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..

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.
