Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is conveniently located in Lyme, very close to the seafront and the beach, offering a great spot for relaxation. The rooms are well-equipped with a king-size bed, kept very clean, and a small balcony for enjoying the views. The service, while friendly, was noted to lack in promptness and efficiency. The dining experience, with freshly baked cookies included, was highlighted as a pleasant touch. Overall, the hotel offers a comfortable stay with some room for improvement in service efficiency.
The hotel is in a prime location near the seafront, right in the center of everything, and conveniently close to the bus stop from Axminster station. The rooms are spacious, clean, and equipped with a comfortable king-size bed and great facilities. The service, while friendly overall, could be more attentive, especially on addressing guests' requests promptly. The dining experience, with included seriously yummy Pork Belly, adds a delicious touch to the stay. The facilities are modern and well-maintained, offering a quality experience.
The hotel is ideally located, just next to the bus stop from Axminster station and close to all amenities in the lively town center. The rooms offer a comfy king-size bed, a small balcony, and great facilities, making for a pleasant stay overall. However, I found the management a bit lazy when it came to addressing concerns, which was a downside. The housekeeping service and welcome drink were satisfactory.
