I've stayed at the Mariners twice before but this was the first time since its renovation and updating. It is a lovely hotel and the owners have done well to combine the old world charm of the original building with new fittings and facilities. Everywhere you look, there is quality - hardwood floor in the dining room, slate in the... more

We found this little gem after cancelling our room at the Alexandra Hotel (see my review) which was awful! This hotel offers old world charm, yet has modern refurbished rooms and a lovely comfortable sitting area overlooking a pretty garden and views of the sea. All the staff were only to pleased to assist but were discreet in ensuring the... more

My daughter and I paid the full price for a last-minute twin room which we were told had an 'un-refurbished bathroom' - they weren't kidding! The female on reception was 'unable' to give us directions from the town centre to get to the hotel and ignored us for so long when we arrived at reception that we had eventually to... more

Having had several fly drive holidays in the past few years my husband and me decided it was time to see parts of this country we hadnt seen. Lyme Regis was one of them. We chose the Mariners because of the parking but were delighted at our choice. The hotel is lovely. We stayed for 3 nights the room was... more

We have just stayed for 2 nights at the Mariners at Lyme Regis, and I think it was lovely! The staff were all very welcoming and helpful, and our room was well decorated and had a beautiful view, and from our room (no 1) you could walk out onto the roof terrace (it would have been lovely to sit out... more

We were booked into another local hotel, but on arrival had been extremely disappointed with the quality of the room we had been offered, so we left to try and find alternative accommodation for the night. Fortunately for us the first place we tried was The Mariners, which is a beautiful picture postcard thatched hotel. The manager said that, although... more

Our £150 for a family room got us a room just big enough for a king size double-bed, a wardrobe and a put-me-up truckle bed (which our five year old sat on and dislodged a slat). We had a view of a leylandii hedge a metre from the steamed up window. Much worse, the room was above the bar which... more

This is not in the centre of Lyme Regis but a quarter of an hour's walk up a steep hill from the town - but it's worth it! It's an old house with a garden at the back affording a great view over the coast; we spent some time there both evenings we were there, having a drink and enjoying... more

We visited this hotel last year, the sun was shining and the area of lyme was beautiful, situated on the edge of lyme we thought it would be a perfect bolt hole to stay and explore the town. We were greeted with a quaint pretty builing and the reception area and bar were obviously newly refurbished and to a high... more
