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.
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.
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!
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.
We cannot fault this hotel. The staff were attentive, polite and helpful. The room was well lit, adequate power sockets and overlooked Broad Street. There was a reasonable bar menu and the breakfast was excellent. There was parking around the west side of the building. The Winter/Spring price was reasonable but it can more than double in high season.

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.

Clean, warm comfy room. Friendly staff and excellent breakfast with plenty of choice.
Clean/comfortable room.
Hotel in good/central location - hence you may be disturbed by early (3-4am) bin collections.
Managed to get parking on site.
Pool/jacuzzi is a nice treat.
Breakfast is expensive for children, so went to local cafe instead.
Friendly staff, lovely location, great food. Will definitely go back.

The pool, sauna & jacuzzi were definitely the highlights for me.
It's also so nice to be minutes away from the seafront to enjoy watching the sunrise as well as a walk in the night to observe the beautiful Christmas lights.
We had a family room up on the top floor. It was so cosy and quirky and huge.
The whole hotel had a beautiful ambience it felt so Christmassy with all the lights and the trees all very tastefully done. The staff was super friendly. We cannot wait to come back
