An enjoyable, relaxing stay. Useful being on a bus route.
Pros:

Breakfast excellent and dinner was too.

Cons:

Would like to have been warned that our room was at the top of the building up several flights of stairs. A bit much for a couple in their late eighties! Room 8

Heerlijk
Pros:

Supervriendelijke medewerkers die het ons echt naar de zin wilden maken. De kamer was tiptop in orde.

Cons:

De vele trappetjes totdat je in de kamer was, erg charmant maar wel een beetje vermoeiend. De locatie is prachtig maar als je geen auto hebt is de busverbinding naar het stadje wel een ding (vooral ‘s avonds).

Wonderful stay and Fernhill Joe & Rob were perfect hosts and have a great team working for them.
Pros:

The breakfast was cooked to perfection. Food was plentiful and of good quality. Nothing was too much trouble. Table service was second to none
.

Cons:

The room could have been bigger but this was reflected in the price and it didn't spoil are stay. We did overlook the pool so this was a big bonus. Also was able to view larger rooms and they were exceptional.

Lovely well run hotel, swimming pool and gardens lovely
Pros:

The breakfast was good. The location was good, excellent for walkers.

Cons:

The room was okay but the en suite was rather small and a little awkward. We would ask for a different room if we were going to stay again.

Perfect in every way
Pros:

Location was perfect for fossil hunting, the staff were warm and friendly. Bus stops right outside to get into Lyme Regis.

Cons:

It’s at the top of a big hill, which is only really an issue if you think ‘I won’t wait for the bus, I’ll walk’. We survived the walk but we never did it again.
