    Shower wasn't hot enough ... but that is the only fault.

    Really comfortable and well appointed room with a massive bathroom right in the centre of Lyme Regis and surprisingly quiet. Very friendly and helpful staff, nothing was too much trouble. Really recommend the Pilot Boat, it was great

    The lighting at the dressing table is poor for everything you would do at a dressing table e.g makeup, luckily the lighting in the bathroom is good.

    The whole experience was amazing. The room had everything you would want and more. The food was fantastic and all the staff were great.

    Highly recommend. Great location on the beach. Clean, well equiped and nicely decorated room. Nice to have a good hair dryer, coffee maker, fridge, beer etc on the room. Staff very helpful, attentive and friendly. Initially hesitant about no on-site parking however, there are two paid car park just meters away. No charge overnight and can top up via the parking app during paid hours.

    Quite expensive but worth it for the location. Lovely big shower but very slippery surface - risk of slipping over needs some sort of floor surfacing.

    Great location although parking a bit of a juggle. Room had all the facilities we needed , bathroom very spacious, lovely White Company little bottles of shower gel etc Staff very friendly and helpful

    Cannot think of anything that could have been better.

    A1 location with a sea view from our well appointed room - we could see the sea from our bed. Very large bathroom with roll top bath as well as v large shower. Loved the room, staff were charming and our evening meal was here too, as we only stayed one night en route to Devon. Highly recommend and will stop here again.
