Great location, good breakfast, but shabby room
This hotel is situated in the middle of Lyme Regis, so it's a great location. There's a small car park behind the hotel. In my view, the hotel is tired. The carpet in my room was stained and the room needed upgrading. The room felt shabby, particularly considering the price. The communal areas were good - There's a friendly, busy bar, a swimming pool, a snooker table and table tennis table. The breakfast (included in the price) was good.

Spent 2 nights here in November. It's in a perfect position in the centrevof the town, within easy walking distance of everything that you come to Lyme Regis for. Hotel was undergoing some refurbishment at the time of our stay, but the noise didn't disturb us unduly. The hotel has some parts that date back to the early 1600s and has great character! All of the staff that we encountered were friendly and helpful. Highly recommended!

Hotel was in an excellent location, staff were friendly and helpful. Very clean and great food menu. Parking is tight and on a first come first serve basis and you need to book a slot to access the leisure facilities. Room was excellent with plenty of room and storage and bed was extremely comfortable

Staff at the hotel were incredibly efficient and hardworking. Their attentiveness made our stay enjoyable & hassle-free. The room was both clean and spacious, featuring a lovely terrace. However, we would suggest adding a privacy screen between the terrace seating areas for an enhanced sense of seclusion. The food was good overall, with the sausage bap being a standout breakfast dish. Additionally, having private car parking available was a significant advantage, making our visit even more convenient. Overall, we had a pleasant stay & would recommend.
