A perfect place to stay in Lyme Regis

We really enjoyed our stay at Charnwood Guest House. The spotless room had a comfortable bed, tea and coffee making facilities and hot shower. Breakfast was served fresh to order each morning. Location was a short walk along the river from the beach and restaurants. Finally a shout out to Ruth and Phil who were the most charming hosts you could hope to meet.

Very friendly and clean and tidy. Good position with nearly level walk to beach and town. Unusual for this very hilly town. Please note the single room is very small and there is no guest lounge. This could be a challenge in bad weather. Good value with a full breakfast.

My friend and I just spent 2 nights here when we were attending a cookery class. It was just perfect for us. The hosts Phil and Ruth were so pleasant and welcoming. their house is absolutely spotless, breakfast was good and fresh, It’s situated so there is a nice few minute walk to the sea. There really isn’t anything to fault. I would most definitely recommend staying here and I will do again if I get another opportunity to.
