We were in the annexe part, and although our room, bathroom and balcony were great, every night hundreds of seagulls landed on our roof, running up and down squawking, I only had 2 hours sleep the first night. I’m told measures are being put in place to solve this problem. I don’t recommend rooms 31-35!

A quality Hotel in the heart of the town. Our room and its comfort was excellent. It was clean and well decorated with a spotless walk in shower. The staff were very polite, caring and interested. Big choices for breakfast, that were excellent. The only downside was the wi fi which didnt work away from the main building.

Great hotel in the heart of Lyme Regis

Great Hotel in superb location right in the middle of Lyme Regis. We were initially worried about parking, but on the day that we stayed there were plenty of places to park at the hotel and the car booking in system straightforward. We ate an evening meal in the hotel restaurant - typical pub fare but a few things were unavailable. Staff levels slightly low. Breakfast was really good, the staff very attentive and managed to customise my breakfast exactly as I wanted.

Lovely sea view from balcony. A large comfortable and very clean, well decorated room. Car park a little tight but managed to get a space the whole stay. Only issue was seagulls on the roof. Earplugs sorted that out

H&S Gone Mad

Over zealous health & safety on food allergy made for a frustrating stay. Sadly this prevented this hotel from being the perfect hotel in a perfect location. Staff were friendly and welcoming and the hotel manager did his best to accommodate within the H&S policy.
