The Wifi not being secured and the dogs in the dining room

Free parking, friendly welcome, excellent breakfast, comfortable room, nice evening meal, lovely old building with character but well adapted to the modern world

I know that my only fault with my stay is due to the age and character of the building, but you could hear everything from the adjoining room ( conversation and use of toilet and running water).

Location, free parking and a lovely breakfast. Staff were lovely also. The garden to the rear was lovely to sit out in.

Bit of an effort walking back uphill, but fortunately there's a bench half-way.

Pretty place with its own parking across the road; en-suite rooms clean and comfortable, although tall people need to watch the beams; plenty of choice at breakfast, and a good selection for dinner, which was delicious. The dining-room is light and airy, and overlooks a pretty garden with sea-view. From the hotel, the approach to the sea-front, along the main road, is probably a 10-minute downhill walk, but it's worth it, with so many interesting shops, cafes, restaurants, and quite a few fossil-shops. If you want to find your own fossils, try beachcombing, or take a 10-minute drive eastwards to Charmouth, where there's parking (Council and private), a beach-front free-entry Museum (interesting!), and you can buy a hammer and safety-goggles to go whack a few stones on the beaches - and it's a triumph if you actually find your own fossil (you have to pick the right type of stone, though!).

Our room was hot, but it was hot weather and sunny, so the hotel could do nothing about that, but there was a cooling fan in the room which helped.

Convenient position with parking. Helpful and friendly staff and lovely breakfast wit views across the bay.

Very low water pressure for the shower, road noise (appreciate that's out of their control). Evening meal - slow service, over an hour wait from ordering. Could have just been unlucky.

Big airy, spotlessly clean room. Lovely staff. Good location. Breakfast tasty.

Quite a hill to walk up from town. Be aware narrow stairs and no lift if you have luggage.

Lovely friendly staff and relaxed vibe. Clean and property as described. Found bed to be comfy and lovely breakfast. Parking was grand.

Cute, quirky, fairly clean, beautiful furnishings throughout. Lovely breakfast with plenty of choice. Super friendly young lady working in the afternoon/evening of our stay.

The bed was very soft and squeaky in room 8. Good size though and well-equipped. Spotlessly clean.

Truly pet-friendly and lovely to see all the canine guests enjoying the dining ambience with their families. Very pretty and well-lit dining room with superb views from the garden. Beware the seagulls when eating outside, though I chose to eat in.

Only a couple of things... first just a personal issue for me..food smells wafting into our room as the kitchen was at the bottom of the stairs and always had the door open...and secondly the toilet roll holder kept falling off the wall.

The garden and view was beautiful....on our second day when the sun came out it felt like we were abroad. Good choice of food for breakfast, the evening meal was very tasty and portions were huge...they had there own parking which was a big plus .

The water pressure was weak in the shower. And with the historic houses you are never going to get big rooms. But if you embrace this as an opportunity to experience some genuine seaside accommodation, you will not be disappointed.

We were wonderfully greeted and made to feel comfortable and cared for during our whole stay. The age and quirkiness of the building and rooms meant we had a unique experience and yet there was no sacrifice on the quality of the furnishings. The view of the sea is worth the money, even on a cold summer's day. And both the double & twin rooms were lovely. The breakfast and dinner were also fabulous. Would recommend booking your dinner ahead so you don't miss out!

Bit noisy on the road. Not enough hooks in the bedroom for hanging.

Wonderful old building, full of character. Exceptional views at the rear of the building. The rooms at the front are on the road so take white noise / ear plugs. Family owned for decades and the son is now trying to update some areas. Location at the top of high st is about 5-10 minutes walk to the town. But the view is lovely, dog friendly and they were happy with one night in August (we were walking). Bus stop is right outside. We were in family room with one double, adjoining twin and small shower room.

Room was very comfortable however because of the age of the building the ceiling height was quite low which resulted in the room got hot quickly when the sun shone and being on the top floor the heat was concentrated in our room. Wouldn't have been bearable during the very hot spells we've had recently. My suggestion would be to install air conditioning.

Breakfast was Excellent.. Good choice of meals and all were excellently presented and cooked to perfection.!
