Overall Ratings & Reviews Cobb Arms

Very busy area right on the waterfront, and amazingly quiet considering how busy the pub was. Great shower, convenient to swimming area, walkable to while area and fossil hunting. WiFi issues the Only drawback.

Great location at the quieter end of Lyme right next to the Cobb, harbour and beach. The staff were really welcoming, friendly and hardworking. The food was good too. Lovely outdoor spaces to enjoy with a pint overlooking the harbour.

Location was very good - although we parked miles away. Friendly staff, nicely decorated bedroom and decent breakfast - apart from no marmalade. TV didn’t work but that didn’t matter.

Great if you have dogs

It's a great pub, right by the harbour. The food was amazing, we had dinner and breakfast. The room was clean and had all the bits you need, kettle, tea/coffee etc. Bottled water by the bed. The ensuite bathroom was good as well. It's a small place, only 3 rooms, so breakfast was only 9-10, which might catch you out if you want early start. But the breakfast was really good!

Good value pub accommodation. Exceptionally clean room with good facilities. Location excellent. Breakfast and evening bar meals of good standard. Do have to pay for nearby parking which for a two night stay could come to about £40 extra but worth it for the convenience. A few minor snags with room but not significant. Staff very helpful and friendly.

Parking was slightly difficult due to roadworks, but the location was perfect.

Brilliantly situated near the Cobb, beaches, car parks and all Lyme Regis has to offer. Comfy rooms, separate guest entrance, very lovely breakfasts. Lovely staff in restaurant at breakfast. Great two night stay.

Charming inn house in a great location. Easily walkable to most of town and the beaches. We visited mid-week in September, so we had no trouble finding parking in the nearby pay and display lot. There's no a/c, so you will want to keep the windows open. I can imagine it could get noisy in the high season, but we were not bothered for our visit. Overall, I would recommend it.

A really friendly, welcoming pub - and good value for money in Lyme. Food is very good, staff really friendly, any problems resolved quickly with good grace. Would recommend to anyone for a comfy stay.

Situation and food both e cells t. Arrived around six, cold and damp, obviously came as a big surprise to the bar staff. Several room keys on the board, told them - to my husband’s embarrassment - we’d paid for the better bedroom on the booking website. There was no guarantee of a sea view in doing this, but we were hoping. After a phone call we were taken to a pleasant room overlooking a side street, and the bins. Neither the radiator in our bedroom or in the bathroom worked. Scrambled under the covers to get warm, rested for a while before walking round the town. Asked a member of the bar staff if we could have the radiator in the bedroom turned on. She said she’d look into it. Pub crammed with happy diners, food looked great, decided we’d eat there the following evening. Came back to a cold bedroom. Breakfast perfect, hot, freshly cooked, high quality produce. Out for the day, intending to return for dinner, knowing last food orders taken at 9. A couple arrived 8.30 ish and were told food service was over. We had a drink instead. Pub packed up around us as diners left, returned to the cold bedroom, had a bath to warm up.

We had a good stay at the Cobb arms. The staff are very nice and the breakfast was lovely. Very convenient location. Beds were small and not very comfortable.

Lovely hotel and very nice pub, so close to the beach. Breakfast was excellent

Food at the pub was much better than I had expected, rather superior to the ones in London.

We booked this hotel using clubcard vouchers, it was handy to find a place to stay in the centre of Lyme Regis which allowed dogs to stay. The location was brilliant and we loved being able to park the car up the road and leave it there so we could enjoy the beautiful town. The absolutely best thing about our stay was the service as everyone was so friendly, welcoming and couldn't be more helpful. The breakfast was wonderful, very tasty with generous portions. The way they cooked the tomatoes especially was delicious! We loved having a view of the harbour while we ate. The room was nice - very clean and attractive. We slept well. I liked how there was enough tea and milk for more than one drink each. I would suggest the bathroom needs a modern update at some point, plus a shelf for your toiletries and it would be lovely to have clean windows as it's not a bad view from room 1. It was great that the windows opened for fresh air. We'll definitely come back again.

Very friendly welcome - most convenient for other event of our visit. Room was cold on arrival, but warmed by the time we returned. Evening food adequate, but made up for by very friendly staff.

Pleasant and convenient

Lovely room, central location, friendly staff. We will visit again.

We had a great stay at The Cobb Arms, the staff were really welcoming and helpful. They were obviously in the midst of decorating some of the hall areas, so they were a bit untidy for good reasons. The bed was very comfortable and the bottled water was a nice touch. Just to be a bit pedantic - the secondary glazing doesn't fit in the bedroom or the bathroom so the curtains/blind wave in the wind! The room was cold on our first day so had to request heating be put on. The day we left there was no heating at all which was invigorating in November! I had scallops in the restaurant which were fantastic - and the breakfasts were delicious. The chef deserves a big shiny gold star!!!

We stayed at the Cobb Arms with our dog for a couple of nights in November. The things we really liked: the staff were very friendly and helpful; the room was clean and comfortable; the beer (Palmers) was excellent; the food in the evening was good and definitely a cut above normal pub grub; the breakfasts were generous and the vegetarian breakfast we had on our second morning was delicious; our dog was made welcome; the pub was well situated being right by the Cobb itself. The things we liked less: there's no on site parking so we parked in a large pay and display car park about 10 minutes walk away up a pretty steep hill (we didn't mind the hill but it definitely wouldn't suit everyone), we paid £9 a day for this, which would be more expensive in the summer months; breakfast is served between 9 and 10, which is too late if you are planning an early start for a day's walking. Apart from these couple of negatives we really enjoyed our stay.
