sourced from local suppliers, our bespoke additions include chocolates from a local chocolatier, flowers from a local florist, a bottle of champagne — or all of the above!

Those who are alcohol-free can alternatively opt for our delicious mocktails. With a variety of flavours, from sweet concoctions to classic favourites, our mocktails are the perfect alternative for those looking for a non-alcoholic, romantic selection.  For couples seeking a refreshing alternative, our delightful mocktails offer a range of flavours to suit every palate. From sweet and indulgent creations to timeless classics, our non-alcoholic beverages provide the perfect, romantic choice for a memorable experience together.

Exceptional Dining

At our renovated Samphire restaurant, enjoy an impeccable dining experience, with food that refuses to compromise on flavour.

Our sophisticated bistro offers a relaxing atmosphere to unwind and indulge with seasonal dishes created with the finest locally sourced, sustainable produce from land and sea. Whether you’re after a leisurely breakfast, tasty nibbles and light bites throughout the day, nutritious salads, or a mouthwatering main and desserts, our dishes are to be savoured!

A firm favourite amongst couples, our seafood sharing platter is a must try! Featuring  Lymington-picked crab, four red shrimps, two scallops and fresh mussels, pair your sensational meal with a smooth, crisp bottle of wine for two, or a celebratory bottle of fizz.
