Amazing helpful staff, good breakfasts, comfy beds and charming old pub. The icing on the cake is the location- just 2 minutes walk to the beach and other restaurants- plus free parking, which is a rarity in Lyme Regis.
Clean and tidy,good parking,staff helpful,breakfast good only down sides
Room outside noise windows not sealing properly (lucky weather good),and swimming pool not in use.so paying for
Something the could not be used.
Had a lovely short stay here. Rooms spotlessly clean, comfortable bed and good breakfast. Brilliant location for walking to the front, shops, bars and restaurants.

Great location and free parking too… Very good breakfast and friendly staff. Our room was excellent and had a balcony overlooking the sea…. Room 31 …. The bonus was a swimming pool/ Jacuzzi and steam room on site all to ourselves which is free of charge … You simply book a slot at reception … Would recommend..
Room was clean, the view was amazing. Breakfast was so good! A wonderful relaxing stay. The hotel has a wonderful old fashioned charm. The biscuits were delicious!
Friendly welcome, we arrived early, safely left car and went for a wander around Lyme Regis. Our room was clean and tidy with a lovely bathroom. Breakfast - we have had better - service was a little slow (only 2 staff and 1 was providing room service) and food was average at best. Swimming pool & jacuzzi were great - you effectively booked for your private pool.
Friendly staff, good breakfast and really warm whirlpool!!

Very helpful staff reception and in dining areas. Good breakfast and service. Fabulous pool and area which is bookable and therefore for individual use.
Room was tired and needed updating. Bunk beds for children definitely need maintenance. Cleanliness in bathroom and other areas could be better. That said bed linen was very good. In all though, great location and can’t praise staff enough for their friendliness.
We needed a stress-free break and we got one. All of the staff were superb, the room was spacious and very comfortable, and the food excellent. The only real negative was that Expedia charged us nearly £40 more than the hotel's going rate.

Great staff, tidy rooms and brilliant service. Had building work on going so didn’t get to see the place at its finest. Will definitely be back again though.
