We have just returned from a 2 night stay at The Dower House Hotel and can not speak highly enough about the hotel. The hotel itself is set in beautiful gardens, which were very well kept. The room and bathroom were spotlessly clean and the bed was one of the most comfortable I have every slept in. The breakfast was... More

My boyfriend and I stayed here for a long weekend and had a very lovely stay. The room was furnished to a high standard with authentic and comfortable four poster bed. The full English breakfast was delicious and hosts were good fun and very welcoming and so was Dave the dog - a big friendly giant! The bar was very... More

We were given a warm and friendly welcome on a very wet day and shown to a beautiful room, with a stunning 4 poster bed. The hotel is in a beautiful setting, spotlessly clean and extremely comfortable. Nothing was too much trouble during our stay and the owners went out of the way to ensure we enjoyed our stay with...

We managed to get down to Lyme Regis for the end of RNLI week and as we left it late to go our choices were limited but as the previous year we had stayed at the nearby campsite to Dower House, we were aware of the location! It was a very pleasant night's stay and they were very accomodating about... More

Situated just outside Lyme Regis, we felt this was the perfect spot to explore both Dorset and Devon.we were saved the impossible challenge of finding an hotel in Lyme Regis of an high standard and parking facilities. Set in its own gardens, with a separate lounge... More

Just spent a few nights at the hotel and was very impressed. The proprietors are helpful, friendly but only evident when you require them. We ate one night and the food was excellent. It was served in the bar because we were the only ones eating that night. We stayed in room No 1 which is a good size with... More

I searched on tripadvisor to find a hotel in Dorset that would accept my family dog. This hotel came up on the list and sounded great ! Well, firstly I was surprised to find the only two places my dog was allowed was inside the hotel main reception area and our bedroom. The dog was not allowed in the bar,... More

I found it hard to find a hotel with a family room and that would take dogs but this was a real gem. Perfect. Very friendly owners and just a short drive from Lyme Regis and other main attractions. Spotless place. The room was spacious and fresh.

This hotel says it is pet friendly. However, no secure space for dogs to run off lead nor any poo bins available. Dogs only allowed in reception or bedroom, not the bar or lounge. Swimming pool outdoor and unheated. Surrounding area was not clean leaves etc.

We do not often respond to Guest Reviews but on this occasion cannot leave this Review without our comments/response. We do allow pets at our hotel (indeed we have our own dog) but as a general rule do not allow them in the public areas such as the bar, lounge or restaurant simply because on many occasions we have other...

Went for an evening meal here as we were staying nearby. The food was great and the whitebait starter one of the best I have ever had. Most of us had lamb asthe main course and it was tender and delicious. Only small criticism was my cheese dessert which could have had a little more variety/imagination rath than standard cheeses....
