What an amazing place. Great property with lovely grounds in a fabulous location. The hotel was a great blend of old and new with a lovely overall feel. The owners gave a really warm welcome to my wife and I and our 2 dogs. If you want luxury and somewhere that also caters for your 4 legged friend, this is it! Cannot recommend more highly!

Dower House Hotel is one of the most welcoming & accomodating hotels. Makes you wish you could stay longer in super comfortable room & lovely surroundings. They don’t have evening meals but this provides opportunity to explore the selection of eateries in the area.

A warm welcome from the owners at the Dower House. What a lovely stay we had. Such a lovely hotel and grounds, with an outdoor pool too. The rooms are furnished to a high standard, with a comfortable bed,. A quiet location but only 2 miles into Lyme Regis. Can’t recommend this hotel highly enough.

Fantastic place to stay, Neil, Rosemarie and all the staff are so welcoming. A good choice and quality of breakfast which was cooked only once you ordered and therefore was lovely and hot (so many hotels end up with warm breakfasts). We have already recommended to several friends!
