Firstly, the staff are amazing here. The food was also very good with an excellent cooked breakfast along with a great selection of pastries etc. The bar area is very welcoming and the hotel in general is a big favourite of mine whenever I visit Lyme Regis. The view from my room was stunning with the sun rising over the Dorset coast in the morning.I highly recommend.

A great stay. The only downside was some maintenance work directly outside our room at 8am! We came away for a rest and a lazy morning so banging and drilling outside our door was a bit disappointing. I would however go back and recommend the property. A great central location.

Good location and comfortable

We stopped at this hotel just overnight on our way from Cornwall to Portsmouth, and I thought it was a good choice! I found it comfortable and clean, with a tasty breakfast and helpful staff. It's a short walk to the beach and the Cobb, so I was able to go out in the early morning to see it. I wish we could have stayed longer, and hope to come back and visit again!

Lovely hotel. Highly recommend.

Really lovely hotel. Very conveniently positioned. Had a lovely balcony room and the staff were so very friendly and professional. Only grievance was not being able to turn down, or off, the towel rail. Was too hot to the touch and also made the bathroom and bedroom way too hot.

Really enjoyed my stay here, unfortunately only one night for us this time and sadly didn't get a chance to try the pool as very busy. I loved the historical aspect to the hotel being built a coaching house in 1601. The hotel itself was comfortable and clean. The breakfast was good and there was a lot of choice.

Located in the main street only a short walk to the sea shore and with convenient parking which is a definite plus given the location. Staff were friendly and the historic building had bags of charm. The room was adequate for one person and well appointed.

The room was suppose to be deluxe, it was very small no dressing table, no room to sit and do my makeup, no room to dress. , no space to move around the toilet door scrapes the bathoom sink. The food was greasy, undercooked and bland. It was not worth £192!! Staff were friendly.

Dirty room, especially the toilet. No restaurant available. Had to eat in a dirty bar. Table reservations messed up for myself and 2 other guests. Very poor quality steak meal at a silly price. To top it all breakfast was served with uncooked poached eggs. In all very disappointing for a short stay in a lovely coastal town.
