Unparalleled Service

A thoroughly enjoyable stay, special thanks to Neil at front of house/reception and Honor in the restaurant/bar for their unparalleled service and attention. The Hotel and staff far outshine many hotels I have frequented over the years. Highly recommended.

Great hotel highly recommended

We had an amazing time at Lyme Regis and the hotel played a large part in that, the room (19) was clean and well equipped with everything you’d want… the pool and jacuzzi were a wonderful addition, although the sauna was out of order. The staff went out of their way to be friendly , welcoming and helpful. The television didn’t work on the channels but had a DVD player inbuilt and external connections.. Would definitely love to stay again, thank you 🙏 ..

Excellent location, our front room was spotless with a bay window though the traffic was very noisy from early morning. Also a pity that, despite being told about my friend's gluten intolerance, no.attempt was made at breakfast or on the evening menu to accommodate. Only one staff member apologised each of the three mornings A good cafe opposite and the Co-Op saved her,

Great place

Great stay although we had confirmation of a three bed room. Which we eventually got due to the single room having a leak. What I booked and Hotels confirmed wasn’t the room we were initially offered. You need to clarify exactly what’s booked by your customers and ensure the hotel has the correct details to meet with those expectations.

Room was comfortable, although tv only worked intermittently, but facilities were good. Breakfast service is slow, but the food is very nice. Parking is it tight, we were lucky to get the last space, and didnt have to move our car until we went home.

Quaint rambling old building. Unfortunately I had an accident in the bedroom due to the sloping floor. I was aware of the floor and was very cautious but alas still had a serious slip . Bath and shower were very good as were tea and coffee provision. Staff were helpful and friendly. Breakfast was adequate but the fruit and pastries were not replenished as the service progressed. We were disappointed that the Pool was out of use and we had not been made aware of this when booking, but looked nice. Parking was easy and the hotel is in a great location for the beach and promenade. Unfortunately the few days we were there was spoilt because of my accident.

Next to Lyme Regis front beach, 1 minute walk. Walking distance to Charmouth beach walking along the beach, 50 minutes and 1.5 miles. Walking distance to Monmouth Beach, ammonite pavement, 20 minutes walk. There’s a pool, a jacuzzi, and a sauna. You got to book first, one hour each family/room. The services of checking in, breakfast, and so on were professional. Room was clean and quiet. The only downside is some light daints on the carpet floor, but they’re cleaned just hard to remove. This was a very minor issue. My comment is based on the sale price. So it added to the great stay experience.
