Next to Lyme Regis front beach, 1 minute walk. Walking distance to Charmouth beach walking along the beach, 50 minutes and 1.5 miles. Walking distance to Monmouth Beach, ammonite pavement, 20 minutes walk. There’s a pool, a jacuzzi, and a sauna. You got to book first, one hour each family/room. The services of checking in, breakfast, and so on were professional. Room was clean and quiet. The only downside is some light daints on the carpet floor, but they’re cleaned just hard to remove. This was a very minor issue. My comment is based on the sale price. So it added to the great stay experience.

Great location but hotel in need of refurbishment
We liked the friendly reception at our arrival but where disappointed with the room. The overall impression of the room was run down and in urgent need of refurbishment.The twin beds, though comfortable, had very stained headboards! The large bathroom, had torn liner carpet and the water pressure/mixing of cold/hot water was difficult to control. The towels were fluffy and there was plenty of nice shampoo/shower/handwash available. We also did not like that the room was sprayed with a type of air freshener, It was too much! At breakfast, we felt the tables were very sticky from using possibly a spray polish? The cooked food selection was o.k. but the cold breakfast selection was not great, so it was not value for money.

A beautiful old coaching inn in the historic centre of Lyme Regis. Staff were really friendly, the room comfortable and breakfast excellent. Easy parking and a very short walk to the sea, shops, restaurants and bars. Will definitely stay again.
