The website certainly does not do this place justice! A great room and a delicious breakfast which was home cooked and made to what we wanted. The room was clean and the host was friendly and good to talk to.

We stayed one night in Elaine's smaller room. After a day sail from Lymington Yacht Haven it was just what we wanted - comfy bed, clean and quiet with a nice home cooked breakfast in the morning. Even a nice little flat screen TV in the room to watch the highlights of the olympics when we got back in. It's... More

Elaine is such a witty person! We had interesting chats in the morning and a lot of laughter, when she served her delicious breakfast and of all her absolutely tasty home made bread, jam and marmelade! (you get the smell of it the previous afternoon, when the whole house is filled with the smell of freshly baked bread). Elaine has... More

Elaine is a lovely host and our two children (aged six and three) loved staying here, particularly as she kindly offered to let them help walk Brona Brown, her terrier. It was a very welcome change to the atmosphere you get in some B&Bs where children are frowned upon or just not allowed. Breakfast was lovely and the bathrooms were... More

The two nights I recently spent with friends at A Little Gem were very relaxing. All three of the guest rooms were welcoming, as was Elaine the owner, who told us all we needed to know about Lymington and the surrounding area, and also found space for all three of us to store our bikes. She also made us a... More
