Chaotic on first morning Excellent on second

Seagulls walking on roof at night

The recent upgrades to the hotel have been well thought out and are in keeping with the coaching inn history. The menus were very good and offer good options for vegetarians. Two minor points : it is not easy to contact the hotel by phone - too much AI and answering machine. There is no re placement for a human being. Also, there seems to be a central purchasing policy for meat, which may make sense financially but means that guests who are ethically against religiously slaughtered meat or the gassing of pigs cannot safely touch some excellent items on the menu. Maybe locally sourced produce for some meat products - labelled on the menus - could be considered in future. Staff were excellent. Please see above.

Brilliant location ideal for anyone visiting Lym Regis Lovely old building with lots of character Rooms lovely clean and spacious breakfast was good had a lot of variety Lounge areas very comfortable Ample parking Staff very welcoming Sadly there was no hot water in the morning Cold shower wasn’t the way to start your day

Great location - friendly and helpful staff - bar and restaurant serving really good food I was there during the heatwave so the room was very hot but that’s not the fault of the property and they did provide a fan that worked well enough

Interesting, lively old hotel right in the heart of Lyme Regis. Good parking facilities at the back. Floors and corridors a bit creaky, along with self-closing firedoors. No lifts.

Great central location, staff really happy and helpful, very comfortable beds. Good quality towels and toiletries. Great breakfast, not a wide variety but very fresh and delicious. Our room is the few rooms still remaining to be modernised and we would have been more comfortable with air conditioning.

We had a very nice room overlooking the high street, but being an old hotel lots of stairs and narrowcorridors. Breakfast service very inefficient. Restaurant closed on our first night.
