Emily is a credit to the hotel - always available to help or answer any queries and her excellent service and attention to detail is reflected in all of the staff. The outside pool was a fantastic bonus and was wonderful to use particularly in the midst of a heatwave! Breakfast served to the table in the lovely front room was very good, with quality, locally sourced ingredients. We loved our stay - thank you!

There is nothing to be negative about regarding our stay at The Dower House Hotel and we would certainly return. If being super, super picky we would choose to stay in one of the larger rooms next time as the Gould room although beautifully appointed with fantastic views is a little too small for our comfort, and we also missed having a chair in the room .. having said that we very much look forward to returning!

Very friendly hosts. Delicious breakfast with locally sourced produce. Great location for exploring. Great shower

The double bedroom was on the smaller side. I would have preferred more guest information about exploring lyme regis. Such as local leaflets etc. The host agreed to make sandwiches for two, to take out for the first day and the evening of the next day (this was advertised in the guest information for an evening offer) this was basic cheese and a jam sandwich, bannana, and two packets of crisps. I was very shocked to be charged £50 for these sandwiches and bits at checkout and felt I had to pay. I was incredibly grateful to the host for making these, but had I known it was going to be £50 I would have purchased sandwiches out. Even with labour and time, this was way above what I would have expected to pay.

The quality and standard of not just our room but the whole house was beautifully and very tastefully decorated. The breakfasts were superb; the poached egg was absolutely perfect and much better than we can achieve at home! The pool was an added delight and it was wonderful to cool-off and relax in after a hard day's walking, driving and sight-seeing. In fact, the Dower House Hotel, facilities, staff, location, and particularly Neil & Rosemarie were just perfect!

A lovely place to stay! Dower House is tastefully decorated and furnished with modern touches but still in keeping with its beautiful Victorian architecture. Neil and Rosemarie are very welcoming, friendly hosts who gave us great recommendations. Great breakfast choice which was delicious and plentiful.

We stayed in one of their smaller bedrooms which was small but perfectly formed with lovely views of the garden. If we were to book again (and I hope we will) we'd book one of the bigger rooms which we were lucky enough to see and are lovely!

Huge & very comfortable bed. Delicious breakfast. Best poached eggs we’ve ever had. We were told they were laid that morning. Welcoming & helpful owners. Lovely garden. Swimming pool looked nice although wasn’t warm enough to swim. Dog owners breakfasted in the bar & non dog owners breakfasted in the dining room. Both very nice rooms & a sensible way to keep everyone happy. We will definitely be back next time we are in the area.

Nothing really. We were in the Somer Rooms which was lovely but there wasn’t room for our 2 suitcases which we left in the car & just had overnight bags in the room. This was fine for us & room was very nice. There are larger rooms if you want more space. Booking direct would enable you to ask about room size.

I think this was probably the nicest hotel I've ever stayed at. The room was gorgeous and the owners so friendly, relaxed and helpful. The whole place had such a nice vibe to it. Breakfast was lovely. Nothing was too much trouble. We felt the owners really took pride in making sure guests were happy and comfortable. We stayed here to break up our journey to Cornwall but I would return just to stay at this hotel again (and hopefully use the pool if the weather was better). We stayed at another hotel in Bath on the way home (which I won't name) paid the same and the difference was stark. The Dower House Hotel in Lyme Regis is everything a hotel should be and more, a real gem.

Nothing. Everything was excellent.

From arrival we made to feel very much at home. The swimming pool was very clean and an added bonus bearing in mind the weather was so hot. The breakfast was served to us in the bar area as we had a dog (who was given a sausage to enjoy) and this was very well organised. The room was exceptional and the views magnificent. The bed and shower were all excellent. We would certainly visit again.

Nothing

House is situated in a beautiful location, the grounds were lovely and well taken care of. The owner and staff were super friendly, felt like home from home. The room was amazing, had the most stunning views of the countryside (we also loved seeing the Great Danes out of our window). You aren’t far from Lyme Regis. The breakfast was really good quality, really tasty. I would 100% recommend and hope we will be back ourselves. You can tell that this hotel is well loved, a lot of care and hard work is put into it to make it such a beautiful place to stay.

We have just returned home after spending a few days in Dorset. We stayed at the Dower House and really enjoyed our stay with Neil and Rosemarie. Their hotel has a warm and friendly feel and they were very welcoming. Our bedroom was beautifully decorated (though the bed was a bit too soft for us - we spoke to Rosemarie the following day and she very kindly sorted out the mattress for us and we slept very well the following nights) and the on-suite very well positioned and very clean. Breakfast was very delicious too, we had a full English breakfast each day. We would definitely return and would also recommend this accommodation to others

The hosts are warm and welcoming. We stated in the Luxury Suite, which was exceptionally clean, comfortable and spacious. The feature copper bath was impressive; backed up with 5 star hotel standard high water pressure (an important detail with these large baths!) The room is very reasonably priced for the standard. Very good tea and coffee facilities in the room provided with fresh milk. Do not skip breakfast, which is prepared to perfection with friendly, unpretentious service. You also get a very good cup of tea with it. This hotel is all about the details (e.g. high water pressure, freshly squeezed orange juice with breakfast, good wine list). Exceptional all round.

Nothing.
