"All fir coat and no knickers". Friendly front of house staff. Food adequate, and not covid safe food presentation. Rooms VERY overpriced for the size and quality. Mainly for the rich, retired mobile elderly. Not suitable for any disabled person

We booked this hotel on account it has it's own car parking. We really loved our stay. The little details such as the handwritten welcome note, the impeccably clean room and bathroom, and the friendly nature of the staff has simply convinced us to book again......See you soon!

Stayed in room 47 which is on the ground floor overlooking the entrance path to Langmoor Gardens. The room was very basic and dated. The window did not close and we were woken every night by revellers returning from beach parties and then again at 6:45 by the Gardner using power tools. Reported the window issue after the first night but nothing was done and we were unable to move rooms as the hotel was full. The hotel has amazing views from the garden and restaurant but the management should not expect this to make up for poor experience and basic rooms.

Beautiful hotel restaurant close to the center of Lyme Regis. Beautiful place and view. The food is very good and the list of wine also very good. A bit expensive so depends what your looking for but the fish plates are fresh and well cooked.
