The location is superb - right on the seafront, with sea views from an excellent terrace as well as from our bedroom. The dining room and bar area were very convivial, serving an excellent menu and range of local ales. Bed was comfortable. Tea and coffee was provided in the room. The staff worked very hard and were all very friendly. Dan needs special mention for his tireless efforts. Our first breakfast was great - full english, all local produce, cooked perfectly. Unfortunately, due to an illness, only a continental breakfast was available on day 3 (our stay was for only two nights), which was bad news for my wife trying to keep to her Keto diet. The assistant manager reduced our stay cost accordingly, which helped to mitigate this issue.

Our room was very small, with the en suite effectively being a wet room - operating the shower meant soaking the toilet and everything else in that small space (including the toilet rolls). Only four clothes hangers were provided in the room. Nest time we'll pay for a bigger room! Note that there is no long stay car park in the immediate vicinity. Long stay car parking for our three-day stay was £45 - expensive! Can't St Austel Breweries, the hotel owners, find a solution to the parking problem?

We booked a Cosy Double room, which was described accurately as being small - this managed our expectations so thank you for the honest description. The bed was ample for 2 people and the room didn't feel claustrophobic, (but it was tight moving around the bed and we both kept walking into the edge of wall-mounted TV). Lovely breakfast included in the price. The best location on the sea-front.

The en-suite shower room was a wet room. The water didn't run away to the drain fully, so the bathroom floor was left very wet. It would help if a squeegee was provided so one could move the water towards the drain after use.

Location is fantastic for the views and access to the seafront. The hotel is very nicely decorated and the staff were very welcoming and attentive.

There is no parking at the hotel, so you have to pay at the public car parks, which are expensive nearby, or a bit of a walk up the hill. Couple of other issues were the room doesn't have a desk, so I had to work on the window sill. Also it was quite warm, but with the window open, there is quite a bit of noise from bin lorries and deliveries during the night.

the staff were amazing , we had a little problem as we aren't phone savvy with the APP for parking but they helped us straight away with a smile and they were busy . staff even helped us with our bags on arrival . We noticed that all the staff seemed happy all the time we were there . Break fast was wonderful . Continental was above our expectations , every thing you could wish for and full English , top marks especially for the mushrooms with thyme . We will be back . do not be put off by the parking it can all be sorted . views over the sea whilst having breakfast perfect .

the rain

Both myself and my wife have some food allergies which was catered for, my wife is Celiac and she was confident eating the food ordered and the staff were more than happy to help us. The room was excellent, our room was right at the top. It had a great view and the overall feel was excellent. Only niggle would be the access to the room was up some very tight stairs, but it was worth it for the room and view. Would definitely recommend and we will be coming back.

Nothing

Location - Restaurant - style and comfort of room which is described as snug and it definitely is ! Staff were very welcoming the next day and the breakfast delicious.

Staff not very attentive initially - but put this down to them having had a morning of no hot water at the address - may have been stressful? Felt pub customers were assisted a lot sooner than ourselves on arrival !! Despite us also choosing to eat there as we waited to book in!

The location of the hotel is fantastic right in the town and next to the sea. The property is lovely and the staff very friendly and helpful. The room was very clean, warm and comfortable with quality amenities (Elemis toiletries, Nespresso machine etc) Breakfast was plentiful and delicious and the dining room had views of the sea. Check in and check out were a breeze all in all a very good experience.

There is no parking but we were aware of that when we booked. This is a bit of a hassle though with car parks nearby being short stay only. The long stay car park is a 10 min walk up a very steep hill, but fine to dump the car there for a few days. The one evening meal we had there was good but not great, although perhaps my expectations were high after reading other glowing reviews. I would still recommend it as decent pub food.

The location could not be better, right on Cobb Gate (R.I.P. the old chippy!). We had a beautiful uninterrupted sea view from our window. Perfect for anybody wishing to be right in the heart of Lyme Regis, right on the shore. The room was well appointed and nicely decorated. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly and made our stay all the better. And the breakfast was excellent!

I have no complaints! It's not necessarily the cheapest place to stay in Lyme, but if you're after a lovely stay, it's worth it for the incredible location and views.

Excellent location. Staff super friendly. Room was lovely, tasteful decor. Breakfast was the best I’ve had for a long time and I travel for work frequently so I’m staying away a lot. Other reviews mention the lack of parking. Well, it’s Lyme Regis and most places in Lyme Regis have no parking, that’s the quaintness you get from staying on the seafront in Lyme Regis. There are two little car parks within 10 yards and although 3 hours max stay, can be topped up using the app on your phone both are free overnight after 6 pm. Other that that, the NCP in the high street is like 2 minutes walk and although expensive, is convenient. We extended the overnight parking using app on phone in the morning whilst still in bed.

Not a great gluten free menu but If like me you are gluten free, the Pilot boat right next door has a great gluten free menu, as does The Wave, along towards the Cobb.

Very pleasant boutique hotel with exceptional pub/restaurant and offering first-class breakfast. The room was extremely good, well equipped, good bathroom, comfortable bed, strong wifi, really couldn't fault anything in the room. And an exceptional location, right next to both the sea and the shops.

Well, it's not cheap and whilst parking is not too much of an issue when only staying one night (parking in the adjacent municipal car park is free during the night), it could be a problem for a stay of several days.
