Room 6, described by guests as immaculate and quiet, includes both garden and sea views from its windows. The Countess room provides a large bay window with panoramic vistas over Lyme Bay and the well-maintained grounds.
On-Site Dining with Local Ingredient Sourcing
The Orangery dining room serves dinner using ingredients sourced according to the Good Fish Guide and seasonal local produce. Breakfast options include buffet, à la carte, and continental, with vegetarian, dairy-free, and gluten-free menus available. The restaurant menu changes with the seasons and offers local, international, and European cuisine.
Sustainability and Grounds
The hotel holds a Green Tourism Business Scheme Gold Award and a Dorset Tourism Sustainability Silver Award for its environmental practices.

“This hotel commands a prime position overlooking the sea, with rooms, especially those with garden access, offering significant comfort and style. Its family ownership clearly translates into a polished, attentive service, and the dining, from breakfast through to dinner, uses local produce to great effect. It strikes a sophisticated yet welcoming note, making a return visit feel not just likely, but entirely sensible.”
