Dorset House Shortlist*
Lyme Regis, Dorset
Good Hotel Guide Review
‘Top class in all respects’, Lyn and Jason Martin’s Grade II listed Regency B&B overlooking the Jurassic coast is pleasing inside and out. An honesty bar adds to the attraction of the snug (fire-warmed in cool weather); on fine days, guests may have breakfast on the veranda. On the first floor, handsome modern bedrooms each have their own style and charm, plus a host of extras: freshly ground coffee and artisanal tea, locally baked treats, fluffy bathrobes, British-made toiletries. Through large sash windows, three of the rooms have sea views beyond the town’s rooftops. The Aga-fresh breakfast is ‘excellent’, with locally roasted coffee, home-made granola and sourdough, and organic sausages and bacon.
