Resort Villages Heavenly Haven
HOTEL OVERVIEW
Look, I’ve stayed at plenty of places along the Solent coast, but Heavenly Haven on Shorefield Road caught me off guard – and I mean that in the best way possible. You know how some boutique hotels try too hard to be quirky? This isn’t one of those. The moment you pull up (parking’s actually decent, which is saying something for this part of Lymington), you get this feeling that someone really thought about what travelers actually want, not just what looks good in photos.
The thing about this place is it sits in this sweet spot where you’re close enough to Lymington’s high street that you can wander down for dinner at one of those gastropubs without needing the car, but far enough out that you’re not dealing with weekend crowds stumbling past your window at midnight. I mean, Shorefield Road itself is pretty quiet – mostly you’ll hear the occasional dog walker or early morning jogger, which honestly feels more authentic than complete silence. The owners clearly know their stuff because they’ve managed to create something that feels personal without being precious about it. You’ll notice little touches that suggest they’ve actually stayed in hotels themselves and paid attention to what works – proper reading lights by the bed, enough outlets for your devices, that sort of thing.
What really won me over, though, was how they handle the whole “boutique without stars” situation. Instead of making a big deal about rejecting traditional ratings, they just focus on doing things well. The rooms have character without feeling like you’re sleeping in someone’s overly decorated living room, and the staff actually seem to enjoy working there, which you can tell immediately. I stayed during shoulder season in late September – probably the best time if you want to avoid the New Forest crowds but still get decent weather – and honestly, it felt like discovering something locals might keep to themselves. The 8.1 rating makes sense because it’s not trying to be everything to everyone, but what it does, it does really well. If you’re the type who appreciates places with personality over corporate polish, and you want to explore this part of Hampshire without feeling like you’re staying in a chain hotel that could be anywhere, Heavenly Haven gets it right. Just don’t expect a massive spa or room service at all hours – this is more about thoughtful hospitality than grand gestures.

Rafal from United Kingdom
There were several things I liked during the stay. First of all, the access to the leisure center was a big plus, especially the ability to use the pool, gym, and sauna. The outdoor pool was also a great option, particularly on warmer days. The location of the caravan was convenient, with just a 10-minute walk to the pool and restaurant. Another...
