A very nice small hotel full of character and in a beautiful setting and convenient to lyme regis. See and countryside views from the room. Lovely gardens. Friendly owners and staff went out of their way to make sure we had eventing we needed... the owners checked in with us at breakfast each morning. The 3 course table service breakfast was selectable from a menu. Classy but not pretentious.

This is a beautiful place to stay. Nice rooms with nice bathrooms. Very friendly and helpful staff. Great breakfast. The heated pool was so nice. We drove there and there was plenty of parking. Would like to return some day for a longer stay. Dog friendly.

The location is very good, being just a 10 min drive to Lyme Regis centre, with a very good car park as you enter the town, free after 6pm! Good restaurants, some of vehicular close on Sunday. Rooms very comfortable and a very warm welcome with a hearty breakfast

Excellent location, only a few mins from the town. Beautiful views and a stunning hotel both inside and out and our room had a huge comfy bed (we needed a step ladder) and a bathtub you could relax and immerse yourself in. Great staff, so helpful and accommodating. We had a wonderful short break. We will definitely be back. Thank you :)
Victoria, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We have had another fabulous stay at the Dower House Hotel and were looked after by our wonderful hosts Neil and Rosemary and their team. Since our last stay the en-suite shower room in “Peek” has been updated which is very smart. Attention to detail is excellent with many nice little touches and now with the addition of lovely fluffy gowns. The “Devon” breakfast is substantial and made with top quality ingredients. Well done !

Perfect place to relax as be spoilt.

A three day break to revisit the lovely places in and around Lyme and couldn’t emote pleased with our voice of hotel. Perfect location and wonderful place to relax and enjoy te kind hospitality of owners Neil and Rosemarie. They were keen to make us very comfortable and provide excellent breakfasts - even our dog received a sausage as a treat each morning. We were all very spout.

Lovely hotel

We stayed for 2 nights in a standard double (peek )room in July .The room was very nice with a large bathroom with quality fitments, including a rainfall shower.The breakfast was very good and cooked to order.There is no restaurant for evening meals but this is not a problem as the hosts recommended the ship inn not far away.A family run restaurant where we dined twice .The hosts are super friendly ( I haven’t been hugged leaving a hotel before) and I’m sure they would accommodate any reasonable request you may have .We didn’t get to use he outside pool due to the weather which was the only downer on an enjoyable stay

Dissapointed

Lovely house and friendly owner. There it begins to unwind. The room was very nice BUT the heating is broken so instead of having 4 nice radiators pumping out some heat we had one small electric oil filled radiator. So yes the room was cold. Went downstairs to have a sandwich. I had one round of cheese and my wife had a round of cheese and pickle. We also had a few crisps sprinkled on the side. We had to leave a day early as my wife wasn’t feeling too well so I just paid the bill without looking. BIG MISTAKE. We were charged £12 for the plain cheese sandwich. Oh that’s £12 each so the total food bill was a mighty £24!! Before posting this review I emailed the hotel as I think there must have been a mistake. But to date (2 days later) I haven’t even received the courtesy of a reply. You won’t get fat on the breakfast either. Tasty yes. Portions small. A side order of toast for 2 people was one slice cut in half. Maybe this bread is made with gold dust. Would I return. No.
Graham, 2-night trip

Great staffs, gorgeous and clean room, fantastic breakfast, everything was perfect. There’s no restaurant for dinner but you can deliver or take out some and have it in the bar and they will offer some cutlary and plates.

Amazing hotel, staff and location

Neil & Rosemary were very friendly and lovely when we arrived and during our stay. Our room was as excellent with a large bed, bath in the room and TV, etc. The lounge where the bar is was lovely and breakfast was all local. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back again

Perfection

By far the best hotel on a week long tour of Hampshire/Dorset/Devon. We stayed in a variety of places (including a huge and quite fabulous High-Victorian mansion in the New Forest) but The Dower House was far and away the nicest hotel in every way. Spotlessly clean, beautiful rooms, everything immaculate, wonderfully helpful, friendly hosts. Can't recommend this place highly enough.
