A very nice small hotel full of character and in a beautiful setting and convenient to lyme regis. See and countryside views from the room. Lovely gardens. Friendly owners and staff went out of their way to make sure we had eventing we needed... the owners checked in with us at breakfast each morning. The 3 course table service breakfast was selectable from a menu. Classy but not pretentious.

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 !

Excellent location, only a few mins from the town. Beautiful views and a stunning hotel both inside and out and our room had a huge comfy bed (we needed a step ladder) and a bathtub you could relax and immerse yourself in. Great staff, so helpful and accommodating. We had a wonderful short break. We will definitely be back. Thank you :)

Lovely hotel

We stayed for 2 nights in a standard double (peek )room in July .The room was very nice with a large bathroom with quality fitments, including a rainfall shower.The breakfast was very good and cooked to order.There is no restaurant for evening meals but this is not a problem as the hosts recommended the ship inn not far away.A family run restaurant where we dined twice .The hosts are super friendly ( I haven’t been hugged leaving a hotel before) and I’m sure they would accommodate any reasonable request you may have .We didn’t get to use he outside pool due to the weather which was the only downer on an enjoyable stay

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.

Wonderful charming hotel near the sea

Charming bed and breakfast style hotel only 4 minutes to downtown Lyme Regis by car. The property: My kids LOVED the pool and the huge flat green lawn to run and play on. The building and grounds were clean and comfortable. The room: Our family of five stayed together in one large room at a reasonable price. Food: We got takeout for dinner and a.nd ate it on the back deck. The property has a bar, so we were able to buy a beer and wine to enjoy with dinner and by the pool. Breakfast was in a charming dining room and everything was delicious. Family friendly: They have a cot and bedding for babies/toddlers, as well as a high chair for the dining room. The owners/staff: Super friendly and helpful yet non-obtrusive. If you need anything you just ring a buzzer and they come out to help. I would LOVE to stay here again. It's a gem.
