Fantastic place to stay, Neil, Rosemarie and all the staff are so welcoming. A good choice and quality of breakfast which was cooked only once you ordered and therefore was lovely and hot (so many hotels end up with warm breakfasts). We have already recommended to several friends!

Dissapointed
Lovely house and friendly owner. There it begins to unwind. The room was very nice BUT the heating is broken so instead of having 4 nice radiators pumping out some heat we had one small electric oil filled radiator. So yes the room was cold. Went downstairs to have a sandwich. I had one round of cheese and my wife had a round of cheese and pickle. We also had a few crisps sprinkled on the side. We had to leave a day early as my wife wasn’t feeling too well so I just paid the bill without looking. BIG MISTAKE. We were charged £12 for the plain cheese sandwich. Oh that’s £12 each so the total food bill was a mighty £24!! Before posting this review I emailed the hotel as I think there must have been a mistake. But to date (2 days later) I haven’t even received the courtesy of a reply. You won’t get fat on the breakfast either. Tasty yes. Portions small. A side order of toast for 2 people was one slice cut in half. Maybe this bread is made with gold dust. Would I return. No.

Return guests to this friendly hotel in a quiet area five minutes drive from the main town centre. Very comfortable rooms which are all nicely fitted out. We are always made to feel very welcome and our boxer dog even more so. Breakfast is served in a separate dining room or can be taken with your dog in the bar who also receives a little morning treat. Outside in the garden, there is a large fenced exercise area to help keep your dog safe. A great place for a short break and we always look forward to returning. Dogs are not permitted in some of the rooms and so if you are traveling with a dog it is worth checking with the hotel as to which rooms you can book.

Lovely hotel
We stayed for 2 nights in a standard double (peek )room in July .The room was very nice with a large bathroom with quality fitments, including a rainfall shower.The breakfast was very good and cooked to order.There is no restaurant for evening meals but this is not a problem as the hosts recommended the ship inn not far away.A family run restaurant where we dined twice .The hosts are super friendly ( I haven’t been hugged leaving a hotel before) and I’m sure they would accommodate any reasonable request you may have .We didn’t get to use he outside pool due to the weather which was the only downer on an enjoyable stay

The location is very good, being just a 10 min drive to Lyme Regis centre, with a very good car park as you enter the town, free after 6pm! Good restaurants, some of vehicular close on Sunday. Rooms very comfortable and a very warm welcome with a hearty breakfast
