What an amazing place. Great property with lovely grounds in a fabulous location. The hotel was a great blend of old and new with a lovely overall feel. The owners gave a really warm welcome to my wife and I and our 2 dogs. If you want luxury and somewhere that also caters for your 4 legged friend, this is it! Cannot recommend more highly!

First Class
Dower House Hotel is one of the most welcoming & accomodating hotels. Makes you wish you could stay longer in super comfortable room & lovely surroundings. They don’t have evening meals but this provides opportunity to explore the selection of eateries in the area.

We have had another fabulous stay at the Dower House Hotel and were looked after by our wonderful hosts Neil and Rosemary and their team. Since our last stay the en-suite shower room in “Peek” has been updated which is very smart. Attention to detail is excellent with many nice little touches and now with the addition of lovely fluffy gowns. The “Devon” breakfast is substantial and made with top quality ingredients. Well done !

A warm welcome from the owners at the Dower House. What a lovely stay we had. Such a lovely hotel and grounds, with an outdoor pool too. The rooms are furnished to a high standard, with a comfortable bed,. A quiet location but only 2 miles into Lyme Regis. Can’t recommend this hotel highly enough.

Fantastic place to stay, Neil, Rosemarie and all the staff are so welcoming. A good choice and quality of breakfast which was cooked only once you ordered and therefore was lovely and hot (so many hotels end up with warm breakfasts). We have already recommended to several friends!

Dissapointed
Lovely house and friendly owner. There it begins to unwind. The room was very nice BUT the heating is broken so instead of having 4 nice radiators pumping out some heat we had one small electric oil filled radiator. So yes the room was cold. Went downstairs to have a sandwich. I had one round of cheese and my wife had a round of cheese and pickle. We also had a few crisps sprinkled on the side. We had to leave a day early as my wife wasn’t feeling too well so I just paid the bill without looking. BIG MISTAKE. We were charged £12 for the plain cheese sandwich. Oh that’s £12 each so the total food bill was a mighty £24!! Before posting this review I emailed the hotel as I think there must have been a mistake. But to date (2 days later) I haven’t even received the courtesy of a reply. You won’t get fat on the breakfast either. Tasty yes. Portions small. A side order of toast for 2 people was one slice cut in half. Maybe this bread is made with gold dust. Would I return. No.
