There is nothing bad to say about this place.

Very clean and quiet room. Lovely friendly hosts, knowledgeable about the area and gave excellent recommendations. Will stay here again. Walking distance from town (bit hilly but manageable)

Felt sl bamboozled into choosing full English breakfast on the first day before I was ready and hadn’t assessed the other options available. Perhaps a little more explanation on the first morning

On site parking, at a premium in Lyme Regis though a tight squeeze Very friendly hosts Nice walk to town without too many hills Guest fridge

the location was in great distance from the town and beach as well as being a beautiful walk along the river side as well. it was peaceful and relaxing during the night, no disturbances or anything of the sort. lovely. the hosts were both very kind and welcoming, though we didn't see them all that much they were very genuine sweet people! would recommend to others in future!!!

We would have liked more space to hang our clothes as we had packed to cover all weathers.

The cooked breakfast was really good and cooked perfectly. The location was was just right for us - a short walk by a stream onto the seafront avoided the hills! We also had a glimpse of the sea from our room.

A perfect place to stay for a visit to Lyme Regis. We had a twin room and stayed for 3 nights- our room was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed including a great shower and very comfortable beds. Cooked breakfast in the pretty breakfast room each morning was spot on with lots of options to eat and drink. Our hosts were friendly and very helpful with lots of suggestions and information about the local area. We arrived by train and the bus from Axminster was quick and easy stopping just a 5 min walk away so a great choice if you're travelling via public transport. The location really was great for us, less than a 10 min walk along the river and past pretty houses and shops down to the beach. 100% would recommend this property and we will stay here again when we next return to Lyme Regis.

Where do I start? Charnwood Guest House is an absolute gem. The property is beautiful and perfectly located—just a short, scenic walk from the beach and the heart of Lyme Regis. Our room was cozy, comfortable, and simply perfect. We slept with the window open both nights, enjoying the fresh sea air, the peaceful chirping of birds, and the occasional call of seagulls—it was idyllic. The hosts were incredibly warm, kind, and welcoming. They even went out of their way to store our bikes safely in their garage, which we really appreciated. Breakfast was a real highlight. Although we rarely eat breakfast, we couldn’t resist the tempting aroma of freshly brewed coffee and the delicious bacon -it was the perfect start to the day. We completely fell in love with Lyme Regis, and if we’re lucky enough to return, we’ll definitely be staying at Charnwood again. Highly recommended!

I arrived late due to disruption with my train journey, but communication with Phil and Ruth was very good throughout and they were very welcoming when I did finally arrive. My room was very clean and comfortable and it had everything that I needed. Breakfast was very good too. Phil and Ruth were very attentive and happy to help with any enquiries about the local area.

Phil and Ruth were lovely. They were very welcoming and helpful. Everything was very clean and comfortable. The breakfast was delicious. We particularly enjoyed walking from their house along the River Lim path into Lyme Regis for supper. I was with my elderly parents. Phil and Ruth gave us great ideas for places to visit and provided excellent local knowledge to advise us about level walks, suitable for my parents

If coming in from the west then the satnav tries to turn you into a one way street. You need to drop to the next road and come back up. Parking is tight but manageable.

Great breakfast, wonderful hosts and great value for money. A nice easy walk along the river Lym into town to miss all the hills. Just approximately 50 metres down a steep hill to the footpath along the river

Pleasant breakfast room and chatting to the other guests and owners each day. We were made very welcome and the breakfast was great. The location and short walk into town by the river was a pleasant surprise. Hope to return in the future.

Charnwood guest house is in an excellent location. It is a very pleasant easy walk along a little river past some historic cottages and a mill into Lyme Regis. You can also walk the other way to Uplyme which was lovely too. We preferred being on the outskirts and walking into Lyme Regis. The parking was really useful, and I am really glad that I booked accommodation with parking. Our room (room 4) was very compact with a small double bed but was very well appointed and it had everything you need (including tea and coffee making facilities). Although small, it was absolutely fine for a couple of nights. Our room also had views of Lyme Regis, which was a pleasant surprise. The freshly cooked breakfasts were delicious. Finally, Ruth and Phil were fantastic hosts and gave us lots of really useful information about Lyme Regis. We were very pleased with our choice of accommodation and I would not hesitate to recommend Charnwood guest house.

Not being a huge breakfast eater, I requested a bacon sandwich instead. Excellent choice! The full breakfasts being consumed around me did look really good.

Charnwood is a lovely B and B in an excellent location. Ruth and Phil are wonderful hosts with an abundance of local knowledge and information. Cleanliness is of a high standard. Breakfast is lovely, with choices to suit all dietary requirements. Car parking is available at the B and B. A short walk into town along the riverside is a must. I would recommend Charnwood to family and friends.

Had a lovely stay at Charnwood Guest House. The hosts were friendly and welcoming. The room was spotless, had everything l needed, and the bed was also comfy. The breakfast was delicious too with lots of choice available. It is also located just a short walk into town, which was perfect. I would definitely recommend staying, and l look forward to returning on my next trip to Lyme Regis. Thank you. :)

No biggy for me, but my single room didn't have a shaver/electric toothbrush socket

Location, 10min pleasurable walk to town centre/beach. Room, spotlessly clean. Hardworking, friendly hosts with can-do attitude, to ensure best stay experience.

There was nothing we didn’t like. The only small thing that could’ve made it even better would have been a bit more space to store our clothes. The drawers in the bedside cabinet were very small and there was very little hanging space for clothes. But we coped fine for the three days we were there.

We stayed here at this lovely guesthouse for 3 nights in May 25. We were made to feel very welcome by our hosts, and our room was clean, and comfortable with a nice view from the window with the sea in the distance. The bed was especially comfortable and we both slept well. The breakfasts were great- lots of choice of cereals, a fabulous full English breakfast and as much toast & jam and fresh fruit as we wanted. All in all we had a lovely stay here and would definitely recommend it. It’s in a nice quiet position but in easy walking distance to the town / seafront. The car parking on site was also excellent.
